You lack understanding.is that how things are done dumbie? So your hatred for apc has killed your common sense? How many times have they posted news here where a candidate who didnt win primaries was disqualified and the runner up im the primaries or rightful candidate benefits?

The point is there were no primaries. It is said that Ozuruigbo became the APC candidate via 'automatic ticket' which the court and our laws do not recognise. There was no second runner-up because the valid nomination process was not adhered to so like Zamfara, APC had no valid candidate for this federal constituency. Therefore the second highest scorer at the election becomes winner.

Except so.but the judge said nothing about that.the petitioner before proving that there was automatic ticket must have prove that there was a primaries which he won but was cheated

Does the bold part make sense to you?
The petitioner's grouse was that there were no primaries to allow an even, playing field as required by law rather the APC candidate was issued an automatic ticket which is alien to law. This has been so proven and judgement as well as consequential orders have been declared by the court. How can the petitioner prove primaries when none was conducted? That is the crux of the matter/petition Mr Garfield1.

Yes they are, but PDP never gave us recession.

Irrespective of their "so called Curruption" under their watch, we were reckoned globally as one of Africa's fastest growing economy.

Put one on one, then draw the lines if only you can.

APC is simply reaping the reward of impunity that Adams Oshomole instutionalized and entrenched in APC and allowed Governors to carry on with. APC did not organize primaries for the last election. The thing was just sold to the highest bidders after people had genuinely won primaries.

Federal High Court in Owerri on Monday sacked the member-elect for Nkwerre/Nwangele/Njaba/Isu federal constituency of Imo State, Ugonna Ozurigbo.

Ozurigbo had, last Wednesday, resigned his position as the Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly.





Justice P.A. Rigime, who delivered the judgment, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a Certificate of Return to Kingsley Echendu of the Peoples Democratic Party.



Neither PDP nor its candidate was a party to the suit.

The court said that Harrison Nwadike, who is the plaintiff, was the “rightful winner” of the All Progressives Congress primary election in the federal constituency.

Nwadike had taken his party, APC, and INEC to court over the submission of Ozurigbo’s name as the candidate of the party.

Nwadike, who prayed the court to declare him as the APC rightful candidate, contended that automatic tickets were unknown to the constitution.

The court in its judgment agreed with the petitioner that automatic tickets were unknown to law.

The justice who said that the candidacy of Ozurigbo was illegitimate ordered INEC to issue the PDP candidate, Echendu, who came second in the general election with a Certificate of Return as the rightful winner of the election.

The petitioner who spoke to our correspondent after the judgment was delivered, said that while he agreed with the court that he was the rightful winner of the APC primary election in the federal constituency, it was wrong for the court to have declared the PDP candidate the lawful winner of the general election.

He said that he would go to court to challenge the aspect of the judgment which ordered INEC to issue a Certificate of Return to the PDP candidate.

But counsel to the PDP candidate, who is the beneficiary of the court judgment, Stanley Imo, told our correspondent that the court was right to have declared his client the rightful winner of the election.

He said, “The law is very clear on this. Harrison Nwadike did not participate in all the stages of the election but my client did. Now, the court held that Ugonna Ozurigbo was not the rightful candidate of the APC (and) said that the second runner-up, who is my client that participated in all the stages of the elections should be issued with the Certificate of Return”.

The PDP publicity secretary in the state, Damian Opara, urged INEC to waste no time in issuing its candidate the Certificate of Return as ordered by the court.

Opara who spoke to our correspondent said that the judgment “has shown that impunity and illegality are bad. PDP did perfect primary elections and we are reaping the dividends.”

Efforts made by our correspondent to reach Ozurigbo proved abortive as he had yet to reply to the text messages sent to his mobile phone as of the time of filing this report.



Above is what actually transpired in the court.the judge made a mistake or was drunk or was sleeping.the appeal court will easily do the right thing
Your wailing has just begun Baba

Nice one. One down and more to go.

A house built on lies shall surely crumble it's a matter of time.

The case of pdp is a case study to tell every human who has senses that Never give up no matter your error or pressure or lies against you from the enemy camp just keep hoping to bounce back one good day.

If someone tells me pdp can do these better i would deny it. People thought pdp is dead, some people said they should change the party name, some said all pdp bigwigs should retire and so on but today see as pdp is expanding like a joke going and keep going till apc shrink out completely they would still be here on NL doing their internet warrior.

God is great. Never give up your dream in life no matter what comes your way.

Adams Oshiomole, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) has berated the Supreme Court for its judgement on Zamfara State which sacked all the APC elected candidates and replaced them with the candidates with the second highest votes in the just concluded poll on the ground that the Party did not conduct primary elections in the state.
