By Correspondent in Abuja.

The Ebony Governor, Mr Dave Umahi, and his Deputy, Dr Kelechi Igwe,have been asked to vacate their offices,by a Federal High Court in Abuja on account of their unlawful defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the court the defection of the governor and his deputy is unlawful, unconstitutional, null and void and ordered them to immediately leave their offices.

In a judgment on Tuesday Justice Inyang Ekwo ordered Umahi and Igwe to immediately stop holding themselves out as Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State.

He held that the votes that brought them to office belonged to the PDP, adding it could not hold on to the votes, having elected to jettison the party that nominated them.

The Judge also held that the votes cast for PDP in the March 9, 2019 governorship election were not transferrable to the APC that failed in the election.
