KINGinVAHALA:
Victor Moses was born and he also grew up in Benin city, this isn't something I was told but what I know because I know him and his family. His family house is located in a place in Benin city called 2nd east circular road by saint savior. He spent most of his footballing life playing for a Benin city club called B.J Fc, same club players like Isaac Success, Ederson Uwa Echiejile, Stanley Okoro, Obanor and many others also played for. I was also a player for B.J Fc before my footballing career was halted after sustaining a 3years knee injury. Moses was in Benin before the beginning of this season and he gave B.J Fc 10 balls.

WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, AND HE IS WITH ME, SAYS SHERIFF AS APPEAL PANEL TODAY DISMISSED ALL THE CASES FILED BY MAKARFI AGAINST JUSTICE ABANG'S RULINGS:

Reports reaching my desk from the Special Appeal Panel constituted to hear and determine the appeals filed by Makarfi and Co, under the urgent matter of time.

For the court to hear and deliver ruling in the cases bordering on Ondo State PDP candidature and jurisdiction of Federal High Court Abuja's rulings, restrained them from taking any action on behalf of the party.

Thus, in today Thursday 10th November, 2016, judgement, the Appeal Panel headed by Justice Saulawa, delivered it's rulings on the seven motions before it, filed by Makarfi and his team.

1. The first ruling, their Lordships granted Makarfi's application and dismissed Sheriff's prayers which says that "the Panel lacks jurisdiction to hear and entertain the matter, as such they should dismissed themselves, from further hearing the matter" but the court ruled that, "it has jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter, thereof".

2. The justices granted Jegede's application to be allowed as an interested party in the Ondo State PDP matter? Which the court granted same.

3. The court also ruled that the decision within which the trial court based it's judgement lacks merit, because Jegede was not a party in the matter, as such the ruling of the lower court can not be binding on him. As such he must be allowed to join for fear hearing, and that the court should not shut it's door on such a person who showed all documents that he under goes the electoral processes by the lower court and having substituted his name with Barr. Jimoh Ibrahim by INEC. Therefore, he is granted the right to appeal.

4. It should be noted that, the appeal by Jegede, not to substitute his name by INEC, was accordingly struck out, as their lawyer announced the withdrawal of the motion, stating that it was over taken by event, since, INEC has already make it's decision, by removing his name.

However, it was based on the above first three rulings, that Makarfi and his supporters goes to the press, without waiting to hear from the court's ruling regarding the remaining matters, were quick to tell the whole world that "Jegede has won the case and that he is now the PDP candidate for Ondo State.

Hence, in what seems like they placed the cart before the horse, all the matters appealed by Makarfi, against the decision of Justice Abang, were adequately struck out by the three Penal Judges,who ruled as follows :

1. The appeal by Makarfi to substitute the papers already filed seeking to set aside all the decisions taken by Justice Abang against his Care Taker Committee, was struck out, on the grounds of abused of court process.

2. The appeal by Makarfi to set aside all the rulings delivered by Justice Abang, was also struck out, on the bases that it is an interlocutory appeal, which must sought the leave of the trail court.

3. The motion seeking to filed another processes in addition to the ones already filled, has also been dismissed, by their Lordships, on the ground that, they have to withdraw the current processes before the court, which their lawyer did, hence the matter was struck out on that ground too.

Therefore, on what was at the beginning seems like a victory to Makarfi and his supporters, turned out to be a defeat surfered once again in the hands of Sheriff, who hit them below the belt.

The fact remains that, all matters regarding the leadership of the PDP, have to be returned to Justice Abang's court for final judgement, as to who is the Substantive National Chairman of PDP.

Because, the original matter that emanated from the Federal High Court Lagos Division, has not been set aside nor appealed against, and the appealing date have already elapsed. Hence, any pronouncement by Justice Abang, STANDS.

And, in today's judgement by the Appeal Panel, there was no mention of any directive for INEC whatsoever by the Appeal Court, to substitute Barr Jimoh Ibrahim, or any directive for INEC on the next line of action on the Ondo PDP matter.

Thus, the Appeal Panel, only says that "Jegede's prayers have been granted and that now he has the right to appeal against INEC and PDP as an interested party.

Till we meet in the Federal High Court in Abuja, for further judgement on who leads PDP and when his tenure ends.

Always stay on parth of justice and remain blessed. To God be the glory.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has named businessman Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the November 26 governorship election.

Mr. Ibrahim’s name was posted on an INEC notice board in Akure as well as on the commission’s website. This implies that until a superior court gives a contrary judgment, Eyitayo Jegede, the candidate of the Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the PDP will not be accepted as the party’s candidate.

A court order from an the Ondo State High Court on Wednesday restrained INEC from recognizing Mr. Ibrahim as the candidate of the PDP pending the determination of the substantive suit before the court.

The Ondo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje, however,  on Thursday night that Mr. Ibrahim was approved as candidate based on an order from the Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Okon Abang. Mr. Abang had on October 14 declared Mr. Ibrahim the true candidate of the PDP.

On Thursday, Mr. Abang rejected a plea by Mr. Jegede seeking to be allowed to appeal the October 14 court judgement. It is based on these two court rulings that INEC approved Mr. Ibrahim as the PDP candidate.

“We received a court order from the High Court in Akure and that was yesterday(Wednesday), but there was a subsisting one by Justice Abang today(Thursday), that is what happened,”

Mr. Agbaje said. Asked if another court order can upturn the situation, Mr. Agbaje said INEC would have no choice but to drop Mr. Ibrahim if another superior order comes in favour of Mr. Jegede.

“That is why we put in front of the name ‘court order,’ to show that the name was picked as a result of an order of the court,” he said.

“The situation will continue that way until the matter is decided by the Supreme Court if the parties choose to proceed to the apex court.”

The commissioner said the politicians had brought themselves into a tight corner, noting that instead of going to the Court of Appeal, they were jumping from one high court to the other.

“Now they have to go on appeal at a higher court,” he said.

“They are the ones undoing themselves and like I said, we do not have any candidate. We will only abide by the laws guiding the process.”

The Op said my mind in one of the tread created by Tonye...
I simply said..If you rely on his post and treads to make assumption of who he is..what u can simply understand at the end is ...The guy is like a flip of a coin.... His post are so contradicting.... But I think one word for him is a Sophisticated writer like people like FFK...Who have many faces.

awayeyebundle:
....No court in the World can accelerate court hearing without proper investigation...So Nigeria is not exception..So on Wether Jimoh Ibrahim will Appeal the court Order or not...I strong believe that Appeal court verdict was on one side...

DropShot:
I just finished reading that report and NOWHERE in it, it was stated the Appeal Court will deliver judgement in one week or before election. The only specific directive from the panel is for Jegede team to serve all respondents in the appeal within three days of its decision.

As it is, judgement may be dispensed before the election but it is not guaranteed.

DropShot:
The difference in our position is that while I doubt a decision will be reached before election, you are sure the case will be resolved before then.

No need to argue further. In about 10 days from now, we will see the outcome. No need to fight brother.

DropShot:
I asked for the link to the claim the Appeal Court has said tit will deliver judgement next week or before the election.

....Am not hear to insult or castigate anybody but to let u know that 8yrs Mimiko have governor the state what is achievement after debt of unpaid salaries..imagine derivative of Oil producing state..All this Mimiko agenda is Selfish why Jegede at all cost..I school in Ondo,graduate here in Akure..so I know what am saying....To covered his atrocities for emblezzment

.......U are joker Jimoh Ibrahim will win his LG not only but win the election Oga mark my words...

awayeyebundle:
......Nigerian Judge are not sincere in making decision but on one side to Jegede..There is something fishing about the verdict of the Appeal court.Why court always contradict itself NJC said Sheriff is the authentic of Chairman of PDP,now Appeal court said Markaffi/Mimiko/Jegede should filed a motion against the authentic Chairman of PDP Sheriff/Jimoh....Where are we going Nigeria?.....Our judge are laughing stock to themselves

modath:
^^^^^^

I don't want to get into any long drawn out argument that will disintegrate into name calling... Nope.. If the main article preceding the comments isn't good enough, 26th is just 11 days away, everything will be clear then.

seunmsg:
I don't think Jimoh Ibrahim's lawyers are fools. They will file so many technical jargon to delay the appeal judgement. They may even file an appeal to the supreme court against the leave of appeal granted by the appeal court. If they do that, they will ask the appeal court to wait for the supreme court to decide the matter before hearing and ruling on Jegede's appeal.

Saraki has shown everybody that if you have the money to employ good lawyers, you can stall the judicial process for as long as you want. We have just 16 days to the election, it's not really pretty good for Mimiko and Jedege despite the little victory they achieved yesterday.

modath:
A little birdie whispered (i can't swear, just passing it on) that they had some judges on lock down that were supposed to invalidate the ruling but things went awry someway somehow... Another thing we should consider is that till this very moment, some still don't want to accept that Sheriff's faction ranks higher on the legal pedestal... Let's watch things unfold..

Good morning... Baawo ni? Take care.

bejeiodus:
The author of the article raised some valid points but he failed to acknowledge that the case can be fast tracked. Counsel to Jegede has applied for an accelerated hearing which would ensure speedy adjudication. It is still a puzzle why Jegede, a senior advocate, waited this late before he challenged the substitution of his name with Jimoh's name in court.
