APPEAL COURT RESTORES ENUGU LP REPS MEMBER UMEHA

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos State on Saturday upheld the election of Cyriacus Sunday Umeha, representing Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.


The court set aside the judgement of the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu, which had earlier nullified the victory of Umeha.

The three-man justices of the appellate court voided the decision of the trial tribunal on the ground that the lower court erred in law when it came to the conclusion that Umeha didn’t resign his membership in PDP, his former political party.

The court stated that issues of nomination and sponsorship of candidates were entirely pre-election matters.


DAILY POST recalls that a Justice A.M. Abubakar-led tribunal had declared Festus Uzor of PDP as the winner of the February 25 poll.

Not satisfied with the decision of the tribunal, the Labour Party and its candidate proceeded to the Court of Appeal, praying the court to void the judgement of the lower court.

However, the appeal court maintained that, based on the evidence tendered, Umeha duly resigned from PDP before seeking election on the platform of the Labour Party.

The court said Festus Uzor’s petition at the trial level lacked merit and ought to have been dismissed.

They won't praise the Judiciary now that the Judiciary is not corrupt in their favour.

The time frame within which election petitions must be concluded does not exclude Saturdays.

Hoebee should be celebrating and strategizing on this and not press conference of hate that Tinubu won. His party's senators are eating sour food now o!
Imagine them accepting N160m SUV and yet they ll call APC and PDP evil.
I thought Labour Party (LP) govs, senators and reps will immediately slash their earnings, disclose rots in govt and show that their type of politicians are different!
The ideology of Obi's campaign, cry and lamentations are that:
1. It don tey wey Ibos win
2. They can't accept a Yorubaman trashed them
3. They had evil intention that if not Obi it ll be Atiku.
Shame on LP!
This is from a neutral Nigerian that refused to be deceived by any party.
As for APC, we know they are evil. And when their cup is full, they ll be booted out!

Just make up your mind to have APC on that seat for 40years.
That's their plan..
They have done 8years already.

And how they intend to achieve that is by Not having efficient and effective Electoral Laws and Electoral Systems.

(And not by delivering good governance which would continue to have the people voting overwhelmingly for them at every election cycle)

Power must change hands.
LP can still be the real game changer. If they get their campaign right. One of their mistake is buying to abuses to diss deliberately opponents or to abuse for response.
Another is the way it was marketed as sn Igbo party. When all these and others are fixed, Nigerians seeking for liberation will port to them massively and rigging will be difficult or overwhelmed.

The weakness of the LP outing in the last election was the wide gap between the LP Core Members and the Obidients.

It created a great lacuna.

But that notwithstanding,, the Obidients will still not join LP and cower.
Let the LP continue to fight the Obidients.

It will still cost both the LP and the Obidients many years in the future.
..
.
As for the Igbo Party, that was a biigg lie.
LP had been in existence since loongg waayy back.
It was never a biigg party, yet many people in many states had won some minor elections in the oast through it, and it was never an Igbo Party all the while.

So, because Peter Obi decided to run with it, all the black-painting of an ancient party started??
And you yourself,, you believed that too?

Did Anybody in the LP NEC and NWC say that?
Did any of the candidates say that?

Or you believed what THE ENEMIES OF THE PARTY said about the party?

If you hear something about me (good or bad), wouldn't you want to hear my own version before you can believe anything you heard earlier or not?

I know of LP since 2007, time of Adams Aliyu Oshiomole. What am telling you is that the media package of it revealed it at some point as pro-Igbo party. Obi and crew also rode with the euphoria. The disasters that now met them was fielding of GRV who some has already painted as Igbo ass-licker to win Lagos.
GRV too come get bad-mouth.
Also, there's glaring evidence of Igbos to dominate Lagos. Which Yorubas won't allow. Ilorin mistake is still a headache.
More so, the tribes in Nigeria aren't that united. Cos Igbos can't allow a Yoruba man of GRV status that has mixed parents to contest in Igboland. They will do him tribalism too just as they did to Ojukwu's wife over 10 years ago.
So the party that was able to maneuver and sell itself nationwide the most won.
