A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has declared that July 4, 2016 ruling of Justice M. Liman on the decision of the National Convention that removed the former acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic People, Ali Modu Sheriff, remains valid.

Delivering a judgment on Suit Number FHC/PH /CS /585/2016, filed by Senator Ben Obi for himself and other members of the National Planning Committee of the PDP, against the Inspector-General of Police, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, the Department of State Services and the Independent National Electoral Commission, Justice Ibrahim Watila insisted that since the July 4 judgement had not been set aside by a higher court, its judgement remained effective.



Justice Watila specifically said that the 1st, 3rd and 5th defendants in the matter; Inspector General of Police, Department of State Services and the Independent National Electoral Commission were also bound by the July ruling.

Senator Ben Obi had asked the court to rule on whether the July 4, 2016 judgement was binding on the 1st, 3rd and 5th defendants in the matter.

The trial judge explained that the court was always jealous of its ruling until it was set aside by a higher court, maintaining that, “Every authority expected to carry out a court judgement should not assist in flouting such court orders.”

“This court will not shy away from protecting the sanctity of its judgment. The court has held that the appointment of the PDP National Caretaker Committee is valid,” he added.

A Federal High Court in PH can not set aside or overrule the Orders of a Federal High Court in Abuja - Both has Concurrent Jurisdiction. Only the same court or a high court can do so.

What is killing PDP is Greed and Stubbornness. When PDP were dead broke, Sheriff can and rescued them - paid bills, debts, rents, salaries, etc. In exchange he became Oga Chair. PDP must humble, beg Sheriff and settle this out of court.

As it stands now, Sheriff is sitting tight on PDP matter.

You said the same thing with the judge..

A federal high court in Abuja cannot overule another court in PH with equal jurisdiction

.. and have no power to stop the convention.

Lalasticlala, let people know so that they can catch the last night bus to PH

ok

The court in Abuja already issued an order on the matter, before Ben Obi and his crew ran to PH to secure some Kangaroo "Go-Ahead" order. Any convention in PH tomorrow is a waste of time like the last one.

Nigeria Judiciary is a joke.

This Sheriff Saga is very funny. Whoever makes Ali Modu sheriff a business partner or Trustee of any organisation is in trouble.

The PH court is only obeying the ruling of Justice Liman on July 4th that removed Modu Sheriff.. a valid injuction which has not been set aside by a higher court.

Got it?

Any day a "Sheriff" becomes your Tenant, it will take the entire Solar System to evict him from the property.

He was on his own when PDP and their Poverty begged him to come and rescue them. Today, the guy is a very stubborn visitor. The sad part is he has the capacity to pull a very large chunk of PDP if push comes to shove.

Go to FrontPage, the latest Ruling is there. Sheriff is on top of PDP matter. This story you are pushing here has been overtaken by event. Until PDP humble themselves, kneel down and beg Sheriff and he withdraws his case from the court, only then can peace be insight. Even Jonathan asked them to go and beg Sheriff. All this Collabo between FFK, Fayose and Wike cannot stop Sheriff.

Port Harcourt high court judgement came first

Okon Abang na you go tire

Even if injustice Okon Abang delivers another judgement tomorrow morning, the PDP convention will proceed as planned

All Sheriff is one win - the illegality of Markafi.

Take Edo for instance, they both have candidates. It is a winner take all. Where was FFK when PDP needed money to pay salaries and their glutton list of debt? Sheriff can always pull his loyalists to form a new party if this does not workout

The court in PH had already ruled on the validity of the Ahmed Makarfi led executive, so Justice Abang has no right to overrule a court of concurrent jurisdiction. Only a higher court can set aside that order.

The convention is in order.

Tomorrow's Convention is null and void.

Got it?

The Ahmed Makarfi faction presented a candidate for Edo governorship election and the Sheriff group also did. Whose candidate did INEC recognise?

That should give you a pointer.

The biggest losers here are the Poverty Development Party. If not for Poverty, Sheriff will not be here.

Let the proceed, at least PDP can spare us the Crocodile tears about not obeying court in releasing their albino.

You're cornered guy.. quit clowning..

Sheriff should ask for a refund of whatever he feels he spent on the party before pulling his loyalists back to APC

The convention holds and that is final.

From all indications, Sheriff is not interested in Refund - he just want his pound of PDP flesh. It makes a great scene watching from the sideline

Our Judicial system is a big joke. I weep for this country.

As I said, all Sheriff needs is just one win - and he will have everything. Everything Markafi did will be in vain.

Between now and Supreme Court, PDP is at the mercy of Sheriff - including Kangaroo Convention in PH.

All Sheriff want is to sit at the Convention in the Chairman's seat, but pride won't let PDP. At this rate, PDP will have more bloody nose. If PDP refuse to become humble, Sheriff will start the discussion of how many pieces to leave behind.
