Statute barred.

Nothing will come out of this.

Meanwhile INEC has shown that it is just a branch of APC.

It responded to an inquiry from APC with a speed of light but the Presidential Election Petition Court ordered it since March to provide Labour Party with the documents they need to prosecute their case but they have blatantly continued to disobey that order.

No wahala!

Terrorist😏

There will be no inauguration 😏

garfield1:
Section 77 says submit register 30 days before fixed primaries.it is not talking about members in the register but a simple rule,follow it and avoid sanctions.in any case,this judgment is a moral lesson.technicalities is a double edged sword,it can swing to apc today,lp tomorrow and pdp next.so stop complaining when it favours apc

This judgment doesn’t even favour APC.

If Otti goes today, it’s PDP that would benefit from it, not APC.

MetaPhysical:
Akpabio visit to Abure faction and invitation to join government of unity is a setup. You failed to see it.

So, Tinubu is trying to take advantage of a gap.

If Abure refused the invite, they will now approach Apapa for unity and nation building. If Apapa accepts, Obi will not return as a LP candidate, or PDP candidate in 2027.

The only order that gave Apapa the locus to misbehave has been stayed by the same court that issued it.

And with that, Apapa is flushed like a shit down the waste pipe never to return to relevance again.

You guys think you are up against Ogbomoso town criers.

How the mighty has fallen!

Wike is now an object of ridicule.

I wish I can get in touch with one of Wike’s strategists so I can get to know the game he’s playing and how he hopes to gain from it.

He has now isolated himself which makes him most vulnerable.

He’s no longer a friend of the Southeast for what he did in Obigbo and for going against Obi.

In his native Southsouth, he is not in good terms with Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Edo States. And demolishing Bayelsa State government property was the lowest of lows that he would have gone.

Unfortunately for him, he’s also not popular in the north.

So right now, Wike’s only allies are the Yoruba which might not even be all of them.

Let’s see what he hopes to achieve with that.

Lol!

They’ve started wailing.

The next person I’m waiting for his tears is Wike.

The Supreme Court in February in Ita Enang v. Asuquo made it clear: that it is within the prerogative of any Party to issue waivers to new entrants.

The SC stated that it is within the internal affairs of a Political Party and the Court has no business to meddle into it. So Justice Yunusa had no business whatsoever to say a word on this case.

Allow that egbon to continue defending nonsense.

This only exposes the reason they make the kind of choices they make.

They are so shallow, unintelligent and uninformed.

favor914:
What jurisdiction, LP did not field a legitimate presidential candidate, he was not on the register of members, a month prior to the primaries, so he could not have been sponsored by the party, if you like, quote all the case laws.

A nullity ab initio never existed, has no jurisdiction.

You should be limiting how you talk about some certain things to avoid people thinking of you in a way they are not supposed to think of you.

Do you know that political parties have what is called waiver? With waiver, I can defect to a party this night and become their candidate by morning and no court of law can question that.

Section 77 of the Electoral Act said that a political party must submit its register not later than 30 days before their primaries but did it also say that whoever his/her name is not found on the register cannot be sponsored by the party? Huh?

seunmsg:
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the judgement will be upturned. However, until the judgement is set aside by a superior court, it remains valid.

Btw, it’s really funny you’re now hiding under technicalities to defend Labour Party. You can’t even deny the fact that the judgement is sound in law. It is the exact position of the law and nothing else. Good enough, APC also raised the same issue in her cross petition to the tribunal. We will be waiting to see what the tribunal will decide.

Hopefully, when some of the issues raised by Peter Obi are also similarly decided by the technicalities you’ve employed on this thread, we can all keep the same energy and not insult the judiciary.

The judgment is not sound in anyway or manner.

It’s as watery as a watery poo.

And there’s no comparison between the case and Obi’s case against Tinubu. Don’t compare them.

At least you should sound more reasonable after reading what Fergie wrote up there. Abi you no read am?

engineerboat:
All this hullaballoo tactics will come back to hunt the perpetrators and those backing them.

But one thing is sure, all the jankara judgements up and down cannot stand the test of higher legal litigations.

Judiciary is seriously on trial

Very much on trial.

And APC helped put them on the spot with their “go to court” rhetorics as if the court was their sure appendage.

I’m sure the Judiciary will be grappling to salvage whatever remnant of integrity they have left.

You can see that it has started with the PEPT Panel Chair warning lawyers that the court won’t entertain technicalities.

Let’s continue to keep our fingers crossed.

fergie001:
Justice Yunusa should be sanctioned terribly.

Does Ariwoola look like somebody that will sanction Yunusa?🤦

We opposed the appointment of justice Tanko but when I look back, I give him some credit for how he dealt with errant judges.

This Ariwoola is a pure disaster.

Today is really not a good day to be a Tinubu Owambe boy😅

NigerianAngelo:
If only his coup went through. He intended to cut off the core North - Buhari and El Rufai.

May God bless his work.

Gideon Orkar’s coup would have been the best thing to happen to Nigeria if it succeeded but he was too much in a haste.

He started making consequential announcements without first securing power.

All he needed to do was calm down, complete power takeover and appoint his loyalists across all military formations before launching his plans. But he hadn’t done of these and he went ahead to announce that the core north has been yanked off from Nigeria until they stop being troublesome.

But his coup did not fail…

It is said that before his coup, military parades were held in Hausa in barracks and only Hausas held command positions and other juicy positions.

But the coup exposed the deep seated hatred officers of other regions had held against the core northerners and from then the military has never gone back to the pre-Orkar coup era.

May God continue to rest his soul!

May he continue to rest in power.

fergie001:
No.... He made the orders, those are numberings based on the prayers of the plaintiff.

The National Legal Adviser that was removed stood in for LP in Court. When the Abure people heard about, they sent their own Counsel who was not allowed to represent the Party. It was all planned!

What happened was that he purposely wanted the confusion and panic. Otti will definitely appeal... He made a judgement without consequential order so this cannot invalidate the inauguration but he will do well to take the leave of Court and appeal.

Yeah. I agree with you that Otti should not take the judgment lying low.

He should Appeal the judgment to stave off any eventualities.

You see how hydra headed the forces we are fighting in this country are.

But I’m happy the FCT High Court has stayed execution of its order let me see what Apapa and his co travelers will rely on to cause problem.

They don’t know who they are up against.

favor914:
An invalidated outcome lacking due process, has no jurisdiction, null & void ab initio.

The law is the law, submit your register thirty days prior, any story is forever a nullity, never existed.

You Obidients unless you are still deceiving yourselves, after all the gra gra have seen the writing on the wall, LP no get presidential candidate in the just concluded 2023 presidential election.

Know this, & have peace of mind

Once again, what were you saying again?🧐🤔

What were you saying again?

favor914:
That is irrelevant in this instance, a nullity is a nullity, ab initio, It never existed in law.

Did the Labour Party submit her membership register to INEC within 30 days before their primaries?

https://www.nairaland.com/7695453/labour-party-kano-judge-denies#123240256

You were saying?🤔

Throwback:
Penguin don dey piss for body.

I always insisted that Peter Obi is an illegitimate candidate.

https://www.nairaland.com/7695453/labour-party-kano-judge-denies#123240256

You were saying?

lhordspy:
Lol. The case was filed by a labour party ex-chairman in kano state not from an opposition. He is an aggrieved member of the party which Obi and Abure led faction refused to placate.

Always try to read the full length of court proceeding and outcome before giving your thoughts.


Secondly, a Federal highcourt anywhere in Nigeria has jurisdiction over any state in Nigeria. A FHC in river state has jurisdiction over Bornu's politics in court.

https://www.nairaland.com/7695453/labour-party-kano-judge-denies#123240256

What were you saying again?

First, Apapa’s stupid lawyer was denied appearance by the Presidential Election Petition Court for representing an unknown entity. Both the lawyer and Apapa left in shame.

Now, the judge in Kano has denied giving the Kangaroo judgment you guys were celebrating even though you knew it was deficient.

Must be a bad day for BATists.

I don’t envy you people at all!

sreamsense:
I laughed in 3D at OP! See him being restless. Is it today we just started reading your analysis? Shallow analysis and prediction of ANAP and Bantupage that many obidients like you did during campaign, what came out of it than handling over 3rd position to Obi? No one knows you can analyze like this because it is not Tinubu matter. Only Tinubu your analysis will tell not to observe swearing in until court judgement ends, but now; you turn to emergency political and judicial expert just because all Elupee will be affected. Didn't we tell you about stop-labouring in vain?

You better let me give you transport fare to go and tell Obi to prepare. Tell him not to pay remaining balance for all his lawyers so he can save some amount of money. You keep chasing Tinubu that doesn't utter a word to abuse you because of hatred until you enter into pit. Stop wasting your time, ELUPEE formular will work in this case, it is operation remove all LP from top to bottom. It is not me that said so, it is the court

How far? Where are you?

Come and continue what you were saying or have you lost ur voice or data is exhausted?

fergie001:
He is lying, he did.

It is the backlash that is making him retract. (Look @ Nos 5,6 & 7)

However, the judgement cannot stand.

No, he didn’t.

Those numbers 5, 6 and 7 you cited were just premises.

His conclusion is what is in the final paragraph.

Or what do you think?

GeneralPula:
The petitioner didn’t challenge primary..

He challenged Otti’s candidacy as a whole. Before you contest primary, you need to first become a candidate from your party right, registered by INEC?

He’s candidature is what he challenged! 30days already elapse before his name was registered with INEC!

As for the court, see below!

https://www.nairaland.com/7695453/labour-party-kano-judge-denies#123240256

How far now?

You still think the judgment is right?

Benwallt:
Penguin2, my gee. Don't look far about the judgement but the circumstances around it and what the law says. Nigeria politics is capable of giving a healthy man an heart attach if one is on the wrong side.

Have a great day

The same kind of judgement was given 2019 and all APC candidates were thrown away in Rivers

https://www.nairaland.com/7695453/labour-party-kano-judge-denies#123240256

I’m sure you have heard that the judge has denied issuing any such judgment.

The case you are citing was in Zamfara in 2019. And it was INEC that refused to accept APC candidates in Zamfara because they conducted their primaries outside the INEC Timetable. The court simply agreed with INEC.

Again it happened in Rivers after the Court agreed with Magnus Abe tendency of Rivers APC that they were excluded from the Primaries of APC in Rivers.

But these two cases were filed within 14 days of the occurrence of those events.

In Abia case, this individual woke up after 1 year to file the case. Who does that?

And that’s even asides the fact that the facts of the case are not the same.

DatNiggaDaz:
CHAI.
Where are those Apc & Tinubu supporters wey carry soap for hand since their fake news make headline.

Now, na to throw way dat slimy soap carry handkerchief remain

They’ve all ran away in shame.

But then again, they are shameless.

I’m sure they are having a WhatsApp meeting on how to spin the narrative now.

Igboslayer:
So says the criminal… Na Aburi misunderstanding caused the Igbos to fight the civil war. Na Abure go still finish dem this time around…. Nostalgia

Maybe you need to be reminded that “Aburi” is different from “Abure”.

Is it that difficult for you to differentiate?

LegendHero:
So far they don’t walk out Apapa himself, we are fine.

Lamidi Apapa remain the authentic chairman and he will surely bring discipline to Labour Party.

Long live Lamidi Apapa

Lol!

He sat in court like a deaf and dumb and a spectator which means his presence had no consequence and was a mere engagement in foolery.

I’m sure he later heard that the Federal High Court ruling upon which he was standing to cause mayhem has been stayed by the same court and he was shamelessly escorted out of the court.

And so he descent into oblivion begins.

garfield1:
The judgment will not stand only because it was filed out of time.but the court and appellant has jurisdiction

I hope you tell your fellow BATists this so that they will stop junketing around.

Again, besides the case being statute barred, the plaintiff is a meddlesome interloper as he didn’t contest any election in Abia State.

Secondly, Otti and other LP candidates in Abia weren’t parties to the suit.

Who does that?

Every human being with brain knows that the judgment is a joke.

Only Tinubu Owambe boys are taking it seriously.
Pathetic!
