In the suit dated and filed August 12, the PDP submitted that
Buni violated Section 183 of the Constitution, when he accepted to
serve as chairman of the caretaker committee of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), despite holding the position of an
executive governor.
The plaintiffs include Umar Damagum, PDP’s Yobe governorship
candidate in the 2019 election, and Baba Aji.
In the suit filed by Emeka Etiaba, their lawyer, PDP insisted
that Buni ceased to be a governor from the moment he accepted to
act as the caretaker committee chairman of the APC.
They, therefore, prayed the court for an order directing the
Yobe chief judge or any other senior person next to the chief judge
to immediately swear in Damagum and Aji as governor and deputy
governor of the state, having emerged second in the 2019
governorship election in Yobe state.
