We should try to read,comprehend and has grasp of issue before commenting and avoid this sensationalism. The order is a subset of the supreme court ruling that still need clarification from SC hence the order pending final determination or clarification on the apex court.

Nigerian High Court judge, Gabriel Kolawole, has granted a bizarre court injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives as well as two plaintiffs in a case already decided by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The problem is that the supreme court declared the Oguebego Executive as the authentic executive but did not say anything on the election of the people tendered by the fake executive who contested and won the elections. People have only been reading their own implications into the judgment.

Inec CANNOT withdraw the certificate given to oduah and co without an express court order directing them to do so.

The Oguebego case was a pre-election matter dealing with in-house primaries. It had nothing to do with the election itself that brought in Stella oduah and co which can only be heard by an election tribunal.

The Suit filed by Awomolo and Co is for the supreme court to direct on which way to proceed. It would bring a final end to all the confusion we have currently. Justice kolawole's order is for INEC to wait until the supreme court gives a judgment one way or another in the current suit.

People will just berate the judge without understanding the issues. Justice kolawole is not a rookie judge not to have considered all the ramificatons of granting the injunction. And finally, he definitely didn't overrule the supreme court. The person who wrote the title is just being mischievous.

I'm confused on this issue..



Lalasticlala, obinoscopy
There is no confusion on the issue except that being created by mischievous persons. There was no order by the Supreme Court sacking Senators Ubah, Odua & Okonkwo. I have written extensively on this point in the past and need not repeat the whole argument again; anyone interested can just follow my posts. The highlight of the FACTS OF THE MATTER are as follows: what the SC decided was simply which individuals are the authentic State Executive Committee (Exco) of PDP in Anambra State. Anyone who has a little idea of how primaries are conducted in ALL parties including APC, PDP, APGA, etc will tell you that State Excos DO NOT CONDUCT PRIMARIES. Primaries are conducted by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of a party who sends two panels: one panel to conduct the primaries and another one to hear appeals from aggrieved parties with further appeal lying to the NEC. Furthermore, it is the NEC of a party that submits the names of candidates who duly emerged at the primaries and who will fly the flag of the party to INEC. The necessary documents are signed by the National Chairman & Secretary and no one in the State Exco has any role in this. This is the case even if the primaries is for State House of Assembly, Reps, Senate, Governor, etc. Since the State Exco has no role in the conduct of primaries or submission of the names of a party's candidates to INEC, a decision as to which persons are the lawful State Exco of the party at any given time cannot affect these three Senators. Also, the Supreme Court never nullified the primaries from which these three Senators emerged; they also did not validate the primaries from which their opponents purportedly emerged. If the SC did not nullify the primaries that threw up Oduah & co which was monitored and accepted by INEC, on what basis is their candidature faulty? Is there anywhere in that entire Sup. Court judgment where the names of Odua, Ubah & Okonkwo were mentioned? Is there anywhere in the said judgment where the names of the other three persons challenging them were mentioned? Were any of the six persons parties to the suit at the Supreme Court? Is it not TRITE & ELEMENTARY LAW that no Court will make an order against a person who is not a party before it? Is it equally not the law that a Court will not make an order in favor of a person not before it and in respect of a prayer not sought before it? Did the SC direct INEC to withdraw the Certificates of return of the incumbent Senators? Did the SC direct INEC to issue Certificates of Return to the other three? Finally, these three JESTERS who ask to be sworn into the Senate to replace Odua & Co. are apparently unaware of the clear & extant provisions of S. 141 of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended); it states that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any Court declare as a winner of an election, any person who did not participate at all stages of the election. The question to ask is whether these three JESTERS participated in the General election. Was any Nomination Form submitted by the NEC of PDP to INEC on their behalf? Were their names on the ballot when votes were cast in their constituencies on the date of elections? Were they candidates at the General elections. Every day on Nairaland, you see IGNORANT IDIOTS & NINCOMPOOPS insulting Judges & the Judiciary at the drop of a hat. This is becoming a favorite National pastime. Useless half-baked lawyers who have no practice now turn Nairaland into their Court room to exhibit their ignorance. Only a BIG FOOL will describe the Hon. Justice Gabriel Kolawole, a former accomplished law teacher before joining the bench & one of our most incorruptible & brilliant minds on the Bench in such insulting language as has been used in this thread.

One thing you should know as a layman is that owing to the doctrine of Judicial precedent and hierarchy of courts in Nigeria and by virtue of S.230 and 235 of the constitution, the supreme is the apex and final court in Nigeria,and there decision is final. Therefore it is illogical to say that a Federal High Court overrule a decision of the supreme court, even the dumbest judge would never do that. I think Sahara reporters mixed things up.

Total rubish, brown envelop, interpretation. Andy Uba, Odua, and co has been SACKED by Supreme Court. Period. But for corruption of inec consortium lawyers, insiders alleged to have received 5 million dollars bribe, inec would have issued the Oguebego list members their Certificae of Returns, which has been prepared already. Here are the facts as reported by the Premium Times:

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/features-and-interviews/197674-download-supreme-court-judgment-anambra-pdp-sacked-andy-uba-others.html

Supreme Court Judgment on Anambra PDP that sacked Andy Uba, others:

Read synopsis of judgment and download all relevant documents below.
In its judgment on Friday, the Supreme Court set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, delivered on February 6, 2015 and restored the order/judgement of Justice E.S. Chukwu of Federal High Court.
It resolved the five issues in favour of the appellants and held that there is merit in the appeal.
The judgement of E.S. Chukwu Justice delivered on December 5, 2014 ruled:
1. — That it is hereby ordered that the purported caretaker committee/ ad hoc committee is illegal, null and void.
2. — That any delegate list or nominated candidate that emanated from the congress/ primaries conducted by the caretaker committee or ad hoc committee is illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, abuse of court process, null and void and cannot be used for any purpose.
3. — That 1st defendant (PDP) are hereby restrained from forwarding, sending or submitting to 2nd defendant (INEC) any delegates list or nominated candidates that emerge from congress or primaries conducted by the caretaker or ad hoc committee.
4. — That 2nd defendant (INEC) is restrained from accepting or receiving any delegate list or nominated candidate that may emerge from congress/primaries conducted by the caretaker committee except those that emanate from the plaintiffs.
5. — That PDP was in flagrant disobedience and contempt of the order of this court made on 10th day of October 2014 and reaffirmed on the 24th of October 2014.
Based on this order of Justice Chukwu, the only valid primaries held in Anambra on 6th & 7th December 2014 was monitored by INEC and issued the only report on the primaries of PDP in Anambra.
The names of the successful candidates of PDP was subsequently uploaded by INEC and tagged “COURT ORDER” at the close of nomination.
The respondents (then appellants) appealed to the Court of Appeal Abuja division challenging the judgement of the Federal High Court.
On February, 6, 2015 the Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court judgement.
Based on the Court of Appeal judgment, INEC went removed the list of candidates already uploaded and replaced it with the list containing Andy Uba, Stella Oduah, and others.
Note that there was no order for this in both the Court of Appeal judgement or from any court in this land. It was a unilateral action by INEC.
The appellants (then respondents) approached the Supreme Court which on Friday set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. SC 37/2015.
Note:
1. No order was made to remove the names earlier uploaded.
2. The Court of Appeal did not issue any consequential order yet the names were removed.
3. The only reason for the removal according to INEC was that Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court Order.
4. On Friday, the Supreme Court has set aside the Court of Appeal Order, so lawyers to the appellants are asking that the names should be restored and certificate of Return issued to winners.

Based on this order of Justice Chukwu, the only valid primaries held in Anambra on 6th & 7th December 2014 was monitored by INEC and issued the only report on the primaries of PDP in Anambra.
The names of the successful candidates of PDP [Oguebego list] was subsequently uploaded by INEC and tagged “COURT ORDER” at the close of nomination.

The respondents (then appellants) [Andy Uba, Odua & Co] appealed to the Court of Appeal Abuja division challenging the judgement of the Federal High Court.
On February, 6, 2015 the Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court judgement.
Based on the Court of Appeal judgment, INEC went removed the list of candidates already uploaded and replaced it with the list containing Andy Uba, Stella Oduah, and others. Note that there was no order for this in both the Court of Appeal judgement or from any court in this land. It was a unilateral action by INEC.

The appellants [Oguebego Group of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka & others] (then respondents) approached the Supreme Court which on Friday set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. SC 37/2015.
Note:
1. No order was made to remove the names [of Oguebego list] earlier uploaded.
2. The Court of Appeal did not issue any consequential order yet the names [of Oguebego list] were removed.
3. The only reason for the removal according to INEC was that Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court Order.
4. On Friday, the Supreme Court has set aside the Court of Appeal Order, so lawyers to the appellants [Oguebego Group] are asking that the names should be restored and certificate of Return issued to winners.

Bottomline, despite the brown envelop, judge Kolawale useless "interim injunction" pending supreme Ct "interpretation" or "Re-interpretation of its clear judgement in favor of Oguebego, nominated list [Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka, etc], in about 2 weeks from now the supreme will reiterate its judgement in favor of Oguebego list and Andy Uba, Odua & Cos' Cert. of Returns, will be withdrawn and new Certificae of Returns, already prepared by INEC will be issued to Oguebego list of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka and all the House of Rep members on his list. Case Closed.

SR contradicted themselves in this lopsided report. It is obvious that the Supreme Court judgment is not clear, especially if you consider the grounds raised by Oduah and co. They embattled lawmakers have done the needful by approaching the Supreme Court for interpretation of the judgment. It is thus imperative and conductive that INEC and other relevant parties stay action, pending the interpretation by the apex court.

SR should stop these confusions in their reports.

In its judgment on Friday, the Supreme Court set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, delivered on February 6, 2015 and restored the order/judgement of Justice E.S. Chukwu of Federal High Court.
It resolved the five issues in favour of the appellants and held that there is merit in the appeal.
The judgement of E.S. Chukwu Justice delivered on December 5, 2014 ruled:
1. — That it is hereby ordered that the purported caretaker committee/ ad hoc committee is illegal, null and void.
2. — That any delegate list or nominated candidate that emanated from the congress/ primaries conducted by the caretaker committee or ad hoc committee is illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, abuse of court process, null and void and cannot be used for any purpose.
3. — That 1st defendant (PDP) are hereby restrained from forwarding, sending or submitting to 2nd defendant (INEC) any delegates list or nominated candidates that emerge from congress or primaries conducted by the caretaker or ad hoc committee.
4. — That 2nd defendant (INEC) is restrained from accepting or receiving any delegate list or nominated candidate that may emerge from congress/primaries conducted by the caretaker committee except those that emanate from the plaintiffs.
5. — That PDP was in flagrant disobedience and contempt of the order of this court made on 10th day of October 2014 and reaffirmed on the 24th of October 2014.

Based on this order of Justice Chukwu, the only valid primaries held in Anambra on 6th & 7th December 2014 was monitored by INEC and issued the only report on the primaries of PDP in Anambra.
The names of the successful candidates of PDP [Oguebego list] was subsequently uploaded by INEC and tagged “COURT ORDER” at the close of nomination.

The respondents (then appellants) [Andy Uba, Odua & Co] appealed to the Court of Appeal Abuja division challenging the judgement of the Federal High Court.
On February, 6, 2015 the Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court judgement.
Based on the Court of Appeal judgment, INEC went removed the list of candidates already uploaded and replaced it with the list containing Andy Uba, Stella Oduah, and others.

Note that there was no order for this in both the Court of Appeal judgement or from any court in this land. It was a unilateral action by INEC.
The appellants [Oguebego Group of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka & others] (then respondents) approached the Supreme Court which on Friday set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. SC 37/2015.
Note:
1. No order was made to remove the names [of Oguebego list] earlier uploaded.
2. The Court of Appeal did not issue any consequential order yet the names [of Oguebego list] were removed.
3. The only reason for the removal according to INEC was that Court of Appeal set aside the Federal High Court Order.
4. On Friday, the Supreme Court has set aside the Court of Appeal Order, so lawyers to the appellants [Oguebego Group] are asking that the names should be restored and certificate of Return issued to winners.

Bottomline, despite the brown envelop, judge Kolawale useless "interim injunction" pending supreme Ct "interpretation" or "Re-interpretation of its clear judgement in favor of Oguebego, nominated list [Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka, etc], in about 2 weeks from now the supreme will reiterate its judgement in favor of Oguebego list and Andy Uba, Odua & Cos' Cert. of Returns, will be withdrawn and new Certificae of Returns, already prepared by INEC will be issued to Oguebego list of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka and all the House of Rep members on his list. Case Closed.

Why the desperation if they are confident that the Supreme Court will interpret the judgment in their favour, in two weeks? There is nothing wrong in a citizen seeking interpretation of a judgment; except you can quote a section of any of the laws of the country flouted by such action.

The problem is that the supreme court declared the Oguebego Executive as the authentic executive but did not say anything on the election of the people tendered by the fake executive who contested and won the elections. People have only been reading their own implications into the judgment.

Inec CANNOT withdraw the certificate given to oduah and co without an express court order directing them to do so.

The Oguebego case was a pre-election matter dealing with in-house primaries. It had nothing to do with the election itself that brought in Stella oduah and co which can only be heard by an election tribunal.

The Suit filed by Awomolo and Co is for the supreme court to direct on which way to proceed. It would bring a final end to all the confusion we have currently. Justice kolawole's order is for INEC to wait until the supreme court gives a judgment one way or another in the current suit.

People will just berate the judge without understanding the issues. Justice kolawole is not a rookie judge not to have considered all the ramificatons of granting the injunction. And finally, he definitely didn't overrule the supreme court. The person who wrote the title is just being mischievous.




If I have a full grasp of the application(s) on which Justice Kolawole ruled on, then I might be able to disect the issue at hand properly. On the other hand, let me inform you that when the supreme court is ceased of a matter, it definitely means all other courts should not meddle with it. The application for interim injunction should have been filed at the supreme court and as well, ruled upon by the supreme court.

Another issue is this: if d S.C says the platform thru which Odua and co. were elected and presented for the main election must crumble, it definitely means all other things on that platform must crumble with it.there are no two ways about it. The law is clear; "u cannot build something on nothing and expect it to stand"

SR contradicted themselves in this lopsided report. It is obvious that the Supreme Court judgment is not clear, especially if you consider the grounds raised by Oduah and co. They embattled lawmakers have done the needful by approaching the Supreme Court for interpretation of the judgment. It is thus imperative and conductive that INEC and other relevant parties stay action, pending the interpretation by the apex court.

SR should stop these confusions in their reports.

SR is right on point. Read my earlier post. The Sup. Court judgement is very clear and that is: that ONLY Oguebego list of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka, and other HOR members on his list is the VALIDLY nominated candidates in the election, as held by Justice Chukwu of the Federal High Court and now affirmed by the the last Court in the land , the Supreme Court. So there is no need for brown envelop judge, Kolawale, to grant the interim injuction pending Supreme Court Re-interpretation of a judgement that Kolawale knows is Final in favor of Oguebego nominated list.
