2022 Court Removal
@User:Markegwu @User:Gene93k It is getting very close to an edit war here. Let us discuss this civilly. lol1VNIO (talk &#8226; contribs) 00:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The real question here is if he should continue to be noted as Governor despite not legally occupying the office anymore. Currently, he is acting as governor even though the court sacked him; the State High Court decision is irrelevant as it is lower than the federal court that sacked him so the question is if his defiance of the court should allow him to keep the label of Governor. I personally think it's pretty pointless as a stay will almost defiantly be granted soon but currently he's not governor anymore. Watercheetah99 (talk) 00:42, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Currently, he is not considered a Governor until the Supreme Court says so — a state court can’t maneuver. So, I believe the acting Governor should come in in the "Defection to APC" section. And a page protection should be requested for the page against new accounts and IP's. update, I’ll be restoring the page to it’s previous content before Maarkegwu’s rampage.

 * currently, he's still the governor of ebonyi state after the state court reaffirmed him. The Nigerian law doesn't state that if a federal court sacks you, that you can't appear at the state court, the only place you can't appeal is when the supreme court sacks you. so, for now Umahi made his appeal and won at the state court, let's wait till the supreme court judgement.

 * Kindly don't be baised on the case, a well known Nigerian lawyer and a SAN also threw his weight"The senior lawyer, however, disagreed with the judgment, in a statement on Tuesday, saying, “The appellate courts have since held again and again that votes cast in an election belong to a live candidate and not the political party which merely serves as a vehicle that enthrones candidates.” http://saharareporters.com/2022/03/08/umahi-governor-deputy-governor-can%E2%80%99t-be-removed-office-changing-political-parties-%E2%80%93, he also further gave another instance Ozekhome cited the position of the Supreme Court in the case of Ozomgbachi v. Amadi & Ors (2018), saying, “...I believe the Supreme Court has laid to rest the contention that it is the political party which contests and wins an election. In C.P.C. v OMBUGADU (2013) 18 NWLR (Pt. 1385), the court was categorical that individuals as candidates win election and not the political parties." a page protection should be requested for the page against fake nes. update i will be requesting to restore the updates made on the page before @User:gene93k's rampage. still wondering why you can't wait to have the supreme court judgement before spreading false news.

 * We are not here to argue the merit of the high court's ruling so the SAN's quote is irrelevant and doesn't matter. Umahi is acting as governor currently but the high court stated that he is no longer governor. The state court simply reaffirmed its previous ruling in favor of Umahi but it didn't (and I don't think it can) overrule the decision of a higher court. Currently Umahi isn't governor until he gets a stay from a court above the high court that sacked him; something that will probably come from a court of appeal soon so there is really no point with this argument.

 * , Nigeria has a judicial branch, the highest court of which is the Supreme Court of Nigeria. So, I don’t really know your claim. We are trying to reach a consensus here. I have given my penny, until a Supreme Court reinstates him, the page should be reversed to the previous version until Markegwu's edit this morning.  I’ll need a ping when a consensus has been met. READING BEANS Talk to the Beans 06:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * i strongly beleive we are all trying to reach a consensus on the matter. On the last ruling by the state high court, he still remains the governor, till supreme court sacks him, else. Remember the case of Hope Uzodinma of Imo state vs Ihedioha, Ihedioha remained the governor till he was sacked by the supreme court not high court, it's an ongoing court case with the supreme court having the final verdict. can we all leave the edit because he's not been sacked by the supreme and replaced with another. Markegwu (talk) 06:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * the present ruling obviously changed the previous ruling and reinstated him, wait till the supreme court sacks him and replaces him with another then you case will be verified but for now he's still the governor. let us be matured here and don't tarnish someones image. kindly please allow my edits to stay, you can make edit when you have firther evidence of him being removed by the supreme and replaced with another. regards Markegwu (talk) 06:53, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The dispute about governorship is a demonstrable and relevant fact. Stating that fact does not tarnish the subject. For now, the subject is still governor, but removing the challenge to that situation is whitewashing. • Gene93k (talk) 08:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
