Jerry Gana Is SDP Presidential Candidate, Court Rules by Ecstasy154(m): 2:48pm On Dec 14, 2018 |
An FCT High Court in Maitama on Friday declared a former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, the winner of the presidential primary election of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) conducted on October 6. The party had declared a former Governor of Cross River, Mr. Donald Duke, the winner of the election and its flag bearer for the 2019 General Elections. The party said that Duke polled 812 votes while Gana had 611. However, Gana went to court seeking that it would declare him the winner in line with the zoning and rotation formula of the party’s constitution. In his judgement, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf held that the regulations contained in the party’s constitution were binding on every member and must be obeyed. He held that the zoning and rotation formula as contained in the party’s constitution stipulated that both the chairman of the party and the flag bearer should not come from the same zone. “In this instance, the party’s Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, is from the South and Duke is from the South too; the law is clear; there is nothing to write in-between. “The law has crystallised that political parties should abide by the regulations which they have made by themselves. “The claimant laid sufficient evidence to have the judgment in his favour; it is a clear violation of the party’s constitution; the court cannot wave right over illegality,” he held. The judge, therefore, declared Gana the winner of SDP presidential primary election conducted on Oct. 6. He also declared Duke’s 812 votes null and void, and ordered SDP to forward Gana’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s flag bearer for the 2019 presidential election. In addition, he ordered that Duke should stop parading himself as the party’s flag bearer for the elections. Gana had joined SDP, its National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae; National Secretary, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam; Chairman, SDP Presidential Screening Panel/ Deputy National Chairman, South, Prof. Tunde Adeniran; Duke and INEC as defendants in the suit. Gana sought a declaration that Duke was not eligible to stand as a candidate in the party’s presidential primaries held on Oct. 6, in Abuja. He also sought a declaration of the court that he ought to have been declared the winner of the SDP presidential primary election, having polled the highest valid votes in the said election. The former minister wanted an order of the court declaring him the validly elected flag bearer of the party for the 2019 General Elections. Gana also sought a perpetual injunction restraining Duke from parading himself as the SDP presidential candidate for the elections, among other reliefs. He had argued that under Article 15(3) of the SDP Constitution, the office of the national chairman of the party and the presidential candidacy shall rotate between the northern and southern parts of the country.

He held that the zoning and rotation formula as contained in the party’s constitution stipulated that both the chairman of the party and the flag bearer should not come from the same zone. Zone and parts and not same hence error in judgment. He had argued that under Article 15(3) of the SDP Constitution, the office of the national chairman of the party and the presidential candidacy shall rotate between the northern and southern parts of the country. Is Southwest and South-south in the same zone? Na waa for Nigerian Courts. We have six immigration zonal headquarters in Nigeria and not two (North and South) 4 Likes

Why would SDP, Gana and or Duke willfully decide to waste scarce resources. Is there any benefit attached to being referred to as 'a one time presidential candidate'? |

Reference:All the mushroom political parties that sprung up across the country knows fully well that they can't smell the presidency, but it is all about positioning themselves solely for egunje and their stomachs, in my honest opinion. Nigeria only has 2 political parties, PDP and APC the rest are kulikuli and pepper soup parties, they eventually get settled along the line and they support either PDP or Apc, nonsense 6 Likes |

What is wrong with this old man sef He has been in almost every government in this country for as far back as I can remember He left no particular achievement in any of them (I stand to be corrected though ) Just when a shining light was emerging and shinning so bright, this spoiler of a Man came up with a useless cacophony called zoning and that presiding judge too has left a lot to be considered in the lopsided judgement he just delivered. I mean when did SW and SS become one zone in Nigeria And to think that these are the very people that called the youths leaders of tomorrow. I sang that song as a kid and now my kids are singing them too yet those old recycled goons ain't letting any free space for us Chai! May God help this Country 2 Likes |
