the scathing rebuke the court delivered to the commission concerning its conduct in cancelling the registration of the parties in February this year., on Saturday revealed further details of how the court criticised the commission over its alleged contemptuous treatment of the court process, in the process of carrying out the deregistration.
The five-man panel, led by the Court of Appeal’s President, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, in its unanimous judgment, upheld the appeal by the 22 parties by setting aside the June 11, 2020 verdict of Justice Chikere which had affirmed their deregistration by INEC. In upholding the case of the 22 parties’ lawyer, Mr Kehinde Ogunwumiju , the court held that the circumstances in the July 29, 2020 judgment where another panel of the court affirmed the deregistration of National Unity Party, were different from the instant case.
“It is obvious the deregistration during the pendency of the suit was meant to foist a fait accompli on the appellants and the court.”
