Supreme Court dismisses PDP suit to disqualify Tinubu over double nomination of Shettima
By Dennis Erezi

Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima rubbed mind together on the way forward for the nation.

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a suit seeking disqualification of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima as presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court held that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.

The PDP had claimed that Shettima’s nomination as Tinubu’s running mate was in breach of the provisions of sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84(1)(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022.

PDP argued that Shettima’s nomination to contest the position of vice-president and Borno central senatorial seat at the same time contravened the law.

But the Supreme Court said the PDP is not a member of the APC and should not interfere in matters outside its domain.

JIGBO: the branded Abacha to compete with Indomie



"Abacha (the dried shredded cassava delicacy which is very popular in Southeast Nigeria) is going global [I do not have the correct Igbo alphabet on my laptop to differentiate the pronunciation from a human “Abacha”]. Some smart guys have pre-processed abacha with spices to go. So, you do not need the raw cassava and all the efforts needed to shred it.

It seems Jigbo has NAFDAC seal already and is exporting to US, UK, etc from Ogbete, Enugu. Indomie noodles, you have a decent competitor right now, because the brand Jigbo is here.

When we say low level semi-manufacturing, this is what it is. As they scale, they can reduce cost while improving quality. Magically, this becomes another category in the FMCGs. Yes, Flour Mills of the world will quickly adopt and add. If we cannot make a rocket, we can at least shred cassava, package and reduce food wastages." - Ndubuisi Ekekwe

Osun Guber: Supreme court delivers judgement Tuesday

The Supreme Court, on Monday, reserved judgment in an appeal filed by Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, APC, against a judgment of the Appeal court, which upheld the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor of Osun.

The five-member panel led by Justice John Iyang Okoro, after listening to counsel to Oyetola, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, Adeleke, Oyeachi Ikpeazu, SAN and Alex Iziyon, SAN, who appeared for the PDP, said judgment would be delivered on Tuesday, by 2pm.

Other members of the panel are: Justices M. Lawal Garba, Tijjani Abubakar, Adamu Ojauro and Akomaye Agim.

However, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, represented by Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN, did not file any process in the appeal being decided following the decision of the court and that of the counsel to consolidate all the appeal into one.

Attempt by Prof. Ananaba to offer explanation equally met a brick wall as the learned Justices requested him to take his seat to allow Ikpeazu make his submissions.

Ikpeazu contend that a voters register was a requirement to prove over-voting in the present circumstance.

In his adumbration, Fagbemi, SAN submitted that the Appeal court relied heavily on the old Electoral Act, specifically that of 2010 to draw its conclusion that a voter register was needed to prove over-voting.

Making reference to section 51 of the 2022 electoral Act, which was used to conduct the Osun July 16 governorship election, Fagbemi, SAN noted that one does need a voter register to establish over-voting.

Section 51 (2) of the Act stipulates that “Where the number of votes cast at an election in any polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters in that polling unit, the presiding officer shall cancel the result of the election in that polling unit.”

He equally made reference to Section 47 (2) of the Electoral Act 2022.
