Speaking on the development while addressing journalists on Wednesday, Ngige said he was not aware of the guidelines, but added that his resignation will be in line with the 1999 constitution which provides for public office holders interested in elective offices to resign 30 days before polls.“I don’t know about that. I’m hearing for the first time from you. But like I always say, I’ll be guided by the letters and spirit of the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
“And for now, no matter how bad the judgment is, that’s the maximum jurisprudence. No matter how bad the law is, it is a judgment of court; it should be obeyed, until upturned or stayed.“But there is no stay; there’s no atonement of that particular pronouncement, and the party is on appeal. So, the judgment is still subsisting. That aspect of the law was injurious to some persons and should not have been there.
