Umahi's sack: Why govs can't be removed from office for defecting - Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer, Ozekhome

Ozekhome insisted that a governor and his deputy cannot be removed from office for changing political parties.

The judge ruled that the votes that produced Umahi and his deputy were obtained under the PDP, hence could not be transferred to the APC.In a statement he signed, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, said: “The appellate courts have since held again and again that votes cast in an election belong to a live candidate and not the political party which merely serves as a vehicle that enthrone candidates.

“I, therefore, most respectfully submit that a political party is merely a vehicle in which a candidate can ride to contest an election and nothing more. The votes belong to the candidate and not the political party. The political party ceases to have any considerable relevance or insolence over a person that has won an election and has been sworn in as a legislator, Governor or President of the entire people, who are far larger than a mere political party.

Boss party own the post.....you can't steal and Run

I disagree with you Chief Ozekeme . The party worked for the votes. The party presented the live candidate and so on … Therefore the party owns the votes and not your logic .

But apc party removed deputy and sacked pdp members because they refused to join apc.

I really like it this way so we can identify the criminals in Nigeria 🇳🇬

This crossing of party lines should be stopped.... We have ended up in a situation where we are just voting for the same people in different parties... It doesn't make sense

If and if only if he contested as an independent candidate. Vote belongs to party, they worked against other parties during the election.
