Governorship Tussle: Abia Elders, Traditional Rulers Back Ikpeazu by OKDnigeria: 10:39pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Abia State elders and traditional rulers have described the issuance of Certificate of Return to Mr. Uche Ogah by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the order of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja, as perverse and reckless. http://dailypost.ng/2016/07/05/someone-who-didnt-contest-election-cant-be-governor-wabara-orji-ogbulafor-others-back-ikpeazu/

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. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

If Ikpeazu ends up losing and the supreme court affirms Ogah as the governor, expect the same Abia elders to visit him on his first day in office to declare their 'unconditional support' describing him as 'the man the people have been waiting for'. Bunch of clowns 15 Likes 1 Share |

Which elders....? These are political jobbers and contractors who are feeding fat from the Government of Abia State. See their faces.... Do they look like elders? From Onyema Ugochukwu to Vincent Ogbulafor..... They are afraid of loosing their monthly allocation from the governor so they are battling to save their only means of livelihood.

CJERRYEMILEX: I think you are the one who is confused and ignorant on this matter. The above section of the electoral act you just quoted holds for a post election matter and not for a pre election matter. Agreed that by virtue of Section 143 of the Electoral Act, where the Election Tribunal or Court, as the case may be, determines that a candidate returned was not validly elected, the invalidly elected candidate shall continue to remain in office pending his appeal and is also entitled to remain in office for a duration of 21 days within which he is to appeal. This provision does not apply to pre-election cases like the instant case of Abia State. Why? The "Election Tribunal" or "Court" referred to in the preceding paragraph is defined in Section 133 (2) of the Electoral Act to be the Court of Appeal where it sits over Presidential or Governorship election petitions and the election tribunal established by the Constitution or the Electoral Act. This interpretation also applies to Section 141 of the Electoral Act which forbids an Election Tribunal or Court from declaring any person who did not fully participate in all stages of the election as the winner of the election. Mention should be made that the Federal High Court in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS1/2011 between Labour Party and Attorney General of the Federation, delivered on 21st July, 2011 had annulled Section 141 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended). http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/court-rejects-sections-of-2010-electoral-act/ https://www.nairaland.com/2720972/clarification-section-140-2-141 Interestingly, the injunctive orders granted by the Abia State High Court in favour of Ikpeazu were made pursuant to Section 143 of the Electoral Act. With due respect to the judge, the orders are not only legally indefensible but amounts to an affront on the position taken by the Supreme Court on the non-applicability of those provisions to pre-election cases. This is another reason why the said injunction cannot command respect. Both Sections 141 and 143 of the Electoral Act are not applicable to the Federal High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in pre-election cases. Any doubt on this submission can easily be resolved by reference to the recent landmark decision of the Supreme Court in Jev & Anor v. Iyortom & Ors (2015) LPELR-24420 (SC) where the Apex Court pronounced on the issue in vivid terms. 2 Likes
