Kogi PDP Congress: Appeal Court Accepts Transmission of Proceedings,
… Mohammed Sanni Gambo Heads For Appeal.
Muhammed Sani Gambo, the second runner up in the 31st August, 2024 People’s Democratic Party State Congress, has finally appeal the Judgment of the Kogi State High Court that called for another election for the Party within 45 days from the day it delivered it earlier ruling.
Recalled that a Lokoja High Court, presided by Justice Yahaya Adamu had on February 18th, 2025 delivered judgement where he declared as follows: “The 7th respondents, Enemona Anyebe’s participation in the PDP State Congress of 31/08/2024 is illegal, null and void and hence his purported declaration by PDP as elected official is null and void”, ordered for a fresh election.
Recalled also that prior to the State Congress of the Party held on the 31st August, 2024, a Kogi State High Court issued an order on 31st July, 2024, suit no HC/OKP/54/2024 where Enemona Anyebe and respondents 1-7 were bound to obey. The order barred Enemona Anyebe from contesting the PDP State Congress.
Similarly, the order restrained Enemona Anyebe from purchase of PDP Chairmanship nomination form, presenting himself from being screened and to participate in the State Congress.
Not satisfied with the Lokoja High Court ruling, Mohammed approached the Appeal Court on the case of contempt, insisting that the cancellation was unacceptable, as a declaration would have been made for him to be declared winner, as the only valid contestant in the election.
In the Suit at the appeal Court, Mohammed, the appellant is seeking the court to set aside the judgment of the Lokoja High Court.
Recalled that the suit at the high court was between John Ojodale and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Enemona Anyebe as Respondents for which Mohammed has now joined as an interested Party. The record of proceedings from High Court Of Justice was finally transmitted to the Appeal Court Abuja with the date waiting for it to be mentioned.
In another development, the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja will on the 8th May, 2024 mention the case brought by Mohammed Sanni Gambo, challenging the outcome of the PDP State Congress.
