That Mr. Eyitayo Jegede will fly the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in next Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State was further affirmed on Thursday by the Supreme Court, which struck out all the interlocutory appeals filed by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the party.
Giving reasons for their decision, Justice Walter Onnoghen, leading four other justices of the apex court, held that Wednesday’s judgment of the Court of Appeal on the main appeals rendered the interlocutory ones academic.
Onnoghen held that it was against the rules of the court to determine interlocutory appeals and motions when a lower court had decided on the substantive issues.
“To this end, all interlocutory appeals relating to the Ondo State PDP governorship crisis and the leadership tussle of the party at the national level are hereby struck out.
“The contending parties are ordered to go back to the lower court and do the needful.
“ That would mean filing notice of appeal on the judgment of the Court of appeal,” he stated.
It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal on Wednesday removed Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the PDP in Saturday’s election.
Jegede, the candidate of the Makarfi faction of the party, was relisted to contest against other leading candidates such as Rotimi Akeredolu of APC and Olusola Oke of the Alliance for Democracy.
Justice Ibrahim Saulaawa, who led two other justices in a unanimous decision, held that the Federal High Court, Abuja, erred in its Oct. 14 ruling which substituted Jegede’s name with that of Ibrahim.
He also held that the court equally erred when it ordered INEC to remove the name of the appellant from its nomination register.
Justice George Mbaba, who delivered the lead judgment on the party’s leadership crisis, described the process that led to the June 29 judgment as a “ fraud.’’
Mbaba said the trial court breached Section 36(1) of the constitution by denying the Ahmed Makarfi Caretaker Committee right to fair hearing.
Good one from the court. Lolz. God is watching them. It’s well with GEJ and ondo people. Lol
Why are you bringing GEJ into this matter. Ondo people and GEJ are not related. A beg stop disturbing this man
It’s well with you and me plus Nigeria and our family member.
His a man of peace,thats my respect for him. God bless GEJ
so gej is d one that gave d judgement to allow peace, dumb headed morley
God have mercy on u and ur family. GEJ is blessed.
Dumb headed Morley indeed!
God bless GEJ and his great team.
Beautiful from the judiciary am just so happy
D NJC must flush out some bad eggs in d Judiciary,like Justice Okon Abang in order 2 sanitize d System
Story teller!
I wish we understand the judgement we are celeberating . Yes , Jegede will contest but can it be sustained . The judgement is not final. The supreme court is yet to decide which one is the full , final and authentic PDP( Makarfi or Sheriff) , UNTILL then its no party time.
Are u sure dt u heard the judgement well?. Sherif is finished 4 ever. Up Mekarfi Up Jegede!! Up PDP!!!.
Waoo. It was interlocutory that was dismissed not the substansive suit. Dont be deceived . The Supreme court has just consuldated alll suits into one and final judgement on whose Pdp is the original is being awaited. Its this final judgement that will determine the faith of Jegede and Ibro. ie who will be the real govr assuming Pdp wins . Dig up ROTIMI Amaechi vs Pdp
If you are in doubt ask your lawyer.
he get lawyer
Jimoh Ibrahim is gone forever. It was part of the judgement that the primary of the guber candidate must be conducted in Akure but Jimoh Ibrahim emmerges from one corner in Ibadan. Markaffi faction was recognised in Edo and Ondo what other judgement do you want. Supreme court will only affirm this ruling.
Let wait and see wat happened:::::
Sheriff can not win in the suprem court.justice was subverted in favour of sheriff and he thought such would be heard of in the suprem where erudite judges held prompt.
Are u one of the agent of evil to destroy Nigeria? God is at your back woman.
Must you abuse people to pass your comment@Emmanuel awolalu

November 26,2016…….From the office of the senate president nuolgs that’s my 2sure no
How far ? Good or bad analysis ?
Jimoh Ibrahim ousted factional candidate of Pdp has switched his support for the party to Apc. He deliberaterly destabilized pdp.
Either way, PDP is ambushed. If it wins, the victory may be there for Jimoh to take at the Supreme Court. If Aketi wins, that is the intention.
Just to deceive masses
Jimoh is d cost of all dis i will still come for eleton in dis state
We are not after that
