Rexology:It was also stated in the judgement of Ameachi vs Omehia that election victory is for the political party and not the individual, that's why Ameachi became governor without contesting the governorship election. The victory belonged to the PDP and not Omehia then. In this case to, it will amount to injustice to take an APC victory and hand it over to the PDP who contested and lost... Whoever wins the court case between Jime and Ortom will become governor. PDP has no case here. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Caseless:Baba the tin bad gan make I no lie. It's even better Gime dropped his case otherwise there was no way Ortom could have survived Gime's case. And at the same time it would have been better had Gime emerged because he's been in the party for so long right from the days of ACN. His name was substituted with Ortom's who decamped to APC just a couple of days after he contested and lost primary under PDP!!! What manner of injustice is that?? Should Tarzor succeed, Benue is done for and the crook Suswam would be in an even bigger trouble (only good aspect of it). Make dem do pay their workers jor. This 5 months and counting. |

kokoA: It's the same thing. they are disqualifying APC [the party. not the candidate.] for not following the electoral Law. It should have been an APC victory if APC had done the subtituting in a clean primaries. But in this case APC did a FAKE primaries. Consequently, both the winners and losers of the primaries are void! because the APC primary process for that "position" was "null & void". I hope this helps. |

kokoA:that case amaechi vs omehia is centered on replaced identity.this case is about a party not having a legible representation at the polls meaning they never appeared at the election with a legible candidate at the polls.it literarirly leaves only the PDP candidate as the contestant at the polls. 1 Like |

4lashyme:I'd like to know if it is the duty of the court or INEC to determine if a party has a valid candidate or not From my understanding, I may be wrong though, provided INEC has accepted a particular candidate from a party, I think by law that party has the right to stand for that election.. It means the party has a valid candidate according to the law of the land, though in this case we don't know if that valid candidate was Ortom or Jime.. |
Re: Panic In APC Over Benue Governorship Seat by NewsHub: 3:37pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
Funny!!! PDP/Tarzor has no case. The only way they can have a case is if the APC legal team fails to do their job, and that is unlikely. Lets understand somethings: For those citing the case of Amaechi and Omehia in Rivers state, remember the final judgement. The court ruled that victory in a general election belongs to a political party and not the candidate. This case is similar to a case i was very involved in after the 2011 elections. The case was between Comrade Dan Onjeh of the then ACN and Hassan Saleh of the PDP. Dan Onjeh took Hassan Saleh and the PDP to court challenging the victory of Saleh who replaced the actual winner of the PDP primaries, Chris Abah popularly known as Mad lion in Benue. Dan Onjeh told the court that since Hassan Saleh was not the candidate that emerged as winner of the PDP primaries, he (Saleh) should be disqualified and Dan Onjeh having come second be declared winner of the house of Reps election. Both parties presented their arguments and counter arguments with the legal team of the PDP hammering on two points: 1. The matter is an intra-party affair that does not concern Dan Onjeh and the ACN, only a member of the PDP has the right to challenge its primaries. 2. The matter is a pre-election matter hence the Tribunal lacks the jurisdiction to hear the case. The Tribunal is to handle post election matters. At the end of the day Dan Onjeh and the ACN lost the case with Hon. Hassan Saleh maintaining his position as member representing Okpokwu/Ogbadigbo federal constituency of Benue state. Terhemen Tarzor and the PDP in Benue should go and sleep. They have no case! After the mess the former governor, Suswam put the state in, it's funny and annoying that PDP thought they could win Benue. Fact: Samuel Ortom or any APC candidate will remain the Governor of Benue state. 1 Like |

kokoA:Law is not what you think, rather is how it is. You cannot build something out of nothing, do not be sentimental because there is no sentiment with the law. In the case of Amaechi vs Omehia, Amaechi participated in the primary, and was unjustly subtituted with Omehia by PDP, therefore, PDP was qualified to stood for the election, having conducted the primary as provided in the Electoral act. In this case, APC did not conduct any PRIMARY as pre-requisite to stand for the election,therefore, in the eyes of the law, as provided in the electoral act, APC was never qualified to stood for the election, having failed to conduct a primary election. Do you now see the difference? Please don't be emotional about this, am neither an APC nor a PDP supporter. I said things objectively and in consonance with the provisions of the law.Thank you! 1 Like |

omenka:I don't like the fact that Time was asked to step down for Ortom having lost the primaries from pdp. It shows we don't value our own. Samething happened in the case of Gamade(though he has impressed with his anti-saraki and pdp campaign in the nass despite being a member of pdp in the past). Akume should allow Orton to make appointments that will accommodate those that sacrificed their ambition for Ortom. I pray Tarzor don't get through with his case. |
Re: Panic In APC Over Benue Governorship Seat by 4lashyme: 5:41pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
kokoA: Your line of thought is good. but it does not apply to this case. INEC does not have the power to reject any candidate put forward by a party. It's only the court that can reject a candidate and even a party from an election. that is why the Tribunals and the courts are there. Now the courts look at the election laws to see if the Party and/or the candidate erred in any provisions of the law as bases for judgement. You can have a good candidate, but if by "misjugdement", your party's primaries is not within the provisions of the law, your party will be disqualified - also meaning that u are disqualified. it's painful but true. |

NewsHub:Did APC conduct governorship primary in Benue State? The Tribunal has the jurisdiction to entertain the case on the arguement that,"APC did not stand for the election and was wrongfully declared the winner"having failed to conduct PRIMARY election as required by the electoral act. |
Re: Panic In APC Over Benue Governorship Seat by TheAdvocate(m): 5:51pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
ZeezaRapture: The Electoral Act which is the extant law on elections in Nigeria provides that even if a candidate is unopposed, he must be subjected to a primaries for affirmation. If yu will allow ur mind to recall, yu will remember that GEJ went thru that process. |

IbokUtoroh:I am not carrying somebody's state on my head...you say i am not from Benue with all certainty. Chairman i am from Benue and i know enough about Benue politics because i have been involved in it. Yes Ortom was in PDP but right now he is in APC just like Senator Akume. The Benue of before, even in the times of Akume as governor is not the Benue of today...Suswam succeded in taking the state 10 years back in his 8 years as governor. |
Re: Panic In APC Over Benue Governorship Seat by NewsHub: 11:23pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
Rexology:It is still a pre-election and intra-party matter. You should also know that the party's constitution allows for waiver and consensus candidature. Like i said earlier the only way the PDP has a case is if the APC legal team fails to argue their case well. |
Re: Panic In APC Over Benue Governorship Seat by BEASTER(m): 12:15am On Jun 29, 2015 |
Mr Samuel Ortom is the sole candidature of Benue Apc, the party did her primaries by nominating him unopposed just the way PDP did for their Presidential candidate and no amount of court case will unseat Mr Ortom because he is the sole candidate of Benue people. |
