Supreme Court Reinstates Injunction Order Against Rivers APC Congresses by donc26(m): 7:48pm On Jan 21, 2019 |
The Supreme Court on Monday set
aside the ruling of the Court of Appeal ,
Port Harcourt Division, which vacated
a stay order made by a Rivers High
Court against the conduct of All
Progressives Congress congresses in
the state.
Delivering the ruling on the
interlocutory appeal , Justice Centus
Nweze held that the decision of the
Court of Appeal was in error .
Nweze said the lower court was
compelled to be guided by the
judgments of the apex court , adding
that the panel had to follow the law
before arriving on its decision .
“ This court is the highest and final
court of decision in Nigeria . All other
courts must abide by decisions from
here. Failure to do this amounts to
gross misconduct by judges .

“ I hereby make an order setting aside
the ruling of the Court of Appeal in
Port Harcourt which vacated the stay
order made by a State High Court in
this matter ,’’ he said .
The judge held that the respondent
(APC) was in contempt when some of
its members invaded the court and
disrupted the peace of the court during
proceedings.
According to him, it is against known
procedure of court for such a party to
approach an appellate court to be
granted any prayers in a matter for
which it is in contempt.
“ The action and attitudes displayed by
members and agents of the respondent
are complete affront on the judiciary
and would not be condoned,’’ he said .
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that Ibrahim Umar and 12 other
members of the APC had approached
the apex court challenging the decision
of the Court of Appeal in Port
Harcourt.
The appellants had initially instituted
a case in the Rivers State High Court
challenging their exclusion from the
party congresses . https://punchng.com/supreme-court-reinstates- injunction-order-against-rivers-apc-congresses/ |
