Multiple Candidates: Awka High Court Finally Restrains PDP Elements From Campaigning

The vaunting ambition of Hon Mrs. Uche Ekwunife who is seeking to represent Anambra Central in the Senate and other PDP stalwarts seeking elective positions in Anambra State in the coming general elections has finally grounded to a halt following an injunction from Federal High Court 1, sitting in Awka, restraining PDP and tow others from putting up multiple candidates for one elective position in the coming elections.

This followed a motion brought before Justice Ibrahim Bature Gafai by the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) against the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and two others in which the plaintiff prayed the court to restrain PDP from presenting multiple candidates for the same positions in the coming elections outside of those that were duly cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

APGA argued through its prosecutor, Patrick Nwankwo Ikweto, SAN, that the continued campaign for votes by PDP elements and others whose names did not appear on the INEC List was against the 1999 Constitution and the nation’s Electoral Act.

The party further maintained that Section 221 of the 1999 Constitution allows only a political party to campaign for votes while section 100 (1) of the Electoral Act entitles only a candidate and his party to campaign for elections. Section 31 (3) summarily requires INEC to publish the particulars of a candidate of a party thereby making it illegal for candidates whose names were not published by INEC to campaign for elections.

In his ruling, on the suit number SHC/AWK/CS/23/2015, Justice Gafai ordered the parties in dispute to maintain the status quo. Justice Gafai also ordered that all persons who are not candidates published by INEC should cease forthwith from campaigning for elections pending the determination of the substantive suit.

With this legal instrument in place, all political aspirants in the state who have been campaigning for votes in absolute defiance to the new Anambra State law against illegal solicitation for votes entitled the “Breaches of the Peace and Unlawful Assemblies Law which took effect from January 20, 2015 are wilfully asking for arrest and possible prosecution.

Even with her release, you people can still press for the damages for unlawful detention against SARS and the bank.

The case is civil and has nothing to do with SARS at all

All said...

Fyi NBA is not on strike its court officials throughout the Federation that went on strike.

The good news is that Federal Courts have suspended the strike and help is on the way.

Trust your lawyer to deliver on Monday through an exparte application for enforcement of ur mums fundamental rights.

Just pray and wait.

The two judges at the Federal High Court Awka (Gafai and Abubakar) are very proactive. So you don't have much to worry about.

Eselu oya forward march to Supreme Court.

Cuche:
The result was announced, rejoinders followed. Less than 15% of the voting population of the state determined the results. A phenomenon which many of us knew would set a wrong precedent

To be Contd.

My brother please don't continue. The less than 15% lie or mistake by you have done the job. How can write such a thing and expect informed people to read on. The voters turnout in that election was about 27%. Just add the result of the parties and divide by 1.8m times 100.

FYI save when our people want to show their overwhelming support for Jonathan, results in Anambra are decided always by percentages below or around 30%. Check out Nguge vs Dora where all the candidates scored less than 150k votes where we had more than 600k regd voters; John Emeka & Margery Okadigbo vs Joy Emordi where we had about 120k votes out of more than 500k regd voters.

HMMM

FastShipping:
That form is actually fake. This is the same way they posted Buhari fake academic results online last week.

Ask yourself why would INEC release Buhari presidential form to the public.

Ever heard of publication of particulars of candidates for claims and objections?

The Electoral Act makes it mandatory for INEC to publish FORM CF001 filled by all the candidates as well as the attached documents like credentials.

Go to your state INEC office and you go see form tire. You sef go laugh tire

A well deserved one. Kudos Mr. Governor. At least for giving Anambrarians tight security, you deserve an award.[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Anambra PDP Senatorial List: INEC Report Declares Chris Uba, John Emeka, Others Winners

The controversy trailing the list of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates for the senatorial elections in Anambra State, heightened yesterday as a report from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) revealed that Chief Chris Uba, Prince John Emeka and Senator Annie Okonkwo won the primaries for the Anambra South,Central and North Senatorial districts.

This was contained in a report of the INEC team that monitored the primaries of the party in the state.

The list of senatorial candidates of PDP from the state has been a subject of intense dispute.

But according to a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the committee’s report obtained by LEADERSHIP Sunday, the INEC headquarter led by Chika Okafor an assistant director in the commission, Adam Dan-Shuaibu a principal admin officer and Joy Uba a senior executive officer, the PDP primaries in the state conducted on the December 7 under the Chief Ejike Oguebego leadership was very peaceful and witnessed a smooth sail.

The report further reads: “Generally speaking, the Peoples Democratic Party primaries did not come short of expectations as it took place peacefully in all the senatorial constituencies in the state. The result of the primaries was generally accepted by the members of the party as the correct expression of their collective wishes and desires. It would also be pertinent to say at this juncture that, that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Anambra State chapter did comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended) as well as their laid down congresses/primaries guidelines and the Constitution.

According to the preamble of the PDP guidelines for primary elections 2014, it is clearly stipulated that candidates of political parties will only emerge through primary elections duly conducted and monitored by INEC (Section 87(1) (a).

Political parties are no longer allowed to change or substitute candidates whose names have been submitted to INEC, except in the case of death or withdrawal of candidates (Section 33).

The INEC committee in its report to the commission further stated that the PDP adopted open ballot system otherwise known as option A4 to elect their senatorial flag bearers and that during the primaries, the voting process was simple and straightforward, firstly nominations were called for, after which delegates queued up and voted for candidates of their choice before counting and recording of scores were done. The contestant with the simple majority of votes cast was declared the winner”.

The town has both urban and rural areas.

I cant answer to the whether the town is Superclean or whatever. As for me, I was only seeing human beings.
But if you may wish to drop the name of your town and its carnival pics, then we can make comparisons.

mensdept:
^^^^I did not see even ONE person wearing indigenous clothing. All looked like clothes donated by Ndi Anambra USA organizations.

Not that it makes someone better or worse, but the heavy title of this thread, you'll think there would be something truly "Powerhouse", but frankly, the more you look, the less you see.

Perhaps the governors "swearing in" could help these folks to think seriously about a cultural event

There were native costumes worn by those on the frontline but I couldn't get their pics because I was way behind.

The event is not that old, yet it's taking shapes fast.

I just want us to appreciate the turnout and the potential of such carnival to grow bigger and better

Still more

Lemme join my brother and enjoy stomach infrastructure.

After all, Anambra adigo mma

Them no hole am. They just blocked his way to register their grievances.

Thank God for the progress in Abia thread. Let us continue working and praying for the development of all parts of Igbo land.

Peace ✌

Cuche:
Most of the persons fielded by APGA in the upcoming elections are no match for the guys in PDP. I think the problem APGA may have is that tickets were just handed to friends and associates of Chief Umeh. PDP, which was notorious for fraudulent primaries was carefully in conducting its primaries in Anambra. A neigbour in the house of reps was not even sure of winning till the results came out . He was so stressed that week despite having the power of incumbency

Talking as if you know who the candidates of PDP are. Are you the only one who doesn't know that PDP has 3 or more candidates for each post in this election . Can you tell who amongst Chris Ubah, Andy Ubah, Obinna Uzoh or Chuma Nzeribe is the PDP candidate for Anambra South? All of them are claiming victory while INEC says its sticking with Chris Ubah faction.

I think ur conclusions on how the APGA candidates are inferior would have waited until the inec says the persons u mentioned are the candidates!

And can you tell me one aspirant that was cheated out, in the senatorial race, in APGA. Or the ones that could have been better but didn't make it because they were not Umeh's friends. Let truth be our watchword in this forum as we don't gain anything by deceiving our brothers.

Would have said more on this but i had to strike a balance between correcting an erroneous impression and derailing this our wonderful thread.

BTW, If anybody creates a thread on the strength and weaknesses of the candidates in Anambra, we meet there.

Nwanne is that road that links onitsha to nsukka now a thorough fare? Has it been completed? Can one travel that route rather than via 9th mile

The road is thru.
Even those travelling to Idah, Kogi State prefer it. Presently Gov. Willie Obiano is expanding the Road from Aguleri junction towards Ayamelum to Enugu State border and is also adding gutters. The contractor doing the job is Doliz Constructions. I'll get you the pictures within the week.

Wish I can meet all these good people here anytime I'm home.
U guys deserve special plates of nkwobi and pami.

If you don't meet anybody else, I'll be there. Am based here. Travel kilometres a day within Anambra and neighboring states.
If anybody asks you whether Anambra is making progress, tell him I say its leaping.
