There’s NOTHING brilliant about what he said. I assume you’re a lawyer , right ? Let me volunteer few lines for you . 1. Take this hypothetical instance : If you’re installed a king , and someone approached the court , challenging your installation as the king , would an order for maintenance of status quo mean that you’d be dethroned pending the determination of the case ? 2. Do you know why the Court of Appeal ordered accelerated hearing ? The reasons: One, issuing an injunctive order that INEC or anyone should cease recognizing David Mark-led interim NWC would amount to determining the case in limine ( before the merit of the case is actually heard) , considering that one of the MAIN/PRINCIPAL reliefs sought by Nafiu is that David Mark shouldn’t be recognized. 3. You know, injunctive remedies are not legal remedies ; they’re equitable remedies that seek to preserve the res ( I’m using legalese on the assumption that you’re a lawyer . Pardon me, if you’re not ) 4. Two, the position in question is not perishable. So, contrary to the misleading argument by Prof Amupitan, there’s NOTHING that can happen between the time the Court of Appeal gave judgment, ordering accelerated hearing , to when the Federal High Court will decide the substance of the Originating Summons that will foist a fait accompli ( position of helplessness) on the Federal High Court. ( For instance , will the position of National Chairman cease to exist ? The answer: No!) 5. In determining whether or not to grant such interlocutory injunctive remedies, these are some of the considerations: (a) whether irreparable damages will be suffered by the applicant,(b) balance of convenience, etc. 6. Now, the questions for Amupitan ( you can see I’ve dropped the “Prof” cos I’m getting angrier with him as I proceed): (a) Which order of the Court of Appeal mandated INEC to stop recognizing David Mark-led interim NWC? ( Answer: No order !) (b) Was the order for maintenance of status quo directed at INEC to enforce ( Answer: No!) (c) In order words , did you hear Amupitan himself even claim in this interview that the Court mandated INEC to literally sack David Mark -led interim NWC? ( Answer: No!) (d) So, where did Amupitan derive the powers to drop the David Mark-led NWC? 8. Relate the rest of my explanations here to the hypothetical scenario in Paragraph 1 , and you’ll get the clear picture. 7. My brother , I know Amupitan very well.( I won’t expose the personal relationship) .I can tell you that he’s struggling with basic principles of procedural law in this interview . 8.Kindly also note that there’s NOTHING like “subject matter expert” amongst Nigerian elites.

He has not said anything untoward or subjective here. It is because many of you are not used to INEC Chair speaking directly to issues like this. Previous Chairmen were not lawyers and it was understandable if they were not this directly expository on legal matters. The current INEC Chairman is a subject-matter expert and Senior Advocate of Nigeria. He has done an excellent job here speaking directly, brilliantly, and objectively to the issues. Folks should get used to this. We must commend him for being so forthright and for not leaving the narratives to muschievous and lazy folks to run. Kudos to him.

For a moment, I forgot he is the INEC Chairman and thought he was the APC spokesperson. Where is the neutrality expected of an election umpire? 🤔

@dawisu Thinking about the same thing

@omoluabi1sq He has only one signature, and that’s the one on his resignation letter . The other signature is one he cannot repeat In any event, he has an uphill task of proving fraud in an originating summons . It’s not easy That’s why INEC has stepped in to aid him in the fight

I have taken my time to review the 3 available signatures of Nafiu Bala and I honestly cannot see the familiarity in the signatures. 1st signature is on letter head, second is on a memo while the 3rd is the resignation letter which he had since denied. I think this man signs different signatures for different purposes. The signature he claims is fake may after all end up not being fake if properly investigated

@kikh16 @Omojuwa And you are ? A rotten maggot

@Omojuwa Peter obi is a slave

People lost their lives, others lost their livelihood to the cause whilst fighting under the banner of NADECO against the military, just for them to be denigrated by someone aspiring to benefit from their labour. Let’s see.

But what has going to the Court of Appeal got to do with what INEC did ????? Why are you blaming the legal team for INEC’s mischievous interpretation and application of a simple, innocuous order for preservation of status quo ? Why ??? You’re not handling that case ; you don’t know what the ADC lawyers perceived from the body language of the Federal High Court judge. Stop this , Adamu !

Nafiu does not have a strong case. The ADC legal team just made a miscalculation by appealing to the court of Appeal in the first place. Assuming Nafiu did not resign, the ADC NEC had dissolved the NWC where he is a Vice Chairman. Except if he's saying the NEC can't remove him, he's gone.

@Mrmaximilan10 There’s nothing different in the signatures, Mr Ishaku

I have compared & contrasted the 2 letters circulating on social media. I have carefully perused both documents. The resignation letter is not on his official letterhead; it appears to have been filled out, & the signature looks different. If he used his letterhead in 2022 why is

Which top of his career ! I know that man way better than you do . He’s NOW a completely compromised personality . There’s nothing that you guys cannot destroy . Prof is a well respected academic , but see what he’s been turned to . An uneducated @officialABAT is just about to ruin Prof’s well-earned reputation . Everything about Nigeria is ironic !

We all can at least agree that the INEC chairman is at the top of his career academically and professionally - a teacher of law, Professor of law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. What this means is he sure knows what "status quo ante bellum" means. Senator David Mark, Mr. Peter Obi, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi, certainly, can't teach him what that latin legal maxim means. It is bad politics for ADC people to make their own internal crisis of choice a problem of Professor Amupitan, that of President Tinubu and APC.

@OlayinkaLere See this doooog wey dey eat Wike’s smelly akpu feaces @OlayinkaLere

Meanwhile, as Baba Kabiru was serious with his job, holding microphones 🎤, Mr ONE SHOE alias AGBOTIKUYO was busy checking online for the next available political parties with less stressful presidential ticket 😂😂😂😂😂

Reasons president Tinubu stopped at heipang. Dem think say president na councilor.

@SenRemiTinubu Even the devil 👿 knows Christ . Okay

THE BLESSED HOPE IN CHRIST’S RESSURECTION Easter is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the selfless sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the hope His resurrection brings to all humanity. As we celebrate Easter with our loved ones, friends, neighbours and communities, let us remember those in need and extend compassion and support wherever we can. May the spirit of Easter inspire us to uplift the vulnerable, love one another, make sacrifices when necessary and work together to build a peaceful and prosperous nation for all. Happy Easter! Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

@otegaogra That you’re a fool doesn’t mean everyone is . We know those deceits — they can’t sell again ! Close that smelly mouth

Why is ADC’s Gregory Peter Obi attacking a movement (NADECO) that fought to bring democracy back to Nigeria? Could it be any of these? 1. On the one hand, General David Mark, the Chairman of a faction of the ADC (ADC+), is famously reported by IBB’s close confidante Prof. Omo Omoruyi to have said that he will personally shoot the legal and constitutionally elected president of Nigeria, Chief MKO Abiola, in the head if he were sworn into office. According to Omoruyi, GDM said, “I’d shoot Chief Abiola the day NEC (National Electoral Commission) pronounces him the elected President!” This is the same GDM who allegedly had something famous to say about Nigerians and Phone ownership when he was Minister of Communications. The access to mobile phones many of us are using today is as a result of the fight organisations like NADECO fought to bring democracy back leading to OBJ’s election and subsequent deregulation of the telecoms space. Left to ADC’s David mark, it is not for the common man. 2. Peter Obi, on the other hand, was one of the primary beneficiaries of the Military Government, serving proudly in official roles whilst people like Ken Saro Wiwa, Anthony Enahoro, Kudirat Abiola, Shehu Yar'Adua, Godwin Agbroko, etc. were either killed or died in captivity, amongst others. The likes of President Bola Tinubu, Gov Uba Sani, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, Chris Anyanwu, Frank Kokori, General Alani Akinrinade amongst other notable persons who were arrested, hounded, charged with treason and/or sent into exile. I can understand why he would love the military dictatorship that killed people for speaking freely and exercising their constitutional rights. Now, to my point… Mr Gregory Obi and many of the key players have come under the banner of the ADC and can no longer hide their disdain for struggle for democracy or those who fought for it. I can safely bet that Mr Gregory Peter Obi’s ill-advised statement is one of many to come, as members of their political Assiciation of Diplaced Candidates remove whatever cloak of pretence they have around them. O’tega

You’re very funny , right ? Haven’t you heard that the Court of Appeal decision was rendered SINCE 12th March , 2026? Haven’t you also heard that it was a decision on an interlocutory appeal on a directive of the Federal High Court asking ADC to show cause why an interlocutory order shouldn’t be made against it ? Haven’t you heard too that what the ADC is planning is a Convention, NOT a conference as childishly put by you ? Please, remove that dirty wig and gown — these are apparently borrowed robes . The hood does not make the monk . You’re NOT a lawyer . Rubbish .

I am not interested in any conference the ADC held or will hold. Let's be updated on the status of the cases in court. Are you appealing the court of Appeal's decision to the supreme court? Are you going back to the Federal High Court for the accelerated hearing? Are you taking INEC to court for the interpretation of Status quo ante bellum? All these media and noise will not save the party. Let's go to the root of the issue.

@BolajiADC @inecnigeria Pure courage ! I love this !

This is to notify all members of the ADC that despite the illegal actions of @inecnigeria, the ADC congresses will continue as follows:

@official_Gegeh 1. Nepotism 2. Incompetence 3. Autocracy 4. Propaganda ….. etc

Be 100 % honest: Can you name one thing Tinubu did better than Buhari..?

@AliyuKwarbai How can Nwosu come back after resignation?

I think, the leadership of the ADC under David Mark, should vacate office and return power to the former chairman, Ralph Nwosu NWC. Since the court said go back to status quo. ADC National convention to elect new NWC, David Mark and co is next week. Whether Nafiu Bala likes it or not he'll be useless by next week

@jrnaib2 You may just be right

The best way for the ADC to escape this trap by Tinubu and INEC is for Sen. David Mark and Aregbesola to step aside and allow the old ADC leadership, led by former National Chairman Ralph Nwosu, to take over and lead the convention, as they are 100% with us. We should not expect justice from the Judiciary or INEC; we must find a way to survive them. We are running out of time. This is my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong.

I checked to be sure you’re a lawyer , BUT there’s not the faintest indication you’re one — or well educated. Let me, however, volunteer few lines for you . 1. First, in law, that “order” from the Court of Appeal WAS NOT an injunction. Even Prof NEVER said INEC was directed by the Court of Appeal TO DO ANYTHING! Okay? 2. Do you know why the Court of Appeal did not issue any injunction? The answer: the Court of Appeal had already ordered what is called ACCELERATED HEARING . Where a court is presented with a request for injunction ( these are equitable remedies), the court may decide, INSTEAD OF THE INJUNCTION, to order ACCELERATED HEARING. 3. In addition to the above reason, there was no appropriate injunction, in law, strictly speaking, that could have been issued by the Court of Appeal . Why did I say so? The injunction to be issued ordinarily would have been an injunction asking INEC to stop recognizing David Mark . However, that’s one of Nafiu’s MAIN/PRINCIPAL reliefs . Therefore , granting that injunction would have meant determining the case even BEFORE IT IS HEARD. Is that right ? 4. Two, what the Court of Appeal said was that PARTIES ( including INEC) should maintain status quo ante bellum— that is the position of things before the Originating Summons was filed . ( Now, let’s answer this question: What was the position before Nafiu went to the Federal High Court? Answer: David Mark was the interim chairman ) 5. You see, the Court of Appeal COULD NOT have intended that a leadership vacuum should be created in the ADC , which would foster chaos , while the suit continued. Not at all ! If the Court so intended, it would have issued an injunction. Okay? 6. Now, let’s take this hypothetical scenario: If you’re crowned the King of Senseless People, and the Most Senseless Person takes you to court, challenging your installation, an order for maintenance of status quo WOULDN’T mean you’d be dethroned , pending the conclusions of the case. WOULD IT ?! @nelson

@VeshSa @Imranmuhdz Are you a lawyer? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself. The Learned Silk has explained the circumstances of the interpretation clearly and you should know INEC took the right decision in compliance with the order of the Court of Appeal.

“If they (ADC) are saying we have taken sides, that is not true, because if you look at the status quo ante bellum, we tried to interrogate it, and it means the status before the hostility started, the status before the war.” - Prof. Amupitan INEC Chairman responded to David Mark-led ADC calling for his sack over INEC's derecognition of their NWC.

PDP will be on the ballot in 2027. We will present a presidential candidate in the next election. -Nyesom Wike, FCT Minister #CTVTweets

@PharmArinzee @Imranmuhdz I don’t want to join issues with you , okay. Face your miserable life . This is way beyond your IQ

@VeshSa @Imranmuhdz You know the Law more than a professor of Law? Interesting
