Akpakomiza2:
They are aspirants but where not allowed to buy forms

They didn't attempt to buy forms.
Even in their suit filed, they never mentioned that. (I have Onotosho's full judgement) and can share.

Only Lamido had that problem and sued. They hinged their complaints mainly on:

1. 14 States didn't conduct successful Congresses.

2. 21 sufficient days wasn't given to INEC. Infact their argument was that a total of 43 days before the National Convention, PDP gave 39 days. INEC also admitted this and that date, place or venue wasn't given for those Congresses.

3. Documents must have to bear Anyanwu's signature to be valid.

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

But if same thing happens in APC ,the court will rule in favour 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

You are only lamenting and saying nothing. This ruling is very sound and can stand any juriprudencial scrutiny.

Wike is gradually ending the era of one of the most powerful political party in Africa with his wicked and manipulative mind set.

Geebabs:
I think our judicial system is what is killing Nigeria. This should be the hope of the common man and a place where the rule of law is upheld. It seems it’s just about who you know and money. So sad.

Nope! Some of you feel just because there is a Cancer (Wike), it's all fine and good to indiscriminately start cutting body parts(Ibadan convention).

I laugh at your ignorance!

You can't do the right thing the wrong way and expect the law to affirm it. Mbannu cry from now till tomorrow, it never works.

When the chairman of the convention chose to step away from the charade because he knew it will end here and you all were celebrating the madness, you thought you knew better rightt?

Guestmale:
The Court of Appeal further held that where a political party fails or refuses to conduct its congresses or conventions in accordance with its own constitution and the provisions of the Electoral Act, such matters can no longer be regarded as purely internal affairs of the party. Instead, they become subject to judicial scrutiny.

The court emphasized that any congress or convention conducted in violation of the party’s constitution and the relevant provisions of the Electoral Act cannot stand in the eyes of the law, as such processes undermine both internal party democracy and the legal framework governing political parties.

I hope those flying the insinuation that whatever happens in a political is purely internal affairs of the party can read this.

Same thing happened in Rivers State.

Emeka Beke was the elected chairman but Wike got Ganduje to cut his tenure and replaced him with Tony Okocha...

Wike and his people running around saying court cannot interfere in party matters.

Okay

Leave grammar.

The courts normally make any judgement they want and they would have a million reasons to back it up.

If this was APC this same appeal court would never give this judgement.

Like I said, leave grammar. No law for dis country.

Sorry....It's this your "leave grammar" mentality that makes you not to know anything and be arguing the other day about the ADC with full speed ignorance! Remember?

Some of you need to grow up abeg!

ddippset:
You want to resolve with someone who has vowed to make sure Tinubu is reelected and has been working to deliver APC in all elections and has been getting PDP candidates to step down for APC?

Is that the person you want to sit at a table with?

Are you mentally Okay?

Iam more psychological balance than you! The two camps worked for Tinubu election (G5) ,so what has changed?

What the court said is right. The internal affairs of a party can only remain so if the party complies with its constitution and rules.

Imagine a man dies and leaves a will giving instructions for the equal disposal among three children. Imagine then that two of those children deprive the third of his inheritance and claim as defence that it is a family matter.

Of course the courts will entertain the aggrieved party and rule in their favour - that the secondary disposal was illegal and cannot stand.

APC prepare court cases to win, they dont rely on assumption and media campaigns. Their time in opposition has taught them a great deal. PDP must do same.

This is a common sense judgment because what this confirms is that while the court cannot interfere in internal matters like who is secretary, whose tenure is over etc but the court or anyone can interfere when the electoral act or section of the constitution is breached.

If you're objective you'll agree that the new amendments to the electoral act is to block lopeholes that bad actors like Peter Obi were using to circumvent the law example with the new law he cannot perform the same nonsense that he did by running to labour party to pick wuruwuru presidential ticket of LP without even having his name on the party register and that's why they are all crying because he knows now that his presidential aspiration will end at the ADC party primary without any legal way to run to another party

NewHe:
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!

this guy go bad oo

fergie001:
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.

Suspension for a month
They will return in April

Ebezina Akwazina eeh, na God just make am d 1st Port Harcourt and FCT Boy eeh ‼️

Eze Nyesom Wike oo (In Duncan Mighty's voice)

May your haters and enemies, never know peace, may they be in perpetual physical and emotional torment all d days of their miserable lives

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

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

Most of you guys sound so dumb sometimes.... Anyone opposed to APC automatically becomes Obi's supporter.
'It's interesting to know that Obi is so powerful that he commands supporters in other opposition parties'

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

It isn’t Wike

There was no INEC representative there

They were already informed that it was a waste of time

Pepper 🌶️ Dem Nyesom Wike Pepper 🌶️ Dem ooh ‼️

May ur haters never know peace, may they constantly be in physical and emotional torment watching u win and rule over them.

Oya dry your tears, blow catarrh flowing from your nose. Then say it again so you can feel better.

iwaeda:
Wike just ensured he destroyed PDP, but like Tinubu, they will all be history by 2027.

Jilo83:

They are referred to the National Disciplinary Committee, only that Committee can clear them.

See the online lawyers making disparaging comments on the judges. They always let emotions override their sense of reasoning. They forgot that Two judgement was given stopping the convention, yet they still went ahead to conduct it. You people will learn in a hard way.

Rebelutionary:
Emotions....smelly emotions! Nothing ever satisfied some of you!

This is like the case of a couple who have gone to court severally and the ourt kept telling them to go and settle your matter at home. Then one day, the court now looks at their matter and rules on it and this inevitably lead to the dissolution of their marriage.

The couple now turns around to blame the court for their divorce, saying this part didn't favour me! How na? No be wetin Una want be that?

Rest and leave the judiciary please!
The court has ruled

Thank you for this comment.

Orlandoo:

Did you stop to consider the reasoning of the court. The hope of the society further dims when the clear judgment of the court cannot be easily understood.

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

Supreme Court most times stick to the side of law . But you see judgements in high courts and appeal courts in Nigeria are mostly bought . I always wait for Supreme Court judgements because I don’t see the lower courts as courts but market places

However please do not go to the issue of 25 percent in abuja . That one is a no brainer . Abuja does not enjoy special privileges in an election . Abuja is not seen as a state that is why the provision states that ….in the states and the FCT . It doesn’t mean you MUST have 25-% in abuja .

The scores are now Wike 2 - 1 Makinde... Make oga Makinde kookooma leave PDP for Wike na...

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.

Thank you

So , further more , more clarification comes up in supreme Court.
This is just a delay tactics


The Bot should sit down with their legal team and provide a water tight flowchart to totally rescue PDP from APC minors

It's on the BoT now...Today's judgement shows there is no leadership in the PDP.

The Wike side will head to the Supreme Court most likely... I understand the 2 Governors will be meeting with the BoT on Wednesday.

TechToyin:
What does the law define as if internal party affairs


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.”


Section 82(1)
“Every political party shall give the Commission at least 21 days notice of any convention, congress, conference or meeting convened for the purpose of electing members of its executive committees or other governing bodies.”


With this I feel the court is right

It's obvious you don't know the difference between candidates for elective positions and party positions

Wike and those in power now, must be careful on how the use the judiciary to scuttle the aspirations of the opposition in Nigeria. This was one of the things that brought NPN down then.
Federal High Courts and State High Courts are courts of coordinate jurisdiction. How come the judgments of Federal High Courts, were taken into consideration, but the decision of the State high court, wasn't even given a mention.
PDP'S Ibadan National Convention, was validated by the State High Court, Ibadan, therefore valid, how come it's only what the Federal High Courts said that the Appeal Court Judges are paying attention to?
Nobody should blame the opposition for any weakness in the politics of Nigeria, but rather blame the Nigerian Judicial System.

This illustration is so widely offpoint it makes me cringe. Political parties are voluntary organizations to start with while families are not. Equating biological relations with social relations is cringeworthy
