Dickson approached INEC in 2017 to register his party, the NDC.
INEC for reasons best known to them refused to accept Dickson's application on the flimsy excuse that the NDC logo looked like another registered party's logo .
Dickson took them to court and INEC was stalling using every legal loophole and trick to postpone or adjourn the hearings.
The court got fed up with INEC and called for accelerated hearings.
When INEC could not present a registered party in their records bearing similar logo, they then went to manufacture a fake entity with same logo that was not even representing itself as a political party. INEC claimed copyright infringement as to why they can't register NDC.
The judge requested further information of the entity bearing similar logo as per CAC registration but INEC could not provide this in court.
The court then ruled that INEC had no right to stop NDC from being registered citing copyright infringement of a non existing entity and ordered INEC to register NDC immediately.
The reason INEC is affixing "by court order" next to NDC is because the ruling was retroactively applied to NDC to be registered as at 2017 before the electoral ammended Act of 2022 came into law in 2023.
NDC did not meet the conditions for a new party that will seek registration under the 2023 Act but since they were denied by INEC to be registered on flimsy excuse in 2017, the judge ruled that NDC should be registered under pre 2022 Act since they met all the conditions back then.
This is to avoid other parties taking INEC and NDC to court seeking the NDC being deregistered for not meeting the conditions of being registered as a new party under the ammended electoral Act of 2022.
Hope this explains this to you in the simplest form.
Jokay07: I dey tell you. Let it be known that Pdp was burried in ibadan
Nyesom Wike hammered the last nail into the PDP coffin in Abuja, while Ibadan hosted the ‘burial reception’ at Lekan Salami Stadium. Governor Seyi Makinde and his team completed the ceremony at Sango Cemetery.
Before elections, every Ondo Governor will claim he has finally found investors for bitumen exploration.
Immediately election is over, there would be no sign of investors or investment.
Ondo people have been waiting for investors in bitumen for at least 30 years. Politicians use it to deceive them.
You are very right... Oluwa glass Ifon ceramics Okitipupa oil palm mill These are what ondo politician usually use to cajole the electorate concerning their resuscitation...
Ekaka14: Huge, huge lesson here for Nigeria going into the Angola game... 1.Don't underestimate your opponents at this stage 2. Perfect your own tactical approach to the game 3. Spend some time to study your opponents 4. Line up your formation based on how you strongly perceive the strength of your opposition ( you can change this if things change during play) 5. Get the players to understand what gives them the edge on the field of play.... 6. Don't ignore preparations for penalty shoot-out... 7. Be clinical in front of goal... 8. Avoid emotional tackles because your opponent has been "rubbing you boots" or tactically frustrating you by pulling your jersey, shorts...elbowing....and this can be frustrating but let the referee be the judge...one yellow card will affect your energy...one red can disorganize the team...and we start shouting for Presario's head again 9. Team work, team work...and team work 10. Play for Country, play for self...play for family...play for Africa ...play for the scouts
Hoelujohn: Imagine the federal government paying the salary of state teachers. That's what is happening in states. Pry sch Teachers are meant to be paid by LGA but the state government is the one doing so. What do you expect?
My brother, it's not really like that. The primary school education/teachers is been sponsored by three fathers (federal, state and local govt), this happened as a result of the UBE act... States also domesticate the act (SUBEB). UNTIL WE HAVE TRUE FEDERALISM, THIS AND OTHER PROBLEMS CONTINUES...
