You Can’t Bluff Your Way Out Of A Legal Conundrum- Keyamo To David Mark’s ADC

The David Mark’s faction of the ADC really think they can use emotional reasoning and blackmail to bluff their way out of a purely legal conundrum they brought upon themselves. Unfortunately for them, law does not admit of sentiment. Decisions are based on facts, evidence, and the interpretation of laws, rather than on sympathy, emotion or political considerations.

All those who are arguing about ‘status quo ante bellum’ are dispensing their time and energy chasing shadows and not the substance. This is because whether INEC recognises either faction for now is irrelevant: what is relevant is that there is a challenge regarding the take-over of the Party pending in court by a duly elected Deputy National Chairman. As long as that case remains in court, all the actions of either faction MAY end up being nugatory AFTER the deadline for nominations of candidates by INEC. The implication is that the ADC may end up having NO CANDIDATE for the election.

Therefore, instead of vilifying INEC, the ADC should rather thank INEC for this timely action of de-recognising both factions BEFORE the close of the window for nominating candidates. It has duly forewarned the Party of the danger ahead and opened a window for them to either find a new, risk-free platform or ask for accelerated hearing of the case in court, or politically settle the leadership question in the Party quickly.

To keep blaming imaginary opponents or INEC is purely mischievous: neither APC nor INEC prodded these grown adults and supposedly ‘experienced’ politicians to go and hijack an existing platform without sound legal advice and without properly sorting out every member of the leadership of that existing platform.

They say they will proceed with their congresses and Convention despite INEC’s decision and the ruling of the Court of Appeal. That is fine by us.

NEVER INTERRUPT YOUR OPPONENT WHEN HE IS MAKING A MISTAKE

David mark and co think they are above the law.

The funny thing about this group of old expired 🤡s is how they quickly blame others for there own doing. Is this how they will keep throwing blames even if they are lucky go get power? God forbid though

NEVER INTERRUPT YOUR OPPONENT WHEN HE IS MAKING A MISTAKE

This is the best part of Keyamo’s submission. Sadly, ADC’s response so far doesn’t show any seriousness. They want to remain on the path of illegality by trying to blackmail INEC and Mr. President. Sadly, it won’t work.

If they want to be on the ballot, they better find a way to settle with Bala Gombe or move out of ADC to a new party that has no legal encumbrances.

An attempt by an opposition party to bully the electoral umpire into accepting actions that are clearly inconsistent with the Electoral Act is one of the most astonishing developments I have encountered.

If anything of that nature were to occur, it would more plausibly be associated with a ruling party, and even then, it would quickly attract public scrutiny and condemnation. Politics is not an unregulated spare-parts marketplace, it operates within defined legal boundaries.

Intimidation is no substitute for due process.

Interprete nah, are you not a SAN again 😂

Shebi David Mark’s name was in INEC portal before..
INEC is confused

The ADC guys should join PRP.

I have a feeling only Tinubu and Sowore will contest the next Presidential election.

One Nairalander used to make this joke last year and it's already looking like a reality.

Jokers...

SW will bleed if they dont get Oduduwa Republic.

Anyway..kwantinue

Keyamo fighting everybody from Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Obi, Atiku, David Mark

If that is the case. apc should have allowed ADC go into 2027 election knowing that even if ADC wins the court will nullify it.

Why then is the apc trying to put ADC house together

Can't these Tinubu lackeys and political bandits see the live video where the so called hungry Nafiu Bala they just promised heaven and earth was at the venue of the ADC unveiling of their new leadership smiling as David Mark was made ADC Chairman? He was happy and joyous until APC came with their devil's offer

The thing about you people is that when tables turn you abandon Nairaland and view posts as guests.

But the PDP has cases in court yet INEC recognises the Wike faction and working with them.

There are leadership cases against PDP so why is the ADC being treated differently?

IN A NORMAL SOCIETY D RULING PARTY TENDS TO B CARELESS & RECKLESS WHILE OPPOSITION TENDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY LITTLE DETAILS

IRONICALLY TODAY'S OPPOSITION HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR SO LONG DEY ARE CARELESS THINKING DEY CAN USE THREATS ND FORCE..

WHILE TINUBU FOR A MAN IN POWER PAYS WAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ND MISTAKES

Isn't it disgraceful that the person dragging position with David Mark in ADC is too low to him politically

That's how the politicians can stoop sometimes

An opposition that are yet to put their house in order when the election is just a year, they are yet to have congress or primary election oo but already scattering each other

What an unserious desolated opposition

David Mark is as elitist as they come.

He still thinks he is in power.

Imagine him threatening to sack the INEC chairman - a position that only the Senate has the powers to remove via impeachment.

ADC is trapped. They are even boasting of going ahead with their convention on April 9 with or without INEC. Useless people that cannot tidy their political party want to 'rescue' Nigeria. .

Has this one provided light on the run way. Tinubu contesting against himself doesn't take him beyond 2027. Keyamo is a big scammer, even as a lawyer. Status quo means stay action.

Because there is a court order ordering INEC to recognize the Wike faction.

Mr Man go face your ministry
Leave Opposition Politics analysis

INEC can keep quiet and allow them to continue. After nominations are done and closed Gombe can win his case and that will mean that ADC will not field any candidate. ADC will start shouting that Tinubu wants to be the sole candidate. This scenario happened to APC in Zamfara and Rivers under Buhari and all elected people were dismissed. ADC should buy good wine for INEC and thank them.

D LAW IS NOT EMOTIONAL MY DERE BRODA...
ASK UR LEADERS HOW DEY MANAGED TO HIJACK A POLITICAL PARTY WITHOUT GETTING A PERSONAL WRITTEN COMMITMENT WITH A SIGNATURE FROM D NUMBER 2 MAN OF D PARTY..

DEY KNOW DEY CNT WIN NAFIU. DATS WHY DEY RAN TO D APPEAL COURT..
D APPEAL COURT HAS SENT DEM BACK TO D HIGH COURT TO EXAMINE D CASE..
INSTEAD OF OBEYING D APPEAL COURT DEY ARE HEADING TO SUPREME COURT TO WASTE TIME

What was the ruling of the court in PDP case?

Atiku, obi and their gang are so foolish and shameless to come and hijacked a party a young man Kachukwu built and managed properly and think they can intimidate him and pushed him aside.

We have all the copy of all the process in our hand how they bluffed the young man and from nowhere hijacked his party without proper legal pathway we waited patiently for them, we waited patiently for Kwakwanso to make the mistake and join them after having obi, Mark, mallam, el rufai we already saw the loopholes but keep our cool to strike at the right time and they ran into our trap and we got them, we haven't finish yet in the next few weeks we will make sure atiku, obi, el rufai, kwakwanso, mallami, aregbe, Mark etc are partiless they will be hanging in the middle with no party they belong and we won't allow them to register any new party.

Strategically we are extremely sound and mastery, we sabi the game, bring it on we will crash it.

This man self. Be feeling like King Kong

And the same court has said return to your position before you approached the court.

Was there ever no leadership in the ADC? David Mark was sitting as chairman before the court eas approached

Of course, they won't try any Congress or Convention .

The status quo the court is referring to is pre David Mark hijacking the party.

So the deputy Chairman automatically will assume the position of acting Chairman since he is arguing he never resigned.

That Nwosu of a character will face the full brunt of the law for forging a notice to INEC he signed and sent as the National Chairman 2 months after he resigned notifying INEC that the deputy had resigned.

So what position was Malam Gomber before the court was approached? Use your brain? He was the substantive national vice chairman who should have taken over after Ralph Nwosu resigned as chairman and not David Mark. So this is the status quo ante belum or whatever they call it.
