Appeal Court Sets Aside Judgment Voiding Section 84(12) Of Electoral Act, 2022 by Nonpartisan1(op): 10:51am On May 11, 2022

The Court of Appeal has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court in Umuahia which voided the provision of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act 2022.

In a judgment on Wednesday in Abuja, a three-member panel of the court headed by Justice Hamma Akawu Barka held that the Federal High Court Umuahia had no jurisdiction to have entertained the case because the plaintiff, Nduka Edede, lacked the locus standi to have filed the suit in the first place.

The appellate court added that Edede did not establish any cause of action to have warranted his approaching the court on the issue because he did not establish that he was directly affected by the provision.

The Court of Appeal struck out the suit marked: FHC/UM/CS/26/2022 which Edede filed before the Umuahia court.

While determining the appeal on the merit, the appellate court however held that the provision is unconstitutional because it violates Section 42 (1)(a) of the Constitution and denied a class of Nigerian citizens their right to participate in election.

The judgment was on the appeal marked: CA/OW/87/2022 filed by the PDP.

I believe it is.

The Appeal Court nullified the judgement in Umuahia on technical grounds that Edede had no locus.

The PDP challenged that section hence the Appeal Court ruled that Section 84(12) is unconstitutional wrt to Section 42 of the 1999 CFRN.

It means that Section 84(12) is null and void hence all political appointees can keep their jobs and contest as before.

The wailers are naturally born sadist, they only feel happiness during wake keeping, robbery, human trafficking, drugs peddling, human sacrifice and Baby factories things.

But the judgement still invalidates the section 84. So in summary, it is still not valid

It's not working against them, the section says no appointee should vote or voted for in a primary election without resignation. They still have time to resign because there is no time frame for resignation
