Tribunal Sacks Lagos LP Rep Sowunmi, Declares APC’s Ogunyemi Winner

The tribunal agreed with the petitioner that the candidate of the Labour Party was not qualified to contest the elections.



The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Lagos has nullified the return of the Labour Party (LP) ’s candidate, Seyi Sowunmi as the House of Representatives member for Ojo Federal Constituency in Lagos State.

Instead, the three-man panel led by Justice Abdullahi Ozegya declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lanre Ogunyemi, as the duly elected candidate of the election conducted on February 25, 2023.

The other members of the panel are Justice Ashu Ewah and Justice Muhammad Sambo.

Ogunyemi, a two-term state lawmaker and former secretary of the APC in Lagos, had challenged the declaration of Sowunmi by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the winner of the election on the grounds that the respondent was not duly sponsored and qualified to contest the elections under the candidacy of Labour Party for Ojo Federal Constituency.

In its judgment on the petition, the tribunal agreed with the petitioner that the candidate of the Labour Party was not qualified to contest the elections.

It, therefore, declared his votes wasted and held that the second runner up, APC’s Ogunyemi, ought to have been declared winner of Ojo Federal Constituency.

No doubt. Like the nearby Amuwo Odofin, Ojo was an LP stronghold in Lagos. But then, they're saying he was not qualified to contest.

If he could prove that he was, he clearly won.

Besides, if it's about his candidacy, is the tribunal not subject to the Supreme Court? There is an existing judgement (stare decisis in this case) that validates whomever a party decides to allow participate in the primaries (no locus standi for other parties to contest such). Here is what the supreme court said to this effect:

Might just be another fake news.

But if it’s not, then it will be quashed at the Appeal Court.

That someone’s name is not on the party register is not grounds for disqualification.

Akanudofia who was the APC governorship candidate in the last election in Akwa Ibom was a member of the PDP until the night of the APC primaries when he defected and won the APC primaries.

At what time did his name appear in APC register? But yet the Supreme Court validated his candidacy.

So, all these kangaroo judgments will never stand.

A party of ticket hunters all ending up with zero.

All eyes on the Judiciary.

I expect nothing but zero for Peter Obi's 6m votes.

No illegality would be allowed to tarnish the political process.

Peter Obi is a stain on the political process.

Kwankwaso actually finished 3rd in the election. Peter Obi and Labour Party had 0 votes.

Peter Obi's case would end up being like the parable in the bible.

Matthew 13: 12

For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him

That is what happens when a desperate political prostitute prays to God who then answers his prayers, but the desperate politician insist that inspite of God already answering his prayers, that he must be President of Nigeria now or later.

Obi and Atiku would not stop until they have been disgraced like the tortoise.

Same thing will happen to the majority of LP candidates including Peter Obi and GRV. They Joined the party through backdoor.

Jandor yesterday on twitter space said this was the reason he refused to step down for GRV in Lagos. He knew GRV's votes would be wasted.

Upon #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary psychological blackmail by some people. wink

Majority people that question the judgements of the Nigerian courts, especially at Appeal and Supreme courts, don't even read the judgements to understand the rationale behind those judgements. As corrupt as many of you claim the judiciary is, courts pass judgements base on evidences. You should wonder why Atiku had to sue CSU to release BAT's academic records. He is trying to prove his case beyond all reasonable doubts. #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary people should get this into your ignorant skulls: If you provide incontrovertible evidences in court, it would be extremely difficult for a "corrupt" judge to miscarry justice in your case.

This is a very wicked fact that they do not want to accept.

But we know they are not lovers of democracy.

They have eyes on judiciary in Nigeria but support an illegitimate military government in Niger Republic that sacked a legitimate democratic government.

They are a desperate and terrorising mob who even vowed to hide the voters card of their own parents if they planned voting any other party.

Same reason why Labour's Okolie was replaced with PDP's Elumelu back in July. Greed drove them to Labour party. They bribed Abure and stole the tickets from the rightful owners (the real labour party members before Peter Obi came on board). All are going to be wasted votes.

This is what will happen in almost all places where labour party won. Majority of them are usurpers and the courts would kick them all out.

No wonder Alex Otti has been openly romancing the APC which is his first love.

Otti got into LP before Obi. When Otti's election is upheld and Obi's petition dismissed, Obidients will take out their frustration on Otti.
