A NIGERIAN GOVERNOR IS OUT;


Nearly 2 years after elections, a governor of one of the Nigerian states is removed by the judgment of the Court of Appeal. What is the implication of that on Nigeria's democracy and electoral laws? It means in this case that this Governor has been in office unlawfully for two years. What about his actions as a Governor: would they now become illegal? On what legal principles would his past official actions be treated as lawful exercise of the powers of the State? Are the people he hired or the people he promoted now to revert to their previous positions or what? Read the links below and think with me;
