I think Amaechi's case was different. His name was submitted to INEC and later withdrawn but Uzo name was never submitted
by the party.

here is an excerpt from the judgement:



Check here for more details: http://www.nigeria-law.org/LawReporting/2008/January%202008/18th%20January%202008/Rt.%20Hon.%20Rotimi%20Chibuike%20Amaechi%20v%20Independent%20National%20Electoral%20Commission%20&%20Ors.htm

LOOK AT THE KOKO OF THE JUDGEMENT.

The 3rd defendant having failed to give any cogent and verifiable reasons and there being no High Court Order disqualifying the Plaintiff

Gulak was duly appointed by the APC NWC to conduct the primaries and the primaries was duly conducted in which a winner emerged.

Exercise in futility!

If Hope Uzodinma is popular as he claims, why did he defect from the PDP to APC after Okorocha singlehandedly built APC from the scratch?


Why can't he try other parties in Imo State and ask for votes?

You simply dont know what you talking about.who told you Rochas single handedly built APC from scratch??first off,it is worthy to note that Rochas joined APC from APGA under which party he got his mandate as Governor of Imo State.When he defected to APC he even abandoned his own followers within the same APC party and they were dying in anguish.all he was interested in was acquiring wealth for himself and family alone.Ararume came and revived the APC party that rochas abandoned its followers even though he had to leave for APGA after citing the partys national leadership,particularly oshiomole isnt ready to salvage the situation because of rochas is his friend who also campaigned agressively for him to be the APC national chairman.How come 80% of imo APC faithful are against okorocha and his policies??why do you think these major stake holders in imo are fighting day and night to make sure rochas doenst impose his preferred choice of candidate on imolites??Imo lites have suffered tremendously under the leadership of Rochas.Look let me tell you.Rochas may or may not have his way to force down the throats of imolites with Uche Nwosu becoming the APC guber flag bearer.but he will not win the general elections and that will affect APC big time unless they will rig as usual.You want to tell me that those whose lands have been forcefully taken away from them,those whose only source of living has been squashed,those markets that have been destroyed,people relocating to their villages as a result of the governments fraudulent urban renewal will vote for uche nwosu as APC guber canditate?please go to imo state.the place is a complete mess!!

...popularity is not the issue here, the issue is that the people don't want another "tinubu " in their state,hence, they voted nd worked against imposing of relatives. now in ur opinion, because Okorocha built APC, it shld be his personal property. ppl like u would find it hard to sell shares of companies they created nd keep the company stunted...

LOOK AT THE KOKO OF THE JUDGEMENT.


Gulak was duly appointed by the APC NWC to conduct the primaries and the primaries was duly conducted in which a winner emerged.

The court rules on the constitution, not reasons.

Amaechi was favoured because the constitution supported his case, not because the 3rd defendant
couldn't give a reason.

It is just like the court saying: "I know what you did is wrong, but do you have any reasons for your action?"

Note: PDP declared Amaechi winner and submitted his name but later withdrew it.
There is no evidence that Uzo was ever declared a winner aside from newspapers posting pictures of a signed form.
Second, APC did not submit Uzo's name to INEC.
If push comes to shove and Gulak was called as a witness, do you think he will
be interested in principle or his political future?

Nawao, I wonder what makes some people believe that Buhari will loose in 2019 elections, is it th UN that will conduct the elections? If Buhari & co perpetuated such kind of open fraud & violence in Ekiti & Osun for their candidates then u can imagine what he will do for himself!
Even his own wife could not bear the shit given to his fellow party members in the apc primaries so imagine what he will do to the opposition.
Nigerians will witness the most rugged & crooked elections in our history in 2019, even foreign observers will not believe what their eyes will see ! Of course Buhari will win with a landslide and after all NOTHING will happen. Nigerians can be amazingly stupid!

It is easy to create a zombie but very difficult to reverse it. Guy wake up, if you are not Atikulating by now you are wrong

Obaiyski:
AN Abuja High Court on Wednesday recognized Senator Hope Uzodinma as the candidate of the party for the 2019 Imo governorship election.

The court, which was presided over by Justice O.A Musa said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must also recognize only Uzodinma as the governorship candidate in the 2019 election.

Justice O. A. Musa who gave the restraining order on Tuesday, also restrained INEC (2nd Respondent) in the case from processing or publishing the “name of any other person other than Senator Hope Uzodimma from the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the gubernatorial candidate for Imo State Governorship election for 2019” pending the determination of the substantive suit on the matter.

Uzodimma through his lawyer, Joe Agi (SAN) had approached the court seeking an order to restrain the All Progressives Congress (APC) from conducting a fresh or re-conducting another primary for the Imo State Gubernatorial primaries and INEC from monitoring or purporting to monitor any fresh primaries or re-conducted primaries by the APC in Imo State Gubernatorial Election pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice before the Court.

Other reliefs sought by Senator Hope Uzodimma include:

An order directing the APC to forward his name (Uzodimma) to INEC as the Gubernatorial Candidate for Imo State Governorship Election for 2019.

An order restraining INEC from continuing to process or publish any other person’s name except the name Senator Hope Uzodimma; and an order for accelerated hearing on the matter.

In his affidavit in support of the motion exparte, the claimant (Uzodimma) averred that he was declared the winner of the Imo State APC gubernatorial primaries which were conducted on October 1, 2018, but shortly after he was declared the winner, “the National Chairman of the APC issued a press statement on the 3rd October 2018 purporting to cancel the primaries and re-conducting a fresh one.”

He added that none of the contestants in the election protested the result as declared by the returning officer “but rather six out of the nine contestants (Aspirants) confirmed that the primaries held and were free and fair.”

The Plaintiff noted in its affidavit that noted that the electoral guidelines do not give the National Chairman of the APC or the National Working Committee (NWC) to interfere with the electoral process; and that “out of the nine contestants (Aspirants) six agreed that there was an election and I (Uzodimma) won.”

He further averred that in the absence of an appeal, no organ of the party can cancel the result of primaries. He said failure of the Court to grant the order, “irreparable damage will be done to me.”

The Court has fixed October 16, 2018, for definite hearing of the matter.

It would be recalled that five of the governorship aspirants declared support for Senator Hope Uzodinma as winner of the Imo State governorship primaries conducted on Oct. 1 by the Ahmed Gulak Election Committee.

Chai, this court has done APC a huge favor. Because no other APC governorship candidate, except Uzodinma can win Imo state for APC.

Even if we agree that Gulak will defend Uzo with his life.
The party never submitted Uzo's name as their candidate.
If the court decides to side Uzo, that would mean that the party has no authority
over its own primaries and the only requirement for a candidate to become a flagbearer
is for a party agent to declare him one regardless of the circumstance of such election.
I am confident the Supreme court won't promote such view.

Okorocha Rochas was counting on fooling his Orlu zone people to say: "oh Uche Nwosu is from our zone, our man, let's vote for Nwosu."

Okorobubu Rochas destroyed or stifled every government development project in his Orlu zone, including teaching hospital, market, stadium, fire service station, even scrapped or blocked existing roads in his Orlu zone.

The fiercest opponents of Okorocha bid to succeed himself through his son-in-law are from Okorocha's Orlu zone, the most populated zone with the highest number of local government areas in Imo state.
