Duke was busy attacking PDP instead of defending his candidacy.

MadamExcellency:
Zone and parts and not same hence error in judgment.



Is Southwest and South-south in the same zone?

Na waa for Nigerian Courts.

We have six immigration zonal headquarters in Nigeria and not two (North and South)
well, there are 2 broad zones in Nigeria in Zoning or quota system which is the South and North, which may be further classified if stipulated

apparently, Nigeria have been using this 2 before its major division by Sani Abacha

Quota system is not even based on North and South hence more Northerners in uniforms. It's done par State.

Why would SDP, Gana and or Duke willfully decide to waste scarce resources.

Is there any benefit attached to being referred to as 'a one-time presidential candidate'?
Yes. It gives you advantages.
You can be considered for appointments in the future. If you don't believe me ask Atiku.

Well quota isn't the subject here, but if you wish to learn i wont mind informing you, quota may not necessarily bother on geography it may be peg at anything, quota system furnished in Nigeria (geographically) are usually and basically in 2 zones the southern and the northern Nigeria by default (dis took effect in 1914, during the merging of the southern and northern protectorate), but maybe further stipulated and divided into what so ever yardstick the deem fit (any of these may come in play, ELPs, Oil producing state, LGA name it)

Back to the main issue, Nigeria is basically classified into 2 broad zones, futher classifications were made by general abacha, but the law and its instituition will enforce only this 2 zones (south and north) except etherwise defined or indicated i.e (6 geo zones)


Below is a screen munch to further buttress my point
Do you agree with me now that Donald Duke and Olu falae are two politicians from the same zones, Rotimi akeredolu and benedict Ayade are governors from southern Nigeria......

So since the SDP constituition did not clearly state the yardstick i.e geopolitical zone (SW, SE,SS,NW,NE,NC) then the law will only enforce what is obtainable. Sharia law are enforceable up north cause almost all the states in the North accepted it as binding on them, but not in the south (lagos,ogun,osun,ekiti,ondo,oyo) inclusive

That serves that Donald Duck right!

Instead of him to campaign rightly by telling us what he intends to do with power; all he does (together with that direction less boy called Sowore) is to attack Atiku and PDP!!

Sommwan dah canno win election cheesy cheesy cheesy



Ecstasy154:
An FCT High Court in Maitama on Friday declared a former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, the winner of the presidential primary election of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) conducted on October 6.

The party had declared a former Governor of Cross River, Mr. Donald Duke, the winner of the election and its flag bearer for the 2019 General Elections.

The party said that Duke polled 812 votes while Gana had 611.

However, Gana went to court seeking that it would declare him the winner in line with the zoning and rotation formula of the party’s constitution.

In his judgement, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf held that the regulations contained in the party’s constitution were binding on every member and must be obeyed.

He held that the zoning and rotation formula as contained in the party’s constitution stipulated that both the chairman of the party and the flag bearer should not come from the same zone.

“In this instance, the party’s Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, is from the South and Duke is from the South too; the law is clear; there is nothing to write in-between.

“The law has crystallised that political parties should abide by the regulations which they have made by themselves.

“The claimant laid sufficient evidence to have the judgment in his favour; it is a clear violation of the party’s constitution; the court cannot wave right over illegality,” he held.

The judge, therefore, declared Gana the winner of SDP presidential primary election conducted on Oct. 6.

He also declared Duke’s 812 votes null and void, and ordered SDP to forward Gana’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s flag bearer for the 2019 presidential election.

In addition, he ordered that Duke should stop parading himself as the party’s flag bearer for the elections.

Gana had joined SDP, its National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae; National Secretary, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam; Chairman, SDP Presidential Screening Panel/ Deputy National Chairman, South, Prof. Tunde Adeniran; Duke and INEC as defendants in the suit.

Gana sought a declaration that Duke was not eligible to stand as a candidate in the party’s presidential primaries held on Oct. 6, in Abuja.

He also sought a declaration of the court that he ought to have been declared the winner of the SDP presidential primary election, having polled the highest valid votes in the said election.

The former minister wanted an order of the court declaring him the validly elected flag bearer of the party for the 2019 General Elections.

Gana also sought a perpetual injunction restraining Duke from parading himself as the SDP presidential candidate for the elections, among other reliefs.

He had argued that under Article 15(3) of the SDP Constitution, the office of the national chairman of the party and the presidential candidacy shall rotate between the northern and southern parts of the country.
