Nigerians and confusion...

Now the judges are no longer bribed? Lol.

Weird humans.

Cyberterror:
The court never said that David Mark is the authentic chairman. INEC still has the constitutional right to decide the authentic ADC leadership.

DeLaRue:
INEC removing Mr Mark's name wasn't even a big thing, just as his name being restored doesn't change anything.

It is the outcome of the cases in the lower courts that are yet to be decided that matter.

If his name is removed and he wins those cases, then his name will have to be reinstalled.

Equally, if his name is reinstalled and his camp loses the cases at the lower court, his name will be removed, even if it's August, October or whenever.

In essence, it is the outcome of the cases that matter. The rest is noise.

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu should start writing his hand over note.

He's a goner!

It's over for him and Wike.


Massive defections into the ADC especially from the north in the coming days.

Congratulations to sane Nigerians, We Move

babajero:
Even with the ANTE BELLUM inec chairman doesn't have the right to take such decision, what inec chairman can do or should have done is to go to the court for interpretation and not acting as a court on its own.

Cyberterror:
But the Supreme Court just told you that courts have no power in the internal affairs of parties. So which court will compel INEC to do anything concerning their internal dispute? Do tell.

Bankowner:
I don't know about these things, but I beg to disagree concerning INEC having the constitutional power to decide who the authentic leader of a political party is.

Cyberterror:
I assure you that INEC will not upload the names of Mark and his ursupers to their portal. The Supreme Court has left INEC to be fully in charge now and no legal remedy for the aggrieved.

koning:
Just imagine the question you're asking me?!

Compulsion does not have to come from the courts. The constitution and the electoral acts compels INEC to do the right thing.

Have you forgotten that INEC is just a referee. An impartial referee at that, regardless of who appoints the chairman.

This is my last response to your questions.

Note: Referring the case back to the FHC is just a formality from the supreme court. The judge of the FHC will throw out the case formally. That's what the supreme court asked him to do. It was out of respect for the FHC.

alsudan:
Tinubu is Gone!

Status Quo Ante Bellum Set aside.

Dele Alake, Sunday Dare and Bayo Onanuga can start typing Tinubu's hand over note.

casualobserver:
Comments here show just how poorly educated our so called educated Nigerians are.


The supermen court says return to the federal high court and answer the case. All they did was remove the ante-belum order. But that is now irrelevant because the David mark leadership was declared invalid yesterday.

DeLaRue:
I have not read the judgement but if as it is being reported, the Supreme Court has quashed the Court of Appeal's order to return to the previous status quo, then INEC has no choice but to reinstall Mr Mark's name.

The only issue now is yesterday's Federal High Court judgement which barred INEC from recognising the Mr Mark-led leadership.

OgwuEgo:
That's a lower court the supreme Court is the highest.

maestroferddi:
You are trying to console yourself so we can relate...

What was the judgement of yesterday, if I may ask?

You are funny I have to say...

Why is it difficult for you to see that this latest judgement has made yesterday's hastily procured ruling an academic exercise?

Or is a Federal High Court now superior to the Supreme Court?

Whatever you are parading as a judgement stemmed from the obscure ruling of the Court of Appeal in asking that the status ante bellum be maintained instead striking out the reliefs sought for for fundamentally lacking merit.

The Supreme Court averred that the Court of Appeal was not supposed to have entertained jurisdiction over that case brought before it giving the legal precedence set by the apex court in sundry cases.

sleek214:
Nice one. I knew it was going Mark's way. The way Atiku carried on with his campaign unhinged. PDP will also be with Makinde and both parties will present one strong candidate in the person of Atiku . With this ruling, defection window is open. ADC should give its governorship ticket in Lagos to a matured, appealing person oo, not that LP guy .

pavoda:
Inec did not file a counter Affidavit in court. They have no legitimate horse in this race except of course they want to play to the gallery

Lanretoye:
the judiciary is not compromised now

Cyberterror:
Mark's faction of ADC has only one week left to submit their membership register to INEC to enable them conduct primaries. Without his name and that of his secretary on INEC portal, no correspondence can be accepted from him. You get?

Can they conclude their case at the FHC in one week?

goslowgoslow:
Unemplöyed youth.... every post na Tinubu Tinubu Tinubu ..... your hatred for Tinubu is making you to love him.

Misterone:
Case should head back to the court of first instance! Does that mean the usurpers won? The situation is even more deadly now!

Cyberterror:
You are contradicting yourself. A referee takes decisions. He can award a penalty, issue a red card, stop a match etc. INEC has so much powers and they can settle a dispute in a party in a manner that seem fair to them as the referee.

koning:
Where did you learn your law?

Do you have details of the judgement?

INEC has zero rights in deciding who is or will be the chairman of a political party. If the supreme cannot make that decision, how on earth do you think INEC can. It's strictly an internal affair of any association of people.
