The shield we are talking about here is to appear.
To be summoned to appear, not as per the judgement.

The judgement itself affects all and sundry. It is the appearance we are talking about.

The governor and his deputy are principal witnesses in their case, and as such they'll appear. I closely followed the Governorship, State and Federal House election petition cases in my state, and I saw all the Defendants (including the already sworn in governor) mount the witness box as witness to testify

This Bayelsa thing is getting crazy already

TOPCRUISE:
Certificate saga is indeed rocking the bayelsa Governorship chair. Diri ought to have learnt from the mistake of David Lyon

how

What State?

So you can mandate the President to appear before an election tribunal?

martowskin1:


No , base in the constitution since they have been sweared in, it will only affect the said deputy.

And who told you that again?

martowskin1:

Nope....both will go.

eldoradoxx:
That order is completely invalid. You cannot order a Deputy Governor who is under immunity to appear before any court or tribunal for any issue whatsoever.

Invalid in an Election Tribunal petition matter?

Answer me.

Does his immunity cover election petition?

Was Buhari not dragged to election tribunal?

You're very funny.

He can appear or choose to send his representative.

Both choices are acceptable but failure to do either of the above with his Original Nysc will make the Tribunal to sack PDP, for you cannot build something on nothing.

Its not mandatory to appear personally

Freedom of speech does it mean one should be nuisance

fergie001:

Ya...representation nah!

Yes there must be representation by the 1st defendant whether personally or not

senatordave1:


Fergie,I think this will suffice.failure to do soay be fatal

Yes....but I think this is one of what he will do.

A. Once you request for a name change or correction...you submit the old one. Lost Certificates aren't replaced.

B. He might simply have gotten a police extract and claim he lost it.

Na the lawyers now...I dey wonder...on both sides...no sleeping this night till Thursday.

DarkJeddi:

You see the more we argue,the more we unearth new facts.mind you,A will further implicate him.the LM and inec already have a photocopy of both certs.

B might further implicate him because how did he lose it when nysc should have collected it and issued him a new one?

fergie001:

He came personally because dem don prepare am

He doesn't need to come actually except the LM wants to ridicule him.it is getting messier for him

I wonder ooo

immunity is in respect of criminal prosecution and not civil trials like election petition

Even for preelection matter? You must have obtained your law degree from a university of technology.

A Governor is about to go down

Slawormir:

Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo

This one is Urhobo. Ewhrudjakpo!

senatordave1:

He decided to. Anybody he brings might worsen an already bad matter.

shanaka4u:

Wrong.....

greggng:

Only governor has immunity not deputy ....kindly quote the necessary part of our constitution to drive home ur point

This is Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution as ammended;

308.-(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, but subject to subsection (2) of this section–

(a) no civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office;

(b) a person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and

(c) no process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be issued:

Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of this period of office.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party.

(3) This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy ; and the reference in this section to “period of office” is reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office.

Cc:joa2013....Once that person climbs that seat, he enjoys the immunity pre or post-election matters, but can delegate representation.

Don't also forget that in this case, he was the one that decided he wanted to appear in person.

.......he can be subpoenaed or summoned, but not mandated to attend in person.
