Igbofam: 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? 4 Likes 1 Share |

emmykk: 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? 3 Likes |

How can it stand when no provision is made to it constitutionally? All of them are Nigeria's problem. 1 Like |

He is saying nonsense. If the vote belongs to the candidate and not the party, what's the need of being in a political party then? 3 Likes 1 Share |

For once, Ozekhome decided to stand on the side of the law. I actually expected him to take a biased position as usual but I’m pleasantly surprised he took the right position. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nigeria judiciary system is contradictory...the same people same votes belonged to APC in the case of Late Prince Abubakar Audu case of Kogi State... which the APC have to present the second Runner up of the primary. If votes are for individuals then why didn't INEC nollify Kogi Elections after the death of Abubakar of APC in 2015 And conduct a fresh elections 4 Likes |

Bobloco: I disagree. Such decampments have always been challenged in court. Most hide under the fact that their previous party was under crisis and factionalised. |

Ayemileto: 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 |

I know from the beginning that the judge that delivered that judgement is not sound in law. Atiku vs Obasanjo, supreme Court made it clear that executive can cross carpet and still maintain his seat. 2 Likes |

If the judiciary can harmonize their judgment, I think the cases in courts would be minimal, but everyone just heading to court to try luck and see where the judiciary will swing to in their cases, If votes belong to candidates how come INEC will declare a party winner without a candidate? How does that even made sense that you can use and dump a party that brought you to power, it is even morally wrong, Time for the judiciary to work in synergy |
Re: Mike Ozekhome: Judgment Sacking Umahi Cannot Stand Appeal Court Scrutiny by Ayemileto(m): 9:46am On Mar 09, 2022 |
Igbofam: But the issue shows that votes belong to the party - not individuals. If Votes belong to individuals, the other guys votes in the election couldn't have been awarded to Amaechi. Also, Amaechi's tenure would have expired 4 years after he was sworn in (and not 4 years since the original guy was sworn in). |

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. 2 Likes |

Re: Mike Ozekhome: Judgment Sacking Umahi Cannot Stand Appeal Court Scrutiny by Peacecore: 10:08am On Mar 09, 2022 |
There should be no much noise about this matter bcoz it's clear in d constitution that the only thing that can remove d president,vice president, gov n deputy gov from their seats after swearing in are; 1. The legislative arm 2. Pre_election case such as matter arising from primary election or matter of disqualification brought to the court before the election. Any other matter even criminal matter is trash while the exco can face that after his term. 2 Likes |

Ozekhome is an interested party in this case, so he may be talking not from point of law but sentiment |

zeuss: 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. |
Re: Mike Ozekhome: Judgment Sacking Umahi Cannot Stand Appeal Court Scrutiny by emmykk(m): 10:19am On Mar 09, 2022 |
Igbofam: The major thing the judge emphasize on is that the vote the governor used to be governor are those of PDP and it is very correct. During election people voted party and not individual so why carry the mandate of a political party to another political party. That is common sense at work...so when leaving it will be better you return it to the platform your got that power. |

Bobloco: 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. |
