What the case is about
A suit sought the removal of Governor Ayade and Deputy Governor Ivara Esu from office following their May 2021 defection from the PDP to the APC while in elected office.
Ruling & compliance
Justice Taiwo Taiwo refused to order their removal, holding that a court lacks power to remove a sitting governor over defection, since the constitution allows removal of elective office holders only through death, resignation or impeachment.
