Delivering judgement on the appeal against the PDP suit, the panel said the nomination of delegates by political parties is an internal party affair and that the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit in the first place.The Court of Appeal awarded the sum of N500,000 and N1 million as cost against Orlu and the PDP in favour of the APC and its candidates.
Reacting to the development, the APC in Rivers State, said with the judgements of the Court of Appeal, it has become clear that no political party has the right to meddle into the internal affairs of another political party. Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, spokesman of the APC Campaign Council, Sogbeye Eli, “We are glad that this issue has been settled today in law; that Party A cannot forage into the territory of Party B to question in what way or manner our candidates emerged.
“That point was as clear as day light. The Appeal Court justices in their unanimous decisions relied heavily on established authority of the Supreme Court to emphasize their legal standing on today’s decisions.”
