An Abuja Federal High Court judge has granted a late-night  ex-parte order aimed at compelling the  Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) chair Prof Attahiru Jega to include the name of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Henry Seriake Dickson  as candidate in the upcoming governorship election.

Justice Olootu of the Federal High Court in Abuja gave the unusual order in chambers protected by soldiers and policemen deployed by the presidency.

The petition was heard and concluded in less than 15 minutes tonight between 9: 00 -9:15 PM. Mr. Dickson had secretly approached the court over his  exclusion   from the list of those who will contest the governorship poll next month in Bayelsa state.

All hail jonathan the man that use our collective wealth in bribing govt officials

Na wa for Nigerian Judiciary or JudiBRIBERY

The judge and the guns Home video.

maradonic PDP

A show of shame and a plutocracy form of radical government. Is this a good example laid down to the coming young ones? I thought some one says the only reason the man is weak is that he takes alot of mary caine in the morning and always feel tired to perform anywork or think wisely during the day.

This Jona guy is following the footsteps of Abacha.

Is Jonathan the court that granted the ex parte motion?

Another Jankara ex-parte order, nothing spoil. Barrister Dele Aturu is vindicated. Shior na today? Anyways we are waiting for the mother of all cabals at Bayelsa's governorship election

This is what they do when it is matter relating to the rich and high class persons in Nigeria. They manipulate process to favour themselves, but this same process is devoid for the lowly and less privilege. Life is really unfair.

There sufferings continues if leaders are forced on them. they will enjoyed the same govrnment that was given to them by jonatin when he was "govornor"

Nothing is new anymore. No be the same PDP men that went to obtain a black market court order to stop Labour strike some days ago? Demon-Craze!

Although I have not seen the Court process, I smell "FISHY" BUSINESS at that hour. GOD deliver my dear Country.

Bring up your proof or shut up forever.

This is why i laugh at people saying judiciary is the last hope of the common man. How  many common man can even afford a lawyer to start with. And the fact that people fail to realise that when we say govt is filled with corrupt officials the judiciary are not excluded. Just imagine the scenero above. If i am a common man how do u expect me to trust such a judge if he is presiding over my case.

I don't want to believe this until i get my punch newspaper today, but if there is anything like this then GEJ is worse than Abacha.

You have no brain. Is GEJ the judge?

^^^ Another meaningless conclusion - what has GEJ got to do with the judgement of the court? He seems GEJ is the Judge from the way you guys are blaming GEJ for everything.

I think GEJ should also reinforce the EFCC with police and soldiers to arrest the oil cabals and corrupt officials for prosecution. This way, he will gain the confidence of the populace.

People ! Think outside the box. There is PDP, ACN, CPC's candidate. When did Jonathan become a political party

.

I just want to believe you are not a Nigerian, but if you are, then I will conclude you are corrupt for asking whether GEJ is the judge or are you employed to defend his interest on this platform

na wa o, so judge no de close work for the day for 9ja? with all said, all registered parties should be allowed their candidates and leave the rest to the people.

you are funny shaaa, why late last night? and why was the Court guided by soldiers and other security forces deployed by the President, or don't you know its only a Dictator that can facilitate such hasty Judgement, Jonathan is dragging us back to 13 years ago,

Jonathan don kill us oh!!!

GEJ is the new king of the cabal (Nigerian mafia)

GEJ again! Dis guy don go ga-ga o. . You guys better watch the way you talk about him on naiaraland o, he is soon gona have to send secret agents to start arresting nairalanders o. . Seun na nunber 1

That is Nigerian Judiciary for you

i talk am!

From most of the comments so far, i can clearly conclude that most of us are so ignorant and arrogant and would believe anything so long as what is said is against a perceived enemy. Whenever it suits us, we accept sahara reporters as benchmark for truth but when it does not, we call them junk. what is most suprising are those that are suppose to be learned, leading people astray instead of educating us. You can hate GEJ all you want, but to me, so far, he has been a leader. Leadership is not a popularity contest but the ability to take decisions for the greater good. People may not see it now due to their selfish interest but posterity will judge us all.
