The People’s Democratic Party ( PDP), has commenced legal action to impeach the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Buni, from office over alleged breach of constitutional provisions barring a sitting Executive from holding two offices at the same time.
According to the suit which
was filed by Emeka Etiaba, SAN, and dated August 12, 2021, the PDP is specifically alleging that the Yobe State Governor violated section 183 of the constitution when he agreed to serve as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), even as a serving Governor.
It was learnt that the plaintiffs
in the suit, Umar Damagum and Baba Aji, insisted that the Yobe State Governor, Buni, the minute he accepted the role of APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, should have resigned his role as Governor.
