Since this judgement was given two days ago, I've tried to look at its real meaning to our justice delivery system. Every judgement is suppose to address injustice. Judgements should address the higher social end of the society. I am not a lawyer, but a citizen who should be more interested about the practical implication of judgements on societies.
I want those who were at the tribunal and the battery of counsels to my party the PDP to tell me if the re-run is going to take place in all the units in the listed LGAs and if so how did the chairman and the other members of the tribunal arrived at such blanket cancellation that included my LGA, IKOT ABASI?
With fairness there was election in Ikot Abasi L.G.A. If there were skirmishes in some units within the L.G.A. I don't see how that could mean that there was no election in the LGA as a whole. For God's sake, were all the respondents sleeping at the tribunal, so that the plaintiff were able to convince the prosecution to believe that there were no elections in those LGAs.
Honestly, there was election in my ward, Edemaya Ward 1 and precisely in my unit. How can you say that there was no election, unless Justice Sadiq Umar will honestly pick out those units where election did not take place.
I call this judgement seminal, because it is one judgement that did not produce a clear winner or loser, both the plaintiff and the respondents are both winners and losers at the same time and as a matter of course are heading to the appeal courts. This is just wonderful.
Pending when the judgement will be made pellucid enough for the understanding of the common man like myself, I will continue to look at our justice delivery system as being endemically jinxed.
If I may ask, what were the APC celebrating? UOU told his supporters that he is going on appeal to cancel elections in all
I want all those concerned to shade more light on this judgement.
