PDP is not petitioning based on whether he restrained Obaseki or not but on the fact that the court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the matter in the first place, based on which the judge would have returned it to the chief judge of the federal high court for it to be reassigned to either the federal high court Abuja or Benin which have jurisdiction to hear the matter. The matter will either struck out or reassigned on Thursday on grounds of jurisdiction. This is despite the fact he did not restrain Obaseki from contesting.

The Court of Appeal in Benin has set aside the order of the Federal High Court from conducting the June 22 Governorship primary using direct mode.

The appellate court also ordered the continuation of the trial at FHC, which will hold on Friday morning brought by the suspended chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on jurisdiction of the court.

On June 8, the Federal High Court presided by Justice Mohammed Umar had restrained the All Progressives Congress from conducting the June 22 governorship primary election in Edo State using direct mode.

But Justice Morenike Ogunwomiju who headed the three-man Justices set aside the order by the lower court, saying the trial judge gave a problematic order that was not sought by the parties.

In the lead judgment in the suit by APC, delivered by Justice Ogunwomiju and backed by Justice Oseji, she said: “The trial judge (Justice Umar) gave a problematic order that was not sought by the parties to the suit. As at the date (June the order was given, the political party (APC in Edo State) had 14 days to organise its governorship primary election. Every judge must be a democrat.

“The appellant (APC) was not given an opportunity to be heard by the trial court. The injunctive order of the trial court of June 8 is hereby set aside. The administrative orders subsist and the issue of jurisdiction should be determined by the trial court.”

In his dissenting judgment in the APC’s suit however, Justice Adumein declared that the injunctive order of FHC ought not to have been set aside, insisting that the appeal was interlocutory, incompetent and should be struck out.

Adumein noted that the trial court did not make any mistake in the matter, in line with Section 285, Sub-section 8 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, adding that court should not decide cases based on sentiments

In the second suit filed by Oshiomhole, the only judgment was read by Justice Oseji, who declared that the appeal lacked merit and it was premature, thereby striking it out.

robosky02:

ospido:
Why have the APC not shopped for Gaidom's replacement since 2018?

Why now?
Na now day break?

Dpharisee:
Giadom already has a valid court directive in his favour. Amaechi and his camp are in control, Jagaban can continue to issue fake news in the name of Ajimobi through his Nation newspaper and nobody cares.
Channels TV news referred to him today as the Acting Chairman and not Ajimobi who is in ICU, wishing him quick recovery

robosky02:
Ok

Dpharisee:
Go to page 2 and see the acceptance to resume duty from APC director of Admin.
He has a valid court directive to serve as Acting Chairman and that's the reason he was granted access to APC HQs

Frankiss44:


Let the court decide

ospido:
Why now?
Where have you been 2018?

Frankiss44:

xukwaa:

slimhomiequan:

Dpharisee:
Nairaland should ban The Nation newspaper reports from FP. They keep posting Fake News.
Mods please look into The Nation newspaper reports before sending to FP

DeleTaller:
Nah there u dey?
APC NWC members are 21 in number.
Chairman suspended remain 20.
Hillard plus other 16=17 had meeting today
17-20=3
All 17 are on the side of the truth.
Giadon is leading the other 2..
Court only suspended the chairman and not the working committee. So whatever decision came before the suspension still stands cos is the agreement of the others. So how can Giadon with the other two now prevail over 17 other members?
Giadon is risking expell. Already his seat is vacant because he went to contest as deputy governor and he had resigned before then. Now is talking of waiver. . But his state party will need to resubmit his name for that position again. Did he do that? NO. They are pushing him and those pushing him will not be able to safe him.
