The All Progressives Congress, APC, Ebonyi State chapter has
reacted to the ruling of an Abuja Federal High Court sacking Governor Dave
Umahi from office.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of an Abuja Federal High Court on
Tuesday sacked Governor Umahi and his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe from office over
their unlawful defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Ekwo ordered Umahi and his Deputy to vacate their
offices immediately saying their defection was unlawful, unconstitutional,
null, and void.
Ekwo held that the vote which brought the governor and his Deputy into office belonged to the PDP and that they cannot hold onto the votes having elected to jettison the party that nominated them.
Mr Simbad Chidi, Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive
Congress (APC) in Ebonyi, reacting, described the sack by the court as a
“disturbance to democracy” in the state.
“Today’s ruling in Abuja cannot overrule the State High
Court that upheld his defection to APC already. The ruling is unacceptable,”
Chidi told NAN.
