We are waiting for them at supreme court ( oshiomole's court) that judgement is from sarakiller's court

this won't help saraki.

Hmmm...faction issues, the court has recognised another faction of the APC in Kwara other than the one that conducted primaries which led to Abdulrazaq's emergence. Na dem dem so e concern them.

Hahahahha. APC....Failure

FULL STORY:

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Kwara State governorship candidate for the 2019 election, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has been sacked by a High Court sitting in Ilorin.

The court action happened on Wednesday following the ruling of Justice T.S. Umar, who also nullified the Bashiru Omolaja Bolarinwa led executive council of the party in the state.

The court therefore recognised the Ishola Balogun-Fulani-led execuitve council of the APC in Kwara as authentic.

Following Senate President Bukola Saraki’s dumping of the APC, the party had made efforts to ensure that those believed to be loyal to Saraki were removed from the party’s leadership positions in the state.

It was believed that the sack of Balogun-Fulani and his executive members from the party by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC on September 18 was part of that move.

But Balagun-Fulani had gone to the court to challenge his sack by the APC. And in its ruling, the court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), to recognise the candidate of the Balogun-Fulani-led faction of the APC in Kwara, Kayode Omotose, as the governorship candidate of the party in the state.

APC will exaust all legal means. Nothing has changed, the case will go on to supreme if need be. Certainly Abdulrazaq will remain candidate until supreme Court says otherwise

who will take the court serious.... If the court like they should say no election in Kwara next yr Saraki Dynasty shall comes down. by God grace

All APC primaries have been marred with court injunctions.This is a sign of more trouble to come.

Too bad, thats why i keep saying oshomole is out to destroy the broom waving party. From Rivers to Akwa Ibom to gombe and now kwarra, its eexactly the same tale of illegality.

It's the same news, just got more details so people don't have to wonder why the court took the decision it did.

Joke of the year. Everything has changed. No. You are correct. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed because New APC led by Bolarinwa Omolaja was sitting on keg of petrol and he was playing with lit candle. It will blow everyone of them away.

I am neither in PDP nor APC but any knowledgeable person of Kwara politics will know what happened is bound to happen. What really happen? Before we get to that, let's see what was on ground in Kwara. APC (pre-Saraki leaving APC) had an executive DULY RECOGNISED by law. What I mean is that they conducted elections and were functioning. When Saraki left APC, the Fulani-Balogun 'refused' to leave with him. That is the official tale. To any thinking person, they were left there to do Saraki's bidding.

Of course that was clear to the Central Authority in Abuja. What I mean is that Saraki left them, not that they were dis-enchanted with Saraki. Now Oshiomole sacked Balogun-Fulani led executive. They played into Saraki's hand. Oshimola has no legal right nor any legal backing to sack them. Politically he did the right thing but legally he was wrong. Balogun Fulani went to court. Technically, he won. Even a non lawyer will know that he would win. I am sure Saraki and his boys would be amused and laugh themselves to stupor seeing them holding primaries that would not hold in court. Part of the plan is that they will not go to court until very late in the day when it will be virtually be impossible to do anything. Most likely they will go to Appeal court. They will lose. They will go to Supreme court. They will lose.

I wonder why APC's legal team did not advise Oshiomole about the futility of what he did. The Kwara APC executive led by Balogun Fulani had mandate to be in office for specified period. Nobody can just wake up one day and sack them. No chairman can just 'wake up' one day to sack it. When Saraki left APC and Balogun Fulani 'refused' to leave, I knew instantly what the game plan is. To those who are a little bit familiar with Kwara politics, have you ever heard any campaign jingles from Saraki for Kano Central while his 'supposed' opponent in APC, Oloriegbe has been on the airways.

The APC faction recognised by the court are really Saraki's men left behind. So tell me, how is the real APC going to win Kwara? So we are having Atunwa (barring unforeseen circumstances) as the next governor of Kwara and Saraki will go back to Senate as the senator representing Kwara Central. PERIOD.

Have you read the constitution of Apc as regards dissolution of a state executive? As far as I'm concerned NWC of a party has the right under a special condition to dissolve a state executive. It is left for APC to prove the circumstances of dissolution. As long as the NWC of the party is duely recognised and constituted by the party convention,it has right of dissolution over state executives.

bender79:

why will they go to the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court, if nothing has changed.

paragon40:

Because they have a constutional right to defend their position up till supreme Court. Therefore inec must recognise the candidate unless supreme court says otherwise, that is in a case it is not up turned in the court of appeal

I concede that you are right in that the NWC has the right, but in my opinion, it has not proved any condition. I think (though I am not too sure of that assertion) when there are competing factions, they can be dissolved. But when NWC dissolved the exco, there was ONLY ONE exco at that point in time. Only time will tell anyway
