Yes, they did.
The application will also be looked into on Monday.

The factional members allege that the so-called Chairman who filed the case had long been suspended by the Party in December.

Secondly, that they endorsed Diri before the Guber elections and wouldn't have gone back to file a case against him and his party.

Thirdly, that they were unaware of the case in Court.

These are their own statements.....The ANDP Chair will also file his before we know where to go.
LM & UPC have better cases at the Appeal not ANDP.

The Court will decide afterwards.

PS: ....The last person you quoted came into that Supreme Court thread you created and ran away. I saw him but laughed.
On this Bayelsa case, don't reply everyone.

LM & UPC better cases as in

muykem:
Appeal court doesn't need to waste time on this case. They need to answer only two questions.
1. Is INEC has power to disqualify a candidate that doesn't meet constitution requirements without a recourse to court?
2. After a party has validly nominated a candidate. Is letter from INEC to the party concerning eligibility of their candidate has any legal backing?

Answer to this two questions lies the judgement.

Did andp approach the court after inec removed its party logo as required by our constitution?
Do you need any legal backings to reject an underage candidate?
Can an underage candidate be validly nominated?
Did you read DPP supreme court judgement against Inec and yaya bello?

fergie001:
You even have time.....

Morning Sir. I heard that the other faction of andp filed an application to join the case at the appeal court on thursday. The application will be determined by Monday next week. What do you think sir?

RE- APPEAL COURT AWARD OF 200,000 COST AGAINST PDP TODAY IN THE CASE OF ANDP V INEC & ORS: THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED.

Arising from the majority judgement of the Bayelsa State 2019 Governorship election tribunal, INEC, HIS EXCELLENCY, SENATOR DOUYE DIRI and PDP earlier filed their notices of appeal and subsequently their appellate briefs. ANDP had equally filed its respondent brief accordingly in the court of Appeal, Abuja. Later PDP engaged a SAN to join and lead its team.
The SAN filed a new appellate brief and today moved a motion to withdraw the earlier appellate brief filed by the former counsel that was leading the PDP team. ANDP objected that it has joined issues and responded to the earlier appellate brief filed by PDP therefore the new brief filed by PDP should not be allowed, because it will cause ANDP great inconvenience to respond to the new PDP appellate brief.
The ANDP team demanded that alternatively even if the new PDP appellate brief will be allowed, heavy cost be awarded against PDP. The Appeal Court allowed the motion by the PDP legal team and granted its application to withdraw its earlier appellate brief, maintaining that since PDP filed its notice of appeal and first appellate brief within time, it has right to withdraw its former appellate brief and change it with a new one.
The Court however added that given that the new PDP appellate brief will cause inconvenience to the ANDP, a cost of #200,000 is awarded against PDP.

I think you and the other guy are the actual ignorant ones.

Tell us what happened at the court of appeal then since you have another version

fergie001:
I have been following since 10am.

6 appeals are before the Court but hearing for now, is for the nullification.

Stephen Adah (JCA) is leading two others.

INEC & PDP also appealed.

The panel for now has fined the PDP Two hundred thousand naira (N200,000) for withdrawing an argument and wasting the time of ANDP.

These guys are funny here o. They are saying that PDP has filed for withdrawal

fergie001:
The precise argument is unclear but it was filed by the PDP on September 3rd and they applied to withdraw it.

They were fined for the inconveniences caused the ANDP.


I told you they will nah.

Yeah. How is the nullification case going?

garfield1:
They were always going to appeal it na

OK sir

The Court of Appeal , Abuja Division has commenced hearing of six appeals filed against the judgment delivered by the Bayelsa Governorship election petition tribunal.

The tribunal had on 17th August nullified the election of Governor Douye Diri and his deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo on grounds that the Independent National Electoral Commission unlawfully excluded the Advanced National Democratic Party from the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state.

The appeals before the court is filed by Governor Douye Diri, INEC, PDP, Ibinene Stephen, Owei Woniwei and Vijah Opuma

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State yesterday, in party primaries to elect former Governor Seriake Dickson and Cleapas Moses as it candidates for the Senatorial By-election slated for October 31st into the vacant West and Central Senatorial Districts of the state.

Delegates from both Senatorial districts defy the torrential rainfall to cast their votes in the primaries held in Sagbama and Yenagoa simultaneously.

Dickson, who had no contestant for the Bayelsa West ticket of the party however declined the automatic nomination and voted.

The Returning Officer, Barr Nicholas Obhiseh, returned Dickson as the validly nominated candidate having polled 334 out of 338 accredited delegates with four invalid votes.

The members of the PDP from the Sagbama and Ekeremor decided not to pick the party's nomination form as a mark of honour to the former Governor who enjoys unprecedented acceptability and popularity in the area.

Speaking shortly after his return as the PDP senatorial candidate, Chief Dickson commended the people for their unflinching dedication, loyalty, support and prayers throughout his eight years as governor and for finding him worthy of another serious mission....

Nawa o. Dickson

fergie001:
Leave that rumour, he can. He is one of the respondents.
Like I have said before, INEC can separately appeal, so do PDP.
You can even have three separate appeals from that case.

OK sir. So inec will not be at the court of appeal with douye diri since they didn't appeal separately?

garfield1:
Whether grassroot or not,the stronger party will win.the ruling party in a state usually wins the lg and assembly polls.right from 2015,apc performs poorly in assembly polls but does very well in other polls.
The same way the won bayelsa east is how they will take central.last year,festus lost narrowly to diri.now that they are stronger and are still nursing the loss of the guber seat,nobody will spare pdp.I don't need to tell you that sylva and Lyon will involve themselves

Apoo

fergie001:
I guess so. Who will PDP push for Central?

I'm still hearing rumour in yenagoa that diri cannot appeal that tribunal judgement but only inec. How true is this?

fergie001:
I guess so. Who will PDP push for Central?

That assembly member or former state chairman.

garfield1:
It will be the same thing....even during the house of reps election,Yiuapc cleared southern ijaw.except apc loses power,southern ijaw,nembe and brass are no go areas for pdp

Bros let's not go there. I'm shocked that you're proud of APC rigging areas like nembe and brass. Even with that PDP won nembe constituency 1 and another in brass in the last assembly elections. I have told you that this is grassroot election and it seems you're not getting it. Let's stop here

fergie001:
Ya, I think Dickson will win.

It is that Central, PDP will have to dig deep. On paper, they stand no chance unless APC helps them.

I am shocked Tiwei didn't win though....like his mien.

It was rigged o

garfield1:
You are funny oh.what was the result of southern ijaw in last year poll?

Let me correct you here. In the last election the people came together to support their son irrespective of their political parties. Secondly, the results were cooked because the people wanted their son to be governor. This time is different and don't even use that last election result to judge at all. There's no Dickson or douye diri here. Its a grassroot election

garfield1:
It is clear that they are picking moses cleopas.let us not argue about this,pdp is non existent in southern ijaw LGA.

Southern ijaw no PDP? Bro you lie o

garfield1:
I heard ebifemowei is late Alams cousin...if the outcry gets too loud,he can be substituted though whoever apc presents will win

That will depend on PDP candidate. If they pick that house of assembly candidate it will be game over for APC

garfield1:
I am ok with ebebi.in the absence of lokpobiri,he will give Dickson a good fight but will still lose.I don't know this ebifemowei..why must sylva handpick an unknown candidate

There is anger in APC bayelsa central right now. Sylva is another Dickson infact

Tiwei, Igali and Festus though
This primary was arranged for that unpopular candidate

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja yesterday dismissed the appeal filed by Hope Democratic Party challenging the judgment of Federal High Court which upheld the power of INEC to deregister the party.

Justices Bitrus Sanga, Lokulo Sodipe and Oniyangi in a unanimous decision adopted its judgment in NUP (National Unity Party) which is on fours with the case put forward by the Hope Democratic Party.
This latest Judgment has once again reaffirmed for a second time at the Appeal Court level INEC’s power to deregister the 74 parties.

This Judgment reinforces INEC position on the deregistration of the 74 parties and their decision to Appeal the conflicting Judgments from the same Appeal court in favour of 22 of the deregistered parties.

Obuksbayelsa....

Let us listen to you guys....

No chance at all. Chief Tiwei will clinch the ticket this time

OlujobaSamuel:
Will the court or INEC create a special rule to accommodate ANDP? It's still going to be the 30days window if the judgement is upheld. Judgement when specific can't be implied, meaning APC or any other party can't be assumed to be ineligible for a new election should that be the case.
A new election means a new timetable from INEC

OlujobaSamuel:
I said if upheld.
For the ANDP to benefit from the judgement of the tribunal, the SC would have to affirm the tribunal ruling, if affirmed, there will be a substitution window which only ANDP can't benefit from, that is, even PDP might try not to present Diri whose candidature was the reason the initial election was lost.
I believe the topic is about APC being on the ballot should there be a new election according to the tribunal ruling, if the ruling should stand, APC will have another opportunity at the poll

APC is not benefiting from ANDP case that will not even stand. ANDP will be added to the election and not along with APC. As far Bayelsa is concerned, APC should prepare for 2023 governorship election.
A similar case like this happened in Anambra in 2015 senatorial election. There's nothing like fresh primaries, nominations and substitutions except by ANDP
