The national opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dragged Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State to court to seek his removal from office. 
In a suit dated August 12, the opposition party submitted that Mai Mala Buni violated Section 183 of the Constitution when he agreed to serve as the chairman of the caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite being the governor of a state.
The PDP argued that Buni ceased to be a governor from the moment he accepted to serve the ruling party’s caretaker committee’s chairman.
