The All Progressives Congress has told the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise Wasiu Sanni as its candidate seeking to represent the Lagos Island Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Sanni had, in a suit marked FHC/L/CS/34/15, accused the APC of transferring his mandate to Hakeem Masha, who polled 70 votes, in an election where Sanni claimed to have won with 186 votes.

Sanni, who is a former Executive Chairman of the Lagos Island Local Government Area, had approached Justice Ibraheem Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos seeking an order restoring his allegedly stolen mandate.

He urged Buba to declare that the alleged substitution of his name in the list forwarded to INEC with that of Masha, ran afoul of the provisions of sections 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37 of the Electoral Act, 2010.

But the APC, in a letter dated January 15, and signed by its National Chairman, Mr. John Odigie-Oyegun and Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, urged INEC to reinstate Sanni on its list.

The letter with the reference number: APC/NHDQ/INEC/19/015/175, was attached to a further affidavit which the APC filed before Buba in response to Sannis claims.

At the resumed hearing of the case on Thursday, Masha, through his lawyer, Bonajo Badejo (SAN), brought an application contending that the plaintiffs processes were not properly served on him.

He also requested for time to respond to the plaintiffs counter-affidavit to his application challenging service.

But the applicants lawyer, Wahab Shittu, expressed the frustration that the matter was dragging at the instance of the defendants.

Wahab complained that despite the fact that the matter was adjourned for almost a week, the second defendant (Masha) did not serve his client until Wednesday evening.

APC asks INEC to reinstate Lagos Assembly aspirant

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has advised Governor Ayodele Fayose to stop attacking the nations judiciary, warning him against contempt of court.

The party while reacting to Fayoses diatribe against the judiciary on its ruling that barred the President from deploying the military for election, said the Governor was uncomfortable because he had plans to use fake soldiers.

The APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, in a statement on Thursday said the governors utterances smacked off contempt of court and brazen attempt to blackmail the judges in the course of performing their legal duties.

He described the Governors attack on the judges as a continuation of his assault on the judiciary when he led thugs to attack the judges of the Ekiti State High Court, tore their cloths and tore court records in the Chief Judges office while the CJs secretary was beaten.

Olatubosun said, We had already raised the alarm that Ekiti State PDP had been sewing fake military uniforms for thugs to impersonate soldiers during the coming elections to help its candidates win.

The courts rulings are deep blows to that fraud. These thugs are already being housed in Adesua Lodge of the Government House where they take off everyday to attack opponents and destroy their posters.

We have always insisted that Fayose can never survive in any system where the law works. He does not believe in law in doing anything.

How can a Federal High Court in Jos and the nations Appeal Court make a pronouncement on same subject banning the Federal Government from deploying soldiers for elections and it now becomes the lot of only Fayose among the nations politicians to raise objection and castigating the judges?

Olatubosun added that the governors actions so far did not portray him as a leader ready to work within approved standard of the law and civilised conduct.

The All Progressives Congress in Yobe State on Thursday alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party were planning for a fresh election shift in the four north eastern states of Adamawa, Borno, Gombe and Yobe.

The statement, which also condemned what it termed the ill-conceived plan for a serial rape of democracy in Nigeria by a sinking party that foresees ultimate failure in the forthcoming election and is therefore afraid of facing Nigerians at the polls due to its failure in the last 15 years of leadership.

It added, We are also concerned with the hidden agenda contained in the heinous plan to intimidate, disenfranchise, and rig the election reminiscent of what happened in the Ekiti State governorship election last year, through massive deployment of security forces to create an environment for rigging.

The party advised the PDP to refrain from this obnoxious, dangerous and undemocratic stance, which is posing great threat to the democracy in Nigeria.

It further reminded security agencies on the need to be highly professional, patriotic and to abide by international best practices.

The party also enjoined the Independent National Electoral Commission and other stakeholders not to be distracted by such devilish, unpatriotic and undemocratic plans aimed at thwarting the smooth transition and successful conduct of the general elections on March 28 and April 11, 2015.
