ECNBA 2018 IS RIGHT TO
APPLY ARTICLE 2.4(C) OF NBA CONSTITUTION 2015 which reads:
“The ECNBA shall issue
guidelines for conduct of electronic voting, which shall amongst other things
provide for verification of voters, place, time and platform to be utilized for
electronic voting for each particular election year taking into consideration
the state of available technology and Information technology infrastructure of
the Branches in order to afford all registered voters the opportunity to vote.” - Article 2.4(c) EC
NBA is the appropriate committee to act in the circumstances & has issued
its directives. Thank you.
Please additionally, I
refer to the dictum of Hon Justice Nweze in SKY BANK PLC vs- IWU (2017) 16 NWLR
(Pt. 1590) SC 24; the Supreme Court held - where the words in a
Constitution, are clear and unambiguous, a literal interpretation (not one
importing mischief, but untethers it) will be applied, that is the words will
accorded their plain and grammatical meaning. See also N.E.W LTD vs- DENAP LTD
(1997) 10 NWLR (Pt. 525) 481; OJOKOLOBO va- ALAMU (1987) 3 NWLR (Pt. 61) 377;
OLAREWAJU vs GOVERNOR OF OYO STATE 1992 9 NWLR (Pt. 265) 335; EGBE vs-
YUSUF (1992) 9 NWLR (Pt. 245) 1.
He was in the High Court
Nnewi to challenge his disqualification by EC NBA in a suit with nil prospects
of success, unable to reverse anything even in ‘ancestral jurisdiction’?. I
told Osigwe that his lawsuit would become his albatross, he didn’t listen. EC
NBA aptly acting under our Constitution has given NBA a schedule until Saturday
4/8/18 when NBA election result will be announced by EC NBA.
Respectfully,
CN AJIE ESQ.
