….Says Election Will Be Valid

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it has been following the many furtive narratives being promoted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) with the view to blackmail critical election stakeholders to accede to its design to postpone the 2023 general elections, particularly the February 25, 2023 Presidential election.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Friday, the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba exposed the attempt by the APC to mislead the public by falsely claiming that the PDP has no candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District Election.

Insisting that the 2023 elections is Sancrosant, PDP said, “our Party had earlier alerted the nation of a well-oiled plot by the APC to orchestrate security situation and promote circumstances to warrant the postponement of the 2023 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“The ultimate intent of the APC is to use such unfounded circumstance to derail the entire electoral process and impose an undemocratic situation on our country.

“The PDP hereby insists without equivocation that the February 25, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly election date is sacrosanct.

“February 25, 2023 date is already locked in for the Presidential and National Assembly elections, the security agencies have given their assurances, the Federal Government has also given its assurance; Nigerians are ready for election and will not accept any postponement of elections under any guise whatsoever.”

The PDP said that the APC and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu know that they have no chance at all in the coming elections, having been rejected by Nigerians because of their multiple failures, recklessness, humongous corruption, violence and continuing infliction of pains, hardship and life-discounting experiences on Nigerians in the last seven and half years.

“Nigerians are not ready to continue with a hopelessly corrupt, miserably incompetent and viciously insensitive political party, the APC, which has mortgaged the future of our country with an accumulated N77 trillion debt as revealed by the Debt Management Office (DMO).

“This explains why the APC and its Presidential Candidate continue to promote and encourage violence in various parts of our country including attacking INEC facilities,” the party said.

PDP also said that APC and its leaders are desperate to use their doomsday orchestrations to frighten and blackmail INEC to alter the electoral schedule after which the APC will take advantage of the situation to unsettle the general election, foist a constitutional crisis and truncate the nation’s democratic process,

The PDP therefore charged INEC, as an independent institution not to succumb to the blackmails of the APC but focus on its preparations and fix its eyes on delivering a free, fair, transparent and credible election on February 25, 2023.

The PDP also demanded that Security Agencies should place APC leaders on watchlist and take urgent steps to halt APC’s implementation of Asiwaju Tinubu’s directives to his party members, as contained in the recently leaked video, to deploy violence and underhand dealings in the 2023 general elections.

“Nigerians are eager to vote on February 25, 2023. They have suffered a lot and cannot wait to kick out the vicious, insensitive and corrupt APC and vote in the PDP and Atiku Abubakar to rescue and rebuild our nation.

“Atiku Abubakar is poised to win the majority of votes cast across the country and secure 25% in all the States of the Federation to emerge President on the very first ballot. Those trying to push the run-off narrative or postponement of elections should perish the thought. They should get ready for elections or quit the race.

“On the Borno Central Senatorial District election, our Party has been made aware of mischievous and misleading claims by the APC, that the PDP has no candidate for the Borno Central Senatorial election scheduled to hold on February 25, 2023.

“For clarity, the PDP states in an unequivocal term that our Candidate for the Borno Central Senatorial election remains Hon. Umara Muhammad Kumalia as confirmed in the list of candidates for the 2023 general elections as published by INEC.

“Such resort to falsehood further exposes the fact that the APC in Borno State is intimidated by the towering credibility and popularity of our Borno Central Senatorial Candidate, Hon. Umara Muhammad Kumalia among the people for which they are eager to troop out enmasse to vote for him on February 25, 2023,” the party said.

2023 Poll: Court Dismisses PDP’s Suit Seeking Tinubu, Shettima’s Disqualification

On Friday, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party attempting to disqualify Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’s presidential candidate for the general elections of 2023, and Kassim Shettima, Tinubu’s running mate.

The PDP lacks locus standi to file the lawsuit, according to Justice Ekwo’s ruling.
The court claimed that the lawsuit violated the “issue estoppel” concept and labeled it as an abuse of the legal system.

In a lawsuit filed by the PDP against the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC, Tinubu, and Shettima as the first through fourth defendants, respectively, Justice Ekwo issued the ruling.

Delivering the judgment, Justice Ekwo agreed with the defendants that the PDP had no locus standi to file the matter.
The judge otes that where there is no locus, it has no jurisdiction to adjudicate on an issue.
Justice Ekwo said the action was “incompetent for lack of locus standi”.

Ekwo held that the matter bordered on the internal affairs of the APC in which the PDP lacked locus to file the suit.
On argument about non-disclosure of cause of action against the respondents, the judge said that there was a nexus between locus standi and a cause of action.

He, therefore, said that since the PDP had no locus standi, it also did not have any cause of action against the defendants.
The court also agreed with the defendants that the suit was an abuse of court process.

“It is express in the provision of Section 29 (5) of the Electoral Act, 2022 that the right of action on the matter for which the applicant/respondent (PDP) has filed this action is given to ‘any aspirant who participated in the primaries of his political party’,” he said.

The trial judge stated it had been established that the PDP was not an aspirant of the APC.
“Therefore, there is no iota of law which support this action. It is on this ground that I find that this case is an abuse of process and I so hold,” he said.

Justice Ekwo, consequently, dismissed the suit for constituting an abuse of court process.

Recall that the PDP hadon July 28, 2022, challenged the validity of Tinubu to contest for the 2023 presidential election as APC candidate on the ground that Shettima’s nomination as his running mate was in breach of the provisions of Sections 29(1), 33, 35 and 84{1)}(2)} of the Electoral Act, 2022 (as amended).

It argued that Shettima’s nomination to contest the position of vice president and Borno Central Senatorial seat contravened the law.

The PDP, which sought an order disqualifying the APC, Tinubu and Shettima from contesting the presidential election scheduled for February 25, also sought an order nullifying their candidacy.

It further sought an order compelling INEC to remove their names from its list of nominated or sponsored candidates eligible to contest the poll.

Supreme Court: PDP has no senatorial candidate for Imo West.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s Imo West senatorial primary election was invalidated by the Supreme Court on Friday.

The Supreme Court stated in a decision written by Justice Helen Ogunwumiji and read by Justice Emmanuel Agih that the PDP does not, according to the decision, have a senatorial candidate in the senatorial zone.

Jones Onyeriri, a former member of the House of Representatives who served the Nwangele/Isu/Njaba/Nkwerre federal district, won the Imo West Senatorial District primary with 228 votes, defeating closest challenger Thank God Ezeani with 118 votes and Jerry Alagbaso with 57 votes.

The ruling arose from an appeal filed by Nnamdi Thank God Ezeani against Jones Onyeriri and orhers with the reference number SC/CV/1441/2022 (respondents).

The judgement was on an appeal marked SC/CV/1441/2022 by Nnamdi Thank God Ezeani against Jones Onyeriri and orhers (respondents).
Earlier, the Supreme Court had decided on a similar appeal marked SC/CV/1440/2022 by Hon. Jerry Alagbaoso against the Independent National Electoral Commission and two others.

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court held that Ezeani’s appeal “succeeds”.

The court noted that having conducted the senatorial primary election in Aladimma Owerri, outside of Orlu zone, the PDP had violated its own constitution and the Electoral Act.

Consequently, Justice Ogunwumiji opined that the PDP primary election for Imo West Senatorial District held in Owerri, was done in contravention of section 87(9) of the Electoral Act.

“The Act says that primary election to nominate candidate for a Senatorial District shall be held in the senatorial consitutency, and not outside the Senatorial zone.

“The primary election conducted in May, 2022, was held in Owerri.

“The PDP violated not only its constitution but also the Electoral Act, which is a statute.
“The act is illegal” and liable to be nullified.

Justice Ogunwumiji stated that the contention of the Respondents that it was agreed by parties to conduct the primary election outside Orlu zone was an error in law.
“The agreement to hold the primary election in Owerri violated the statute, Justice Ogunwumiji stated.

The Appellant’s lawyer, Azeez Taiwo Hassan said the problem started when his client’s petition challenging the conduct of the primary election outside Orlu zone was ignored.

“We challenged the nomination of the PDP candidate Hon Onyeriri at the Federal High Court Owerri and the court ruled against us.

“We headed to the Court of Appeal Owerri and was also overruled.

“But because we believed in our case and that the law was so clear, we approached the Supreme Court to arbitrate on the matter.

“By the judgement today, the Apex court has affirmed that our position all through from the lower court’s was right.
“The court by this judgment has validated the immutable principle and provision of the Electoral Act, that any primary election of a party must be conducted within the designated constituency or senatorial district” Azees Hassan said.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it is looking into claims of official extortion of anxious registered voters waiting to pick up their PVCs as well as employee corruption, promising to punish or prosecute offenders.

The reported discriminatory PVC issuance in several jurisdictions has also drawn strong criticism from the commission, which maintained that such actions were against the law.

The deadline for PVC collection in Wards and Registration Areas around the country has also been extended by the commission to January 29.

Barrister Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, said the Commission is heartened by the turnout of registered voters and the surge in the number of collected PVCs across the country.

“In some of the States, as many as 100,000 PVCs were collected in the last five days since the devolution to Ward level started on Friday 6th January 2023” he said.

He said that the Commission is determined to ensure that registered voters have ample opportunity to collect their PVCs ahead of the forthcoming election, hence the extension of the timeframe for collection of PVCs by eight days.

” Instead of ending on Sunday 22nd January 2023, the collection of PVCs will continue until Sunday 29th January 2023. At the moment, the period of collection is 9.00am – 3.00pm daily (including Saturdays and Sundays).

“Collection at Registration Area (Ward) level is extended by one a week from Monday 16th – Sunday 22nd January 2023.
“Collection at Local Government level will resume on Monday 23rd – Sunday 29th January 2023” he said , in a statement.

The Commission, he said it is “investigating allegations of extortion by officials at some of the collection centres and inducement by some unscrupulous voters to circumvent processes in order to obtain their PVCs. Those found culpable will face disciplinary action and/or prosecution.

“Similarly, the Commission is disturbed by allegations of discriminatory issuance of PVCs in some locations. This is against the law. All bonafide registrants are entitled to their PVCs and to use them to vote on Election Day in any part of the country where they are registered. Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) have been directed to ensure that no such practices occur nationwide and take immediate disciplinary action against violators.

“For the record, the Commission has printed 13,868,441 PVCs for all new valid registrants as well as applicants for transfer or replacement of cards. Nevertheless, issuing officers should compile any complaints about non-availability of cards and forward them to their immediate supervisors for the attention of Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) who shall compile and forward them for necessary action.

“The Commission once again appreciates the patience and perseverance of citizens as we continue to finetune our process to make the collection of PVCs easier”.

Concerned employees of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) have alerted authorities to allegations of fraud and corruption within the organization where hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds are allegedly being siphoned off into private accounts.

It was learned that the concerned employees have requested assistance from the anti-corruption organizations Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) to shine a spotlight on the organization and put an end to brigandage.

Recall that the agency was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons, with some reports alleging that top management had to go.

The staff, who spoke to newsmen on the condition of anonymity also decried the absence of a properly constituted board of the agency, after the expiration of the last one some few years.

In one disturbing case, it was learnt that correspondences meant for the Managing Director of the Agency, Dr Michael Akabuogu were allegedly intercepted by some management staff of NSITF and executed for payment to be made to contractors.

Allegations of high level of impunity in the agencies surfaced as further findings by confirm that the queries issued to the eering management staff by constituted authorities over the issues were rebuffed by the individuals.

While reacting to the reported resignation of the NSITF Managing Director, the concerned staff claimed that was false, and dismissed it as a case of corruption fighting back.

“What is happening today is that these looters who present themselves as contractors and their collaborators inside the NSITF are bitter that Akabogu stood in their way , so they are desperate to ease him out by all means including the publication of falsehood.”

“We can authoritatively tell you that the MD is a meticulous person, who is detail on his job, the concerned NSITF said.

It would also be recalled that the report from the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) had listed the NSITF as one of the corrupt MDAs. The report was recently released.

However, when contacted, the General Manager/Head Corporate Affairs, Mrs. Ijeoma Oji-Okoronkwo said she cannot comment on the issue of corruption in the agency.

She said she was on leave and not in any picture of corruption issue at the agency.

Her words: “I am not aware of any corruption, l am on leave and l can only comment on what l know. I don’t know anything about corruption and ICPC report.”

Abubakar Malami SAN, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, listed his department’s accomplishments over the previous seven and a half years on Thursday.

In a briefing to journalists titled President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration scorecard from 2015–2023, Malami noted the Federal Ministry of Justice had made outstanding progress while he was in charge.

According to him, the focus of the briefing was mostly on the Federal Ministry of Justice’s vision and goal, its policy framework, and how it fulfills its crucial tasks in advancing the government’s agenda for law and justice while cooperating with all arms and tiers of government.

Speaking on revenue generation, sale of forfeited assets, the AGF disclosed that a total sum of N1,823,788,146.86 (One Billion, Eight Hundred and Twenty Three Million, Seven Hundred & Eighty-Eight Thousand, One Hundred and Forty-Six Thousand naira, Eighty-Six kobo) has been generated so far by the Ministry, from the forfeited properties.

Similarly, on international asset recoveries, Malami said, “In compliance with Presidential mandates and foreign judicial processes, the Ministry has recovered total sums of £6,324,627.66 (Six Million, Three Hundred & Twenty-Four Thousand, Six Hundred & Twenty Seven Pounds, Sixty-Six Pence); €5,494,743.71 (Five Million, Four Hundred and Ninety-Four thousand, Seven Hundred and Forty-Three Euro, Seventy-One Cents); and $390,000,000 (Three Hundred and Ninety Million dollars) from various jurisdictions”.
Some of the recovered funds, he said, are being utilized in the financing of critical infrastructures including Abuja – Kano Expressway, Second Niger Bridge, and Lagos – Ibadan Expressway.

“Due to the concerted effort by my office in conjunction with relevant stakeholders, including the legislature, the President recently assented to Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) Act 2022 (POCA) on 12th May 2022, the AGF said.
He stated that POCA is the first legislation in Nigeria that comprehensively provides for mechanisms, processes and procedures for the tracing, restraint, seizure, confiscation, forfeiture and management of properties derived from unlawful activities.

“Its main objective is to take out the profits that incentivize and fund crime, with the ultimate aim of disrupting the cycle of crime and preventing future offences and corrupt practices” Malami said.

In addition, the Justice Minister said that a total of 648 (Six Hundred and Forty-Eight) cases instituted against the President, Federal Government and its agencies, before States, Federal and ECOWAS Courts were served by the Ministry.

“The cases are at different stages of trial. Diligent defences of these cases in the year 2022 alone saved the government from huge judgment debt liabilities to the tune of N142,458,343,888.52 (One Hundred and Forty-Two Billion, Four Hundred and Fifty-Eight Million, Three Hundred & Forty-Three Thousand, Eight Hundred & Eighty-Eight Naira, Fifty-Two Kobo) and US$507,415,901.19 (Five Hundred & Seven Million, Four Hundred & Fifteen Thousand, Nine Hundred & One Dollars, Nineteen Cents)”.

These cases, Malami said, were handled by in-house State Counsel in the Ministry; and thus saved the Country from further liabilities that would have accrued from payment of external solicitors’ fees.

More so, Malami disclosed that his Ministry is also coordinating the defense of a number of international arbitration proceedings commenced against the Federal Republic of Nigeria and other FGN Agencies.

“These include arbitration initiated by Sunrise Power over the Mambilla Power Project, Eni and Shell over operational rights. “We have also made appreciable progress in the actions being taken to challenge the arbitral award in the case of Process & Industrial Development.

“The hearing of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s application to set aside the arbitral award will commence before the English Court shortly.

“It is important to stress that the efforts by the Ministry in defending these international cases has so far enabled Nigeria to avoid liabilities running into Billions of US Dollars” the Minister stated.

He added that a total of 3,000 Terrorism cases have been profiled to date out of which over 1500 cases were prosecuted, with 397 convictions realized.

“A total of 7000 cases involving various offences including Maritime, Armed Robbery, Vandalization of Electrical Equipment and Pipelines, Financial matters, Cyber Crime, Kidnapping and Anti-corruption have been successfully prosecuted.

“The Ministry is coordinating the next phase of terrorism related trials in collaboration with the Federal High Court, the Legal Aid Council, and the Defence Headquarters. In this regard, the Ministry is currently remodeling structures at the Wawa Cantonment, Kainji to accommodate eight (8) courtrooms, Judges’ Chambers, living accommodation, Lawyers’ dressing room and conveniences to make them conducive for Judges, Witnesses as well as Defendants, Malami said.

Speaking on promotion of human rights, the Justice Minister said the FG paI’d compensation for the Apo Six Killings by Security Agents.
“In April 2018, my office secured presidential approval which directed the DSS to pay the sum of One Hundred and Thirty-Five Million Naira (N135,000,000.00) as compensation to the families of victims of the Apo Six killing by security agents which occurred on 20 September 2013.

“The payment was in compliance with award/order made by the National Human Rights Commission on 7th April 2014 upon conclusion of investigation and public hearing in the case” he said.
