You Dont Have Right To Declare Defected Governors Position Vacant APC Tells PDP

The All Progressives Congress APC has warned the PDP not to go ahead with its plan to declare vacant the seats of the five PDP Governors who recently defected to the APC.

The party said apart from being illegal and smacking of double standard, such a move has the potential to plunge the polity into chaos.

In a statement issued in Abuja by APC’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said that even as the PDP has continued to lick the mortal wound inflicted on it by the loss of five Governors in one fell swoop, any attempt by the PDP to declare the Governors' seats vacant will be met with an unprecedented show of people power that will end, once and for all, the impunity of the PDP and the Presidency.

It also asked the PDP and the Presidency to be guided by the ruling of the Supreme Court after the PDP attempted to make then Vice President Atiku Abubakar to lose his seat and to also strip him of his privileges following his defection to the ACN.
