cnsprince76: Who is desperate? Clearly the loser at Supreme Court, Andy Uba, Odua & Co, are very desperate, and according to insiders, have bribed the INEC consortium lawyers with $5 million dollars to stop the INEC from withdrawing the Andy Uba, Odua and Co's Cert. of Returns and issuing same to Oguebego [Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka & Co] winners at the Supreme Court. Andy Uba, Odua & Co are just wistling past the grave yard, buying extra time at the Senate. But that charade will end in about 2 weeks from now. Do you expect the Supreme Court to change its rulling granting all 5 prayers of Oguebego Group, 2 weeks from now? The answer is NO. So the case is over. Andy Uba, Odua & Co, are OUT, and Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka & HOR members on their list are IN!!! |

Yes high court can upturn supreme court rulings if supreme court made mistake and refused to interpret it. Sometime in Nigeria a Supreme court judgment was appealed to a state high court and the appellant won against Gani Fawemi in the lower court. (Google it) . |
Re: Federal High Court Judge Overrules Supreme Court over Sacked Anambra Lawmakers. by Osyabj: 7:02am On Feb 21, 2016 |
WhoRUDeceiving: No actually the Oguebego group campaigned heavily for the election and were the acutal winners. Note that the Oguebego list was removed by INEC, about 5 days before the election, pursuant to the Andy Uba, Odua & Co's "procured" Appeal Court order, which was subsequently set aside by the Supreme Court. So but for corrupt INEC consortium lawyers who reportedly received $5 million bribe, INEC would have simply withdrawn Andy Uba, Odua & Co's Cert. of Return and issue new Cert' of Return to Oguebego group of Chris Uba, Okonkwo, Emeka and Co. |

The supreme court started this rascality. They overruled everybody; the tribunals, the appeal court, even against clear cases of breach of the electoral laws. Now, its payback time. The next will be in election rascality where they have given judicial (tacit) approval for self help in election contests. Now, the rule is kill as you can in the name of an election, write results in your house, and as long as you can ferry the result sheets to INEC and you are declared winner, the supreme court will be there for you. Its shameful. |

Why is there always a counter judgment between the two courts and why would a lower court of jurisdiction annulled case already decided by the higher court of jurisdiction. It's quite obvious that the federal high court is compromised and the judgment should be subjugated for its lack of power to decide on matter already decided by the apex court. For crying out loud, supreme court decision is the final decision and her judgement is the final order in any case must stand. |

Osyabj: Perhaps you are right on what transpired. I'll take your word. Yet, let's face facts. On election day, there names were not on ballot. Period. The common sense thing would be to either have a new election, or disqualify the political party that could not get their act right. If this was the case, Amaechi would not have been "installed" governor without even being on the official ballot to waste 8 years there. |
Re: Federal High Court Judge Overrules Supreme Court over Sacked Anambra Lawmakers. by Osyabj: 8:08am On Feb 21, 2016 |
WhoRUDeceiving: Well am certain you know fully well, that NO NAMES appear on the ballots in Nigeria. Only Party logos appear on the ballots. Names appear ONLY on the INEC website. Oguebego names stayed on the INEC website throughout the campaign and Oguebego candidates campaigned heavily for the election, until 5 days before the election, when INEC removed the Oguebego names from their website and replaced it with NOW Sup. CT, rulled, INVALID caretaker/ad hoc list of Andy Uba, Odua & Co. |

The issue is that we the anambrian has come to realize what we never knew before about some certain individuals who rom around making the state ungovernable. Some even forgot that the foul dosent forget who removes his feathers during the raining season. But in my state they easly forget.look at what is happening now in the fold of brotherhood where the foul has forgotten who reposition them in life when all hopes must have been lost.their is a traditional say that goes this way.dont touch a lion on the tail whether asleep or dead.look at the good category of young blood who should have come together and form an alliance of development in the state with their massive experience in their areas of hustle The likes of Prof dora (late) sir chukwuma soludo, author PN okeke, senator Andy uba, sir ifeanyi ubah capital oil, sir chukwuma innoson motors, ibeto, , chief sir v.c ofolebe, chika chidoka (FRSCN) MAMA ANAMBRA ETIABA.peter obi.chris ngige .and many more likes in hundreds fold ,but some chose to walk on lonely part causing destruction to the same state they are to rebuild, I have a massage for them time will come when event will over take you.come together and build our home . |

Osyabj: In all actuality, even though logo's appear on ballet, Inec has an official list of who is the candidate on election day, and therefore they are on the ballot, represented by the party logo. This is actually the problem because then, anyone can by virtue of being a nominee of a party, or party faction, can be "installed" as the "victor" when they did not contest. Instead, a rerun should have been called in by Inec and/or, the party in question disqualified. Just saying |

Osyabj:If you would just stop insulting Judges who are clearly better than you would ever be then, perhaps one could listen to you although you have no point. You come here, hide under the anonymity of the Internet & call people "brown envelope" Judges. You make other fantastic allegations about Senior lawyers receiving millions of dollars in bribes. ALL WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. Once a person or the parties he supports loses a decision in Nigeria these days, then the judiciary is corrupt: if he wins, then the judiciary is the last hope of the common man. Some of you who write these trash are useless brigands who cannot tie the shoe laces of the people you open your smelly mouth to abuse. Nairaland better do something about these posters who constantly take pleasure in vilifying our judiciary; no nation that makes nonsense of that important arm of the Republic will go far. Make no mistake: criticism of judgments are allowed AND IN FACT ENCOURAGED; that is how the law develops & grows because no one, not even judges know it all. If it was the days when appeals still lie to WACA or Privy Council, many Supreme Court decisions would be over turned. Judges can and do err in their decisions simply because they are human beings not necessarily because they were bribed. I am not also saying that we do not have bad eggs who take bribe but to just come & publish wild & patently false allegations is unacceptable. Critique of judgments have its rules: stick to canvassing arguments in support of any position you assert & don't push motives that are only subjective & and in respect of which you have no proof. Happily you have informed us that the SC will soon make clarifications so we shall see. Meanwhile, although Nairaland is not the ideal venue to press these arguments, I will briefly respond to the points you made. First of all, Excos & or factions DO NOT conduct primaries so even if a court invalidates the primaries conducted by any "faction", it cannot affect Odua & co because the primaries from which they emerged was conducted by the NEC. I am not at my base, else I would publish the relevant sections of the PDP Constitution. If the "primaries" from which the people you support was conducted by a State Exco, then it has no place in the PDP Constitution. According to you, the SC after allowing the appeal of your group merely reinstated the judgment of the Federal High Court & you have set out what those orders are. It is obvious therefore that as at the time the FHC made its orders, the general elections had not been held nor had anyone been declared winner nor issued Certificates of Return. Therefore the FHC decision allegedly restored by the SC never withdrew anyone's Certificate of Return nor did it order your candidates to be issued said Certificates. Indeed, since neither the FHC, CA & SC ordered the withdrawal of the Certificates of Return of Oduah & Co. & it's issue to their opponents, ON WHAT EXACTLY does your group base its hue & cry for your candidates to be issued said Certificates without which they cannot come near the National Assembly? Which ORDER OF COURT are they seeking to enforce? As at the day, Oduah & Co stood election, they were valid candidates of the PDP by virtue of the subsisting Orders of the Court of Appeal; THEIR ELECTION WAS VALID. You should DISTINGUISH this from a situation where INEC ignored the order of the FHC to allow Oduah & Co contest. That is where There would have been a problem which is not the case here. That difference is vital, think about it because I can't write a full exposition on it here. A certificate of Return can only be withdrawn if there is an EXPRESS order of Court first nullifying the election of the affected candidate & then ordering the Certificate to be withdrawn; that is not the case here. So what the SC settled was really an "ACADEMIC QUESTION" which they would normally refuse to do but also sometimes settle as a guidance, but such questions even if settled hardly confers any benefits on the litigants. Some one mentioned Amaechi's case in another post & my short response is that that case is no longer applicable law in Nigeria. The decision by the SC in the Amaechi case in respect of the 2007 elections was so perverse, that the National Assembly in amending the ELECTORAL ACT in 2010 inserted the provisions of S. 141 for the very first time in our electoral jurisprudence. Read it & let us know how in your wildest imagination, your candidates can be issued Certificates of Return. Remember we are talking about Statutory Law not judicial pronouncements. Someone in another post talked about my earlier reference of names being or not being in the ballot: yes, when we say a person's name is on the ballot on the day of an election, we are not saying it is written on the ballot paper; of course only names of political parties & their logos are there. It is just the expression used to state who is flying the flag of the party. But note that while the name of the authentic candidate is not on the ballot papers, it appears on the MOST IMPORTANT electoral document: the Form EC 8E: Declaration of Results. Without the Form EC 8E bearing the name of a person as having contested an election, INEC BY LAW cannot issue a Certificate of Return to such person. I am sorry to piss on your parade, but your group is barking up the wrong tree. Your candidates do not have any Form EC 8E containing their names as candidates in the election, so no amount of shouting, crying & sentiments can assist you. People do not understand that the Law is very complex whence once issues are above their heads, they resort to insults & unsubstantiated allegations of bribery of Judges. As I said in my earlier post, neither your candidates nor Oduah & her group were parties to the case already decided right from the FHC, CA & SC so how do you think any Court Orders can be made for or against any of them? 2 Likes |

Bigchief46: Its obvious that despite your useless thesis, you admitted that JUDGES DO IN FACT TAKE BRIBE. Fact is, as President Buhari noted, and as EFCC acting chair, Magu also noted, the CORRUPT judiciary is the main problem of this nation. Like it or not virtually all Supreme Court judges if not all, at one point or the other in their career, have INDEED COLLECTED BRIBES! However, their days of collecting bribes and hiding under the cover of "erring decision" is about to come to an end. You know that the Buhari's AGF, Malami, is on record of stating that CORRUPT judges, upon conviction will now GO TO JAIL, not ,merely dismissed by NJC as its been done upto now. Until CORRUPT judges in Nigeria are sent away for many years in jail, as its done in advanced democracies, like the US , where many corrupt judges are in jail today, Nigerian judges will continue to COLLECT BRIBES and continue to pervert the course of JUSTICE! Now back to the matter at hand, Andy Uba, who reportedly bribed the Appeal Court to procure its "judgement" has a habit of going back to Court for useless "interpretation" of a decision that is plain. After been kicked out as Governor of Anambra, Andy Uba, went back to Court for interpretation. Unless the Sup. CT is hopelessely CORRUPT, their "interpretation" of their decision, just a few days ago, granting all 5 Prayers of Oguebego group, will NOT change. Why then but for BRIBERY, will judge Kolawale, grant Andy Uba and Co, interim injunction pending "interpretation" of Supreme CT decison. Your other points regarding this matter, are immaterial to the Sup. CT's affirmation of the Justice Chukwu's FHC's decision. Those points were argued before the Sup. Ct, yet the Sup. Court granted all Oguebego Group's 5 prayers. This case is therefore closed. Rest be assured Buhari will inventually purge and jail all CORRUPT judges in Nigeria in order fot this nation to move forward. |
