ON THE JUDGEMENT OF THE FHC ABUJA OVER THE DEFECTION OF SOME MEMBERS OF CRSHA.
I have received and still do calls and messages over the declaration of some seats of CRSHA vacant by FHC ABUJA,I was in court personally though not as a counsel but as an observer because I was not part of the official legal team(I was not briefed)to represent the defendants.
The court in summary found that the defection to APC of some members were unlawful and as such the seats should be vacated and NOT TO BE REPLACED.BY PDP..
Now this is the Court of first instance and the defendants has within 90 days to appeal to the Court of Appeal.
For the development of our jurisprudence,we hope the Supreme Court will be the final point of decision,this case is intriguing as the issue of jurisdiction and other sundry preliminary objections and defence will certainly be looked at the Apex courts,the legislators meanwhile will remain in office pending all the outcome of appeals which is their automatic rights.
Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN is already on the appeal processes.
