@ bolded. I was think of this just this morning. Is it a new trend to demean the person of the judge of a lower court by the superior court?

Even the CJN is not left out in making insinuating statement about lower court judges. During the hearing of Jimoh Ibrahim case by the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Onnoghen while addressing Jimoh's lawyer said "Nwofor, there was only one judgement by YOUR Justice Okon Mbang, why are you having 14 separate appeals from that single judgement?"

The use of 'your' to precede Mbang is quite telling and a strong insinuation.

ojbaba95:
This op is chronically partisan.

No rulings on this case yet as hearing adjourned till Dec. 15

Olaolufred:
The judgements you mentioned are all about ondo elections and pdp leadership in ondo state.

There are still pending cases in appeal court abuja and p/court on national chairmanship seat.

Pls stop. makin me laf....my position is simple since the case is stil in court Sheriff reserves the right to parade himself as anytin he deems fit UNTIL there is a final statement from the courts like the supreme court did in d case of Jimoh and Jegede...so let the courts speak and settle the whole makarfi/sherrif power tussle!

ENZOSCIFO1:
Why is the Makarfi faction not dragging Sheriff and co for contempt of court? Because they know what you don't know. Go and study the supreme Court ruling.

ENZOSCIFO1:
The joke is on you. Read the news not the headline.

There are a faction bro, the supreme Court ruling is restricted to the PDP gubernatorial candidate.The main national issue still stand un-resolved.

The court of appeal has upheld the caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of Ahmed Makarfi, describing the faction led by Ali Modu Sheriff as illegal.

In a judgement on Wednesday, the panel of judges led by Ibrahim Saulawa, set aside the ruling of Okon Abang, a judge of the federal high court Abuja, who declared Makarfi’s faction as “illegal”.

In a ruling on June 29, Abang ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognise any candidate from the Markafi faction.

The judge held that there were two subsisting court orders which recognised Ali Modu Sheriff-led PDP as the authentic representation of the party.

He said that the Makarfi faction only ran to get another ruling after two orders that favoured Sheriff had been given by the court.
However at the appellate court on Wednesday, the three-man panel of judges, while setting aside the judgement described Abang’s ruling as “displaced, most troubling decision of the lower court.”

“It is a gross abuse of section 36 (1) of the constitution, particularly the right to fair hearing,” the panel of judges held.
The panel of judges said while it was unfair that the Makarfi faction of the PDP was not heard at the lower court, the judge did not have the grounds to which he made his ruling on.

Furthermore, the judges said “what was done at the lower court was a charade and a fraud”.
The Makarfi-led faction was recognised by the law and consequently, INEC, at the Edo state gubernatorial election, and most recently, for the Ondo governorship election.

shaqhead:
Not at all! As much as i dislike Sheriff, he still remains a factional chairman of the PDP as no court has ruled on the matter of the PDP chairmanship authenticity!

Yes, Jegede was affirmed by the court as the authentic candidate by the court, this doea not automatically settle Chairmanship tussle!

To all those throwing slurs at sherriff, remember that PDP brought termite infested firewood, why are they complaining now that Lizards have come calling?

Ola64:

In all of these, the most annoyingly daft and naive thing Makarfi's faction of PDP (same faction as Mimiko, Fayose, Wike) did was NOT to have appealed THAT judgement of Justice Okon Abang, which was declared since JUNE 2016! They stupidly sat on their own rights and REFUSED to appeal the judgement until it was affirmed in NOVEMBER 2016 (after 5 MONTHS); a time it was too late! Eyitayo Jegede is a SAN, how he did not know that his faction should have appealed that judgement since June 2016 is baffling! It was as if they were all under a spell, lol!

The summary of PDP's wahala (which by the way has not ended, with the gale of suspensions and counter-suspensions in Ogun, Osun, Kwara, etc) is as follows:

1. Fayose, Wike, and Mimiko made the greatest political mistake of their lives to have invited and imposed Ali Modu Sherriff as National Chairman of PDP! Sheriff had a long history of betrayal. How they did not know that remains a mystery. He was in ANPP but was giving PDP and Obasanjo all the strategies of ANPP! He was instrumental to ANPP Governors' reduction from 10 to about 4 after the 2003 elections. ANPP never recovered from that treachery by Sheriff.

2. PDP lacks internal democracy. All parties have those tendencies, but in PDP, it was/is mixed with impunity and "go to hell" mentality against those they wish to punish. As autocratic as Tinubu was/is, he still knows how to rally his troops and 'beg' them in secret, when required.

3. All parties are corrupt, but the corruption in PDP was/is monumental! They steal raw cash. I attended a session century where Dr. Shamsudeen Usman (Minister of Finance under Yar'Adua and also Minister of Budget and Planning under Jonathan) said that when he was Deputy Governor Operations at the CBN, he was always thoroughly searched upon entering and leaving the CBN vault, but he found it incredible that some persons could just drive in, enter the CBN vault, and cart away billions of US dollars under Jonathan!

4. Jonathan was a gentleman, but was evidently a confirmed weakling! Majority of his appointees took advantage of this human weakness and raped Nigeria to no end.

5. PDP may have to rebrand, change its name and find credible Nigerians to register afresh as members ahead of 2019 , else, that party is gone forever!

nellyelitz:
This shouldn't be a news na....

This Man is a Fool, in fact he is too Foolish to be the National Chairman of any Political party in Nigeria. Here, he seems to talking from his Anus.

Sheriff and Stupidity are Like……

Factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Sen. Ali
Modu Sheriff, has insisted that he remains the national leader of
the party.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday in Abuja, the former Borno State governor maintained that he remains the party’s Chairman until the Port Harcourt division of Appeal Court says otherwise.
The Abuja division of the court had yesterday affirmed the Sen.
Ahmed Makrfi-led committee while describing the Sheriff’s faction of the PDP as illegal.
Reacting to the ruling, Sheriff said, “I’m surprised at some of the
reporting you media people are carrying, the issue in the lower
court, is the issue of governorship of Ondo state.
“That issue is between the state chairmen and the chairmen of
the other group, the court of appeal has not touched anything on who is the leader or who is the substantive national chairman of
the PDP which is the issue in the court of appeal. The Supreme
Court says the court of appeal is to hear that matter.
“If the court of appeal decides that they should hear that matter –
saying Makarfi is the chairman, there is no issue like this, Ali
Sheriff remains the substantive chairman of the PDP until the
court of appeal sitting in Port Harcourt (gives judgement
otherwise) – and the supreme court also ask the court now to go
and hear that matter, therefore the issue of discussion therefore is
between Jegede and Jimoh Ibrahim. We are not party to it. We will abide by any decision of the court, we are law-abiding
citizens.
On the plans of the party to reconcile, Sheriff said, “We will
reconcile, the thing is that being in court does not stop the parties from talking. PDP is one."
