Bros just admit defeat.You have lost take heary dear.Your defeat will be complete when the appeal court issues the stay of execution order tommorow Which defeat...... I laugh Just as I replied you yst on this same issue let me repeat my self again while you wait for tomorrow to do the magic for you. No court will deprive a judgment creditor the fruits of his Labour.Meaning that if Ikpeazu thinks he will get a stay on monday as temporary relief then he should think again. Like T.S Ogundaini. ESQ said Normally, no court will want to grant a stay of execution as a matter of course and that is why an applicant seeking this discretion of the court in his favour must therefore show special or exceptional circumstances why the court must deprive a successful litigant, the fruits of his success---See the following cases SPDC v. Arlio-Joe (Nig.) Ltd. (2003) 1 NWLR pt 845 pg 19, Dada v. I.T.L (2005) 11 NWLR pt.936 pg 293 Secondly, A successful litigant (Ogah) is entitled to enjoy the benefits and reap the fruits of his judgment and nothing ordinarily should be done to obstruct this right. In the words of Niki Tobi , JCA (as he then was) in Lijadu v. Lijadu (1991) 1 NWLR (Pt. 169) 627 at 644, nothing should be done to make the victorious party leave the court in "victory" without victory.This case is very bad it doesn't look good at all. If not the Governor would have involved the man who defended him at the tribunal ie Chief Wole Olanikpekun. See, A lot of legal blunders were committed on the Governor's part. Its only the grace of God that can save Ikpeazu now cos Grace can undo what the power of law cannot. https://www.nairaland.com/3201625/falana-agbakoba-ikpeazu-no-longer/6#47158097 1 Like

*Says FG did not instruct INEC to issue Certificate of Return to Ogah
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has distanced himself from the legal crisis rocking Abia State, saying that he is yet to issue any legal opinion on the matter.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Salihu Isah, the AGF said that none of the parties had sought his opinion on the tussle.
The minister said that neither him nor the Federal Government instructed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to Dr Udechukwu Ogah.
However, the minister advised all the parties to await the decision of courts. He however did not say which courts decision. Nevertheless, since an appeal is pending on the judgment of the Federal High Court which removed Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, it is reasonable to conclude that the AGF would want the parties to await the decisions of the appellate court.
The statement reads: “The attention of the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has been drawn to the insinuations and crass lies being peddled and disseminated by a cross-section of Nigerians and the various media platforms that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation is behind the legal logjam over the Abia state governorship seat and wish to clarify that those canvassing this position have no basis to do so.
“Of particular concern are (sic) those who have peddled ill-natured rumours with a view to misinform our discerning populace that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and by extension, the Federal Government of Nigeria that gave directives to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue Certificate of Return to Dr. Uchechukwu Ogah declaring him Governor-Elect. He has definitely not taken any action either by spoken words or body language as far as this Abia governorship crisis is concerned.
“I wish to therefore, on behalf of my principal declare that these rumours are untrue and a figment of the imagination of those pushing these selfish, shameless and irredeemable lies into public space which only translates to partisanship on the side of its purveyors.
“As far as the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation is concerned, the constitutional powers for the legal opinion of his office have not been invoked on this issue. So far, nobody has approached him to proffer any legal opinion to it.
“As a strong believer in the rule of law, it is his belief that the law should naturally take its cause. The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation will not be dragged into this controversy and mind-games being played out by the various legal minds and spin doctors of both camps at this point.
“The parties involved should await the decision of the courts.
“In fact, we wish to by this statement advice those in the habit of dragging the highly esteemed Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice into knotty issue of this kind even when it is yet to take a position. They should desist from these unwarranted presumptions henceforth. “

Just as I replied you yst on this same issue let me repeat my self again while you wait for tomorrow to do the magic for you. The Vanguardngr article you quoted said "the parties involved should wait for the decisions of the Courts" (the emphasis is on the plural Courts)
The above explanation is why the security details of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu have never been withdrawn and from his point of view both Appeal Court and Supreme Court need to make judgement on this particular case to set a precedence since the Electoral Act that enable Amaechi became Governor has been amended in 2010. |

we shall see what plays out this week
I don't know why some Nigerians are these confused or should i say mischievous they tend to know the right thing and shout on top of their voices when they are affected and confuse when it happens the way they are against, whether we hate or like something we should always try to stand by the truth irrespective of tribe, religion or party or we risk remaining stagnant.
In this Abia state saga am very much astonished that some senior lawyers could stoop so low to say what they are saying when the law which they claim to abide is very clear and unambiguous but need not to apply nothing but a literal rule interpretation meaning.
Now Section 143 sub 1 of the electoral Act which guilds the conduct of elections clearly provides
"If the Election Tribunal or the COURT as the case may be determines that a Candidate returned as elected was not validly elected, then if notice of Appeal against that decision is given within 21 days from the date of the decision the candidate returned as elected shall, not withstanding the contrary decision of the election tribunal or the COURT, remain in office pending the determination of the Appeal".
The Law is very Clear irrespective of pre or post election matter, the checking of document for election is an electioneering process and primary election is an election process also monitored by Inec.
Now my question is why was Inec so fast in issuing Certificate of return to Dr Uche ogar because this is not the first time a sitting governor is sacked by the court and they Appeal while on sit, does it mean that if the court declares, later this week the third contender Barr Friday Nwosu who first approach the court before Uche Ogar contending that he should be declared governor that Gov. Ikpeazu was not qualify to contest the election and Uche ogar rejected the primary election result and did not accept or sign the result thus should not benefit from what he has rejected, will Inec also issue him certificate of return and if Gov. Ikpeazu wins in Appeal court will Inec also issue him another certificate of return take it or leave it Inec has put confusion in Abia.
Let us move away from election does it mean that when ever a trial court sentences one to death for criminal act or murder the person should be executed immediately when his stipulated time for Appeal has not elapsed.
Am not siding any party am only voicing out as a concerned Abian because right here in Abia there is tension and clashes.
Abians, Nigerians, and the world should hold Inec responsible if, and for anything that happens in Abia. With all these ur testbook,it shows u're d one wu is still getting it wrong.INEC has done no wrong but simply obey court order.This is not an election case but forgery/fraud case.Ikpeazu ab initio was not meant to contest at all,so as far as dat 2015 election was concern,Ikpeazu was not PDP candidate and should not in anyway benefit from d election.Dia4,he should automatically vacate dat sit bcs it's a stolen sit and if he feels he is qualified,should approach court of appeal to prove his case.Na forgery case no be election rigging or any other electoral malpractice.In a sane society,Ikpeazu will be attending court from Kuje prison. 1 Like |
