[LIVE UPDATE] Osun Election: Appeal Court Hears Oyetola’s Appeal Against Adeleke The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal is currently hearing the appeal filed by the Osun State Governor, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress, challenging the judgment of the state’s Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which nullified their election. The tribunal had on March 22, 2019, in a split decision declared Oyetola’s main rival in the September 2018 election in the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party as the one validly elected as the governor. It nullified the certificate of return issued to Oyetola and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a fresh one to Adeleke. The tribunal’s Chairman, Justice Ibrahim Sirajo, in his minority judgment, dissented from the majority judgment adopted by Justices Peter Obiorah and Adegboye Gbolagunte. Oyetola had in his 39-ground notice of appeal filed on March 26, 2019, urged the Court of Appeal to nullify the majority judgment, which he argued was perverse, replete with contradictions and not supported by evidence led by the petitioners. 6 Likes 3 Shares

ATIKU'S PETITION: APC's OBJECTION TO ATIKU'S QUALIFICATION TO CONTEST BASED ON QUESTION OF HIS NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP. What are the chances of APC succeeding in its objections based on the ground of Atiku's Nigerian Citizenship? Before we delve into answering this critical question, let us consider the relevant section of the Constitution of Nigeria that has to do with the Court that has the jurisdiction to determine the question of a person's citizenship in Nigeria. This is so because it is trite law that jurisdiction is the life wire to any proceedings in any court or tribunal. Any proceedings or judgment, no matter how good or how well conducted by any court or tribunal without jurisdiction is a nullity, as one cannot build something on nothing and expect it to stand. Having said that, the question now is: Which court has the exclusive jurisdiction or power to determine the question of citizenship of any person in Nigeria? In response to this question, let us consider the provision of section 251 (1) (i) of the the Constitution of Nigeria, 1999 as amended. Section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution provides and I quote: 251 (1): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Constitution and in addition to such other jurisdiction as may be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly, THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT (F.H.C) shall have and exercise jurisdiction to the exclusion of any other court in civil causes and matters relating to: (i) Citizenship, naturalisation and aliens, deportation of persons who are not citizens of Nigeria, extradition, immigration into and emigration from Nigeria, passports and visas. Now in view of the above provision of the Constitution, the questions that beg for answers are: (1) Which court has the exclusive jurisdiction to determine or decide a person's citizenship in Nigeria? ANS: The Federal High Court (F.H.C). (2) Has the F.H.C ever been called upon by APC or anybody at all to decide or determine any question bothering on or relating to Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria? ANS: No. (3) Going by the provision of the above section of the Constitution, does the APC, the Election Petition Tribunal or any other person or institution has the power to declare or pronounce Atiku or any other person a non-citizen of Nigeria? ANS: No, because doing so will amount to usurpation of the power or jurisdiction of the F.H.C. (4) Can the Election Petition Tribunal now exercise the power to declare or pronounce Atiku a non-citizen of Nigeria? ANS: No, it cannot. In view of the above questions and answers, it is my humble submission that it is very wrong for APC to, at this stage, declare that Atiku is not a citizen of Nigeria, especially in the absence of any F.H.C judgment to that effect, and then uses it as a ground to question or challenge his qualification to contest the Presidential election. It is also very wrong for APC or any person at all to bring up the issue of Atiku's citizenship for the first time at the Election Petition Tribunal. This is because doing so is akin to asking the Election Petition Tribunal to determine or decide on Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria based on the evidence before the Tribunal. Unfortunately, the Election Petition Tribunal has no jurisdiction or power to determine that question in view of section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution. Based on the above, I further submit that APC or any other interested person should have, first of all, proceeded to the F.H.C to challenge Atiku's qualification to contest the Presidential election based on the question of his citizenship in Nigeria. They should have even done that before the election took place, because an issue of that nature is a pre-election matter which the Election Petition Tribunal has no jurisdiction to determine. But this they failed to do. Therefore, APC's objections to Atiku's qualification on question of his citizenship is most likely going to fail, reason being that: (1) They lack the power to declare Atiku a non-citizen of Nigeria without a supporting F.H.C judgment to that effect. (2) The Election Petition Tribunal lacks the jurisdictional competence to decide or determine the question of Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria. It is only the F.H.C that has the exclusive jurisdiction to do so going by the provision of section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution of Nigeria. Cc: Lalsticlala 2 Likes 1 Share |

Everywhere on nairaland is filled with 1) Atiku hiring USA lobbyist yo stop Buhari inauguration (Atiku had denied this), there is no record to that effect that's he is planning to stop Buhari Inaugurations. Available facts did not show that, so where is APC getting their noise from. (2) Atiku Pastings poster's, APC will not stop crying more than the bereaved, a thief who is calling the owner of the farm thief. Any BODY can print or paste posters, APC themselves can paste the poster as well, so they should stop disturbing us on that. My question now is 1. Why is APC jittering 2. Is it a must that USA congratulate Buhari ni , think APC said Nigeria is a sovereign states and should not meddle in Nigeria matter, so what is there concern in Atiku having USA law consultant. 3. What is APc afraid of. APC Nairalanders now to you How is Atiku Instigating political crisis.  Cc. Buhariguy, afamed, Senatordave1 et.al Lalasticlala good morning |

Press Statement 11/4/19 Frank Accuses Buhari, APC of Plan to Give Atiku, Abiola’s Treatment Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the APC of plotting to arrest former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on trumped up charges of treasonable felony. Frank in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, said that according to authoritative sources in the Villa, how to kill Atiku - who is currently challenging the victory of General Buhari in the last elections - has been the subject of series of hushed-up security meetings by the Aso Rock Cabal in the past few weeks. He disclosed that the sinister plot against Atiku has commenced with the planting and spreading of fake news by members of the cabal purporting that Atiku has paid lobbyist in the United States of America the sum of $30,000 to lobby the U.S. Congress not to recognise the fraudulent re-election of Buhari for a second term. He said that the grand plot is to arrest Atiku on arrival from his vacation abroad and clamp him into jail for alleged treason. He stated that “as part of the overall design to liquidate the former Vice President, the Buhari Media Organization (BMO) has already called on the nation’s security agencies to “probe Atiku” - a euphemism for arrest and kangaroo trial - for allegedly seeking the ‘Venezuelan option’ by lobbying the U.S. Congress not to recognize the re-election of General Buhari.” He said that after the planned arrest and detention of Atiku, the Presidential Candidate of the PDP would suddenly be pronounced dead in prison just like the winner of the June 12 Presidential Election, Chief Moshood Abiola, who died in questionable circumstances in prison while seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate during the General Sani Abacha’s Junta. He disclosed that the sole aim of wanting Atiku out of the way at all cost is borne out of desperation, “the cabal having realized that Buhari’s purported victory during the last presidential election cannot withstand forensic judicial scrutiny, which the former Vice President is now poised to unravel before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.” He disclosed that information available to him further show that the presidency has ordered all APC state governors to pull down all Atiku’s Billboards in their states and in their place erect others with inciting and incendiary messages just like they have started to execute with the “PUKKA Posters” bearing the name and photograph of Atiku now placed at strategic positions at the Central Business District in Abuja. The Bayelsa-born political activist however warned Buhari and his evil plotters to desist from acts capable of eclipsing democracy in the country and with untold consequences for all Nigerians. He stated that any attempt to frustrate and foreclose the judgement of the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal by arresting Atiku and sending him to jail, preparatory to his murder will ignite the anger of Nigerians and bring cataclysmic tragedies never before witnessed in the history of the country. He called on patriotic Nigerians and members of the international community, especially the General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s Peace Committee and the United States and United Kingdom respectively not to gloss over events of monumental proportions currently being incubated by General Buhari and his men, in the interest of peace and democratic sustainability in the country.

| Politics › APC, Presidency In Fresh Plot To Set Up Atiku – PDP NWC by engineerboat(op): 8:41pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
APC, Presidency in fresh plot to set up Atiku – PDP NWC The National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Thursday said no amount of fabrications, attempt at set-up as well as veiled and open threats allegedly by the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government can stop its Presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar from reclaiming his mandate at the tribunal. President Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar This is even as the party rejected in its entirety, “the declaration by the Presidency that Atiku Abubakar is “lucky to be walking free”, adding that such a statement was inciting and “brings to the fore the unwholesome intention of the APC-led administration against Atiku Abubakar for seeking to retrieve his stolen mandate at the court.” In a statement signed by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan on Thursday, the PDP said it was aware “that the series of orchestrations against Atiku Abubakar and the PDP by agents of the federal government, officials of the Presidency and the Buhari Media Organization, BMO, expose a well-coordinated plot, which includes a resort to unfounded claims of links with a foreign lobby group, to attempt to frame Atiku Abubakar, cause tension and ultimately derail the recovery of the stolen mandate at the Presidential election tribunal.” The statement added that “such orchestration are also targeted at instilling fear, cause apprehension in the citizenry and create opening to further suppress genuine public opinion and the course of justice in the quest by Atiku Abubakar and the PDP to restore the will of the people.” The statement continued: “Part of the motive is to use lies, fabrications, threats and sponsoring of Atiku campaign posters to portray Atiku Abubakar and the PDP as being desperate and ready to subvert the rules in the pursuit of our mandate; and by so doing discredit our candidate in the eyes of the judiciary and the public in general. “This explains why agents of the APC-led government fabricated and pushed into the public space, bogus and laughable claims that Atiku Abubakar paid $30,000 to a US lobby group to assist in the quest to reclaim our mandate only for the Federal Government and the Presidency to turn around to feast on the fabrications with threats against Atiku Abubakar. “The PDP calls on Nigerians to take copious note of threats by the Presidency through the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, to jail Atiku Abubakar based on trumped up allegations, while describing him as “one who is lucky to be walking free. “Nigerians now know who to hold responsible should any harm come to Atiku Abubakar, his family or any member of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, PPCO, in the course of the pursuit of the mandate at the tribunal. “Moreover, it is instructive to state that the PDP and Atiku Abubakar do not need any foreign lobby group to prove our case before the tribunal as Nigerians themselves have been at the forefront of this pursuit, especially with our overwhelming evidence before the court. “The PDP therefore cautions the APC-led Federal Government to allow the tribunal to judiciously carry out its responsibilities without let or hindrance as well as stop their unrelenting plots to overheat the system and derail the course of justice as such will all come to naught.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/04/apc-presidency-in-fresh-plot-to-set-up-atiku-pdp-nwc-2/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

BREAKING: Supreme Court Throws Out Appeals Of Tonye Cole, APC Against Exclusion From Rivers Elections One of the appeals was filed by the APC, with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) listed among the respondents; the second was filed by APC, with Magnus Abe and others as respondents; and the third was filed by Cole, with Magnus Abe and others as respondents. The Supreme Court has struck out an appeal filed by Tonye Cole and and two more filed by his faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State against the party’s exclusion from the governorship and house of assembly elections in the state. A seven-man panel of judges of the apex court led by acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Mohammed, struck out the appeals on Thursday for being incompetent and defective, saying the matters could not be heard by the court. One of the appeals was filed by the APC, with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) listed among the respondents; the second was filed by APC, with Magnus Abe and others as respondents; and the third was filed by Cole, with Magnus Abe and others as respondents. At the hearing of the appeals on Thursday, Jibrin Okutepa, counsel to the APC, argued that the Court of Appeal never affirmed the judgment of the Rivers State High Court delivered on the March 7. He claimed that the court only made a pronouncement that the appeals were academic. But Emmanuel Ukala, counsel to the PDP, disagreed, informing the court of his preliminary objection challenging the competence of the appeals filed by the APC. In the first ruling, Justice Muhammad upheld the PDP lawyer’s argument that the notice of appeal filed by the APC was defective. He made similar pronouncements on the other two matters. The APC was barred from fielding candidates for the governorship and house of assembly elections, leaving the PDP to have a field day. Although APC entered an alliance with the African Action Congress (AAC), the PDP candidate and Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, won by an incredible margin. http://saharareporters.com/2019/04/11/breaking-supreme-court-throws-out-appeals-tonye-cole-apc-against-exclusion-rivers |
