The Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division on Wednesday confirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State will not field any candidates during the 2019 General elections when it dismissed the appeal filed by the factional Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Mr Tonye Cole.
he Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division also confirmed the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu that Rivers State has no ward executives, local government executives and State Executives as it dismissed the appeal filed by Sacked Rivers State APC State Chairman, Mr Ojukaye Flag Amachree.

The Court of Appeal Port Harcourt Division Special Panel Chaired by Justice Abubakar Yahaya dismissed the two appeals for lack of merit.

The third appeal which centred on the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu was dismissed because it was filed out of time and therefore statute barred.

Delivering his judgement Justice Yahaya,said the appeal against the Justice Chinwendu Nwogu High Court judgement on the party Congress crisis lacks merit, adding that the application for joinder failed to observed the 14 days rules of Appeal.

While delivering judgement on the substantive appeal number CA/PH/198 that bothered on Justice Nwogu’s judgement, the panel ruled that the Ojukaye faction failed to seek leave of court before appealing against the judgement.

Justice Yahaya ruled that the judgement delivered at the lower court was a consent judgement, adding that Ojukaye faction should have done the needful legally before approaching the court.

Counsel to Ibrahim Umar and 22 others, Mr Patrick Luke said that the rulings of the Court of Appeal confirm that the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu remains valid and is still subsisting.

Counsel to Ojukaye Flag Amachree, Emenike Ebete noted that the court heard the three matters and in her wisdom arrived at the rulings confirming the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu.

He said: “Arguments were taken but the Court in its infinite wisdom held that in appeal 461, that is the substantive appeal, that the consent judgement of the High Court of Rivers state and by provision of the constitution, we ought to have sought leave of court to appeal against that consent judgement. That is their own decision and they struck it out.

“The one for the candidates and the party state excos, we were dismissed on the ground that it was a pre-election matter, that we did not bring the application within 14 days after decision was delivered on October 10. What that means is that, we will approach the Supreme court to contest the judgment “.

It will be recalled that on October 10, 2018, a High Court in Port Harcourt nullified the nomination of Mr Tonye Cole as the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State on the ground that his nomination is a function of illegality and unconstitutional acts.

The Court also nullified the the Rivers State APC Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly Primaries conducted on the premise of the illegal ward congresses.

The High Court further nullified all the elections of Rivers APC Ward Executives, Local Government Executives and State Executive Committee that arose from the illegal ward congresses.

In a judgment delivered by Justice Chiwendu Nwogu in a suit filed by Ibrahim Imah and twenty-two others against the APC, the Court declared that the ward congresses of Rivers APC were illegal because they were not conducted in line with the APC Guidelines and Constitution

As Obesere labels K1 traitor

By Benjamin Njoku and Rotimi Agbana
Fuji music exponent, Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere,PK1st, has lampooned fellow fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde a.k.a K1 De Ultimate, over his stance on the current crisis that has engulfed ruling APC in Lagos State, describing him as an ingrate who does not always care to bite the fingers that fed him.
Obesere spoke against the backdrop of the recent video released by K1 De Ultimate on Instagram, where he shared his opinion on the best governors Lagos State has ever had, omitting the name of incumbent Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, further stoking the raging fire of controversy that Ambode truly may have fallen out of favour among the stalwarts of the party ahead of the 2019 gubernatorial election in the State.

The relationship between the two musicians over the years has not been as cordial as music fans all over the world will expect it to be, while so many questions have been asked to ascertain the cause of their frequent feuds. Speaking on the latest development in a statement made available to E-daily, Alhaji Obesere was quick to place it on record that while he is having nothing personal against his colleague, he is always averse to his uncharitable conduct and dishonest attitude, adding the latest preposterous position and outburst against Ambode in his trying period is a clear testimony that ‘Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde is nothing but a serial betrayal.’

He bares it all by going down memory lane: “I want to state clearly that I have nothing personal against Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde but looking back to some of his conducts and attitude over the years, I think I have been proven right to stay away from dealing with him. I don’t like to deal with an ingrate who doesn’t care to bite the fingers that once fed him, “he began defiantly.
“As musicians, we are people’s property and I am free to support anybody that I like but I won’t come out in the open to smear the character of anybody – not to talk of someone I have benefited from in one way or the other. What is happening in Lagos State is pure political issue and should be left to the politicians to resolve. For, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde to suddenly change gears because of the travails of Governor Ambode is not only ungodly, slanderous and disrespectful, but it shows that he is a real traitor. “

“You will recall that the same man betrayed our legend in the Fuji Music industry, late Alhaji Ayinde Barrister some years back. He came out in the open to deny the man who was his benefactor and called him all sorts of names. He once rubbished another amongst our highly respected seniors in the business, Alhaji Ayinla Kollington, and I can go on and on to relay some of his past ignoble actions that portrayed him as someone who cannot be trusted.

And that exactly has been the crux of our disagreements overtimes. The latest one against Governor Ambode is quite unfortunate and as a stakeholder and someone who doesn’t love to hide his feelings, I think we should all let him know that, what comes around, goes around and what is not good is not good. As public figure s and role models, we should not be seen as people of questionable character who are always running to where our pockets will be served,” a highly disenchanted singer popularly known as PK1st posited.

kwankwaso is of no use in kano let him go baba with him without him we will deliver 5million vote for u

go and sit down my friend, you know nothing about Kano politics

It's like brain is paining this man

fairfora:
ok. Your opinion though. Wait a minute, would there have been the so-called ekitigate in the first place had fayemi won back then? Which election in Nigeria has been free and fair? Not even the election which brought buhari to aso Villa was free and fair, given the Kano and borno reported massive rigging. Are you saying fayemi never rigged back then right? Tinubu, the master rigger won't save fayemi this time. We're not there yet in our electoral process but we shall get there someday as things are changing as many more are becoming emancipated. Results would soon start to tricke in. No need arguing

Guy you don't need to argue with all these road side Akara selling politicians. You have stated well known facts, anybody with a contrary opinion should also come forth with facts. Shikena

koboko69:
Epistle of garbage.
Post riddled with distorted facts and lies.
All this energy wasted in churning out lies and deceit.
The only reason Fayemi lost his rerun elections was Ekiti gate. If Fayemi was so unpopular or would have lost elections cos of the many nonsense and rubbish u wrote up there, there wouldn't have been any need for Ekiti gate in the first instance. If you have deliberate amnesia or short memories, many of us remember the events before and during Ekiti elections between Fayemi and Fayose. U wonder the percentage of even so called Ekiti teachers to the masses that will come out en masse to vote. The way u people think ehn.....what about the workers being owed by Fayose who suddenly has cash to distribute to voters. I am extremely sorry for people like u

The guy Made alot of sense more that the rubbish you just wrote

miteolu:
Dino and Bello of kogi are same. Dino Zero project. He blames and attacks Bello meanwhile he has not done anything for his people. Also Governor Bello wants to afflict his people with herdmens colony. Kogi has been in a sorry case since 2015.

Shut up!! You are not from kogi state

Ask Tinubu

Eggcelent:
I See Governor Fayose Sabotaging Prof Adeniran's Quest In Order To Boost His Own (Vice) Presidential Aspiration.

Party National Chairman & (Vice) Presidential Candidate Can't Come From The Same State

You got the calculation

Political calculation

Fayose will settle for Vice-President

FunkyAlhaji2015:
I did not read the story to the end but I know It is not right, those okada men have no business operating in those areas. So if the tenant is unable to pay his rent, the landlord should be killed and the other car sold. That's my humble submission.
