Directive of the president is not law. Adelabu who contested in Oyo state also resigned after 30th of March.
it's in the electoral act to resign before contesting. The president only reminded them

Over wisdom is bad
The people that create the law will definitely use the same law to injure themselves
Wike too wise and e don turn problem for him neck
Chinda forgot to resign
He will be disqualified
And since no runner up in the primary
APC is gone
Maybe Fubara though it wisely enough and aborted the primary venture

He must have seen this coming before
Sometimes someone you think is not wise may outsmart you in a painful way

Chinda can only cry

Effort in futility. The plaintiffs lack the locus standi to institute the case. They are not even members of APC not to talk of being participants in the said primary election. The choice of a party’a candidate is strictly the business of the party and no one else.
When it involves your dear APC you wanna turn the law upside down

How can he be a minority leader at the same time a party candidate of the ruling party that is a big flaw. I hope is defection to APC was read on the floor of the house and therefore relinquishing his position as a minority leader.
Which he never did.....

Very bold decision by the Court. How can you represent two political parties as a stakeholder in both
Same Thing that disqualified Rochas son in-law ... He was in APC and came 2nd with AA..

You are not in Rivers state and you don't know what is going on. Why did they sue the two candidates with affiliation to wike? Why did they not sue fubara? Fubara is fond of using mushroom groups to fight his opponents, he did the same thing too in the state during his fight with the assembly. He used similar mushroom groups to affirm Edison Ehie as speaker.
I pray it's true shaa..
I know same fubara will use his brother to win election as his stood just like yahaya bello is doing with Ododo

And George Alabo-Kelly will replace Chinda as APC governorship candidate.
It will still be a a Win for Wike's camp..
"...However, with George-Kelly having withdrawn from the primary, Chinda’s emergence as APC gubernatorial candidate is now under threat going by the reliefs sought in the lawsuit.
Specifically, the plaintiff asked the court for “an order directing INEC not to recognize or accord validity to the participation, nomination and/or candidature of the 1st and 2nd defendants/respondents (Chinda and George-Kelly) in the APC Rivers State governorship primary election” pending the determination of the suit
..."

They have a mostly good case though the prosecution seems to be contradicting itself in some areas

So you mean a minority leader that is in PDP will go to APC and win the governorship primary ticket because everyone in APC in the state are not human being ?!

What type of criminality is that ?
And you are supporting this ?

Sad

braveboi4life:
This appears to be a very strong case with substantial supporting evidence. There are no records indicating that he resigned from his party, PDP,before defecting; therefore, his nomination as a candidate could be legally challenged. I also believe the matter may have the backing of some influential political figures.

However, if he is eventually disqualified either before or after the election it could mean that the candidate who came second during the primaries may step in. Unfortunately, all of the other aspirants did not participate in the primaries, which could further complicate the situation.

The Rivers political crisis is only just beginning.
U only said the truth by half

The party that came second in the election will take over power 😂

Wike has finally succeeded in dribbling himself..

When a man thinks he is too wise, he will likely forget that the gods are wiser..

Wike, it us you vs Rivers in 2027.. Rivers no go gree for you..

You will continue to have sleepness night, that I am sure you have.

It is the same Fubara who you were sympathetic to who sponsored these miscreants to approach the court when he thought he was going to get the ticket. A snake will always be a snake and it can never change. I hope you now know that wike has been vindicated.
Because you were there when fubara sponsored them .
Because wike is the owner of Rivets state .

If a mosquito fly pass you ,it's fubara.

But it's ok and smart for u when ur wike is destroying people everywhere

What concerns them, are they registered members of the APC, did they participate in the so called selection of Chinda?

APC has chosen their candidate, go & tell whoever u want that he is not qualified because the APC is your property.

The man is the next governor of Rivers State as long as he has life.
Stop screaming over the thread.

The people who filed court cases against Tinubu's eligibility and other matters were never APC members undecided

He is still the minority leader in the house and PDP member before the primaries
And still a PDP member.
His party is now rainbow coalition.

Wike will use his influence to make China scale through but that clause of 'not resigning from PDP, double party membership' will be used to checkmate him in case he starts to behave like Fubara.
That's how godfathers keep their subordinates in check.

Nobody is representing two political parties, a lot of Nigerians on social media are not properly educated. OK chinda resigned from PDP at the Ward level and registered as a member of the APC on April 27, the fact that he did not announce it in the National Assembly doesn't invalidate his defection. There is nowhere in our constitution where it is stated that you must announce your defection in the legislative chambers so this case sponsored by Fubara is already dead on arrival.
APC has ruined this country politically. So you mean that Chinda resigned secretly at ward level, told them to keep it secret, then kept quiet at national lever and never mentioned his defection at the house. The fact remains that judiciary is bought already. Chinda won't loose the case because it is already a thought out plan.

This people will forever keep deceiving the gullible public, what kind of nonsense legislative drafting NGO is this, they are working for Nyesom Wike, who are dey?

Under the law, only the persons that participated in the selection, can file a petition.

The Judge is throwing it out immediately, they will receive a 100 million Naira transfer next week for playing their part.
Candidate eligibility is the case here, not party primaries.
