Lostz:Thank you very much. Supreme Court: Adamawa APC Rep Member Accepts Verdict , Congratulates PDP July 31, 2019 Supreme Court: Adamawa APC Rep Member Accepts Verdict , Congratulates PDP House of Representatives Member, Honourable Abdulrauf Modibbo Girei, representing Yola North/Yola South/ Girei Federal constituency of Adamawa State has accepted the decision of the supreme court ,which nullified his election is on certificate forgery of his NYSC. Though he said the court didn’t explore every channel at it’s disposal to investigate or verify the allegations leveled against him, he accepted the verdict in good faith and congratulated the PDP candidate . The Supreme Court on Tuesday, sacked the Adamawa lawmaker , Abdulra’uf Abdulkadir Modibo of All Progressives Congress (APC). The five-man panel of the court, led by Justice John Okoro, in a unanimous judgment, upheld an appeal by Mustapha Usman. The apex court found that Modibbo forged his credentials. It also affirmed that he did not participate in the mandatory National Youth Service Corps ((NYSC) scheme. This man won the Girei/Yola Constituency, it was a pre-election matter and the SC disqualified him almost six months after he had been sworn in. https://dailynewstimeng.com/2019/07/31/supreme-court-adamawa-apc-rep-member-accepts-verdict-congratulates-pdp/ |

Me, I knew the judgement is politically calculated and influenced. Firstly, PDP were seriously appealing to Wike to help them after they lost the Bayelsa election. Wike in his first reaction, declared, what they wanted from him after they have overwhelming lost. I guess, he was later told. Secondly, the judgement was perfectly calculated to be (hurriedly) delivered just the eve to the inauguration so that the inauguration will not affect the technicalities on which the Governor Elect will be disqualify. Because once he and his deputy are sworn in, the two people becomes separate legal entity, Thirdly, to get to know that Justice Odilli is part of the panel with past records of political judgement concerning Rivers and neighbouring states, I am sceptical accepting that the judgement is void of bias. 2 Likes |

It is the Judiciary which grants those prayers. Worse case scenario should be a rerun for the people to make another choice haven disqualified their choice for whatever reason. The people should not be punished for the mistakes of parties or candidates. Justice should supersede law. Justice is the essence of law. bkool7: 1 Like |

WATCHOVER: True APC lawyers ought to have raised objection on the grounds that the appeal was raised after the election hence the supreme lack jurisdiction. |

Judeerons32: In the case of Yahaya Bello vs Faleke, why did APC insisted on submitting Faleke’s name alongside Bello to INEC despite the fact that Faleke refused to ran with him(Bello)? https://nigeriancurrent.com/2015/11/28/apc-picks-bello-retains-faleke-as-running-mate/ It’s a testament to the fact that no candidate can run for a gubernatorial election without a deputy. In the eyes of the law, Faleke was Bello’s I running mate in that election. Btw, the Kogi incidence was never envisaged by our law, hence the lacuna! PDP would have done well if they challenged Bello’s nomination in court knowing fully well he wasn’t a registered voter in Kogi as at that time. But then, fate has it ways of smiling at people. |

Iamgrey5: And I am telling you that a pre election matter doesn't expire because an election has taken place. An election does not stop the right of appeal every party lawfully enjoys. If the Court of appeal had upheld the judgement of the high court excluding APC, elections were conducted and PDP was declared winner, will you toe this line of argument to say APC should not approach the SC when hoping for a chance that the decision of the lower courts would be overturned? Remember that it was the day after the court of appeal judgement was given that Bayelsa election was conducted. 1 Like 1 Share |

This is psychological blackmail to pre-determine the election. Supreme court will not reverse itself on Bayelsa. It is a dangerous precedent and this might even affect IMO. They will invoke doctrine of finality to strike out every case. If not, they will lose what makes them supreme. People will no longer accept their judgement as final but as another judgment that can be appealed. Back to the topic. The SCN did an excellent job in Bayelsa 1 Like 1 Share |

Iamgrey5:does not change anything. the prayer granted also mean disqualification of APC since the window to substitute candidate is over. the window was open when Dickson took APC to court but Osho as usual went to sleep believing not will happen. Osho should have reviewed those certificates and substitute him but he was afraid of returning Sylvia bribe money 1 Like 1 Share |
