This online news platform understands that the opposition party commenced legal actions against Buni on Thursday, August 12th over an alleged breach of constitutional provisions barring a sitting executive from holding two offices at the same time.
According to the suit papers sighted by Newsonline, PDP argued that Govrnor Buni violated section 183 of the constitution due to the fact that as a governor, he accepted to serve as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The plaintiffs which include Umar Damagum and Baba Aji in the suit filed by Emeka Etiaba, SAN, insisted that Buni ceases to be a governor from the moment he accepted to act as APC Caretaker Committee Chairman.
