Appeal Court judgement bad for Nigerian dem-don-craze
Appeal court judgement is in order you cannot just remove governor on by just defection for another political party the law is very clear how the governor can be removed.PDP are just desperate and unnecessary .morally yes you can not just move to another party.when I made the statement that a appeal court will dismiss this case they were attacking me .a governor can only be removed by tribuna judgement death resignation or impeachment.
