Not as patchy as obi certificate

The 16 sacked members of the Plateau State House of Assembly, under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have approached the Court of Appeal, seeking to set aside the earlier judgement of the same court that nullified their elections.


DAILY POST recalls that the Court of Appeal had nullified the election of all the PDP lawmakers in the State Assembly on the ground that their party lacked structure to sponsor candidates in the election.

However, the sacked legislators have insisted that they are still members of the House following the Supreme Court’s judgement affirming the election of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, whose case was also nullified at the Court of Appeal.


They believe that the Supreme Court’s judgement has vindicated them.

The sacked lawmakers, including Bala Fwanje Ndat and Datugun Paul Naankot, among others, in their motion on notice, with suit No: CA/J/33M/2024 and CA/J/31/M/2024, said pursuant to order 6 rules 1 of the Court of Appeal, 2021, they should be reinstated into the House.

This was part of their reliefs presented by their counsel, Garba Paul, SAN, who argued that both the election tribunal and the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter.


The sacked legislators said their ground as contained in the motions were predicated upon the fact that, “the judgement of the Court delivered on the 24th day of November, 2023, is a nullity.”

They are seeking “An order setting aside the decision of this Honourable court in appeal No. CA/J/EP/PL/SHA/62/2023, Dagogot Karyt Owen & Anor Vs Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), & Ors on 24th November, 2023, per E.O Williams-Dawodu, Abdul-Azez Waziri and E.O Abang, JCA.”

According to them, the Supreme Court judgement that validated the nomination and sponsorship of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, suffices that the Court of Appeal should set aside its earlier judgement.


DAILY POST recalls that the lawmakers had made an attempt to return to the House of Assembly, a move that nearly triggered a political crisis in the state.

At the moment, members of the APC who are beneficiaries of the Court of Appeal judgement are yet to be sworn-in by the Speaker of the House, Gabriel Dewan Kudagbena.

The Speaker hinged his decision on conflicting court orders.

3. Compulsory Electronic transmission of results

The bill cites an amendment to Section 60, Sub-section (5) of the Electoral Act 2022.

The presiding officer shall transfer the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the Commission.

The lawmaker held that the section as it stands is vague and interpreted differently by our Courts hence proposes;

The presiding officer shall transfer and/or transmit the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot ELECTRONICALLY.

Your thoughts?

MrProlific95:
All these protest against Tinubu are sponsored by northern politicians, what do they stand to gain?

In my honest opinion, they stand to gain nothing and they cannot bring Tinubu government down.

Is there any Igbo Nobel Laurette? I stand to be correct but I dont think there is, Chimamanda is not even close. Although Soyinka can be a clown sometimes, that wont erase is legacy and exceptional brilliance

Nvestor02:
Hmmm, Tinubu keep proving it that he want betterment for Nigerians. I know that this estate would be so cheap for the people to afford.

Housing is big part of good governance. Under his leadership, the State allocation has increased by 41 percentage. But there no infrastructure in our states that match the amount of money they are now receiving.

Instead of blaming all, the werey people will single handed the president for all faults.

yarimo:
Nigerians are lucky and happy with president TINUBU style of leadership, haters and enemies of progress want protest of violence.

Afospecialk:
That's why Soyinka achieved what the entire Igbos writers could not achieve 🤣🤣😀😀🤣

For those of you that don't understand English, the man said they have sold your crude oil in advance and pocketed the money, and aso you people should exercise patience and remain hungry for the next six months, or six years

My advice to you is to buy a small bowl, relocate to your street junction and start begging, as the state governor is passing with other politicians, they will be dropping change money for you to chop.

BabaO2:
You are a chronic ethnic bigot and simple thinker
To save Nigeria from what if I may ask? People like you will never allow Nigeria to get the desired solutions..
When 75kobo equalled 1 dollar what happened , did Nigeria economy boom, did people cry or not?
Nigeria problem is systemic issue, and this is the only regime that is addressing and dismantling that corrupt system in so many ways, such as removal of susidy, allowing Naira to determine its value rather than padded economy with many loopholes of stealing, removal of NNPCL soley responsibility of selling crude oil without vetting by CBN

Moderators should be patriots, not biased and sentimental people. why should this be on first page

Tap0lane:
Where did I ever blame Obi ?
That nonentity foolish bastard is too worth n insignificant for me to blame for anything in this whole wide world.

It matter little if you wail to death or not.

Next election I will still vote Bola Ahmed Tinubu and not the Pandora Criminal Peter Obi.

Tjra:
They are old now. I would advise you and your kinsmen continue from where they stopped.

Nigerians need vibrant people like you. You are free to lead the protests.

APCNig:
Those are all old men who have been fighting for you for decades, when are you going to start fighting for yourself and your children?

You are a disgrace to Nigeria's youths.
