PDP Governors Kick Against The Unconstitutional Removal Of Gov Dickson As Chairman

……calls on Wike to allow democratic tenets within the party.

A coalition of Civil Society Organisations, Centre for Credible Leadership & Citizens Awareness has kicked against the unconstitutional/ unceremonial appointment of Gov. Aminu Tambuwal as Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum.

The Director General of Centre for Credible Leadership & Citizens Awareness, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel, described the current development in PDP Governors Forum as a rape on modern democracy, the manner Governor Nyesom Wike decided to oust a Governor whose tenure is yet to elapse as Chairman, PDP Governors Forum as a monumental electoral fraud and a rape on modern democracy.

Speaking to pressmen on Tuesday, 28 January, 2020, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel, reitraited that this was a monumental fraud especially while Governor Dickson, whose tenure was still subsisting was ongoing. He stated, that it was barbaric and undemocratic to remove a Governor whose term is still subsisting.

“Again, the beauty of modern democracy is hinged on a vibrant opposition, he said, this decision will further weaken the opposition party and create factions within the party leading to a possible one party state and an eventual totalitarianism.

According to Dr Nwambu, even though they are an independent body, in order to deepen Democratic governance, all stakeholders were supposed to have been contacted before final decision would be taken on the matter, explaining that his interaction with most of the PDP governors have pointed to that direction.

“Secondly, the PDP Governors had stated that while Governor Tambuwal whose tenure as the Deputy Chairman, Nigerian Governors Forum has not elapsed, it becomes an abnormality to appoint Governor Tambuwal as the DG, PDP Governors Forum. This by itself is self contradictory. Tambuwal cannot in a democratic dispensation hold brief of these two positions simultaneously. We hereby advice all lovers of Democracy to advice Governor Wike who has consistently played a bully to desist forthwith from this dastard act and allow democratic tenets within the party, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel said.

By Adewole Kehinde The current Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Adamu Abdu - Kafarati, is due for retirement. He became a Judge of the Federal High Court on 31st October, 1991. Justice Adamu Abdu Kafarati will leave the Bench by July 25, 2019 on attainment of the mandatory statutory retirement age of 65 years. This will predictably pave way for Hon. Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, who was born on 24th June  1959, to emerge as the next Chief Judge. Hon Justice John Terhemba Tsoho is currently the second- in-command in the hierarchy of Federal High Court Judges. Therefore, on the basis of his seniority, he is expected to be made the next Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, within this month.  It is established tradition and policy that appointment into the office of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, is strictly based on order of seniority, (except the most senior person is of questionable conduct), on the ...
