The Appeal Court also upheld the suspension of Anyanwu, etc who were earlier suspended by the Damagum-Executive.

This invariably means their own leadership who has these suspended leaders are also not in-charge. Party will likely be headed by BoT/NEC.

This judgement is a terrible twist and must not allow to stand .

The criminal legal system being operated by APC is very dangerous.

If PDP had behaved this way ,all the legal battles ACN won in South west that made them and Tinubu gather some strength to form a good opposition wouldn't happen so why are they using court to kill and destroy democracy in Nigeria?

Why will they call something at is white black ?

This is a disgrace




HOW DOES PDP ISSUES CONCERN APC NOW? ABI YOU JUST WAN DRAG AN INNOCENT PARTY IN THIS MATTER TO YOUR PROBLEM NI. TELL YOUR PARTY TO FOLLOW HER CONSTITUTIONS.

But if same thing happens in APC ,the court will rule in favor of APC that it's an internal APC affairs so court can not interfere


What a country

So we now have two different laws
One that must destroy opposition
And
One that must support APC



This is criminal legal system in display

Gentledove2001:
This is funny.

See how the supporters of failed governor and agulu president, the fake statistics man will jump on this thread as if their oga is a member of pdp

@fergie001. What will now happen?
What is the way forward because this judgement is pure rubbish and a disgrace to democracy.
Killing opposition and using court to empower certain individuals

fergie001:
The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has upheld the Federal High Court judgement stopping the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan. The Appeal Court consolidated all nine appeals emanating from the National Convention.

.. but the supreme court did not upheld the suspension of anyanwu..the supreme court told PDP to settle their matters by within themselves that the court have no jurisdiction over leadership problems in a political party

fergie001:
Who formed the National Caretaker Committee?
Abdulrahman made himself Chairman.

When a Party's EXCO has its tenure expired, the Board of Trustees/NEC of the Party takes over.

Mumu Makinde will still want to proceed to Supreme Court!
What they should do is very simple: as family seat at the table over champagne and nutritious meal to resolve the differences!

Ugwu v. Ararume (2007) 12 NWLR (Pt. 1048) 365

The Supreme Court ruled against the
People's Democratic Party for wrongfully substituting a candidate.
“A political party must obey its constitution and the Electoral Act.”

Lado v. CPC (2011) 18 NWLR (Pt. 1279) 689
The Court ruled that courts can intervene when party rules or statutes are violated.
“Where a political party fails to follow its own constitution, the court will not fold its arms.”

Section 84(14)
This section gives locus standi to challenge party processes.
“An aspirant who complains that any of the provisions of this Act and the guidelines of a political party have not been complied with in the selection or nomination of a candidate may apply to the Federal High Court, State High Court or FCT High Court for redress.”

Section 84(13)
One of the most cited provisions in Nigerian political litigation:
“Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this Act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for election shall not be included in the election for the particular position.”

With this I feel the court is right

mrvitalis:
PDP should make sure they go to supreme Court so this becomes a law

We all know now u don't need 25% in Abuja to be President that one has ended

seunmsg:
Did the court of appeal give a consequential order in respect of this your position? A federal high court earlier ordered INEC to recognize the caretaker committee I think and as at today, Abdulrahman is the recognized national chairman. This judgement hasn’t changed the status quo. The next step should be for the caretaker committee to quickly organize a national convention. See this battle over the control of PDP ehn, Wike is not going to lose it. You can take that to the bank.

Akpakomiza2:
Once again, I keep telling you that a court can adjudicate on matters of internal affairs where a party disobeys it's own rules

fergie001:
They didn't because Abdulrahman or the Caretaker were not parties to the suit.

For Abdulrahman, his case is before the Appeal Court in Ibadan. Again, his Secretary's suspension has been validated meaning anything he is doing or has done with Anyanwu's signature is null and void.

Akpakomiza2:
Who suspended Anyanwu? The Turaki led Nwc or NEC

fergie001:
with or without locus?
My argument has not always surrounded the internal affairs,, I know Kekere-Ekun in one of her judgements dealt with this.

My argument has been that all 3 plaintiffs at the lower court had no locus to institute same.

Akpakomiza2:
They are party members, exco members and would be affected by the decision of the court or party

fergie001:
We have seen the Court invalidate adhoc members by virtue of the fact that they are not aspirants. Are they not also Party members?

Orlandoo:
Wike can continue using the judiciary to derail our democracy, but tyrants don't end well.

johngwain:
Judiciary is one of the biggest problem in Nigeria, so many crook Judges, messing up the judicial system, they see white and say it's black.
