OGUN PDP: COURT TO DELIVER JUDGEMENT TOMORROW


The Appeal court sitting in Ibadan on Monday, 17th December declared Tuesday, 18th December as date to deliver its judgement on the matter brought before it by the Peoples Democratic Party against the Bayo Dayo led group sponsored by Senator Buruji Kashamu on an order of interlocutory injunction granted by the Federal High Court in Abeokuta on the 2nd of October, 2018.

The proceeding which lasted over two hours had the counsel to the plaintiff, Emeka Etiaba SAN, further buttressed his position as earlier presented in the Appellant's filled briefs hammering on Non service and Lack of fair hearing.

Emeka Etiaba SAN, established why the order granted by Justice Abubakar should be vacated and justification for the Appellant's prayers. He also made references to similar cases and the judgements given in favour of the prayers same as that of his clients.

The respondents' Counsel, Dr. Alex Izion SAN, amongst his defense urged the court not to consider the prayer of the applicant which says a State Chapter has no power under the law to present candidates' list to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Izion said he is not contending the fact but because the matter on the position is still on at the Supreme Court.

After listening to the submissions of both Counsels, the three man panel of Justices of the court of Appeal, with Justice I. O. Bada as the presiding Judge and Justices H. S Tsammani and N. Okoronkwo decided to deliver judgement on Tuesday, 18th December, 2018.
