Obigwe Tells APGA Defecting Lawmakers To Get Ready To Be Removed By Court

Unfolding political events has shown clearly that defectors should be ready to sacrifice their mandate.

You cannot win election in APGA and move to APC with APGA mandate.

It’s not done and cannot be condoned by APGA.

In a recent Supreme Court judgment, a House of Reps member representing Akure South/North in the Federal House of Representative was ordered to vacate his position for defecting from Labour Party to APC with the mandate of Labour Party.

I don’t want to talk about the Federal High Court judgment that issued a similar order to Governor Dave Umahi because some people will argue that he still has chances of appealing the case up to the Supreme Court.

But the case of the Ondo lawmaker that defected from Labour Party to APC is a Supreme Court decided matter hence my reason for citing it.

The game is up for the saboteur APGA lawmakers that defected to APC and the only thing expected of them to do is to honorably vacate their seats or wait to be humiliated with Court removal.

The Supreme Court has set a precedent and they cannot escape humiliation.

Am also using this medium to advise APGA leadership to commence a legal battle for their removal at the Court if they fail to tender their resignation honourably.

The judgement of the Supreme Court stated it clearly that when you win an election on the platform of a political party that the mandate belongs to the party and that when you defect to another party that you are sacrificing your mandate.

So APGA saboteur lawmakers that defected to APC should sacrifice their mandate and avoid humiliation.

It is said that whatever that is worth doing is worth doing well. Chinedu Obigwe concluded.
