In the past three days, news outlets have been inundated with reports, reviews and arguments on the propriety or otherwise of the Federal High Court’s decision nullifying section 84 of the Electoral Act which provision precludes political appointees from participating in primary elections of political parties in Nigeria.
The analyses have been followed with repeated advice to stakeholders to challenge the decision but the attendant question had always been, how do you apply to stay a judgment without first becoming a party to the suit? While it is elementary that non-parties to a case cannot ordinarily challenge the decision except granted leave, there are circumstances under which such persons can apply to stay such decisions even before applying for joinder.
As far back as 1988, the Supreme Court of Nigeria had answered that question in the case of Intercontractors Nigeria Limited v UAC of Nigeria Limited 2 NWLR 313 that: "A person who is not a party to an action cannot apply for an order of stay of execution of the judgment given in that action, unless he can show that the action is a fraud on him. Gore v. Vander Lann 1 All ER 361."On the strength of the decision above, it is my respectful opinion that, if non-parties to the suit are able to establish fraud, they can validly apply for stay of execution of the judgment without first applying to be joined as parties to the suit.

Malami forecloses appeal, speaks on enforcement of judgement on section 84(12) of Electoral ActThe judgement offers a big relief to President Buhari, whose request for the removal of the new section 84(12) from the Electoral Act 2022, was rejected by the Senate earlier in the month. Aboki So he can rush to effect the judgement before it favours their evil agenda. Karma knows everyone's address. No wonder, this is an administration for picking and choosing which court orders to enforce and which to ignore; when they want to ignore they forget section 287 of the constitution.
