Nigerian High Court Stops Electoral Body, INEC From Using Tinubu’s Loyalist, Oluomo To Distribute Election Materials

A Federal High Court in Lagos State has finally stopped the Nigerian electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), its agencies and any individual acting under the commission’s directives from engaging Lagos State Parks Management Committee, being controlled by Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya a.k.a MC Oluomo, or any of its members and/or drivers to distribute 2023 election materials and personnel in the state.

The decision was made by Justice Chukwuejekwu Aneke while delivering judgement in a suit filed by the Labour Party, its governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-vivour, and four others.

The African Democratic Congress and Boot Party, and their governorship candidates, Mr. Funsho Doherty and Wale Oluwo, are also named in the suit.

In a motion on notice filed and argued before the court, the applicants' lawyer, Abass Arisekola Ibrahim, sought the following reliefs: "a declaration that the appointment, partnership, or contracting of Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo-led Lagos State Parks Management Committee by INEC to distribute 2023 election materials and personnels in Lagos State violates Section 26 and 27 of the Electoral Act 2022 and consequently unlawful, null and void.

"A declaration that the appointment, partnership, or contracting of Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo-led Lagos State Parks Management Committee (established by Governor Babajide SanwoOlu, the APC gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State) and any of its members and/or drivers by INEC to distribute election materials and personnels in Lagos State will give room for election sabotage, manipulation, and rigging in favour of the APC and consequently unlawful and illegal.

"A declaration that the appointment, partnership, or contracting of Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo-led Lagos State Parks Management Committee or any of its members and/or drivers by INEC to distribute 2023 election materials and personnels in Lagos State is unlawful, wrongful, unjust and/or unreasonable and should be immediately stopped.

"An order setting aside any partnership, undertaking, contract and/or MOU of any form or nature executed by Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, the Lagos State Parks Management Committee or any of ifs members and/or drivers with INEC to distribute election materials and personnel in Lagos State.

"An order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC and/or their privies or any persons acting under their directions from contracting, partnering of appointing Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, Lagos State Parks Management Committee or any of its members and/or drivers to distribute 2023 election materials and personnel in Lagos State."

The reliefs were listed as 'reliefs one to five.

Despite being served with all of the processes in the suit as ordered by the court, INEC did not file a response to the suit and was not represented by a lawyer.

Delivering judgement in the suit today, after perusing all the documents filed by the applicants, and citing plethoras of legal authorities, Justice Aneke held that:

"I have summarized and considered the submissions of the plaintiffs in respect of this Originating Summons. This court will now consider the affidavit evidence of ABASS IBRAHIM in support of the Originating Summons.

"Paragraphs 1-6 of the said affidavit merely introduced the parties in this suit. In paragraphs 7 and 8 of the affidavit, the deponent deposed to facts which he premised as follows: “1 am aware ...and | know ...”without giving particulars as to how he was aware of the facts or how he knew the facts and thereby contravening the provisions of Section 115(1), (3) and (4) of the Evidence Act, 2011.”

"Paragraph 9 of the said affidavit, the deponent also did not give particulars of how he came to the knowledge of facts deposed therein thereby also contravening the provisions of Section 115(1), (3) and (4) of the Evidence Act, 2011.

"Exhibit 1 referred to in paragraph 9 of the said affidavit as the copy of a banner sponsored by MC Oluomo showing his support for APC, its Gubernatorial and Presidential Candidates is a computer generated evidence being a photograph. It complied with Section 84 of the Evidence Act, 2011 and therefore admissible in evidence.

"In paragraph 10 of the said affidavit, Exhibit 2, referred to therein to prove the deposition in the said paragraph is a photocopy of a letter written to the Defendant. tt was stamped received by the Defendant (INEC). Being part of the records of the Defendant, it is a photocopy of a public document. Exhibit 2 not being the original letter and not being a certified true copy of a public document is not admissible in evidence.

"In paragraph 11 of the said affidavit the National Dailies on which the facts averred therein were based were not tendered as exhibits before this court. It is trite that in affidavits, facts are proved by documents. Since the documents relied upon were not tendered, the facts deposed to in this paragraph cannot be relied upon by this court.

"In paragraph 12 of the said affidavit, the deponent relied upon Exhibits 3 and 4 to prove the facts deposed therein. Both Exhibits 3 and 4 complied with Section 84 of the Evidence Act, 2011 but being public documents they were not certified in accordance with Sections 104 and 105 of the Evidence, Act, 2011. Therefore, like Exhibit 2, they are not admissible to prove the contents of the said paragraph, that is, paragraph 12 of the supporting affidavit. See the Supreme Court cases of KURBOR & ANOR v. DICKSON ORS (2012) LPELR-9817 (SC}; OMISORE & ANOR v. AREGBESOLA & ORS (2015) 15 NWLR (PT. 1482) 205 and DICKSON v. SYLVA & ORS (2016) LPELR-41257 (SC). The dec sion of this court in paragraph 12 also applies to paragraphs 13, 14, 16 and 23 of the sard affidavit together with exhibits 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively referred therein. Paragraph 15 of the said affidavit is premised with the deponent’s believe without stating his reasons for his belief and this court cannot act on beliefs but on facts or supportive facts.

"In paragraphs 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25, the deponent deposed to his beliefs and personal knowledge without giving the court particular facts which informed his beliefs and personal knowledge so that the court can make an informed decision. It is therefore obvious that apart paragraphs 1- 6 of the said Affidavit which are merely introductory and paragraph 9 thereof all the other paragraphs were rejected for failure to comply with the provisions of the law.

"It is trite law that apart from admissions, affidavit evidence can be proved by documentary evidence. See the case of NWOSU v. IMO STATE SANITATION AUTHORITY (1990) 2 NSSC 108. Exhibit 1 which is the only exhibit admitted in evidence shows that Oluomo is the State Chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Management and a member of the APC and is also campaigning for “TINUBU/SHETIMA 2023 and also SANWOOLU 4 2nd TERM”. This exhibit and what it contains is therefore only sufficient to answer the three (3) questions framed by the Plaintiffs partly in the affirmative to the effect that MC OLUOMO is the State Chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Management, and a member of APC and campaigns for “TINUBU/SHETIMA 2023 and also SANWOOLU 4 2nd TERM”.

"In the result, reliefs 1-4 are hereby refused while relief 5 is accordingly granted.

"For avoidance of doubt the said relief 5 is hereby set out as follows: “AN ORDER OF PERPETUAL INJUNCTION restraining INEC and/or their privies or any persons acting under their directions from contracting, partnering or appointing Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, Lagos State Parks Management Committee or any of its members and/or drivers by INEC to distribute 2023 election materials and personnels in Lagos State.”

Tulumbu will lose Lagos woefully

[/quote]

MC Oluomo transporting electoral material in a solemn and sensitive national civic duty of election kind where his demigod Tinubu have a major interest? As par Federal Ministry of Transport or NIPOST role?

Another kind of Lauretta Onochie INEC commissioner-ship appointment? How did Nigeria ended this way - with lowering of every possible standard of developing, constitutionality and good governance?

Again, Tinubu, his lackeys, urchins, miscreants and mummified zombies ti lule. It will never be well with anyone still planning to continue to stagnate and rip off this nation. Bunch of retards and fucktards. Forward ever! Backward never!

Gbas gbos

Vote Peter Obi

No sense and fairness to allow a puppet of a fellow presidential candidate to transport sensitive election materials. Who do us like this?

dbdb

Obi is coming.

Nigerians will surely rejoice

Urchins like Moh247, Batified2023, Ihordspy, seunmsg etc will not like this

#ElectionNoBeWar!!





Vote wisely

Materials that have already been delivered......

Lol, they will now use drivers from Onitsha instead. This is an inconsequential judgement that cannot be enforced because there is no agreement between INEC and MC Oluomo in the first instance. The drivers engaged by INEC have started distributing election materials already. They will complete the assignment tomorrow morning. Nothing else will change.

Lmao. When contracted transport workers don already finish work.

Yakubu na one badass sha. Him not dey talk or react to nonsense. Man just keep focus on the task at hand.

Na the same LP go court go complain say INEC no accept the candidate names wey dem submit late. Shey make INEC go National Assembly go request more funding to reprint ballot paper because one unserious chairman failed to submit name on time? Now dey don't have HoR and HoA candidates on the ballot in 24 states.

.

This proves inec Lagos state were really determined to use MColuomo!
Nah wa ohh

Nice one , equity .. no opportunity for riggers

H

Very funny when all those who have been contracted to do the job are almost done with it?

INEC has said they don't have anything to do with MC Oluomo, if the LP is scared of defeat already, they should say it instead of running from one goal post to another.

Ok

Una don hear the Latest?!!! I pity Southerners that myopically refuse to Unite behind Tinubu to use this Election as the last Opportunity Save Ancestral HomeLands of Original Nigerians. Fulani Atiku reacts as audio clip where he is planning to rig elections with 2 Govs emerges
Some senseless Southerners that are supposed to be working on how another Fualnis shall Never Continue their Enslavement Implementation were busy tarnishing image of Tinubu that is in best Position to Stop the Invaders that are hell bent on cutting off their heads and taking over their Ancestral FatherLand.

Danisaint112:
These better not be true oo. If not a rerun would have to set if the election is concluded.

This is the so called damn structure they all have.

I dreamt Tinubu won the election but I rejected, cash and forbid the dream immediately.

You are the 15TH Person that I've seen that said they Dreamt that Bola Tinubu Won this Election and they saw him on National TV as Nigerian President addressing the Nation. It means it's already Settled by ALMIGHTY in the Spirit Realm. Truly, from the way he Still Emerged againt all Odds of massive shenanigans that his enemies tried against him because they wanted one of the Nigeria Invaders' Tribe to win during the Primaries, every intelligent Person agrees that Tinubu has been Destined to become the President of Nigeria, and nothing can change that. The earlier we all unite to Begin to Pray for his Tenue as Nigerian President to favour us for great National Development and Unprecedented Progress the better for us. Biden, Buhari, Bola, etc. Haven't you noticed that the most abused and ridiculed Presidential Candidate ends us becoming President in this Era?!

benitwater:
Which structure una get before?
Know this and know peace,
Asiwaju Baba Bola Ahmed Tinubu is winning this Saturday presidential election.

Exactly!

These people has finished Bola Ahmed Tinubu, omo i have never seen an election like this in my life.

For the first time in history, the sitting government wants a free and fair election.

Thugs and powerless in Lagos State right now, no much cash for vote buying.

Na now we go know how far.

You type is highly predictable. Guess you can see how how the senseless APC governors have realised the folly of daring a president though he is a lawless man? Guess your partisanship have becloud your sense of sound judgement? This post is hereby bookmarked for posterity.

Any Christian that vote apc Muslims and Muslims tickets tomorrow will never see the gate of heaven that person will have accidents and die b4 the year end ijn Amen.
