fergie001: It is settled law that the powers to exclude or disq lies with the courts not inec.... The electoral act has also extended the powers of tribunals to include qualification and disq.dont forget last weeks ruling on patigi 1 Like |

garfield1:You are not getting it. ANDP didn't file for disqualification but for unlawful exclusion. Lawful exclusion is allowed where there is no valid nomination. APP, DPP v INEC, APC & Yahaya Bello. Cases of disqualification are pre-election matters, that was why they hid under unlawful exclusion. The Appeal Court is now saying...it is symbiotic in nature, i.e. one and the same. Nope....Section 285(14)c killed it. The Constitution is supreme in any discussion when in contention with the Electoral Act. I saw the Pategi case now.....it is on criminal nature of certificate forgery, it has nothing to do with his election. Anyone can file a criminal case against anyone. https://www.independent.ng/court-dismisses-certificate-forgery-charge-against-lawmaker/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter If he had lost....there will be another election. 1 Like |

fergie001: There is no contention.it is an extension.it is same as saying the constitution recognizes manual voting while electoral act also recognizes card readers.no contradiction |

garfield1:There is.... 138 (1) An election may be questioned on any of the following grounds, that Grounds of petition is to say- (d)that the petitioner or its candidate was validly nominated but was unlawfully excluded from the election. This is section 285(14)c: For the purpose of this section, “pre-election matter” means any suit by – a political party challenging the actions, decisions or activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission disqualifying its candidate from participating in an election or a complaint that the provisions of the Electoral Act or any other applicable law has not been complied with by the Independent National Electoral Commission in respect of the nomination of candidates of political parties for an election, timetable for an election, registration of voters and other activities of the Commission in respect of preparation for an election” Look at both very well |

mosdii:Why do you people like confusion and crisis. This case was also analysed here in Nairaland. First, the ANDP candidate was not qualified to contest as a governor on the account of age. INEC, even wrote to the party informing the that the candidate they submitted wasn't qualified being less than the statutory age of 35 years or so .The party ignored INEC saying that they had no power to disqualify an "under age" aspirant. Now, the candidate of ANDP wants to become governor through the back door. What a joke! 1 Like |

Just the way those who sell generator won't pray for stable electricity in this country, it's the same way our lawyers won't pray for credible election in this country because at the end of the process, they won't see where to carry out their failed lies for extortion.. With this same judgement acting as precedence, a similar case would arise and the same tribunal in another state would deliver the same judgement of nullification so as eat from where it is not necessary.. Thanks to the appeal court for correcting the mumu of the tribunal
