The lower court ordinarily should not have entertained the suit. No political party has the locus to challenge the primaries of another political party," he held. 17 Likes 1 Share |

The Nigerian judicial system need serious reform. I’m hopeful that Peter Obi’s administration will take it as a priority. Our judges are corrupt because they go with the highest bidders. 4 Likes |

Justice Emmanuel Obile, Wike's hatchet judge will be put to shame in the days ahead. The only institution that can safe guard our beleaguered democracy is the judiciary. But it is unfortunate that we have characters like Emmanuel Obile, Turaki Mohammed and Delop Pam as judges. Judges should be an embodiment of morality and should at all times live above board. Any judge that is genuflecting to the whims of the executives isn't fit to be called a judge. 5 Likes |

This has heavy implications for the Rivers APC & NNPP State Assembly Candidates as well as Labour Party National Assembly Candidates. Tonye Cole has to pray hard for his dual citizenship troubles anyways. 1 Like |

MiaBeer: Neither Peter Obi, or Tinubu, or Atiku can change the judiciary. Presidency is not a one man job...it is done in conjunction with others, and sometimes others need to do the jobs they were paid for. Judicial officers know what they are supposed to do...so let them do the job they were and are being paid for. Besides the above shows that our judicial system works very well. The sign of a bad judicial system would have been no provision for right of appeal. You guys should realize that democracy is not just about who gets voted into Aso Rock.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

slivertongue: I just hope judiciary would not destroy this democracy. There's no doubt that Wike is the one in charge in that zone. Wike would not allow APC to have candidates in this election. He might allow ADC, or any other but APC. |

fergie001:even if Tonye Cole is not qualified on account of dual citizenship,APC governorship aspirant should be renominated via another fresh primary, or the deputy to Cole takes over. But for a judge to disqualify the entire party,plus house of assembly plus Senate is such an absurdity, reckless,and wicked of a judge. That shows the judgement was bought. If Tonye Cole isn't qualified,what of his deputy,house of assembly member nko? Wike and his judges are bunch of jokers. That judgement won't stand In appeal court 4 Likes |

fergie001: 2023: Court dismisses PDP’s suit against Cross River APC guber candidate A Federal High Court sitting in Calabar, Cross River State capital, has dismissed a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party seeking disqualification of the state governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 general elections, Senator Bassey Otu, and his running mate, Peter Agbe Odey. The PDP, in a suit numbered FHC/CA/CS/142/2022, and filed against Otu, Odey and the Independent National Electoral Commission, had contended that the candidacy of Odey was unconstitutional in that he is not a duly registered member of the APC and that he has a dual citizenship having sworn to an oath of allegiance to the United Kingdom. In the suit commenced by Originating Summons, the PDP, then, challenged Otu’s eligibility and prayed the court to compel INEC to disqualify him alongside his running mate ahead of the governorship poll in Cross River State. Otu’s counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, had filed and extensively argued the address of Otu and Odey against the PDP and Senator John Enoh. Delivering judgement on the matter on Thursday, Justice Rosemary Dugbo Oghohorie upheld the arguments canvassed by Ozekhome and dismissed the suit in its entirety. The presiding judge held that the uncontroverted evidence before the court clearly showed that Peter Odey was duly registered in his ward as a member of the APC. *On the second vexed issue of dual citizenship, the court agreed with Ozekhome that Peter Odey from the evidence before court, is a citizen of Nigeria by birth and therefore his citizenship of the UK can not vitiate his eligibility to contest for the office of the Deputy Governor of Cross River State.* The court, therefore, concluded that the suit of the plaintiffs was devoid of any merit whatsoever and accordingly dismissed same. Addressing The Point after the court sitting, Ozekhome, said, “By the said judgement, Senator Prince Bassey Otu and Honourable Peter Odey remain the validly nominated candidates by the APC to contest the offices of Governor and Deputy Governor respectively, come 2023.” |

Antoeni: What can ADP and ADC do to Wike? He just allowed them to pass so as not to bring suspicion. APC is the main target. He would not allow APC to pass like that. We know it and that's what would happen. It's easy to predict. |
