PDP and Judicial rascality. How can you expect a court to remove a governor who was voted by the people and not by the Party?

Indeed the party is just the vehicle through which he rode to power but the votes were given to him as an individual which is why even Inec when presenting his certificate of return has his name on it as the winner and not that of the Party.

PDP keeps showing how desperation can make one act like a court Jester and a fool

That judgement delivered by that honourable Justice inyang is what the situation is just say that the supreme is control by APC when it get there is will be rubbish

Chief is lead counsel to Prof Ben Ayade and I don't expect a different view. Votes in an election belongs to party not candidates, Supreme Court judgements on Omehia vs Amaechi, Bello vs Faleke etc the pdp sought enforcement of section 221

Throwback:
Was therea different constitution when Ortom decamped from APC to PDP with the Benue governorship?

zeuss:
PDP why all the noise?...if that governor cannot be removed, remove the 17guilty house members, get back majority and impeach the subject.....the PDP speaker of the House be made to assume governor role everybody will be happy �

Bobloco:


Because nobody took him to court to challenge the legality of the defection

Ayemileto:


What of Amaechi's case when he became governor in 2007?

Election was already completed, and the PDP candidate sworn in.

5 months later, the supreme court ruled that Amaechi is the original candidate of the PDP, and he should be sworn in instead.

Also, Amaechi's tenure expired 4 years after the initial guy was sworn in (not 4 years after he was sworn in).

If Votes belong to individuals (and not party), how can this happen?

Igbofam:


This was a totally different situation. It was a party issue based on who the valid candidate was and not an issue of cross carpeting

Throwback:


I disagree.

Such decampments have always been challenged in court.

Most hide under the fact that their previous party was under crisis and factionalised.

Nigerian constitution and judicial system is a scrap.
When prince Audu Abubakar died before the final announcement of the winner, Yahaya Bello was nominated to inherite the votes already casted for Audu/ Faleke ticket on the premise that the votes belongs to the party and not individuals. This was upheld up to supreme Court.

Now, why will the same supreme Court contradicting itself?
I'm not for or against any party but we are in a banana republic.

Kingpele:
Wow coming from pdp lawyer wahala deyoo I kept telling myself ,is it not the candidate that was returned as winner, is it the party,he returning officer will say Mr this and that having pulled the highest number of vote is hereby returned as a winner, that judge should refund pandemic development party their stollen funds and proceed to any psychiatric hospital

This is not about who controls the Supreme Court but about the Judicial rascality being attempted by the PDP in the face of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Where did the Judge manufacture his Judicial foundaton for such ruling from?

Oxb90:
Nigeria's judiciary is as confused as everything about it.
[/color]This judge will give a judgment and another will
put it aside[color=#000000].
Are they not the same people that address themselves as 'learned'.
Confused judges in a confused country.

No be small thing

Throwback:
Was there a different constitution when Ortom decamped from APC to PDP with the Benue governorship?

Bobloco:


But in this case, there was no faction in the party as at the time he defected
he also did not state it as the reason for his defection

Tareq1105:


If you remove the 17 Honourables, then you swear in the 17 who came second in 2019 election and incidentally they're original APC. No be the same?

Then on Umahi, he cannot be removed bcoz the judgement is not based on any section of either the Nigeria constitution or Electoral Act or judicial precedent. The judge just decided to go on sabbatical judicial travel.

Tareq1105:


President, Vice President, Governors, dep Gov can only be removed on 3 grounds:

Death
Pre Election matters
Impeachment.

Are you okay now?

But the lawmakers can be removed unless if they can proof that there was crisis in the Party.

I don't know where PDP is bringing a replacement from.
