The Federal High Court in Jalingo, Taraba State, recently upturned the judgement of the Supreme Court in the suit filed by Senator Abubakar Sani Danladi in 2021, a move legal stakeholders have decried.
Dissatisfied by the judgement and the stumbling block to his political future under Section 29 of the Electoral Act, 2022, Danladi who appealed his disqualification up to the Supreme Court and lost decided to file a fresh application before the High Court in Jalingo to nullify the 2019 judgement and had his way.
Justice Amobeda cited cases such as Supreme Court Vs Dingyadi, INEC Vs Okoro Ugwuanyi, and Kogi State Vs INEC in delivering its ruling in the matter. They fear that if allowed to continue, justice could become the exclusive preserve of the rich and powerful in society at the expense of the poor masses who may not be able to bear the cost of endless litigation.
According to them, the latest judgement violated all laws on choices available to a litigant who wishes to appeal or file a fresh case in seeking to set aside judgement of court.
