Edo 2020: Court Restrains Self From Further Hearing Of Suit Challenging Direct Primaries

The Federal High Court sitting in Benin has restrained itself from further hearing of the suit challenging the decision of the APC NWC to hold direct primaries to pick its candidate for the Edo State Governoship election.

Recall that the court on Monday, June 8th adjourned hearing on the suit to today, 11th June.

The suit was instituted by a group loyal to the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki.

The suit sought to stop the primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) scheduled for June 22nd as Obaseki insisted on the party having indirect primaries.

The Court further ordered that all court processes be transferred to the Court of appeal for hearing due to the application for stay of proceeding filed by the APC.

According to the calendar of congresses/primaries published by INEC, the APC will hold direct primaries to pick its candidate for the election as submitted by the National Working Committee of the party.

There has been an ongoing battle between the Adams Oshiomhole-led APC NWC and Obaseki.

Obaseki had filed the suit seeking to stop the party from holding direct primaries. The APC governorship candidacy is being hotly contested for by Osagie Ize-Iyamu and incumbent, Godwin Obaseki.

humilitypays:
Lolz, op you are taking Fashola the minister of darkness serious Wonderful


Fashola was overhyped when he was a Governor. Even a mad man will function as Governor of Lagos State because Lagos is like a country inside a country with huge IGR to fund any project, secure any amount of project loans and loot enough and still have enough left.


Don't ever use Lagos Governorship to measure the good leadership skill of any politician, if you want to know good leader, take the person to go and govern states like Ekiti, Abia, Osun, Benue, Taraba, Ebonyi, not a rich cosmopolitan state like Lagos


Fashola is a failure who looted even money for sinking borehole, used millions to create stupid website

hotplate:
This is the result of the yet-to-be conducted Edo APC primary election which is scheduled to hold on the 22nd of June... Obaseki and Oshiomhole has been at logged head on the mode of primaries to adopt.
While Obaseki is opposed to the direct mode of primaries citing the ravaging corona virus, as well as some planned manipulation of the primaries as his reasons, the national chairman of the party Adams Oshiomhole has said that the Indirect mode dose not reflect true democracy.
In the result, the preferred candidate of the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who the proscribed Edo Peoples Movement (EPM) picked as their consensus candidate few weeks ago, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, polled 101,533 votes, to allegedly pick the APC ticket. Former Chairman of Oredo Local Government Area, Osaro Obazee, came second with 81,173, while the incumbent governor scored 79,861.

jaxxy:


The real question is who feed who? Obaseki said Oshiomole was broke b4 he was helped to become governor.

Unigrad:

From what I saw with my eyes and witnessed
TV road was done and completed by Obaseki.
5 junction Oshiomole did was so bad immediately he left government, Governor Obaseki later fix it and is without potholes now.
The road in front of police station in Ring road was worked on again by Governor Obaseki because the one Oshiomole did gone bad with potholes.
I drove through lucky way some weeks ago, the road is now perfectly motorable compare to Oshiomole time when the road was terribly bad.
Ekehuan road to Ekehuan barack is seriously under construction.
Emokpae primary school, some schools in ugbowo was renovated by Governor Obaseki.
I passed through central park a day ago, work is seriously ongoing there.
No worker in the state have been owed salary or salaries.
Obaseki removed multiple taxing in form of ticketing.
Ogba Stadium has a new and standard look now
I can't not lie because of politics because I'm non partisan, almost all the works Oshiomole did were substandard in quality, almost all of them is nowhere to be found.
You can't expect 100% from humans, though have not benefitted from Obaseki government directly but indirectly, he tried in his administration in Edo State. God forbid he doesn't get the ticket, I will use the election day to sleep because I'm not seeing any other candidate both in APC and PDP that can surpass Obaseki's achievement.
Take this to heart
Tony Kabaka celebrated he worth #1B few years ago, where did he got the money from? What was his worth before Oshiomole?
If you are from Benin City in Edo State, you will know what I'm talking about.
Oshiomole is fighting for his relevance and political children like Kabaka, henry idiagbon, Samson Osagie etc. By the grace of God, they will all fail.
Samson Osagie and Tony Kabaka have said it severally that they are fighting Obaseki because he refused to recognize politicians in the state. God forbid I support the status quo that had robbed the state of necessary development.
Lastly, go check siluko road that Oshiomole did, you will think that road is 30years.
Road the roads Oshiomole was 4years lifespan with billions of Naira. Where is the #30B he borrowed from world bank for water storm project? Where did he got his money to build his mansion in Iyamho?
These are the few questions we need to ask.
Thank you.

Amotekun2020:
This is the tragedy of helping people that the Almighty God had not helped.
They will return to hunt you.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo did place a political curse on the Obasekis, that they would never ascend a political height in Nigeria.
This curse was reversed by Oshiomole.
He escaped death narrowly.
Almost lost the chairmanship position at the instigation of Obaseki
Why must you bit the fingers that fed you?
Why did this man hates Oshiomole so much?
This is a lesson in helping someone under a curse. They will return back to hunt you.
In all the previous bitter fights between Godfathers and God sons in Nigeria, this is the worst Irreconcilable difference.

boookworm:
FTC.

by the way today's results came in late

If you think Yahaya Bello stands to gain something from standing his ground that there's no case of Covid 19 in Kogi state but think the Federal Government doesn't stand to gain anything from inflating the figures of cases recorded per day then you're a bloody hypocrite and not to be taken seriously on nairaland or anywhere for that matter.

Did Kano reduce their testing capacity or what? They've recorded just 15 cases in 3 days meanwhile Edo state that has 3 times less the population of Kano have recorded twice that in two days.






Stay safe my people

Biofil84:
I said it this Obaseki guy is a technocrat can u imagine the weapon he is using to counter osho direct primary method, a very valid weapon.

Osho should rest and allow this guy finish the remaining 4 years, he was also given same chance so he shouldn't deprive others of thier own privilege.

Hnmmm if this guy enta for his 2nd term in office eeeeeeh osho will need to feel a form before entering Edo state and write an exam before entering his village.

Stephenomozzy:


His reasons are pretty good and sensible. Politics just nor go let some people see road . I mean if the method that guarantees a possible outbreak in the state is being pushed for, then it should be questionable the balance between politics and people welfare.

ogbonti:




THE ESAN PEOPLE THAT GAVE POI 70% OF HIS TOTAL VOTES IN 2016 WHEN HE RAN AGAINST OBASEKI ARE NOW WITH OBASEKI - HE GOT THAT MUCH VOTES FROM ESAN LAND AND STILL LOST -

SO WHERE IS POI GOING TO GET VOTES TO DEFEAT OBASEKI? FROM BINI PEOPLE - HMMMM I LAUGH IN IJAW


FROM EDO NORTH? WHERE PHILLIP SHUAIBU IS SEEN AS A DEMI -GOD? I LAUGH IN SWAHILI

martineverest:
smh... I'm Edo,uromi man for that matter.... Oshiomhole is part of Edo history...u see the way Bayelsa and imo did to their ex governors,Edo will do worse

ogbonti:



leave them alone - every esan person will vote for Obaseki to spite Oshomole- YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!!!!!!!!!

Oshomole does not command 60% loyalty in Edo North. The people there are more with the Deputy Governor Phillip Shuaibu who they see as one who will take over from Obaseki

The Binis may be divided - but they certainly will not betray their son OBASEKI to stroke the ego of a "kukuruku" OSHOMOLE


It is game on

Knox123:


Not anymore...

Presently, Obaseki will defeat Ize-iyamu in a free n fair election.

Daum:



Oga we always had cult wars in Edo no be today. Which thieves u dy talk, dem dy since Oshiomole time na...if Obaseki can't talk, Philip go talk for am. Infact we no even like who too dy talk. Oshiomole talks too much, so he talks rubbish.

E get why they call him wake and see
He no sabi do gra gra like Oshiomole.
Business people are comfortable around him. He has ended multiple taxation that was rampant in Oshiomole time. I am in Edo, I vote in Edo and I can tell you that Oshiomole no get level. He is lucky Francis Alimikhena won in Edo north. If not that Momoh decamped to SDP that time, they would have beaten APC in Edo north

GreatChizzy:


Did you even read the story before quoting me?

I cannot "caution" my mother over a "girlfriend" and there is no such a thing as my mother "stepping out of the line" in dealing with my girlfriend. I am African!!! And raised well by both Parents, terms as "caution" cannot be used by me when addressing my Parents.
May God never give me a Child that would "caution" his mother because of a "girl friend".

Lyydia2:
I use to think I m the only person that notices this. Cos nobody seems to b talking about it. Its wrong in everyway!


A good leader should lead by example
