Comrade Godwin Erahon, a former Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, has warned the state Governor Godwin Obaseki, his Deputy Philip Shaibu to be wary of the fate of candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) political party in Imo state over the recent Supreme Court verdict.

Erhahon said Obaseki is surrounded by swindlers who are urging him and his Deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu, to continue to pursue their gubernatorial ambition on the “wonky, expired and empty platform of the PDP.”

Erahon, in a statement issued in Benin, the state capital, said the June 26th 2020 Supreme Court judgment in the case involving Chief Uche Nwosu of AA party, who participated in the party primary election of two different political parties in Imo State ought to have made Obaseki to have a rethink because of the illegality of the action.

He said: “The apex court crafted the judgment so explicitly as if it was meant for the duo of the governor and his deputy to understand what fate awaits them in the state.”

According to the former chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in the state said, “The Supreme court nullified Uche Nwosu nomination in AA on the that he had contested for nomination under APC.

“As if to explain itself further to the outgoing Governor, the Supreme Court elaborated on how the relevant law nullifies the PDP candidacy for their understanding when it elaborated thus:
‘The spirit of the law forbids anyone to contest for nomination under two or more parties in same election or even start the process of being nominated by procuring the nomination form.’ How does Gov Obaseki hope to escape the last clause?

He noted: “The clause has rendered the expired PDP governorship ticket a counterfeit. Obaseki procured APC nomination form, filled and returned same and to crown it up, attended APC screening which he failed. By the clause under reference, the Supreme Court seems to have told Obaseki to stop wasting his time and resources.

“So also does it sound a warning to Obaseki’s ers that they are about bury themselves along with a dead body because they are blinded by temporary pecuniary sentiment.

“Whoever is being deceived by his neighbour may survive but whoever deceives himself is on a suicide mission. Let’s watch and see where desperation, cantankerousness and sadism are leading Governor Obaseki to. Like the Benin elders would say “hasty wrestling and fatal fall go together,” he stated.

See mumu talk o...how is Obaseki competing under 2 parties when he was screened out from participating in the APC primary contest? This man's analysis is so daft and grossly deficient that you will prefer listening to a cock crow, than listen to his opinion on issues. His statement has ended up announcing him as one who meets the case definition for psychiatric evaluation

APC is really JITTERY here

Samuel ortom of Benue state 2015... Please before mentioning me try and read well, Samuel ortom contested and lost PDP primaries in 2014 before decamping to APC to become their candidate.....In Uche Nwosu case, he actually won the APC primaries but his name was replaced with Hope Uzodinma..he was disqualified because he was candidate of both APC and AA...

dont mind APC misinformation. Obaseki didnt contest APC's primary

" it is finish" we told those ipob PDP before, they were arguing blindly.
supreme court says you can not participate in two party nomination process. I don't know how slowpoke obaseki will escape from this supreme court judgement.

That was not what the supreme Court judgement was about Oga ....ugumba was the real candidate of APC according to supreme Court ...

Ugumba actually contested and won a faction of APC primaries ....then left when he thought his faction won't win the case

obaseki er that is not ipob.

the problem with ipob is that they will know the truth and still decide to argued f.o.o.l.I.s.hly.

but what did you read in this report.

so only Godwin erhahon get this interpretation from supreme court.

you can provide us with your own version of supreme court judgement.

Igbochief001:

Oga people have been doing it for long ...

and people are be using discrepancy certificate before, but supreme court stop that with that of bayelsa.

and people has be purchasing two or more different party nomination form before but supreme court has stop that with that of uche nwosu.

aolawale025:

and participate in the nomination process of screening and he was disqualified,
and he is not supposed to jump ship.

if you fail in your class, can you go to the next class to participate in the same exam?

aolawale025:


Purchase of forms does not equate to nomination. The electoral act is clear on this

Purchase of form and screening is part of the nomination process. The nomination form he bought and submitted to APC and the screening committe’s report will be tendered as evidence before the court and he will be disqualified. It is that straightforward.

ManOfCompetence:

Samuel ortom of Benue state 2015

nobody took the issue to court.
beside that was then,
but now, supreme is changing all the past illegalities.

The Supreme court nullified Uche Nwosu nomination in AA on the that he had contested for nomination under APC – The spirit of the law forbids anyone to contest for nomination under two or more parties in same election or even started the process of being nominated by procuring the nomination form.


If truly the bolded clause was made by the supreme court judge. Then Obeseki needs miracle to survive.

[quote author=Jesusloveyou post=91287204][/quote]
The grounds for Supreme court disqualification of Uche Nwosu was not that he bought nomination forms from two parties but because he was already validly nominated by APC before he went to AA and also got nominated thereby making him double candidate. Obaseki was not allowed to participate in the primary election of APC talkless of being nominated by the party before leaving for PDP.
