. Affirms Bolarinwa as authentic Kwara APC chair
. Balogun-Fulani dissatisfied with judgement

Court of Appeal sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital on Tuesday sacked the Hon Ishola Balogun-Fulani faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The court thereafter affirmed the authenticity of the Hon Bashir Bolarinwa-led APC executives in the state.

A Kwara state High Court had December 19th last year ruled that the dissolved Ishola Balogun-Fulani executive is the authentic exco of the APC in the state.

The lower court thus nullified any candidate produced by the Bashir Bolarinwa executives for the forthcoming elections.

Dissatisfied by the judgement of the lower court, the APC (appellant) approached the appellate court for redress.

The appellants’ grounds of appeal are that “the claimants cannot join the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the state High court because INEC is a Federal Government agency; the amendment of
their originating summons was brought in bad faith.

“They brought issues that were not in existence as at the time of filing the suit originally. Even though the lower court has discretion, but its discretion must be exercised judicially and judiciously which was not done in this circumstance.”

The appellate court in an interlocutory judgement it delivered last week upheld the nomination of AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as the state APC governorship candidate.

Reading his judgement on the main appeal Justice Ibrahim Salauwa set aside the judgement of the lower court and upheld the Bashir Bolainwa-led executives.

He added there would be no reason to deliver a judgement on the same matter with the same parties after the interlocutory judgement of last week.

Justice Salauwa added that it “would amount to share fruitless academic exercise which the courts are not meant for.”

Reacting to the judgement, counsel to Hon Bolarinwa, Kamaldeen Gambari said that “what transpired is the affirmation of the interlocutory judgement which this court delivered sometime last week.

“It said the originating process of Ishola Balogun-Fulani is incurably defective. The state High Court has no jurisdiction to go ahead in the matter.”

APC counsel, Lawal Jimoh said that the judgement “has laid to rest all the controversies about the judgement of the Kwara state High Court delivered December 19th last year. It nullified the total judgement.

The issue of Hon Ishola Balogun-Fulani parading himself as the APC chairman has been laid to rest.

“This judgement further solidifies that primaries of APC held in October last year in the state. There is no controversy at all. As of today the APC in Kwara state can go and sleep when it comes to the issue of factionalisation of the party or not.

“The court by that judgement affirmed the authenticity of Hon Bashir Bolarinwa-led executives of APC in the state and of course all the candidates that emerged from the primaries that were held by the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC in October 2018 remain valid.”

Counsel to Ishola Balogun-Fulani, Abdulazeez Ibrahim expressed his dissatisfaction with the judgement. Ibrahim added that “the judgement is a simple one, because the issues were trashed at the interlocutory stage. That is supposed not to be the case. The decision in the interlocutory appeal has determined even the main appeal that was delivered today.

“So we are not satisfied about that judgement. And we have appealed against the interlocutory judgement delivered last week. So we are going to appeal against the judgement just delivered today again.”

Stop rejoicing, na your oga(Saraki) mole them sacked.

U

The reality is that Saraki will win re-election in Kwara, the Sultan of Sokoto who controls Ilorin Emirate in Yoruba Land will not allow for a change in status quo which could bring up somebody who will try to reestablish the absolute Yorubaness of Ilorin which was nearly put back in place by Late former Governor of Kwara Mohammed Lawal, but Lawal was eliminated and so many Yorubas in Kwara believe that Saraki conspired with the Sultan to eliminate Lawal. So do you expect them to throw Saraki under the bus because of APC?

Therefore, Saraki election is confirmed as the Caliphate will tell Buhari not to interfere as interest of Fulani is concerned. Those shouting 'Oto ge' are just wasting their saliva

dogs eating dogs best defines the character of APC

Truth remains, the APC as party are hypocrites, there are so many wrong doings conducted by them during their primaries. PDP is always better and composed.

See the the sucker punch wey Bukky Saraki knack Kwara APC just as Wike knack dem for Rivers.

Talking about Mole, hope you remember BOB, the affirmed chairman was a governorship aspirant under PDP 2011. He's also a former Saraki boy. You can never be too sure he's still not loyal to Saraki.
