IfnobeGod20:Well detailed. But the said 27 law makers never sworn that they have defected. Just verbal defection. Let us keep our fingers crossed and Watch. |

yarimo:The legal issues involving state party executives and the Rivers State Assembly should typically fall under the jurisdiction of the State High Court, provided they pertain to, Internal Party Matters: Issues such as leadership disputes within a political party, especially when related to activities or actions within the state, are generally considered state specific. They should be addressed by the State High Court unless they involve constitutional questions or affect federal statutes. State Assembly Disputes: Matters involving the Rivers State House of Assembly—such as legislative disputes, membership issues, or procedural questions—are also within the State High Court's jurisdiction, unless they have federal implications, like violations of the Nigerian Constitution that may invoke the Federal High Court. However, there are exceptions to consider: If the case involves fundamental rights (e.g., breach of rights enshrined in the Constitution), the matter could escalate to the Federal High Court under its exclusive jurisdiction for constitutional matters. If the dispute involves the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or interpretation of federal laws, the Federal High Court might also have jurisdiction. In essence: State High Court: For purely state matters like party disputes and legislative issues within Rivers State. Federal High Court: If the matter crosses into constitutional or federal statutory territory, such as involving INEC or federal agencies. |

gare:Sharapova dere. Only Appeal court can stop the Congress as it stands and not a state High court. In my quote, I was ranking about a higher court court and not courts in Abuja. We have Appeal court too in Rivers state. Why is Fubara only using the state High court. The judgement cannot be obeyed except one from a higher court that's Appeal court and supreme Court |

yarimo:It's important to address these matters calmly and with clarity. To clarify for those who might be misinformed, the judgment that barred APC from contesting the 2019 Rivers State elections came from a State High Court, specifically related to the party's internal primary disputes. This illustrates that State High Courts do have jurisdiction over certain matters, particularly when they pertain to the internal affairs of state branches of political parties. For anyone attempting to argue otherwise, it would be helpful for them to understand the distinction between State High Courts and Federal High Courts, as well as the principle of jurisdiction that determines which court hears what matter. The truth is, legal education isn't about assumptions; it’s about understanding precedents, statutes, and constitutional provisions. Hopefully, those who are misinformed will take the time to educate themselves before making arguments that don’t align with the law or historical facts. This isn't about bitterness but about adhering to the rule of law and respecting proper judicial processes. |

Cherrybae:When you're olodo, you're one for real. The question you should have asked or may be you asked but because of your ignorance to law, you feigned ignorance. Look at these details critically. 1. No matter how stupid a court order is, all parties involved must obey it. For the avoidance of doubt, read what the supreme court said on disobedience to court order. "The Court cited their disobedience to a Court order and it went on to the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court concurred and barred all Rivers APC aspirants from participating in the 2019 General elections. Walter Onnoghen, then CJN held that the APC's desire to proceed with the Congresses despite a Court order was "condemnable, egregious and preposterous.” This was nearly case from the same state. And gladly it was the same SHC that gave the order to APC then and they disobeyed it and that cost them not to have candidates for the 2019 general elections. 2. There was an existing order from the SHC that PDP suppose to appeal but they preferred to go shopping for another order from a court of coordinate jurisdiction. On the 16th July, 2024 a SHC gave an order that a congress should not be conducted https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/714402-court-bars-pdp-from-conducting-congress-in-rivers.html&ved=2ahUKEwiAyffN3_SKAxVDUUEAHWxfMxsQFnoECCIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3ZnRG8BK4oB9vj_Tg4Bh8Q and instead to obey it, the PDP went to another court, FHC to be precised to go and shop for another order that gave them go ahead to conduct the congress on the 24th July, 2024 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://punchng.com/court-okays-rivers-pdp-congresses/&ved=2ahUKEwjQoaGa4PSKAxVgRUEAHZX2CY4QFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2sf3-__JYiPVpeSHAztbxk. On the 27th July, the same court reissue the order https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2024/07/27/court-stops-pdp-others-from-conducting-party-congress-in-rivers/&ved=2ahUKEwjQoaGa4PSKAxVgRUEAHZX2CY4QFnoECCwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1LcYNIc6jEuvu8Km4c3jqY The same 27th July, 2024, the PDP went to conduct the congress even after a court reissued the order. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/07/pdp-shuns-court-order-holds-congresses-in-rivers/&ved=2ahUKEwjQoaGa4PSKAxVgRUEAHZX2CY4QFnoECC0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw2lYZVODO919R8j7ROa23cX The reasonable question a normal human should have asked. i. Which order first came? ii. Why didn't PDP appeal the order from the SHC instead of going to shop for another? iii. Why was PDP so anxious to do the congress without doing due diligence on all court orders to safe them the day? The same order they are taken for granted and even you was the same order from the same court thy caused APC not to have candidates to field in the year 2019. My brother, no matter how stupid an order is, it must be obeyed to the last letter. The worst is to appeal it and vacate it but trying to play smart on it, will cause you to be burnt. |

gare:When the Federal High Court ruled that the PDP Congress should go ahead, was it appealed if you say its the state High court that only have the jurisdiction to entertain such matter. Why didn't Fubara approach the Appeal court to override the Federal High Court order. Stop misinformed the public. We all know you are pro Fubara and will say things to suit your gullible ipob and obedients |

Gandrova:They did. They said they defected because of an issue in PDP. They anchored it on the issue of secretary tussle in the PDP. They are unwise fellow. How would learned people like them allowed themselves to be used by just one person? How would an issue of just one post in a party cause a faction? They are unwise. |

IfnobeGod20:You are the Olodo. This is PDP matter and you are referencing APC. Did a Federal High Court order the PDP to go ahead with their Congress or not. Now you value the order of the State High court while neglecting that of the Federal High Court. I maintain only the Appeal court being a higher court can decide on the issue. Leave APC past case out of this cos during that if APC it was clear that only a state High court ruled which they disobeyed. Today Fibara is also disobeying Apoeal court judgement while relying on the judgement of a state High court concerning the 27 lawmakers. Nonsense |

Cherrybae:I had initially wanted to take you seriously, but the moment you brought up names like IPOB and Obidients, it became clear you lack depth in your analysis. No offense to them, but your arguments reflect the mindset of a roadside vendor analyst. You are not worthy of my time, as you are clearly not ready to learn or engage in meaningful dialogue. |

Wike thinks he's smart. This might actually be a setup for him by Jagaban. He might be sacked as minister after losing everything in Rivers State. Because he has no political value anymore and gradually losing control of Pdp in Rivers and nationally. Season 3 has ended. Let season 4 begin of the Rivers saga |

Cherrybae:I love your kind that always think they know something but in essence they know but nothing. Do you know what is call precedence in law or case law? You use a similar case that has been decided to judge a new case. That is why you hear in court in reference to decided cases. A case between Mr. A and Mrs. B or a case between party C and party Z. I love the way I am spoon feeding you. Court issues don't go with emotions. Law is law and cannot be bent for anyone for any reason. Mr. Man, the case in contention is a state matter within the party and not federal case. It is when it is a case between a party and federal agency that SHC cannot dabble into it. Now, you must know that FHC and SHC are the same and have same coordinate jurisdiction and the first order came from the SHC while going to FHC while there is an existing order. |

I remember those days when Sherrif was in charge of the PDP and he was wining left and right. Many haters of the PDP then were even praising him while the the opponents. sympathisers were abusing him. But the day the Supreme court broke the camel's back Amodu Sherrif disappeared into thin air. I hope many fools here will not cry when the man they are praising and supporting lose out big time at the supreme court |
