Supreme Court Strikes Out Appeal By Rivers APC For Lack Of Merit by Groovenaija360(m): 12:58pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Thursday struck out the consolidated appeals of Rivers APC and Tonye Cole for lacking in merit. Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohamed in a lead judgment sustained the preliminary objection by PDP Counsel, Emmanuel Ukala (SAN). The Acting CJN said that: " the Preliminary Objection is meritorious, accordingly the Appeal is incompetent and is hereby dismissed". Counsel to the PDP, Emmanuel Ukala ,SAN, had urged the court to strike out the appeal or dismiss it in its entirety as the reliefs sought by the APC could only be granted at the court of appeal and not the Supreme Court. Okala argued that the appeal by APC was filed outside of the time provided by law, maintaining that the Supreme Court takes seriously its rules on filing of notice of appeal and non-compliance to those rules renders the process incompetent. Earlier, Counsel to the APC, J.S Okutepa (SAN) urged the Supreme Court to overrule its decision on earlier judgement delivered in the consolidated appeals which held that the appeal before it was a pre-election matter. He argued that the Supreme Court could set aside its decision if it was taken contrary to constitutional provision. Counsel to INEC, Don Umalor, said INEC did not file any breif on the appeal and likes to remain neutral and non-partisan. Ualmalor submitted that INEC leaves the matter to the decision of the court. The Federal High court in Port Harcourt had on January 7, nullified the direct and indirect primaries conducted by the two factions of the APC in the state. Justice Kolawole Omotosho, who presided over the case also restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from presenting Tonye Cole and Magnus Abe as governorship candidates in the general elections. INEC executed that order an excluded the APC from the ballot. The elections have been concluded with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike duly re-elected. >>> https://grovenaija360.com/breaking-supreme-court-strikes-out-appeal-by-rivers-apc-for-lack-of-merit/

amaniro: Actually, Amaechi started with Dakuku Peterside before Tonye Cole and most recently Engr. Awara Biokpo. Beware...!!!! Anyone who associates with CRA does so at his/her own risk. Please be properly guided. If still in doubt , you can confirm from all Rivers APC contestants at all levels (SENATE, HOR, GOV, HOA, LG CHAIR/COUNCILORS, PARTY CHAIR/WARD EXCOS etc) They are all currently in debt. I can mention names...!!! 77 Likes 8 Shares |
