C/Appeal : Rivers APC Won’t Field Any Candidates For 2019 Election - Vanguard by ochejoseph(m): 8:57pm On Dec 12, 2018 |
The Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division on Wednesday confirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State will not field any candidates during the 2019 General elections when it dismissed the appeal filed by the factional Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Mr Tonye Cole. The Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division also confirmed the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu that Rivers State has no ward executives, local government executives and State Executives as it dismissed the appeal filed by Sacked Rivers State APC State Chairman, Mr Ojukaye Flag Amachree. The Court of Appeal Port Harcourt Division Special Panel Chaired by Justice Abubakar Yahaya dismissed the two appeals for lack of merit. The third appeal which centred on the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu was dismissed because it was filed out of time and therefore statute barred. Delivering his judgement Justice Yahaya,said the appeal against the Justice Chinwendu Nwogu High Court judgement on the party Congress crisis lacks merit, adding that the application for joinder failed to observed the 14 days rules of Appeal. While delivering judgement on the substantive appeal number CA/PH/198 that bothered on Justice Nwogu’s judgement, the panel ruled that the Ojukaye faction failed to seek leave of court before appealing against the judgement. Justice Yahaya ruled that the judgement delivered at the lower court was a consent judgement, adding that Ojukaye faction should have done the needful legally before approaching the court. Counsel to Ibrahim Umar and 22 others, Mr Patrick Luke said that the rulings of the Court of Appeal confirm that the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu remains valid and is still subsisting. Counsel to Ojukaye Flag Amachree, Emenike Ebete noted that the court heard the three matters and in her wisdom arrived at the rulings confirming the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu. He said: “Arguments were taken but the Court in its infinite wisdom held that in appeal 461, that is the substantive appeal, that the consent judgement of the High Court of Rivers state and by provision of the constitution, we ought to have sought leave of court to appeal against that consent judgement. That is their own decision and they struck it out. “The one for the candidates and the party state excos, we were dismissed on the ground that it was a pre-election matter, that we did not bring the application within 14 days after decision was delivered on October 10. What that means is that, we will approach the Supreme court to contest the judgment “. It will be recalled that on October 10, 2018, a High Court in Port Harcourt nullified the nomination of Mr Tonye Cole as the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State on the ground that his nomination is a function of illegality and unconstitutional acts. The Court also nullified the the Rivers State APC Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly Primaries conducted on the premise of the illegal ward congresses. The High Court further nullified all the elections of Rivers APC Ward Executives, Local Government Executives and State Executive Committee that arose from the illegal ward congresses. In a judgment delivered by Justice Chiwendu Nwogu in a suit filed by Ibrahim Imah and twenty-two others against the APC, the Court declared that the ward congresses of Rivers APC were illegal because they were not conducted in line with the APC Guidelines and Constitution. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2018/12/2019-general-elections-court-of-appeal-confirms-rivers-apc-wont-field-any-candidates/amp/ 4 Likes |

The headline is misleading. Please read the whole thing before commenting. The appeal court never said that Rivers APC won't field candidates. They only dismissed Ojukaye's appeal against the judgement that nullified the congress that brought him to office. 1 Like |

I'm shocked that the children of hate and the cursed IPod's youths will not read a story and jump to comment. Where in the story did the court of Appeal say Rivers APC will not field a candidate in the 2019 election. The topic also misleading. The mods should close this thread. I wonder when IPod's will have sense. Tufiakwa 1 Like |

Antipob777: From all indications, it seems you are the fool here. How do you conduct a Primary where there is no congress? What this means that , The congress that brought those candidates are illegal and did not meet the minimum requirements of law guiding conduct of party primaries. Therefore those Primaries and there candidates are null nd void. Educate urself 22 Likes 2 Shares |

I would like to ask this simple question- did the political party hold a primary? That was observed by inec as either the ameachi faction or Abe faction? - if Yes! The court does not have the right to say one party cannot field any candidate in the 2019 election, since they are not the electoral umpire- the court has over stepped it's bounds by meddling with the internal working of the party and as such if this goes to the Supreme Court it would be thrown out for lack of judicial responsibility |
