Amen

They are going to meet Gambari, Nigerian President, over Obaseki’s disqualification

They are meeting with the new President H.E. Professor Gambari.

I wonder wetin the figure head there dey spend him time dey do on a daily?

Perhaps just chewing some vegetable, eating gworo, starting into space, and driving flies with a broom.

Na when dem need am for photo ops to deceive themselves, dem go wear am agbada, wheel am out, beg am make e no yarn anyhow.

Shame on everyone who was/is involved in this treasonable felony, una dey go break surely.

Chaiiii

They thought Obaseki will be cowered like Ambode. They thought he will appeal his disqualification.
Obaseki's calmness is given Oshimole nightmares. A senior lawyer told me that even if APC win Edo governorship election, the court may disqualify the party as it did in Zamfara state.
They may have to settle Obaseki and beg him not to go to court.
And if Obaseki's contest under PDP, APC may lose Edo state. There is no peace for Oshimole.

Nothing new

Why should the CoS, who may not even be a card carrying member of the party, be the one to settle an entirely party affair.

In one breath you chant party supremacy while almost at the same time running to the executive for the validation of every action the party takes

on what grounds will THE court disqualify the party

so they have turned this man to another Abba kyari

Meet Gambari for what? Is he even a member of the party? Nonsense!

This is after they must have discussed and agreed on who will emerge from the primaries and the agreement that the candidate will not come out to fight god-fatherism again....


So, the puppet amongst them, have agreed to lick Oshiomole's ass for 8yrs.....Just to avoid a repetition of Obaseki's mistakes...

So Gambari is to give his consent and approval on behave of the vegetable....

Your senior lawyer friend is slowpoke. Reason being that.....

Disputes over disqualification of aspirants is not justiciable in law.

The court has no jurisdiction to question political parties over exclusion of candidates from primaries. The Courts only have jurisdiction over the conduct of primaries. See Section 87 of the Electoral Act.

In the case of APC v. Engr. Suleiman Aluyi Lere (2020) 1 NWLR (Part 1705) 254, Rhodes-Vivour, JSC at 285 said:

"Candidates are expected to obtain expression of interest and nomination forms, present their certificates for verification and appear before a Screening committee. This is the stage at which the domestic or internal affairs of the political party are not justiciable. The courts will not dabble into how a member of the party is screened, or why a member was not cleared by the party to contest the primaries. Put in another way, before a member of the party is cleared, the party has the power to disqualify their member, and is answerable to no one including the courts. A dissatisfied member's remedy is to leave the party and seek his political ambitions somewhere else."

I am not a lawyer but as we speak, I can authoritative tell you that some APC leaders and lawyers are already brainstorming on how to handle the legal challenge that may come if Obaseki decides to go court. What you dont know is that preselection matters including screening can be subjected to legal redress. Obaseki was advised not to appeal. Read how the the governor of Kano is already expressing fears about legal implications this evening. That is how some people were arguing with me when I said APC will eventually lose Zamfara in court.

Go to court over what? He was disqualified he didnt appeal his disqualification but will go to court

The court will ask him did you follow your party guidelines in resolving disputes?

Your submissions above are correct. But Oshimole and his faction of APC out of desperation did not follow the party Constitution in the formation of the screening panel and the waiver granted Iyamu. Some of the decisions taken are subject to NEC approval and Oshimole announced the disqualification of Obaseki by 2.00pm on the same day the appeal is suppose to close.

I think Obaseki is harvesting from his seed of thanklessness, ingrate and ingratitude behavior. You can't bite the finger that fed you and expect to have good in return.he deserves what happened to him.
