dansuqi ejimatic seanfer....Legal inputs

One of the issues I raised in the morning was the wisdom behind the order purportedly given against Obaseki. by the court. I agree with the judge to hear the two parties involved and decide the case a day before the primary...Let the status cope remain for now

Jimasun:
FHC sitting in Port Harcourt has restrained Governor Godwin Obaseki from participating in the PDP guber primary. The suit was instituted by an aspirant Omoregir Ogbeide-Ihiama asking the court to stop the governor who just decamped to the party from participating in the primaries.

Fear who no fear Nigerian politicians and judiciary

Details later.

. 1 Why did the court give the order when the judge knew the case would be finally determined a day before election? What is the relevance of maintaining the status cope when a temporary order has been given ? 2 Primary election is a party affair but due process must be followed. Faleke vrs APC. However whoever the party declared as winner must take party in the primary processes as follow: 1 purchase of nomination form. 2 screening process 3 taking party in the election. The questions are 1 Did Obaseki obtain the nomination form? Answer is NO The purchase of nomination form has closed already.. It is however not clear if somebody else's form is given to him or the party issued a form for him at the back 2 Did Obaseki take part in the screening ? NO The party has concluded the screening already.A carry go screening was arranged for him later. How he got a nomination form which qualified him for the screening will be explained by the party. Conclusion : The petitioner has a good case challenging the processes of the participation of Obaseki in the election especially when the nomination form and screening have closed.In my opinion Obaseki did not did not undertake due processes leading to his emergence as a PDP contestant..A party must have internal democracy it claims it stands for..APC vrs Marafa Additionally INEC is not involved in the primary election .It is a party affair but INEC is an observer.Also any party that did not submit the name of his flag bearer withing the INEC stipulated time will not take part in the election.INEC reserves the right to do so APC vrs INEC in zamfara. fergie001. senatordave1

To me its seems people don't want to end up in divorce or on any other problems and issues related with marriage any longer.
All that is usually seen are single guys still remaining single for along time.

Or am I dreaming or something

What do you think?

. A lot of factors contribute to the rate of singleness in Africa and Nigerian to be precise. 1.Poor economy. Many men are jobless. They hardly feed themselves let alone feeding another mouths. 2 The educated Nigerians want a better life for . their families .How will this be possible without any job? The still remain single as a result. 3 Divorce and separation rates even discourage many men from marriage. 4 Many who live together today are not married legally so that if there is a problem either of the party can go away.5.Some men have life goals and they want to achieve them before marriages. Results: 1. 3 out of 100 of cases of men and ladies living together are in cohabitation for they want to be free to get out of condition if there is a problem. Remember no legal marriage between them 2 Many children are born without marriages.3 Many men are carrying different ladies to satisfy their sexual urges. . Conclusion : In Africa America and Europe, single parents are increasing daily , divorce rates are alarming , ladies who are still single are in their thousands and it seems this trend will continue as it is.Only God can redeem the situation.

Reports!

. I just dont know how to comment on this report because human lives are involved.I sympathise with their families over the losses. I want to emphasize the fact that family crises are increasing in our society nowadays. The blames in some cases are shared by the husband and wife.Many people living as couple today did not marry each other even when they are having children.For a marriage to have a good beginning a man and a woman must marry each other legally, traditionally or through the marriage act.If after the marriage there is an issue in the marriage family members can still wade in to resolve the crisis.Additionally any cohabition can still end abruptly.Your husband is still free to marry a new wife since there is no marriage between you and him and vice versa.So pls as a lady get hooked legally ..If you dont do this you are just gambling with the man. Conversely many couples have mental crises caused by a lot of factors. like anxiety depression unfulfilled dreams disappointment and increasing family pressures. They all tend to lead to suicide at times. It is true that a family can break up any time even when it is contracted legally but all the parties in a marriage must work together husband wife and even the in laws.We need to save marriages from their downfalls. Issues must be discussed together for restoration of peace.May God save us all.

I have looked into the cases of learned Counsels, Agboriotejoye (Senior Advocate of Nairaland) and Dansuqi (Senior Advocate of Nairaland);
The appellant have brought forward three prayers:-
1. That the Ojezua faction remains the authentic faction of the APC
2. By virtue of the apc constitution and the processes entailed thereof, that Oshiomhole remains suspended.
3. That Giadom remains the authentic Ag National Shiaman of the APC.


I have read this Constitution of the APC in line with previous judgements of higher Courts in...

I accept your judgment

As your lordship pleases!

ogbonti:
guy please make your comments in peace and stop referring to me whenever you add a comment- is this a new way of seeking attention and validation? i guess you must be a 16 year old

please i only comment here freely I am not hoping to carry first on nairaland - if that is what will make you happy - please you win - you are the best - i respect you - thank you stop this your childish behavior it’s becoming irritating - you win Sir - thanks

. With this development the stage is set for the assumption of duty for Oshiomole.Court cases at times as I said two days ago complicate issue.

Dansuqi:
A lot of the pdp fans commenting here did not read the statement or didn't understand it.where is fergie and ejimatic

. There is no vacancy in my opinion too.

AntonVince:
Courts don't interfere. They adjudicate on cases brought before them.

The APC should rather put its house in order.

. it is true my brother.People run to court where they are and the judges whether right or wrong must say something.However in some situations the judges call the parties concern to purse peace with sound advice. Look at Oshiomole now instead of appealing his suspension all he need do is to influence his ward to withdraw his suspension .If this is done he returns his seat immediately.. It seems though that many of them believe in legal resolution.

Olatomiwami:
What remains is for that Giadom to b expelled by Abe group in his ward, since they are the recorgnised ones, I just pity Amaechi, El-Rufai and Fayemi are betrayers of the highest order.

. yes you are right

dokxavi:
His resignation from the APC NWC was ratified by the NWC yesterday, meaning he is no longer an NWC executive as at 17th June, 2020.
How can a non-executive now be granted powers to be acting Chairman of a party?
Justice Bature is funny and is just obviously trying to justify the kickbacks he collected.
It won't stand and I believe that's why the APC powers-that-be are not bothered by him.
Like Obaseki, Giadom and Amaechi will be swatted away like Saraki and Kwankwaso were.
It will only take 3 seconds of an NEC meeting.

. Thank you for your update on his resignation ratified yesterday by NWC.Justice Batture abracadabra holds no water.The judge should have sat down and carefully reviewed the events in the party before making his comic
Jankara market judgment

fergie001:
The NWC granted him a waiver

. He is not procedurally qualified to be the acting Chairman.

Nemere2020:
ejimatic fergie001 & co.......please comman continue

The way at which courts interfere in APC crisis is alarming.Most of these matters can be handled internally They are not court businesses...The petitioner has resigned as acting secretary of the party in order to contest Rivers election.He is not a member of NWC How can a court ask him to be the acting chairman? Is that in the consitution.? This order is ridiculous and stands to be set aside in due course...

fergie001:
I tend to disagree slightly...
Ekiti APC is saying that their members Oni & Adebayo occupied that slot hence it should remain their position.

But their arguments isn't frivolous....they have cited Article 20 of the APC Constitution.
This is Article 20.1(a)
"All Party posts prescribed or implied by this Constitution shall be filled by democratically conducted elections at the respective National Convention or Congress subject, where possible, to consensus, Provided that where a Candidate has emerged by consensus for an elective position, a vote of “yes” or “no” by ballot or voice shall be called, to ensure that it was not an imposition which could breed discontent and crisis."

Ratification of any Officer of the party is backed by a Convention (National or Zonal) or the NEC.

What Ekiti is saying is..Is Ajimobi a product of any of these?

This suit had long been filed even before he was named Ag National Chairman...

So ejimatic....back to you.

. Thank you for the inclusion of Adebayo in Ekiti APC reference.There are two ways of selecting deputy chairman. Both can be inferred from article 20/of the APC.1. Through a national convention 2 In case of emergency and the national convention is not imminent consensus can be used backed with yes or no ballot or voices.Any appointment made will have to be approved by NEC sooner or later. In my opinion Ajimobi emerged from the second way.. The Ekiti APC wants the position returned to Ekiti state.That is why it approached the court for the review of the peocess.

seanfer:
Thanks for the clarification... I think a law should be made to recommend heavy fine against any appellant that try to waste the court's time with unnecessary case.. The Deputy national Chairman is not the birthright of any state. If Ajimobi is from outside SW then I can say APC erred.

I appreciate sir

Exactly ! You are right ! Let me add by saying that some legal practitioners know how to waste their clients money raising hope where there is no hope..That is why we are having frivolous litigation in our judicial system.

Legal implications please

The Ekiti state APC bielieves that since Segun Oni is from Ekiti the new deputy chairman must come from Ekiti.This is the premise of the court case in question filed in February 2020.It mist be noted that the petitioner wants the court to declare the seat Ajimobi is holding vacant and the seat returned to Ekiti.The court has not taken any decision on it till today.In the process of this Ajimobi became the chairman and now an acting charman. Since there has been no injunction against filling in the post, that APC is legally right to appoint Ajimobi as the deputy chairman from the south west. Additionally Section 14 of the APC constitution says if the party chairman is suspended the deputy chairman of the zone where he comes becomes the acting chairman. So his appointment as the acting chairman is constitutional and appropriate.Conversely if a deputy chairman is removed the party can choose a replacement from any state of the geopolitical Zone he comes from.... The challenge against Ajimobi is a waste of time and and a frivolity of judicial process.

Learned silk ejimatic have dissected sections and sections carefully and painstakingly.

Learned silk ejimatic highlighted two provisos which this Court have aligned with subsequent Judgements of the Supreme Court.

The appellant have simply done a shoddy job. I think his representatives have made a firstly unmeritorious case to a dead case.

If I even award a dangerous cost to them, I will sleep well at night.


This application terribly lacks any merit and is hereby dismissed at no cost.


Thank You Ejimatic again

. Always at your service ..uwc

fergie001:
Ejimatic dansuqi agborojietoye.....my question is simple.

Oshiomhole was suspended in Nov 2019 in line with Article 21 of the APC Constitution.
"Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE and the right to fair hearing, the PARTY shall have power to discipline Party Members. The Power shall be exercised on behalf of the Party by the respective Executive Committee of the Party at all levels.".

Executive Committees here are:-
Ward--- Adjudicatory body of first instance
LGA
State
NEC

NB: (NWC isn't among)

Article 21. C(i-x) stipulates in he APC Constitution, methods on discipline of party members.

Permit me to paraphrase...
"If you are suspended or expelled by your party arising from where the case emanated (Ward for example), you have to appeal to the Ward Committee in a maximum 7 days, they have a maximum of 2 weeks to look into it and decide. If you feel you didn't get justice, you go above their heads, to the LG Committee, State & NEC. (NWC not among)."

After that, the Ward Committee will submit to the LG Committee their reports and appeal and all the way up to NEC (no NWC)

Article 21. B(iv)
The Executive Committee of the Party at the level where a complaint or allegation is made shall have original jurisdiction to hear and determine such complaint or allegation provided that the assumption of jurisdiction by such Executive Committee shall not breach the rules of fair hearing.

---After Oshiomhole was suspended, he didn't appeal. The next month he took the case to Court and erroneously withdrew it later, only to file another again 1 month later.----

Article 21. D(v-vi) of the APC Constitution
Any member who files an action in court of law against the Party or any of its officers on any matter or matters relating to the discharge of the duties of the Party without first exhausting the avenues for redress provided for in this Constitution shall automatically stand expelled from the Party on filing such action and no appeal against expulsion as stipulated in this Clause shall be entertained until the withdrawal of the action from Court by the Member.

Each organ of the Party shall have power to remove a Party officer or officers as the case may be from office at that level for failing to discharge his/her responsibilities neglect and dereliction of duty or misconduct during his tenure of office through a vote of no confidence passed against such officer/officers by a two-thirds majority of the members of the appropriate organ and voting subject to such officers right to fair hearing.

The FCT High Court delivered its judgement that Oshiomhole was suspended.

March 04, 2020.....He got a reprieve for Stay of Execution from the CoA.
Before that order came new national officers have been announced.

The Publicity Secretary had said these were decisions reached in January 2020. I agree.


Now the APC Constitution stipulates that for National Officers, ratification should come from the NEC or a National (or mini-National) Convention.

To ratify meaning....Approval or confirmation of a previous contract or other act that would not otherwise be binding in the absence of such approval.

The NEC and Convention hasn't ratified some officers of the NWC.



Part 2 will be the Giadom/Eta fiasco......thank you

. Oshiomole took things for granted on this matter.If he had appealed his suspension immediately within the time frame he would not have had this fiasco at all..He had to accept his fate until he presents his appeal to set yesterday judgement aside at the supreme court. Additionally the NWC is a tool of NEC .In order words the NWC is under NEC .The chairman of the NEC is also the NWC chairman.Any judgement affecting the NEC chairman also affects him as the NWC chairman. I agree with you that some NWC decisions have not been ratified by the NEC or National convention. I think this is done because they know they can be ratified later since there is no time frame for their ratification....The politics of APC will continue because of various interests in the party.

PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
17th June 2020

Edo Governorship: APC Names Primary Election, Appeal Committees
Recognises Aguma as Rivers State APC Chairman
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) rose from a meeting at the Party’s National Secretariat on Wednesday affirming Sen. Abiola Ajimobi as the Party’s Acting National Chairman following the Appeal Court’s ruling affirming the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman and in line with Section 14.2 (iii) of the Party’s Constitution.

Due to Sen. Ajimobi’s unavoidable absence, NWC unanimously appointed the Party’s National Vice Chairman (South South), Prince Hilliard Etta to act on Sen. Ajimobi’s behalf, an action backed by the Party’s constitution which empowers the NWC to appoint one of its members in acting capacity and stipulates that the acting National chairman must be from the zone of the National Chairman.

Also, committees for the Party’s Edo State Governorship Primary Election scheduled for Monday 22nd June, 2020 and Election Appeal scheduled for Wednesday 24th June, 2020 were also named by the party.

Primary Election Committee
1. Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma - Chairman
2. Sen. Ajibola Bashiru – Secretary

Primary Election Appeal

2. Dr. Kayode Ajulo – Secretary

In compliance with the court ruling, our party has recognised Aguma as Rivers State acting Chairman pending when new congresses will be held to elect party executive members at the ward, local government and state levels.

Sixteen members of the NWC attended the meeting held at the Party’s National Secretariat (13 members attended physically and three others joined the meeting online).

I want to seek your opinion on a matter...if I involve dansuqi now e go vex.

. what is the composition of the committee? Who were there?/

joyandfaith:
Registration must pass through recognized state chairman and to nwc. what if ojezua says that registration was fraudulent. screening committee may be decided to be biased because oshiomole has interest in poi. do you think party nec will be wasting time on oshiomole court case? in politics , every man to himself. if you have the stage, music changes. oshiomole not party behind emergence of poi. if oshiomole and obaseki are in good term, do you think poi will decamp? Tinubu is more smarter than you think. Tinubu is already looking for another loyalist in south as chairman. he can even codedly sacrifice oshiomole and careful and lobby for a replacement.it is all about 2023. Gambari new chief of staff is not fan of Tinubu and he is a cunning man. what is going on is more deeper than what we know.

. Nothing is impossible in politics ...I agree with your submission

fergie001:
I am not talking about Oshiomhole who has been suspended.

Ize-Iyamu registered in his ward under the Imuse faction who going by yesterday's judgement is an illegal group.

The party is obviously behind Ize-Iyamu, but it must be a bottom-up approach. He must register from his ward.

The NWC cannot super-impose that. It is now whether the Ward Chairman loyal to Ojezua will give him a membership card.

He has the full support of Asiwaju and not the Presidency. Don't be too in a hurry. The Presidency has been terribly silent for reasons best known to them.

I was saying it here, that the ward is the fulcrum of any politician, some said that's PDP Constitution. I remembered during Jonathan, OUK was cleared by PDPNWC to join the party.

The then Governor who had a frosty relationship with him, made sure the ward didn't give him a membership card. So he wasn't a PDP member until he decamped to the APC.

Oshiomhole has the fundamental rights to be on ground, he isn't a felon...but he has been suspended at all levels in his State (ward, LG & State).

I think the faction loyal to Oshomole was recognized ....If that is the case Iyamu should not have any problem. In fact the other faction of the party did not challenge the selection process.I believe they will work together so as to keep the state for APC.
As for Oshomeole he remains suspended until his case is dtetrmined or supreme court set the judgement aside.

fergie001:
The point there is that with Oshiomhole's suspension, many things will change.

Anselm Ojezua will be Chairman of the State Chapter because his "purported" suspension took place with Oshiomhole presiding. Oshiomhole was already suspended before then.

The State Chapter will most likely insist on voiding Ize Iyamu's waiver. You must become a member from your Ward. Who gave him that and who will give him that?

ejimatic.....help me here.

Registration in the ward can be done anytime without any publicity.It seems Osiomole claimed he has be registered The screening committee must have .seen evidence of this too for only party members can obtain nomination form. As for his suspension pending the determination of his suit the chairman can still appeal the judgement at the SC . Additionally the NWC members of the APC work together and are aware that Osiomole is a strategist who knows how to win Edo for the APC.Also the party is behind the emergence of IseIyamu who appears to hold more weight than other candidates.Thus from all indications Oshiomoke is still on ground.He has the full support of Asiwaju Tinubu and the presidency
