roubles for defecting Governors. PDP is to commence legal moves to declare seats of any of its governors who defected to APC vacant. Leaders of the party, who had monitored the body language of the aggrieved governors, were said to have recommended to the presidency to give its nod to the move to seek legal redress against any of the governors who defected to the APC. The legal tango would, according to sources, be based on the constitutional provisions which forbade anyone elected on the platform of a party from defecting to another, except there is division in the party that originally elected him. Leaders of the PDP were said to have examined Section 68(Ig) of the 1999 Constitution and discovered that the law was not in favor of defection. It was gathered that a team of lawyers was already working on the legal technicalities, to ensure any governor who defected had his seat declared vacant.
