Seven Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have Instituted a suit before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, challenging the six months suspension of the Rivers State governor, Siminalaye Fubara.
The Governors of Bauchi, Adamawa, Bayelsa, Enugu, Osun, Plateau, and Zamfara, are questioning what powers the President has to carry out such action (suspension).
Mentioned as respondents in the suit are President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly.
The seven state governors, who termed the suspension as unconstitutional, through their Attorneys-Generals, urged the Supreme Court to declare that “the President has no powers whatsoever to suspend a democratically elected governor and deputy governor of a state in the Federation of Nigeria under the guise of or pursuant to the proclamation of a state of emergency in any state of the federation.
