Who is going to be Sack by the Supreme Court in the 2023 Election Cycle?
Between 1999 when the Fourth Republic birthed and 2019, not less than eight sitting governors whose elections were challenged to the Supreme Court were removed from office by the apex bench.
The Supreme court, in 2006, removed from office Dr Chris Ngige who was declared as the winner of the 2003 gubernatorial election in Anambra State when Ngige had almost completed his four-year tenure and replaced him with Mr Peter Obi of APGA. Peter Obi was eventually sworn in on March 17, 2006.
It had also towards the end of October 2007 sacked Chief Celestine Omehia who was sworn into office on May 29, 2007 as Rivers State Governor and ordered the immediate past Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, to be sworn-in as replacement having been found to be the authentic candidate of the PDP which was returned as winner of the April 2007 election in the state.
Omehia had ruled Rivers for five months before the Supreme Court sacked him and declared Amaechi as the validly elected governor of the state.
Other sitting governors who had, in the past, lost their seats to their rivals by virtue of the decision of the Supreme Court included Andy Uba of Anambra State who was sacked for Peter Obi.
Prof Oserheimen Osunbor of Edo State who was sacked for Adams Oshiomhole.
Olusegun Oni of Ekiti State who was sacked for Kayode Fayemi.
Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State who was sacked for Rauf Aregbesola.
Mukhtar Idris of Zamfara State who was sacked for Bello Matawalle.
Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State who was sacked for Hope Uzodinma.
David Lyon of Bayelsa State who was sacked for Douye Diri.
