The court said the plaintiff did not participate in any election whether primary or delegate elections.
Regarding the singular plaintiff, who claimed to be a delegate, the judge remarked that all the plaintiffs acknowledged that the 4th defendant is the Chairman of the 5th Defendant and yet the document that the plaintiffs presented, highlighting the alleged delegate’s name as a delegate was not authenticated by the said 4th Defendant as sent to the National Chairman.
The court then declared the case as incompetent. A cost of N2 million was awarded against the plaintiffs in favour of the 1st, 4th and 5th Defendants.In the third case, Nuberu Olufemi Adesanya and two others vs INEC and three others, the court cited the case of Alli Modu Sheriff vs. PDP to the effect that a political party is a voluntary club and its decisions are binding on its members who must obey the party or leave the party.
The court found that the purported complaint filed by the plaintiffs was misdirected as under the Party Constitution, it must start from the ward level and climb its way up. The court held that the plaintiff did not exhaust the internal remedy of the party and the case filed was “not justiciable.”
