A Federal High Court in Abuja has summoned officials of the new Young Democratic Party to appear on March 23 over alleged misrepresentation of its judgment ordering the registration of the party.

The presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, said the court was embarrassed by the claim of the party officials at a press conference that in its judgment of March 4, 2015, it ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to shift the 2015 elections in order to accommodate the party in the polls. The party had on the strength of the alleged court’s pronouncement scheduled its primaries for March 26 and 27 ahead of the general polls scheduled for March 28 and April 11, 2015.

The court on Thursday ordered YDP’s lead counsel, Kelvin Nwofo (SAN), to investigate the issue and produce all the persons who addressed the press conference in court.

The judge made the order when the application for stay of execution of the March 4, 2015 judgment filed by INEC came up on Thursday. INEC is by its application seeking a stay of execution of the judgment on the grounds that it had filed a notice of appeal dated March 9, 2015 against the March 4 verdict before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal.

The PUNCH had obtained a copy of the enrolled order made in the judgment by the court and reported on Thursday that the document showed that apart from ordering INEC to issue certificate of registration to the party, the court did not order that the party be allowed to participate in the polls.

Justice Mohammed, who said he received calls from different parts of the country and abroad, held in a short ruling that the party’s claim during the said press conference had put the court in “a very negative light.”

He said if Nwofo failed to comply with his directive to produce the persons involved in the press conference on March 23, the court would not hesitate to “cite any person who misrepresented its record and judgment for contempt.”

He added in his short ruling, “As far as the court is concerned no such orders were made. “In fact, even the plaintiff, the Young Democratic Party, did not seek such reliefs from the court. “It is therefore very unfortunate that that the court is portrayed in a very negative [/b]perspective.

[b]“One would have expected that the person concerned to approach the court and obtain the certified true copy of the judgment to see the orders made by the court.

“In the light of the embarrassing situation, I hereby direct the learned senior counsel to the plaintiff to investigate this ugly development and bring the persons or possible persons who held the press conference to court on the next adjourned date to show the court where the said order was made, failing which the court will not hesitate to cite any person who misrepresented its record and judgment for contempt.”

According to the enrolled order of the judgment, the court, only ordered the INEC to issue certificate of registration to the party.

The judge had held in the judgment that YDP was deemed registered as a political party by virtue of the failure of INEC to communicate its decision not to register the then political association as a political party within 30 days of receiving its (the plaintiff’s) application as stipulated in section 78 (4) of the Electoral Act. A copy of the court’s judgment also obtained on Wednesday showed that the plaintiff – the YDP – did not ask for inclusion in the polls in its amended originating summons dated December 2, 2014.

Judge don fall PDP hand again.

Things are just falling apart for jonaTAN and the PDP.

Morocco denied him, Judge deny his stooge Political Power.

CATALOGUE OF FAILURE BY PDP TO SCUTTLE THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS

1) Remove Tambuwal and use Ihedioha to announce conducting Election isn't possible cos of war with Boko Haram (plan failed and backfired badly)
2) Plans to remove Attahiru Jega last week through illegal terminal leave (plan failed as the opposition got wind of it and global pressure foiled the plan)
3) Block the use of PVCs and Card Readers (INEC under Jega insists NO GOING BACK )
4) Try to get a kangaroo court injunction stating INEC erred by not including YDP (judge came out smoking, denied them and ask them to STOP SMOKING THE WEED they are using)


Sai Buhari/Osinbajo
Sai APC

Really a tough time for jonaTAN right now.

Heard he is in Lagos again this weekend, Maybe he should just MOVE BACK THE CAPITAL TO LAGOS since ABUJA isn't conducive again

GEJ till 2019

What is the need of giving Certificate of Registration; if they wouldn't participate in the forth coming election

Laughs. I guess the judge stood up to the pressure.

FRONT PAGE, NO WASTE TIME

The judge is asking for their azzes IN Court to confine to jail for lying against his person.

can't imagine the stupid party even telling INEC to go and dump all ballot papers printed and shift election date because they have the best presidential candidate for the ELECTION.

following...

JonaTAN must go

Biko let's console him in advance

Great

Cc: Seun, lalasticlala , Obinoscopy abeg do the needful on this story. This is indeed great for democracy.

We need to discuss the story in light of INEC's readiness for the election, APC victory in relation to clinching aso rock number one seat, the looming loss of Jonathan's campaign machinery and the justice system.

The Judge was not in any kind of pressure, He cannot grant a Plaintiff a relief the plaintiff didn't even seek in the first place.

I don't know the kind of CHARGE and BAIL lawyer who gave them the encouragement to go ahead and make all the announcements they made.

Pity this is another money wasted by jonaTAN who got a daft man who wrote an autobiography on his life to go register a party then use him to threaten our DEMOCRACY.

The most silly thing the PDP does is that they don't know how to cover their azzes, they have been the one shouting Buhari is too old and then want to use a YOUNG DEMOCRATIC PARTY to scuttle and derail the hardwork of JEGA

The Head of those promoting the Party was a journalist who wrote about jonaTAN not quite long ago, isn't it obvious the big masquerade behind them is the presidency.

Jega never quiver under such nonsense distraction.

He knew where the whole thing was coming from. The Fresh Democratic Party did similar thing before the Anambra Election but Jega just ignored them. You are coming up with a court injunction telling him to go against the constitution and electoral act.

He won't bulge

Things are working for the good of the good loving people of Nigeria. Imagine this party trying to hold us to ransom because a court judgement was misinterpreted to just because of their selfish interest. God pass them all and the party people they are fronting for will be very angry with this new development. They should be jailed for this act. Shame to them all (Young Democratic Party indeed). Imagine the embarrassment they are bringing to the youth of this great nation. Nobody's self ambition should supersedes the will of the people, Nigeria is greater than self ambition of one persons that want to remain in power or return us 16 years backward because of his ambition. Say no to interim government. Change is the only way forward and we will do so with our PVCs come March 28 no more no less. God Bless Nigeria!!!

Who cuurrrs

Elections must hold as schedule.
