Supreme Court affirms Ahmed Lawal as the authentic candidate of the APC for Yobe North Senatorial district
In a majority judgment, Justice Centus Nweze held that the 1st respondent (Bashir Machina) who was an applicant at the trial court was wrong to have commenced his suit by way of originating summons.
3 out of the 5 member panel of the Apex court held that when an allegation of fraud is made as in the case of Mr Bashir, when he alleged that the APC fraudulently forwarded the name of Ahmad Lawal to INEC as its Candidate pleading must be taken.
A suit can only commence by way of originating summons when facts canvassed there in are uncontentious
The suit ought to have been brought by writ of summons.
Justice Centus Nweze who read the lead judgment, set aside the judgment of the lower courts.
A dissenting judgment read by justice for Jairo held that Mr Lawan voluntarily withdrew his candidacy from the senatorial race which he had sworn to a commissioner of oath.
There are no irreconcilable differences that will call for pleadings to be taken.
It is not unusual for an applicant to allege fraud in a criminal or civil matter, does it now mean that anywhere the word fraud is used pleading must be taken?
The appellant (APC) did not obtain leave of this court to appeal on facts in the appeal
The Supreme Court has in different occasion dismissed appeals brought before it, where leave was not sought
The judgment of the two lower courts was upheld and a sum of 3 million Naira was awarded in favour of Mr Machina.
