POLITICSNIGERIA.COM

The Federal High Court (FHC) sitting in Abuja on Thursday delivered a judgement in favour of Cross River Governor, Prof Ben Ayade; and his deputy, Prof Ivara Esu, in respect of their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Ayade won on principle of stare decisis. Stare decisis is the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions. The Judge also held that the court cannot remove a governor sworn-in on the basis of defection.

The Judge, Justice Taiwo Taiwo, came in at exactly 2:15 pm. After the introduction of appearance for the PDP and others, reading of judgement commenced.

The court was full to capacity. Present in court were two governorship aspirants, Barrister Chris Agara and Arc Edem Duke; APC Cross River State Chairman Alphonsus Ogar Eba; Rt Hon Mike Etaba; Senator Stephen Odey; and Cross River State Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Barr Tanko Ashang.

Also present were Barr Pius Onigah, Comrade Nchor Kingsley, Christopher Ogar, Bukie Okangbe , Kalita Joe Aruku, among others.

This is ideal in a democratic setting as it will discourage unwarranted cross carpeting. The judgment will be appealed , however, we expect the higher courts to give credence to this judgement to improve our political process.

These polithiefians have no shame. Useless lots.


The courts are supposed to understand that once an elected politician defects to another party, the politician has lost the mandate of the electors. But the judges seem to have lost sense of good judgement, like the politicians.

Governors can't lose their seat by cross carpeting because the constitution stated the ways governors can lose their seat and changing parties is not one of them.
For senators and Members of House of Representatives, courts have decided they lose their seats when they change parties

Oya meant for only the executives. The legislative arm of government can only defect if it's proven there was a faction in the party, as at the time you defected.

Re: Court Sacks Yakubu Dogara From House Of Reps by garfield1: 7:31pm On Apr 22, 2022
fergie001:

You are confusing both.

The Constitution is clear that as a House of Assembly member or National Assembly member, your seat becomes vacant the moment you defect to another Party unless there is a fractionalization or division at the National HQs of the Party. The Supreme Court has even ruled on it in a judgement in 2015.

This same clause doesn't affect the President, Vice-President, Governor or Deputy-Governor. Only those in the Legislature are affected. So, it's a straight judgement!

Neither the Appeal Court nor the Supreme Court will rule differently in the spirit of stare decisis. They have already decided on such in Abegunde v Ondo House of Assembly in 2015.

Umahi is an executive with constitutional immunity. Dogara is a legislative. There you have the difference.

Section 68 (1) (g) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) is explicit in the case of Senators and House of Reps members, but doesn't mention Governors.

68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of
which he is a member if -

(g) "being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected; Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored...

It isn't erroneous. She is supposed to be on pre-retirement leave but with the permission of the CJN has been handling cases. There will be a dearth of experienced Judges at the SC once she leaves because Eko & Aboki are also leaving in May and August respectively.

Her pre-retirement letter has already been served her. Prof Ben Nwabueze, SAN will be the valedictorian of the day, May 12.
