The Court of Appeal sitting in Kano State has ordered a stay of execution in the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Kano, presided over by Justice M N Yunusa, which declared all the votes cast for LP candidates in Kano, Abia and other states as wasted votes.

This follows an application filed by the Abia State Governor-Elect, Dr Alex Otti.

His legal team appealed that he be joined as an interested party while having the lower court’s judgment suspended pending determination of the case before it.

The request was granted by the Appeal Court presided by Justice Ita George Mbaba JCA.

THE WHISTLER reports that following the lower court’s judgment, an appeal was entered by LP counsel, Umeh Kalu SAN on May 22, urging the court above to set aside the judgment of the trial court.

Kalu had argued that “trial court erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice when it entertained the suit which was bereft of any course of action.”

Recall that one Mr Ibrahim Haruna Ibrahim had sued the Labour Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), asking for the nullification of the votes of LP candidates at the 2023 poll.

The applicant also urged the high court to set aside the Certificate of Return issued to all LP candidates and order INEC to return the first runner up in all places won by LP candidates.

Justice M N Yunusa had declared all LP votes as “wasted votes”, citing the party’s failure to submit its membership register to the INEC within 30 days before the commencement of their primaries.

But on issuance of Certificate of Return, the trial Judge declined, saying “the parties that participated in Abia state are not parties before this court.”

The appellate court will now look into the merit of the case, issues having been joined.

Kudos..Barrister..My very inttelligent uncle.

Obedients will applaud this but if it a matter relating to sack an APC elected officer

They will curse he'll and brimstone out of the judges.

Obedients are only comfortable with anything that favours them.

Bunch of bloody hypocrites.

Let me wait for Peter obi to condemn this act from our judiciary

Kano has no locus standi in Abia State LP matters.
Worthless case

You lack the brain power to understand what it means to vacate orders and judgments made in vacuous and to set the records straight. People like you should not engage adults in a conversation.

Troublemaker

OK

Since the sack of that old Apapa fool sent by tinubu to destabilize LP the party is now back on track

Democracy won't be in danger now

The judiciary is a joke only when judgements don't favour them

Why are you wasting time teaching Dolts? Some people's brains are sedimentary already, so why bother?

If the judiciary isn't careful, they will destroy this country.

The question is, "was Otti ever part of the judgment"?
