Lawyers who are members of All Progressives Congress (APC) have asked the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Lawyers who are members of All Progressives Congress (APC) have asked the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to heed the pronouncement of the Supreme Court on the Ondo State gubernatorial election which questioned its legality.
Lawyers who are members of All Progressives Congress have asked the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to heed the pronouncement of the Supreme Court on the Ondo State gubernatorial election which questioned its legality.
They insisted that the contrary position of the party’s legal adviser, Mamman Tahir, would put the party in danger. On the heels of the apex court judgement which upheld the election of Rotimi Akeredolu as Ondo State governor, minister of state for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo , had warned the party against ignoring the apex court’s minority verdict which questioned the legality or otherwise of the Buni committee to conduct congresses and nominate candidates.
But the issue took another dimension yesterday when concerned lawyers within the APC said the APC may have escaped narrowly at the Supreme Court but should not continue on the part of illegality. In a statement they issued which was signed by Joke Murgan, the concerned APC lawyers said, “We have read with consternation and embarrassment the mere personal opinion regarding the judgment of the Supreme Court circulated by the legal adviser to the party as an authentic news item – because he is trying so hard to please his masters and save his job, thereby putting the entire party in danger.“For the sake of clarity, the Supreme Court did not affirm Buni’s headship of CECPC as lawful.
