Mr Donald Duke, the Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has said he will appeal the judgment removing him as the party’s presidential flag bearer.

DAILY POST had reported that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday declared Prof. Jerry Gana, a former Nigerian Minister of Information, as the presidential candidate of the SDP.

Duke had been declared as the presidential candidate of the party after the primary election held in October 2018 in which Gana was also an aspirant.

However, Gana instituted a case against the result in court, basing his case on the zoning and rotation formula of the party.
Giving his ruling, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf said: “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.”

“Duke’s votes were declared null and void and the judge declared that Gana was the winner of the election.

“The SDP was also ordered to forward Gana’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) as its candidate for the 2019 general election.

But, reacting, Duke told NAN in Lagos that: “While we await a copy of the judgement for a detailed review, it is imperative we reiterate our constitutionally backed belief.
“Every Nigerian who meets the legal requirement is entitled to contest for the office of the President.
“Any Law that seeks to curtail or subvert that right under any guise is unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect.

“The delegates of our great party at its Convention in October, overwhelmingly elected me as their presidential flag-bearer

“Any attempt to subvert their wishes through the instrumentality of the courts will be challenged.

“As a Law abiding citizen, I urge my supporters and members to remain calm as we are confident that the decision of the Court will be upturned on appeal.

“We are optimistic that the Appellate Court will reach a decision that reinforces the essential tenets of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” NAN quoted him as saying.
Duke added that his optimism was in line with the wishes of members of the Social Democratic Party.

another problem of Nigeria just spoke...Pretend u working to get eventual favors including mortgaging your conscience,principles and ideologies...Smh..


It's sad to say this but since 2014 i have come to understand through thorough research that for every 10 Nigerians you see 7 amongst them are pathological hypocritical homosapiens,liars,deceptive,cold,cunning and calculated heartlesss..,possess zero integrity and self sufficient beliefs in other words,they are insatiable and can never be contented..

The more reason why no one voluntarily resigns instead they kill through all sorts of means including diabolical which by default anyway is part of their heritage,...Flash back to the deception....They rather customized the position and turn it into a monarchy system or dynasty..Only in Nigeria u can study french but become minister for aviation and science &technology and if people not satisfied you gun for mr for interior where u oversee all of them with better and more relevant qualifications..


The irony of tinz Here is 85% of people to read what i wrote here are guilty of everything but can't help it...Because it can never make sense them that u advocating for saner and healthier mindset...The leadership is a direct product of the society...When i read comments i stopped troubling the leadership..

PROF JERRY GANA can not even win the Presidential election.

He is a low weight that is not reckon with especially in the north let alone the middle belt.

He should go and run for other political office like that of governor in his native Niger state.

Historically speaking, Prof Gana was the director of the Mass Mobilization for Social Justice and Economic Recovery, popularly known as MAMSER during the military era of General Ibrahim Babangida in the mid 1980 s.

Ever since he has been politicking and moving around various streams of Nigeria political circle.

Prof Gana deserve an elevated position but not necessary a high position like the post of a President.

He lack a sound knowledge of world economics and business management including financial management.

MR PETER OBI AND MRS EZEKWESILI ARE THE TWO MOST QUALIFIED ASPIRANT THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR AS FAR AS 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS CONCERNED.

I wonder why Duke and Gana are both chasing after shadows, knowing fully well that they CAN NEVER win the election on SDP platform.

Or maybe it's just for the recognition as a "former presidential candidate". Abeg, does anyone know if this gives any honour or privilege?
