The dirty cans of
worms of Professor Mahmood Yakubu’s INEC over the illegal, unconstitutional conspiracy with the cabals to deregister 74
political parties in a hideous, nocturnal, diabolical plan of turning Nigeria
into a one-party APC state to rule forever under the hegemony of the Oligarchy
has been trounced by the able leadership of the ANRP whose National Chairman HE Chief Tope Fasua a respectable, reputable,
Professional Chartered Accountant has floored Professor Mahmood Yakubu and INEC
shenanigans’ by slamming an N2Billion Naira suit in the Federal High Court, Abuja over
the case of illegal, unconstitutional conspiracy to deregister Abundant
Nigeria Renewal Party{ ANRP]- A party registered just a few months to 2019
elections.
The entire world has
condemned and discredited the 2019 general election as the worst election in
Nigerian History and most of the International and local observers have
indicted INEC and Professor Mahmood Yakubu of complicity with the Ruling failed
government of APC to rig the APC to power forever despite it is not the will
or wish of the peoples as express in the elections.
The people’s votes never
counted as the 2019 election was characterized by violence, vote-buying and
selling, election result falsifications, underage voting, inconclusive
elections, election postponements, violence, arson, voter’s intimidation, shame,
ruins and grieves. Most of the observers called for a total cancellation of the
result of the 2019 elections as a sham and not tenable to intelligence to be
used as a yardstick to adjudge who won or lost in the Election. Professor
Mahmood Yakubu and INEC failed the entire Nation woefully,
Furthermore most
peoples of the world, cognizance that no Nation in the entire universe has
deregistered political parties for the past 100 years and that Nigeria’s conspiracy to deregister
other Political Parties {shadow governments in the waiting} is a kangaroo,
illegal and unconstitutional conspiracy by the ruling APC cabals to dominate
and rule the polity forever, but nevertheless expects that such new and fresh
parties as ANRP be given some time to mature before any axe can be applied but
due to the mediocrity and vulnerability of INEC, they have landed themselves in
hot soup of an N2 Billion naira suit. They may have to sell all their assets to
pay ANRP for damages.
National Peoples News
gathered that other 74 illegally Deregistered political parties are planning to
join the ANRP in the suit and raise the benchmark of the suit compensation to N150
Billion Naira.
The suit was filed at the
Federal High Court Abuja on the following grounds:
- That section 225A of the
constitution which gave INEC power to deregister, not providing a
procedure for a party sought to be registered to make representation to
INEC, before the decision is made, is invalid being in conflict with S.36
(1) and (2) of the constitution which provides for a fair hearing in the
determination of rights and obligations of any person as an inalienable
right.
- The powers granted under
section 225A has not arisen given that the section envisages that all
events of deregistration must have occurred before the power is exercised.
In this case, INEC itself admitted.
- There are already extant orders
of and proceedings of the court preventing INEC from exercising the power which it went ahead to do. For instance, the order of perpetual injunction
confirmed by the Court of Appeal in Jezie Ekejiuba V Inec & Anor, as
well as Advance Congress of Democrats & 32 Ors v AG Fed & INEC.
- The powers granted under S225A
ought not to operate retroactively in imposing the penalty of
deregistration on parties existing before its enactment when
deregistration was not a term of registration at the time and winning
elections are not part of the exhaustive constitutional provisions on the
objectives of a political party.
The matter is yet to
be assigned to a particular court as well a date for the legal fireworks to
commence.
