Supreme Court Strikes Out Suit Challenging Gov Wike's Eligibility by Mophasa(m): 11:55am On Jul 15, 2019 |
The Supreme Court on Monday struck out a suit challenging the eligibility of Governor Nyesom Wike for the 2019 gubernatorial election in Rivers State. A five-man panel of the Apex Court In two unanimous judgments upheld two appeals by Wike, with which he challenged the leave granted to Elvis Chinda by the Court of Appeal. Chinda had sued at the Federal High Court, querying, among others, the authenticity of birth certificate allegedly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by Wike and prayed the court to disqualify him from contesting the last governorship election. Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt in a judgement, earlier this year, dismissed the suit, a decision Chinda appealed at the Court of Appeal, Abuja. Chinda later discovered that his notice of appeal was wrongly addressed to the Federal High Court as against the Court of Appeal, and applied for leave to amend. Wike objected to the amendment sought by Chinda, on the grounds that he applied to amend outside the time allowed by law for him to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court. The Court of Appeal disregarded Wike’s objection and granted the amendment sought by Chinda, a decision wike appealed to the Supreme Court in two appeals marked: SC/606/2019 and SC/607/2019. In its lead judgment, authored by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola and read by Justice Paul Galumje, the Apex Court set aside the leave granted Chinda by the Appeal Court to amend his notice of appeal. The Supreme court held that the amendment, granted outside the time allowed for the appellant to file his appeal, violated Paragraph 14(4) of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act. The Supreme Court proceeded to allow both appeals filed by Wike and struck out the notice of appeal filed by Chinda,which it said was defective.

See hypocrite PDP. With this judgement, democracy is winning and waxing stronger but if other way, democracy is dead, judiciary is in APC pocket. Bunch of sore looser, killer gang Have you noticed that the same set of people protesting for release of El zaky Zaky in Turkey and Europe were the same set of people protesting for actualisation of Biafra and ipob referendum? What's the link it's Dubai strategic meeting. The sponsor of both is PDP. Ask Abaribe if na lie. 2 Likes 1 Share |
