i tell u before say dia will be problem by d time those against d deletion gets their own judgement from another high court. malami and co no fit run street on efrybody and go scot free o.
all those precedents wey u cite na jankara judgement

fergie001:

The AGF of course won't appeal because it favours him.

Yes, the NASS & indeed INEC can appeal the judgement. Since they weren't parties, they will ask the leave of the Court of Appeal as "interested parties" and when granted, it will have a separate file number and the appeal can go on.

Toks2008:
Confusion everywhere.

All I know is that Osinbajo will declare his intent to be the CEO of Nigeria and when he does, the hosts of heaven will back him, Nigerians home and away will rejoice, on the day he declares, there will be rejoicing all over the land of Nigeria.

He will contest and he will win.

I present to you the incoming president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

litigator:
The constitution defines a public officer and political appointee didn’t come within the list. If you apply the rules of interpretation as provided in the Interpretation Act, you will discover that Mr. Falana’s position seems current. However, this is for the Supreme Court to decide.

Let’s not forgot the issue of denial of fairing hearing as NASS suggested she was not served with copies of the processes and was thus denied the right to fair hearing which is a constitutional right as propounded in Grace Jack v. University of Makurdi.

ityP:



No one will vote for this economically bereft individual. Someone who thought 5k to poor Nigerians would somehow alleviate their poverty? Someone who has headed FEC more times than his boss but our economy is still on a downward spiral? This guy should just wait for someone else to be president, then that president can now appoint him to be AGF/Chief Justice.

Nigerialabalaba:

2 much sense dey worry u. political appointees dey end with tenure, civil servants na for 35 years or till u clock 65 years. political apiontees no be civil servants abeg. it is like day and night. d only time dey are d same is during corruption trial

ChuksHills:
To me since this political appointees are heading government ministries and agencies they are still considered as public servant. You can not be head of civil servant and say you are not a public servant. It is just like a pastor heading the body of Christ (church) and saying he is not a Christian.

However, Falana cited Asogwa v Chukwu 2003, Dada v Adeyeye 2005, Ojonye v Onu (2018) that deals with the LGA Chair.

However, Oni v Fayemi was delivered in February 2019 and is the latest judgement.

Therein, the Appeal Court in a unanimous judgement insisted that Ministers are Public Servants who are not caught up by the 30-days rule before Primaries, because of the nature of their employment. He went further to jettison the previous judgements as they were decided per incuriam.

Two of the three Judges that sat that day are in the Supreme Court now (Jauro & Agim).

So, if the National Assembly is ready, no wahala...


You are right wrt the Court's non-joinder of interested parties, but it is left for the interested persons to apply for a leave of Court from Owerri first.

This is getting interesting. Malami fighting tooth and nail because he wants to become the governor of Kebbi state. He is such a greedy man. He's bought up almost all the available parcel of land in Birnin-Kebbi metropoly.

Can you substantiate if asked to in court?

perambulator:

. Nigerians don’t vote on issues, neither do they really determine their president. The next president of Nigeria will be determined at the party primaries, people voting at the primaries don’t worry about the things you are worrying yourself about. Whoever APC present will win if they manage to stay together as a party because PDP do not have anyone formidable enough.

Don’t flatter yourself that they care about your vote, the people whose votes really matter care about N5000…….and they outnumber you 20 to 1! They are the ones whose votes matter, the job of people like you and I was to get involved n primaries to determine who the candidates will be but we spend all our time online. So we have absolutely no relevance in the political process which is why our concerns are never addressed!!!

ityP:



Toh, you don talk am. They won't stay together. PDP lost because they were not united. They seem very united right now and actually that's all that matters. APC convention hasn't happened yet but chaos plenty like this. Oga, APC is not going anywhere in 2023. Buhari will actually make sure of that if the person he wants as president doesn't scale through primaries

litigator:
We are saying the same thing. My point is that the position of the law was miss applied by the Court. With due respect, Government appointee cannot eat their cake and have it.

It is wrong in law for a party to approbate and reprobate. It is a legal sin

Anyway, let me calm down, and see what the learned justices of the Supreme Court will do. Perhaps the court will depart from existing decisions. Who knows?

Interesting times await us all

cktheluckyman:

INEC cannot appeal the judgement as it is expected to be neutral.The only people that can appeal the Judgement are the NASS

When elders talk listen to them. Femi Falana have spoken, so shall it be.

We told you that we are ready to fight dirty, and we mean it.

If Osinbajo declares, that will make him another Judas, the traitor. We all know how Judas ended

fergie001:
What about Oni v Fayemi at the Appellate Court?

That is the most recent and declared Dada v Oniyeye & Ojonye v Onu per incuriam.

Supreme Court will help us.

Agbegbaorogboye:


Supreme gini? That case has been concluded. No one will take it to SC. The organ with the locus to take it to SC should be NASS but I doubt they will try that because before the case is fully dispensed with, the political appointees would have done what they hoped to prevent them from doing
