Why Zamfara APC’S 2019 Fate May Befall Plateau PDP Feature
“directing the 1st Defendant to take all steps, actions to conduct election for the PDP Executive Committee Members for Plateau State in accordance with the combined provisions of Section 223 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and Section 85 of the Electoral Act , Article 49 of the Constitution of the People’s Democratic Party and Paragraphs 5.2 -5.
The PDP upon being turned down by PLASIEC, rather than retrace its steps and obey the Court Order, decided to approached another Plateau State High Court to compel PLASIEC to accept their Candidates for the Elections. Hon. Justice Ishaku Kunda who heard the case again affirmed the position of Justice Gang, concluding that the PDP was in contempt of Court by refusing to obey the Order of Justice Gang.
With the Local Government elections fast approaching, the PDP quickly rushed to the Court of Appeal Jos Division seeking orders of Injunction to stop the Elections until their case is heard to enable them participate. The Court of Appeal not only refused the Prayers, but the PDP lost the Appeal as the Court of Appeal affirmed the two High Court judgments by Justice S.P Gang and Hon. Justice Ishaku Kunda.
Dissatisfied with the judgment of the Court of Appeal, the PDP headed to the Supreme Court against PLASIEC seeking to set aside the Judgment of the Court of Appeal.Shortly after the Local Government Elections in Plateau State, INEC set the date for the bye-Election to fill the vacant seat for Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency after the death of Hon. Haruna Maitala. Again, the PDP under the leadership of its disputed Chairman Hon.
Not satisfied with the outcome, Adamu Muhammad Alkali of the PRP who came second went to the Tribunal and canvassed among other things the fact that based on the Judgments of their Lordships Justice S.P. Gang and Justice I. Kunda, as well as that of the Appeal Court Jos Division, the PDP lacked the capacity to nominate Musa Agah for the Election in the first place. The Tribunal agreed with him and annulled the Election of Musa Agah. Hon. Agah appealed and lost at the Court of Appeal.
