The presiding judge in the four suits challenging the outcome of the governorship election, and the scheduled supplementary election, Gabriel Kolawole, said he struck out the suits for lack of jurisdiction. Mr. Kolawole, presiding over the suits at the Federal High Court Abuja, affirmed the powers of the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct the two elections and said he decided to strike out the suits to provide a judicial and permissive environment for the electoral body to conclude the election. The judge said he had considered both written and oral addresses of all counsel to the parties in the consolidated cases and came to the conclusion that all the “issues raised are those that a governorship election tribunal should look at holistically”. He also said the court did not decide on the merits of the cases owing to the lack of jurisdiction, adding, “where this court has jurisdiction, it would dispense justice to the parties in the suit”. The judge had earlier highlighted the cases that were consolidated to include the one filed by the deputy governorship candidate of the late Abubakar Audu of All Progressives Congress, James Faleke, with suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/977/2015. Mr. Faleke asked the court to both declare the decision of INEC to conduct a supplementary election as null and void and announce him the governor-elect of Kogi state. Another suit filed by incumbent Governor Idris Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party with number FHC/ABJ/ CS/962/2015 was asking the court to compel INEC to declare him winner of the November 21 election, on the grounds that he scored the second highest votes after the late Mr. Audu. The third suit FHC/ABJ/CS/973/2015 that was filed by Emanuel Daiko, candidate the People for Democratic Change, who wants the court to stop the supplementary election and remove the APC from the list of participating political parties having lost its candidate. The fourth suit filed by one Raphael Igbokwe was asking the FHC to simply annul the election and order a fresh one. Mr. Kolawole said after the adoption of written addresses on December 3, counsels agreed on five facts, which include: that the current constitution of Nigeria does not recognize an independent candidate for any election; that each governorship candidate must be sponsored by a political party and that a governorship candidate must emerge from a primary election. He also said another fact that emerged was that every governorship candidate must have a deputy to run as a joint ticket and that both the Constitution and the Electoral Act provide for a timeline in which elections must be held. Mr. Kolawole said the present scenario emerged, not because of the death of late Mr. Audu, but because the November 21 election was declared inconclusive. Mr. Kolawole said having listened to all the submissions by counsels, he pondered over “which of these reliefs being sought can be entertained by the Federal High court?” He said going ahead to grant the reliefs would amount to “judicial anarchy” and that only a competent tribunal can do so. “Once electorates have gone to vote, anything else can only be heard by tribunals,” he said. The judge blamed the political class for rushing to the Federal High Court or State High Court to seek for elections to either be annulled or re run. “Majority of the political class are bad losers, except for one or two examples. For instance, former Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti and former President Goodluck Jonathan. Both of them in my view are men of exemplary character,” he said. Mr. Kolawole also stated that his review of submissions by counsels revealed that the fourth defendant, the INEC, may have been led or misled by a “partisan or otherwise legal opinion” of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF. The AGF, immediately after the death of Mr. Audu, advised INEC to allow the APC replace its dead candidate. Mr. Kolawole said to prove the partisan status of the AGF, he was sued as a defendant in three of the four cases under consideration “in a contest that is not an exclusively APC affair, but multi party/public interest. “It was not a matter which involved the exercise of governmental power conferred by the constitution on any organ or institution of the Federal government of Nigeria,” he said. “The fact that he publicly advised INEC further saturated the political situation that got the fourth defendant to conduct the supplementary election and directed the third defendant; that is APC, to substitute its late governorship candidate, who already had a deputy in waiting,” he said. He said it will amount to an act of “judicial indulgence” if the court, without jurisdiction to make affirmative pronouncement, declares the incumbent governor as having been duly re-elected even though he had the second highest votes cast, or to cancel the election or to stop the supplementary election. He also said there was no need for him to proceed further with judicial consideration of all the three matters under saying “to do so would put the governorship tribunal in some difficulty” when eventually, the contestants to the supplementary election fixed for December 5 come before it. Mr. Kolawole said the tribunal was best suited to entertain all the issues because they are issues relating to post primary and elections proper. The judge said the primary goal of his judgment is to “to diffuse the dark cloud of doubt” regarding the validity of the Kogi elections. Mr. Kolawole also said his judgment cannot be used before the tribunal whenever it is set up because the court has not decided on the consolidated cased based on their merits. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/194460-kogi-election-partisan-attorney-general-may-have-misled-inec-judge.html

I don't understand why anyone would be so
jealous of Fayose to the point of calling him a
tout, an illiterate or anything else when it's
obvious to the world that Ekiti state is not
contesting gubernatorial election till 2019.....
What are they crying for nah?
And to think that the statement came from a
father who chose to straff his daughter in-law
instead of his own wife is very laughable.... A
man who shamelessly washes his family dirty
linen with his own daughter in public.... OBJ
should hide in shame abeg! Fayose bought pepper, tomatoes and meat during the campaign and it was publicized as campaign tactics.... Today, after winning election, he's still doing same, nothing changed about him..... That shows A MAN WHO LOVES BEING HIMSELF 1] Okorocha roasted plantain and corn during the election, today how far? 2] Aregbesola taught primary school pupils and even wore their uniform during the campaign, today how far? 3] Amaechi plaited women hair during the campaign, today how far? 4] Osinbajo boarded buses and preaches inside them during the campaign, today how far? 5] Aisha Buhari fried Akara during the campaign, today how far? How many more will i add without making OBJ and these APC E-pigs look more stupid?..... Let me leave it here and allow you judge who the FAKE ONES are. We need more of Fayose abeg, let the haters keep hating because China phones makes the loudest noise.

Please if you know any APC Member, Please ask him or her why their Senators, since 2013, want to gag social media? I don't get it. |
I don't know why APC is so scared of social media First, it was Sen. Gbenga Kaka (APC Ogun) who pushed the bill in 2013 Today, Ibn N'Allah |
General Mohammed Buhari’s infamous Decree 4 which he used to clampdown on the press, Journalists, Opponents, and free speech during his maximum dictatorship of the 1980s is being re-introduced through his hardliners and allies in the Senate. A] DECREE NO 4 OF 1984, Section 1. “Any person who publishes in any form, whether written or otherwise, any message, rumour, report or statement which is false in any material particular or which brings or is calculated to bring the Federal Military Govt or the govt of a state or public officer to ridicule or disrespect shall be guilty of an offence under this decree…….and those found guilty would be eligible for 1] a fine of not less than N10,000 2] a jail sentence of up to TWO YEARS” 3] or both fine and imprisonment This is the bill President Buhari Introduced through proxy on the floor of the Nigerian Senate on Wednesday, December 2, 2015. B] 2015- BILL TO DISCOURAGE BASELESS ALLEGATIONS “Where any person through text messages, tenets, whatsApp or through any social media post any abusive statement knowing same to be false with intent to set the public against any person and group of persons and institutions of govt or such other bodies established by law shall be guilty of an offence and upon conviction shall be liable to 1] an imprisonment for TWO YEARS or a fine of 2] N2,000,000,000 3] or both fine and imprisonment”. For Buhari's government whose activities and administrative system is based on lies and Propaganda, what will be the definition of stories being false in the contest of a government that has no pedigree, lacks integrity and shameless when lying to its people?
