AAA593 ejimatic

The tribunal thoroughly erred.
A similar case had been taken to the Court by APP..that they were excluded. INEC argued that the time had elapsed for substitution of names and that was why they excluded the party.
Justice Ojukwu of the FHC, Abuja upheld INEC's position that the APP did not meet the stipulated conditions of INEC. (FEB 21, 2020)

APP appealed the judgement.and the Appeal Court dismissed the case in favour of INEC. Guess who led the panel?
Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem.

ORIENTATION101:
two can play the game.
If inec doesnt appeal , fresh Election will be conducted.

As it stands PDP , APC should go and prepare for. Fresh Election, cos inec will not appeal

No,PDP has the legal backing to appeal too.

SC believes that technicality should not be used to disqualify candidates.I share the same opinion too. As for the case of APP and INEC 2020 it was a court of law that upheld the exclusion of APP not INEC..So INEC erred by usurping the duty of a court in the Bayelsa election. So ANDP disqualification. by INEC is iunconstitutional.

ORIENTATION101:

If inec doesnt appeal . diri will vacate the seat until inec conduct fresh Election which will include APC candidate

You don't need only INEC to appeal.

fergie001:

It is a Special Court created by the Constitution.

Tribunal for Nigeria,mtchew...

The tribunal decisions are binding upon the parties. However, they’re appealable or challengeable in the court, provided the law under which the tribunal is established provides for the opportunity of appeal to the higher courts.

You can't change court decision in a tribunal meaning,this matter no get weight.

If there is any SC that have delved into technicalities the most, it is this SC.
How did the Osun case which had same minority v majority judgement go?

Is it technicality to subscribe to laid-down precedents or letters of the Constitution?

Your partisan affiliations has outweighed the ejimatic we know ooo

Haba nah

Confused judgments

. In case of Osun there was no fair hearing and this is causes by the judge who gave the lead judgement...I did not look at it as a case of technicality but an attempt to have miscarriage of justice . Considering section 258 of the constitution. Finally I am neither APC nor PDP

The case was a case of technicality.
The reason been premised on the fact that one of the Judges was absent in one of the tribunal's many sittings.

Where is the fair hearing and miscarriage issue coming from?
Nah

Nigeria is a failed country, even the judiciary is confused no wonder NBA could not conduct a credible election to elect its president.

I disagree with this dissenting judgement. The letter written by INEC had no locus standing if the party fulfilled all constitutional requirements so they didn't need to challenge the case at high court. Secondly the question here is who has power to disqualify or pronounce a candidate illegible. INEC or court, this case has been settled even recently in Kogi election. Court is the only one with power to do so even in David Lyon case in the same election.

You're always against pdp

ORIENTATION101:

You've tried to explain enough.
leave them, they won't still understand that there's a difference between Re-Run and a Fresh election.

. On the day PDP was presenting his witnesses the judge that gave majority judgement was there .On the day APC was presenting its witnesses he was not there at all .Yet he went ahead to assess witnesses he did not see in his judgement. Is that a fair hearing? If you were in APC would you be happy? Section 258 of the constitution says the sitting on that day when all members were not there is a nullity.. In my opinion it is a case of miscarriage of justice not technicality.

Good......what was the Zamfara case?

You may be surprised to now that I neither belong to APC nor PDP.My analysis is objective and unpremeditated

Buharia will buhariala the verdict. At least, the chairman has made his points. Kudos to you for saying the truth. Send those judges for refreshing course.

ORIENTATION101:

There is difference between

Re-run( continuation of existing Election)

Fresh Election ( all political parties start allover again)

This is not true.

fergie001:

That of majority will stand until appeal..but it is already standing on one leg.

the case is with inec not PDP and I'm sure inec will not appeal, therefore there will be another election coming up in bayelsa.

fergie001:

Good......what was the Zamfara case?

. Marafa claimed there was no primary in APC preparatory to the election .He proved Zamafara APC was more or less an imposition of candidates. The SC accepted his plea. In my opinion APC dug its grave in Zamfara

ORIENTATION101:
yes thats why they won the election.

The court can only stop APC from participating if it was rerun that was ordered.

The lower court cannot make APC qualified for an election when the apex court has already disqualified them

WATCHOVER:

APC is already disqualified but even as that, the judgement is faulty,
1. It a pre-election matter
2. The said party who filed the petition was not even eligible to contest.

Appeal and Supreme Court will upturn the decision.
It bleeds to see how our electoral process have been bastardised, Litigations upon litigation, and this is a true sign of corruption, now how do you now expect people of Bayelsa to enjoy their government.

the certificate issue which was use to disqualify APC is it not the same pre-election matter?

Nope.... There are 3 respondents...INEC, PDP and Douye Diri..
any of the three can appeal.

AAA593:

Including the disqualified party? I laugh

INEC did not disqualified the Party but the Court disqualified the candidate not the Party which mean APC did not field any candidate in that Election. So in Fresh Election what all parties need to do is field Qualified candidate, if the Electoral Law permit renomination.

kolade560:
APC out of desperation and frustration are fielding nameless party to usurp the already sealed tussle. All the States they rule are suffering, even their father buhari is a renowned failure and disappointment. Looting common men tax is their problem.

a renowned failure that build second Niger bridge,a renowned failure that renovate all international airports in Nigeria,a renowned failure that build Port in rivers State, a renowned failure that construct Lagos ibadan railway and Lagos ibadan road, a renowned failure that give States bail out when about 24 states couldn't pay salaries for over a year.
I love this renowned failure.

The certificate case first came up in Federal High Court before it went to supreme Court
