Court Of Appeal Affirms Zamfara Governor, Matawalle's Defection From PDP To Ruling APC | Sahara Reporters

A Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto has approved the defection of Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle from the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress .This judgement dismissed an appeal case filed by some PDP members, Bashiru Saleh, Abdulhameed Haruna and Ibrahim Muhammad Turaki, seeking the removal of Governor Matawalle from office for defecting from the PDP to the APC.In Appeal No.

But the court affirmed the earlier decision of the Federal High Court, Gusau, which had held that Matawalle cannot be removed from office simply because he defected from the PDP to the APC. The court affirmed that a governor can defect from one party to another without losing his seat in tandem with the provisions of section 40 of the Constitution, and the binding decisions of the supreme court in A.G. FEDERATION V. ABUBAKAR ; and the Court of Appeal in OGBUOJI V. UMAHI .

The court added that once a governor is sworn in, he ceases to be under the control of the political party which sponsored him, and he can only be removed from office in line with the provisions of sections 180, 188 and 189 of the 1999 Constitution.
