Court To INEC: Recognize Sheriff's Candidates In Edo, Ondo. by Fmartin(op): 10:58pm On Jun 30, 2016
BREAKING!
Court to INEC: Recognize Sheriff’s candidates in Edo, Ondo
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting list of candidates for the governorship elections in Edo and Ondo from other leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) except from the Ali Modu Sheriff-led National Working Committee (NWC).


Justice Okon Abang in a ruling also granted an order of interlocutory injunction restraining INEC, the PDP and their agents from dealing with or according any facility required by law (regarding the gubernatorial elections to be conducted by INEC in Edo and Ondo states) to any other persons or group other than the Sheriff, Prof. Wale Oladipo and Fatai Adeyanju -led NWC of the party

The judge directed INEC and the PDP and their agents to “recognize, deal with and accord all facilities required by law on the Sheriff group.

Justice Abang further directed INEC and the PDP to “reject and ignore any activity (including primary elections/congresses for the nomination of candidates for the gubernatorial elections in Edo and Ondo states, purportedly conducted on behalf of the 2nd defendant (PDP) by any other persons or group of persons other than the Sheriff group.


The judge said the interlocutory orders are to subsist pending the determination of the substantive suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/439/2016 filed by two governorship aspirants of the PDP in Edo and Ondo States – Chief Benson Akingboye (Ondo) and Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma (Edo)

Pastor Ize Iyamu Igbinedion is finished. Ali Modu Sheriff is the authentic PDP chairman. He is the only one that can transform PDP. Up PDP!!!

When Buhari say judiciary will be his biggest problem you people wan kill am. You see it now. Two different verdicts from different court.
Re: Court To INEC: Recognize Sheriff's Candidates In Edo, Ondo. by dimieprincess(f): 6:12am On Jul 01, 2016
I never knew Abang Okon is this kind of cash and carry judge. While seeing in at the FHC, Ikoyi, I thought he is a judge with integrity.
An High Court of FCT has nullified the election of the man by reason of error over the amendment that brought in the man, yet you are just giving bench ruling any how.

During Jonathan era, you gave same useless rulings now Buhari era same thing.

Blake Guobadia, Laide, Kabiru Yusuf and co, come and see yo Justice Okon Abang ooooooooooo
Re: Court To INEC: Recognize Sheriff's Candidates In Edo, Ondo. by JingoOAU(m): 6:38am On Jul 01, 2016
In the voice of the wailers, Buhari has bribed the Judge who happens to be from the 5%

If PDP don't crumble, Sherriff would not leave

Trust my words

This is the best of time to give spiritual, financial and physical support to the cause of Sheriff so that he can navigate PDP to the path of doom and destruction the same way PDP destroy Nigeria

We never had issues with Tafawa Balewa, Shehu Shagari and we massively voted for Yaradua against your scam god Buhari who even had our illustrious son, Okadigbo as a running mate at a time.

My brother, your problem is not 1gbos, it's within you. Better see a doctor, a psychiatrist if I may suggest.wink

Even before opening this page, I knew it would be Justice Okon Abang also known as APC JUDGE

Fair trial ended with GEJ's administration.
Re: Court To INEC: Recognize Sheriff's Candidates In Edo, Ondo. by teemanbastos(m): 7:26am On Jul 01, 2016
The Court is the hope of the common man but what I'm concerned about is the way the Judiciary is being dragged into murky waters.
Also, what is Sheriff's goal? Is it to let APC win by landslides in the elections? Because the primary Ize Iyamu won witnessed mass turnout unlike sheriff's.
So if there was scanty turnout at primary then how will such candidate have a chance at the main the main?

I think PDP should change name,they keep going down daily without any hope.
We need a Viable Opposition in Nigeria abeg.

Sheriff is the best leader that the PDP has ever had. The party has a history of rubbishing those that sacrificed for the party and putting thieves and looters in authority.

They collected Ali Modu Haram's money and now want to kick him out? Kolewerk!
Re: Court To INEC: Recognize Sheriff's Candidates In Edo, Ondo. by fulanimafia: 7:29am On Jul 01, 2016
Sherriff is the man to raise the bones of the PDP.

Sherriff and Fayose are the saviors and navigators that the party has been waiting for.

Buhari's days as President are numbered with this winning combo. 2nd term dead on arrival.

I wonder what was in the minds of people that brought Ali Modu Sheriff and even gave the party's top spot. This man has psychological problem and the current happenings will no doubt affect PDP chances.
