FCT Judgement: ILF Reacts….

AN AFFRONT, PROVOKING AND CONTINUOUS THREAT TO THE GROWTH OF THE YOUNGER POLITICIANS IN THE PARTY BY CHIEF CHRIS UBA AND EVANG. LINUS UKACHUKWU

Sequel to the aforementioned judgement of the FCT High Court sitting in Abuja, which is purported to have sacked the Sir Ndubuisi Nwobu-led State Executive of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Anambra State on the 9th day of June, 2021; we wish to implore all the members and well wishers of our great party to exercise calmness and candor, which the party has always been known for, until the Certified True Copy of the said judgement is received, in order to provide an unambiguous and exact contents and the implications of the judgement.

It is rather unfortunate that these individuals have continued to exhibit same antics against the party as they have done for 18 years, without exhausting the internal party mechanism on conflict resolution. We therefore consider this latest judgement as ‘an affront and threat to the growth of the younger politicians in the party and progress of the party in the state’.

In line with established legal principles of judicial pronouncements in litigation, It is not in doubt that a judgement emanating from a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot nullify or set aside an earlier delivered judgement on a similar issue, except and until a judgement is delivered by a higher Court on appeal on the same matter. More so, once an appeal is filed and transmitted against any such conflicting judgement from a Court of coordinate jurisdiction, it constitutes a stay of execution on the conflicting judgement, hence ‘status quo ante bellum’ is maintained until the appeal is determined.

Furthermore, the purported judgement is laughable as such emanated from the same court of coordinate jurisdiction, which had already affirmed the leadership of Sir Ndubuisi Nwobu Executive in 2018, while another court approached by Chief Chris Uba on the same leadership issues dismissed his case in 2020. These two matters are already before the Court of Appeal, yet undecided before this recent mischievous approach to another High Court on same matter. This is an abuse of Court process and ought to be discouraged in its entirety.

ILF shall continue to engage all the aggrieved members to find amicable resolutions to all lingering internal issues of the party that breeds divisions, discord and consequently weakens the party, especially at this crucial period that the party is seriously mounting a robust challenge to the party in power with a view to recovering the Government House from the journeymen/opportunists temporarily keeping the seat warm till the November 6th gubernatorial election in the state.

In view of this and in keeping with the mandate and policy of ILF , all members are enjoined to remain peaceful as usual even as the scheduled congress will be kicking off today.
