Electoral Act: Appeal Court Restrains AGF Malami, Others From Frustrating Appeal

The Court of Appeal has restrained the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami and others from taking steps to frustrate the hearing of an appeal against a judgment mandating the AGF to delete Section 84 (12) from the amended Electoral Act.

A three-member panel of the court, led by Justice Rita Nosakhare Pemu, in a ruling, granted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) permission to appeal, as an interested party, against the March 18, 2022 judgment by Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court in Umuahia.

The Appeal Court, in the ruling delivered by Owerri division on April 7, 2022, also granted accelerated hearing in the appeal.

The ruling was on a motion marked: CA/OW/87m/2022 filed by the PDP, with Chief Nduka Edede (plaintiff in the suit decided by Justice Anyadike) and the AGF as respondents.

It reads: ” Leave is hereby granted the applicant (PDP) to appeal as person interested in this appeal – CA/OW/87/2022.

“Due to the exigencies of this appeal and its constitutional colourisation, there is need to hear this matter expeditiously.

“Accordingly, the appellant is hereby given up to Tuesday 12th of April, 2022 to file its notice of appeal and the parties are to file their respective briefs of arguments within three days from the date of service of the notice and record of appeal on the respondents.

“There shall be a further three days given to the appellant to file a reply.

“Parties should desist from taking any step to frustrate the hearing of the appeal.

“The matter is adjourned to the 4th of May, 2022, for the hearing of the appeal.

“Fresh hearing notice to be issued on the 2nd to the 12th respondents.”

The National Assembly has also indicated its intention to formally appeal the judgment by Justice Anyadike.

Justice Anyadike had, in the March 18 judgment in the suit by Edede, marked: FHC/UM/CS/26/2022 held that Section 18(12) of th amended Electoral Act is unconstitutional and should be struck down.

The judge noted that sections 66(1)(f), 107(1)(f), 137(1)(f) and 182(1)(f) of the 1999 Constitution already stipulated that government appointees seeking to contest elections are only to resign at least 30 days before the election.

She held that any other law that mandates such appointees to resign or leave office at any time before the 30 days provided in the Constitution was unconstitutional and void to the extent of its inconsistency with the clear provisions of the Constitution.

Justice Anyadike then ordered the AGF to delete the said Section 18(12) from the amended Electoral Act.

Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act provides: “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”

The PDP has already filed a separate suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja in which it is challenging among others, President Muhammadu Bujari’s request that the National Assembly alters the provision of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act.

The case marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/247/2022, now before Justice Inyang Ekwo has been adjourned till April 28 for hearing.

Indispensable85:
Hahahahahahahaha......you know how nairaland is my brother. Sometimes I just laugh at some people here. Their ignorance is really laughable. An obi or wike is just a walk over for the Apc. The pdp don't have the southern material to mount any serious challenge against the Apc. Their best chance is with Atiku. This is the bitter truth. I was laughing when wike was ranting about how he'll take power from the Apc if given the pdp ticket. I pray he gets it. Lol........

Obi or wike by 2pm election don finish. Like you said it's not a class prefect election.

2 pm is too far, by 10am NW, NW, SW, NC result would have been concluded. Let SS, SE bring in their 100% voter output result

seunmsg:
Ayodele or whatever is definitely on the payroll of Atiku. He’s the most stupid and irresponsible prophet in Nigeria after Sule. Such a pity shepples still attend his church.


freshkpomo

Come out straight You want Wike to win the primary right. Then Tell your APC to support his primary campaign naaaaa.

Truthisunique2:
politics is local average aboki is only involved in the two most viable party

If atiku decamps he would go and try in a smaller party his loyalists across adamawa north east would only be splitting precious votes when they would get nothing in south

Same thing with kwanwaso in north west, both PDP and apc southern candidate can battle for the 30% 30% guaranteed votes from north

When it now comes to south I don't see Yoruba flying apc flag, probably tinubu moves to sdp and split his people vote

Only PDP apc would have a better average across board and only PDP can secure two strong block votes in south

I am talking realistically, if apc gives vice to north is tambuwal that won APC not strong enough in northwest

Are you removing buhari Support for APC candidates
What you need to know is that, as it is Wike cannot be an option if PDP is to dislodge APC come next year

garfield1:
Orrr.apart from Enugu,apc has penetrated all pdp states.they even won bayelsa if not for the court.see crs that used to be pdp totally,it is now 50 50

Bayelsa election case a case of revolt.

fergie001:
It was finalised yesterday. Someone who knows me from NL here reported me. The Deputy is from Arochukwu (I mean grandpas). I don't want to say more abeg, just upset!

Na wa hoooo.

Please stay safe hooo

fergie001:
The last time I made a statement about Abia PDP I got threatened from Villa. I am not happy please.

Why the threat.

Good evening long time no see

garfield1:
We are saying the same thing.if you look at the guber polls in the northwest and most part of Muslim north east objectively,it will be a walkover for apc except pdp wins presidency.

Again,ebonyi and crs are states that look like remaining in apc if pdp do not act fast.rivers,delta,aks,abia are states that PDP will retain except the tamper with the zoning arrangement esp rivers and abia.hope might not be popular but that man looks like retaining his seat

Presidency election will change all calculations except where candidates are more determined and had a touch with the citizen's

So in summary, it's still a year ahead.

A lot will change most especially the primaries

garfield1:
Kano; with the defection of kwankwaso from pdp,apc will likely or easily win the governorship poll in the state.ganduje should install a successor...

Katsina: the apc will easily retain the state.

Zamfara; bello matawalle will easily be reelected.
Kaduna: the apc will likely retain his state with senator uba sani likely to pick the ticket.
Kebbi; apc will likely retain the state although there is a struggle between who will win the right to install a successor between bagudu and aliero factions...
Jigawa; another state apc will retain with the ticket being fought for by senator hadejia,farouk adamu etc

Yobe: mai- mala buni will retain his seat
Borno; walkover for zulum
Bauchi; with governor bala contesting for presidency,he will be distracted from his guber ambition.votes from hon dogara's LGA made him governor but now,dogara is in apc and in 2019,the apc were divided and conspired with pdp to fail then governor abubakar.I. see apc regaining this state..

Gombe; despite stiff resistance from pdp's gwamna and nafada,governor yahaya will be reelected.
Taraba; pdp should retain the state if they zone it to taraba north. If they dont and APC abide by zoning,it will be a 50 50 fight..
Adamawa: incumbent governor fintiri will be reelected despite stiff res instance from apc..

Niger: it will be a stiff fight especially as both parties will zone to Zone A dominated by the Nupes.if nasko picks pdp ticket,it is advantage apc...
Kwara; incumbent governor abdulrazak will get reelected despite feeble attempts from the lai and saraki camps.
Nasarawa; the incumbent will stroll to victory.
Benue; this is a complex state with complicated system.it is 50 50.
Kogi; whoever yahaya bello anoints will succeed him.
Plateau; both parties having zoned to plateau central,the race will be 50 50 but with plateau pdp being divided between jerry boy and jang,APC might have the advantage and frontrunners are senator dimka,prof sunny tyoden the deputy governor and hon Yusuf gagdi of kanam fed con...

Oyo: with apc factionalized,makinde has the advantage.

Lagos; walkover for apc
Ogun: walkover for apc.other. parties are too weak to challenge.

Rivers: except pdp zone to thee riverine area,apc will take rivers esp as wike attention is on aso rock and he is rumoured to have anointed either Austin opara or emeka woke his chief of staff both fellow ikwerres while the apc has zoned to the riverine area.

Akwa ibom; if governor udom succeeds in imposing umo eno,it will divide pdp and give apc the advantage.
Cross river: with pdp about to zone to the central and APC zoning to the south,apc may narrowly take the state.

Bayelsa; if APC presents David Lyon again,he will humiliate the failed governor diri.

Delta; pdp should retain the state but if they zone the ticket to delta south and APC gives its ticket to DSP agege,it will be an evenly matched battle.

Ebonyi: except pdp zones to ebonyi north,apc will take this state easily.
IMO; despite stiff resistance from ihedioha,smart abdd crafty hope will retain his seat.

Enugu; walkover for pdp
Abia; pdp will win here if they zone the ticket to abia north.anything else will hand the advantage to apc

INEC Will be making use of the BVAD system.

Its a multifunctional integrated device that will serve different layers of purposes for different activities in the process of adding value to the elections in Nigeria.

The all-in-one technology:
i. Serve as the INEC’s Voter Enrolment Device (IVED) during the commission’s voter registration exercise.
ii. It will serve as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for voter accreditation on election day, replacing the Smart Card Readers.
iii. it will serve as the INEC’s Result Viewing Device (IReV Device) which will be used for uploading election results on election day to the INEC Viewing Portal.

IFEANYI UBAH (YPP)

The candidate of the YPP, Ifeanyi Ubah, a seating Senator representing Anambra South, is one candidate many people believe can spring a surprise in spite of the relative unpopularity of his party in the state. Though he won his current senate seat on the platform of the party, until the build up to the current governorship race, the businessman turned politician had did very little to popularize the party beyond his senatorial district.

“He had his eyes on the APC governorship seat all the while. That is why he did not work hard on spreading the structures and popularity of YPP across the state. It was only when he realized he could not snatch the APC ticket that he reversed to the use of YPP. Now not many people in other parts of the state can relate with the party. What he has going for him is his on personal popularity. He is well known in Anambra as a businessman, sports promoter and politician,” a source explained.

Ubah says security will be a major focus if he is elected. “On the security situation in my state, I have a different method that I am going to apply. I am going to apply information technology and information gathering to solve many problems. My constituency asked me to go and see how I can proffer political solution to issues that surround Nnamdi Kanu. I will do that if elected,” he said.

PROFESSOR CHARLES SOLUDO (APGA)

Soludo hails from Isuofia, also in Aguata local government area from the same South. He had tried to govern the state on two occasions but failed in 2010 as PDP candidate and in 2013, when he aspired on the platform of APGA, but was denied the ticket. He is a member of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Economic team and heads Anambra State Vision 2050, launched by Obiano, among others. He is expected to reap from the achievements of APGA government in the state since 2006. The party’s campaigns have been anchored on these.

But the choice of his running mate, Dr. Onyeka Ibezim, is viewed as an imposition on him for selfish reasons. Already, the Anglican community in the state is said to be unhappy with the choice and has thrown its weight to Uba, candidate of the APC. APGA is rooted in all the 21 local government areas in the state. This is an added advantage to Soludo’ aspiration. Nevertheless, Anambra state residents seem to have become tired of APGA due to alleged abandoned projects and failed campaign promises by the incumbent administration.

Also, Soludo’s emergence as the candidate of APGA brought about a yet to be resolved crisis in the party leading to the emergence of three factions. The problems had led to the mass defection of their members to APC and PDP. He has promised the residents to continue the legacy of the Obiano administration and that of APGA, if he is elected on November 6 governorship poll.

VALENTINE OZIGBO (PDP)

Valentine Ozigbo, the candidate of the PDP, is the immediate past Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Transcorp Plc. Though he is new in the murky waters of politics of the State, he has played it like a veteran so far. His emergence as the candidate of PDP was controversial like those of Uba and Soludo, but he has soldiered on. The once solid PDP has been depleted with the top guns in the party decamping to APC, thereby whittling the chances of Ozigbo at the polls.

According to one of the chieftains who joined APC, Sir Chris Chikwelu, the PDP candidate is good and solid, but certain characters think they own the party. Though, he has repeatedly debunked having any godfather in the race, observers believe that it was former governor Peter Obi that made him the candidate of the party. Such insinuations are rife across the state, making it difficult for him to convince some opponents of the former governor to work for Ozigbo.

Read Also: Anambra Election: APC’ll triumph on November 6 – Uba
In less than two years since he joined politics, Ozigbo has built one of the most efficient and impactful political organisations in Nigeria, (Ka Anambra Chawapu (a better and brighter Anambra). His campaign mantra is popular at the grassroots. Analysts believe he made a fine choice in his deputy, Lady Azuka Enemo, an Anglican, a mobilizer from Onitsha, who served two terms as Commissioner for local government in Obi’s government.

His major strengths in the race are his articulation, speech delivery strength and popularity of PDP in Anambra State. But what has weakened him is the division in the party. This disunity has robbed the party of electoral victories on many occasions. He has promised to harness the opportunities that abound in Anambra if elected on November 6.

ANDY UBAH (APC)

Senator Andy Uba, the flag bearer of APC. He hails from Uga, Aguata local government area in the South senatorial zone. He was elected governor in 2007, on the platform of the PDP, but he only lasted for 17 days in office as a result of tenure interpretation case instituted by then governor, Peter Obi. He earlier served as personal aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo for about seven years.

In 2010, Uba was the governorship candidate of the LP losing to Peter Obi, the then incumbent governor but became the Senator for Anambra South later in 2011. He joined APC in 2017. Though his emergence as the APC candidate was controversial, it has been a harvest of political heavyweights from other political parties in the state, joining the APC to help his governorship cause. He enjoys the support of 13 APC governors. Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan are alleged to be supporting him as well.

All the foot-soldiers of the leader of the party in the State and Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, are working for Uba. Emeka Okafor, who is Uba’s deputy, and hails from Nnobi, in Idemili local government area is Ngige’s cousin. Currently, Uba has the support of Senator Stella Oduah, representing Anambra North senatorial zone, having joined APC recently, Senator Joy Emodi and the member representing Onitsha North and South Federal constituency, Linda Ikpeazu, all from PDP. He has also poached some APGA members in the House of Assembly among others. The recent defection of the incumbent deputy governor of the State, Dr. Nkem Okeke of APGAhas further brightened Uba’s chances.

His major weakness is the grassroots. Political observers say he plays Abuja politics more than the local politics of the state but APC is today rooted in every local government area in Anambra State because of the number of defections from APGA and PDP. Another strong contender for Obiano’s seat and former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, the ticket bearer of the ruling APGA. Importantly, he enjoys the backing of Governor Willie Obiano and the APGA government in Anambra which has been in power for almost 16 years making it a difficult task for any political party to dislodge it easily. Besides, they always use the image of late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, to promote APG as an Igbo party.
