Same thing with bayelsa tribunal :
Meanwhile, the CJN led panel, dismissed a third appeal that was brought against governor Bello by the Democratic People’s Party, DPP, after it was withdrawn by counsel to the party, Mr M.S. Ibrahim.
The panel stressed that the appeal was a “worthless academic exercise”, noting that the party fielded an underaged candidate that was 31 years old as at the time of the election.

It further awarded a cost of N200, 000 against the DPP. It will be recalled that the tribunal had in a two-to-one split decision on May 23, affirmed governor Bello’s election.
PoliticsKogi : S’court Dismissed DPP Suit For Exclusion, Other Judgements For August 31 by AAA593(op): 2:51pm On Aug 25, 2020
The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, fixed August 31 to deliver judgments on two separate appeals that are seeking to nullify the election of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

A seven-man panel of Justices of the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Ibrahim, okayed the appeals for justice after all the parties adopted their final briefs of argument.

The appeals were brought before the apex court by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its governorship candidate in the state, Musa Wada, and the Social Democratic Party, SDP, and its candidate, Natasha Akpoti.

The appellants alleged that governor Bello of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was not validly elected by the majority of lawful votes cast.
They prayed the Supreme Court to set aside the concurrent judgments of both the Kogi State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal and the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which declined to void the return of governor Bello by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as a winner of the gubernatorial contest.

Cited as Respondents in both appeals were INEC, governor Bello, and the APC. Meanwhile, the CJN led panel, dismissed a third appeal that was brought against governor Bello by the Democratic People’s Party, DPP, after it was withdrawn by counsel to the party, Mr M.S. Ibrahim.
The panel stressed that the appeal was a “worthless academic exercise”, noting that the party fielded an underaged candidate that was 31 years old as at the time of the election.

It further awarded a cost of N200, 000 against the DPP. It will be recalled that the tribunal had in a two-to-one split decision on May 23, affirmed governor Bello’s election.

Whereas two Justices of the three-member panel tribunal, dismissed the petition by Wada and the PDP, a third member of the panel gave a dissenting judgment that upheld the petition and ordered a fresh election in Kogi State.

In their majority verdict, Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Kashim Kaigama and a member of the panel, Justice Baraka Wali, held that the petitioners failed to by way of credible evidence, substantiate their allegation that governor Bello’s election was not in substantial compliance with both the Constitution and the Electoral Act.

The duo equally agreed that the petitioners were unable to prove any ground of their petition to warrant the nullification of the outcome of the election.

However, in his dissenting judgment, Justice Ohimai Ovbiagele, upheld the petitioners’ case and nullified election results in seven out of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.

Justice Ovbiagele went ahead and sacked governor Bello by declaring that he was not the winner of the governorship election, having failed to secure the majority of lawful votes and the required constitutional spread.

Meantime, in a unanimous judgment on July 4, the Court of Appeals in Abuja dismissed all the petitions and upheld the verdict of the tribunal that affirmed governor Bello’s election.

A five-man panel of the appellate court led by Justice Adamu Jauro held that the appeals that were lodged by both the PDP and SDP candidates lacked merit.


INEC had on November 18, declared Bello of the APC as the winner of the Kogi governorship election.
She ordered INEC to conduct a fresh election in seven local governments within three months.

The Returning Officer, Ibrahim Garba, who is the Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, declared that Bello polled the highest number of votes in the election with 406,222 to defeat Wada of the PDP who scored 189,704 in the election.

PoliticsBayelsa: ANDP Disowns Tribunal Judgment Nullifying Election by AAA593(op): 6:47am On Aug 24, 2020
The Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party (ANDP) has distanced itself from the petition that led to the nullification of the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa State by the election tribunal.
Besides, the party had vowed to contest the Judgment of the tribunal at the Court of Appeal as an interested party.
The state governorship election tribunal sitting in Abuja had in a split judgment of two to one nullified the election and ordered the National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election in the state.
Two members of the tribunal in their majority judgment held that the INEC was wrong to have excluded the ANDP and it’s candidate from participating in the election.
Governor Douye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has since lodged a 12 grounds of appeal asking the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal to set aside the majority judgment of the tribunal.
Meanwhile, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party led by James Pere Femowei has dissociated itself from the judgment saying the party did not file any petition challenging the outcome of the Bayelsa gubernatorial election held on November 16, 2019.
Speaking at a press conference at the weekend, the National Chairman of the party, Femowei who was flanked by the party’s national Secretary, Quadri-Adu Kehinde said both the ANDP Bayelsa State and National level did not sue INEC, the PDP nor governor Douye Diri
He disclosed that the “purported Chairman of ANDP, Charles Ogboli who has been parading himself as the Chairman of the party had been expelled from the party since December 8, 2019.
“Reasons for this expulsion are well documented in a report submitted to the Election and Party Monitoring (EPM) unit of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC on December 12, 2018.
“Therefore, Chief Charles Ogboli does not have the locus standing to sue on behalf of ANDP having been constitutionally expelled by a comfortable 2/3 majority of members of the National Executive Council of the party, guided by the party constitution and which action was known to INEC.
“Suffice to say that Chief Charles Ogboli did not contest his expulsion at that time and until date he has not done so.
“ANDP Bayelsa State did not present any candidate for the purpose of contesting November 16, 2019 governorship election, as it had earlier adopted Senator Douye Diri of the PDP.
“The National Working Committee (NWC) or state Exco did not attend any purported ANDP primary in Bayelsa before the election. How, where, when, which and how was the primary held without the involvement of the party organs in the state? Barrister Ogboli should thus produce the list of members who attended the primaries, or, INEC can equally produce the attendance list of the National Working Committee members and the state Exco who were present at the ANDP primaries.”
Femowei noted that the purported ANDP candidate and the presumed deputy withdrew from the suit when the full extent of the charade was brought to their notice. Why Chief Ogboli is maintaining this solo course of deception is open to your interpretation.
According to him, the NWC which is responsible for conducting primary elections at states and local government levels, had at no time mandate Chief Ogboli to field candidates for the Bayelsa election since he had been rightly expelled for several acts of gross misconduct.
The factional group said it was ready to approach the Court of Appeal with an application to be joined as an interested party in order to challenge the Judgment of the tribunal through a notice of preliminary objection.
On why its action is coming after the judgment of the tribunal, Femowei said “we did not know about the petition at the tribunal. There were so many petitions at the tribunal and no member of the party Exco knew that ANDP was one of the petitioners at the tribunal.
Femowei added that the ANDP case was just at the bottom of the list of petitioners and know that we got to know, we are making ourcase right now.
“And it is not too late because there is still the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court and we are going to the Court of Appeal to make our case as an interested party and we have facts to back our claims.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had explained that the nomination for the election was invalid while the party did not exercise its right guaranteed in the Fourth Alteration to the constitution by filing its suit within 14 days of the accrual of the said right.
Okoye recalled that the ANDP was one of the political parties that signified its intention to contest the Nov. 16, 2019, Bayelsa governorship election.
He said that the party conducted party primaries and submitted the name of one Peter David as its Deputy Governorship candidate.
“As at the time of the submission of the name of the said candidate, he was 34 years-old, contrary to Section 177(b) of the constitution that makes it mandatory for a candidate for such office to attain the age of 35 years to be eligible to contest the election.
“In the candidate’s statutory declaration of age and affidavit attached to his form, the party stated that he was born on Feb. 10, 1985.
“On Sept. 13, 2019, the commission wrote to the party drawing their attention to the constitutional age requirement of 35 years for Governorship/Deputy Governorship candidates as stipulated in Section 177(b) of the constitution.
“The commission also informed them of the invalidity of their nomination for the Nov. 16, 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa State,” he said.
Okoye also recalled that on Sept. 21, 2019 and in response to the letter of the commission dated Sept. 13, 2019, the ANDP wrote the commission acknowledging the invalidity of its nomination and forwarding the name of one Miss Inowei Janeth as their new Deputy Governorship candidate.
“On Sept. 27, 2019, the commission informed the party that the deadline for the submission of nominations as provided for in the Timetable and Schedule of Activities released by the Commission on May 16, 2019, was Sept. 9, 2019.
“The commission also informed the party that since they did not submit a valid nomination, they couldn’t validly substitute any candidate.
“Consequently the name and logo of the party did not appear and was not reflected in the ballot paper.
“It is pertinent to note that the party did not exercise its right guaranteed in the Fourth Alteration to the constitution by filing its suit within 14 days of the accrual of the said right as the issues canvassed are pre-election issues.

Despite the fact that the judgment will not stand, the judgement of the court will in no way favour the All Progressive Congress. The reason is that the supreme court previously disqualified the candidacy of The APC candidate David Lyon because his running mate presented certificates which had multiple names. so despite the judgement, and even if the subsequent judgement by the appeal courts and supreme court ask for fresh polls which I so strongly doubt, APC will not still participate.

You might ask, what if they conduct a fresh primary or replace David Lyon's running mate? As in the case of Victor Umeh vs Uche Ekwunife over the Anambra central senatorial election 2015. Ekwunife was disqualified and PDP didnt present a new candidate in the rescheduled fresh election which Senator Victor Umeh won. So in this bayelsa case, It is not lawful,the period for submission and replacing of names of candidate for the election has since been concluded so no new name can be submitted apart from ANDP but appeal and supreme court will fling the majority judgment away. That majority judgment cannot rubbish our constitution

By David Tobi Oyesowo Esq

Many activities prelude the conduct of elections. These activities are varied in dimensions as they range from declaration of interest by eligible candidates under a preferred political party, to the struggles that permeate the primary elections, and finally to the great battle of the titans that will eventually crown the winning candidate, which is the main election.


These activities are not without their dramas and intricacies. One of the intricacies is the avoidable occurrence that shook the whole country with the Supreme Court Judgment in the Bayelsa Election, on the eve of the swearing in of Mr. Lyon. This judgment no doubt shook the country with wild applause and condemnation from different opinion givers.



The judgment, not only shook the country, it redefined the political landscape in the oil rich state, as it ushered in “a new order” other than what the electorate bargained for.

Be that as it is may, that is gone.

However on 17th August, 2020, the tribunal sitting in Abuja handed down her judgment, and nullified the election of Mr. Diri and ordered a fresh election to be conducted within 90 days. The tribunal predicated her judgment on the ground that, the ANDP Logo was omitted on the ballot in the February Election.

The position of the law is clear concerning the grounds for an election to be nullified as contained in Section 138 of the Electoral Act. One of the salient grounds is that the petitioner must have been unlawfully excluded from the election. A ground which the ANDP prayed for and was upheld by the Honorable Court (tribunal). See Section 285(2) of the 1999 CFRN As Amended.

Interestingly, this judgment has revived the hope of party faithfuls on the likely comeback of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress who was the initial winner before tragedy struck.

It is imperative to state that the judgment handed down yesterday by the tribunal is subject to an appeal up to the Supreme Court by the affected parties and without prejudice to the right of the affected party, I wish them well.

However, assuming without conceding that the Supreme Court upholds the judgment of the tribunal and holds that “fresh” election should be conducted within 90 days, the question is, “Does APC stand a chance?”

This has made me to look for the meaning of the word “FRESH” in the Law Dictionary which means “a course just starting”.

It is imperative to also bear in mind that according to the INEC Guidelines and Electoral Act particularly section 33, political parties can only make replacement of their candidates within a period of 30days which has since lapsed. This above position will be the arguments and opinion of some persons as regards the judgment and by this position, the APC has been shut out.

However, the jurisprudence of law is to enable lawyers to think outside the box and in this case, I will appraise the meaning of the word “fresh”.

In the legal parlance, it means DE NOVO, which means starting fresh, or over again. In BABATUNDE .V. PAN ATLANTIC SHIPPING AND TRANSPORT AGENCIES LTD & ORS (2007) LPELR – 698-SC, the Supreme Court holds “De Novo” as ‘New’, “a fresh beginning” “a start”.

Per Muhammed JSC said the consequence of a De Novo is as if nothing had “existed”.

Similarly in OBINWENBI .V. CBN (2011) LPELR -2185 (SC) PER RHODES VIVOUR JSC held that fresh is to start DE NOVO, or to start all over again.

In other words, where fresh election is ordered as in this instance, it is assumed that the earlier elections and proceedings will be jettisoned and a new course of event will be allowed to flow. If this position is upheld, with the conduct of fresh election, it will open the gate for APC and its candidates to participate in the election.

It is necessary to state as well that court orders must be expressed to avoid imputations from litigants, where the orders contained in the judgment do not expressly state that the APC and its candidate should be exempted, there is nothing stopping INEC from allowing APC to participate in the elections, more so that the Supreme Court Judgment that sacked Mr. David Lyon was based on a pre-election matter.

Thank you for this.a big gbam to you.he knows diri will certainly lose hence he is hanging on to issues that are totally irrelevant to the case.inec at no point ever questioned the primaries of andp,their issue was just the underage candidacy which they have no power to act on except by a court order.

Even a child knows that pdp has bribed the state chapter of andp but unfortunately electoral issues are handled by the national chapter not state chapter and the national chairman is championing the case.
Even if the party never conducted primaries,it is too late to bring that up as it is statute barred.the issues before the court are?
1) does inec have the power to exclude any Party that breaches constitutional provisions?
2) is the case statute barred? Did andp file within 21 days or not?
3) is the matter a pre election matter or not
under section 285(9) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, the party, ought to have within 14 days after it got the notification from INEC, gone to a Federal High Court to challenge it.

Yes of course.
Also, the affidavit to INEC in support of Inowei’s personal particulars gave her date of birth as 26th November 1984. The implication is that she only attained the age of 35 on 26th November 2019—ten days after the election that was held on 16th November 2019. Therefore, even the woman whose name was sent to substitute an ineligible deputy governorship candidate was also ineligible!”

During cross-examination....the National Chairman of the Party was asked to produce the sheet for the Party's Primaries....he didn't have it.
