In law and what we know about the judiciary, when a case of bias is raised against a trial judge before the matter commences, what the trial judge does is to recuse himself from the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, he could have said, I wash my hands off just like Pontius Pilate washed his hands off on the matter that concerned Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we had alleged that he was biased and he didn\u2019t even hide it, and superintend as though he didn\u2019t see our petition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn court, the Secretary of the party, Chief Eric Nwibani, was spotted by the judge and asked to stand up and he stood up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the judge in an open court told him you people went and wrote a petition against me. You people should know that I am human o.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told the party secretary in court, in an open court, that we wrote a petition against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, he had acknowledged that there was a petition against him, that he shouldn\u2019t try the matter, it was already sided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in the course of the proceedings, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria who represented the party, also showed to him an acknowledged copy of the petition that was written against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd he continued. He said he wasn\u2019t going to respect it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget, In my press briefing in Abuja, I said that Justice Sika Aprioku was contracted for a hatchet job against the PDP. Have you people forgotten that I said so?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, are we not justified in what we said initially? What I don\u2019t do in life is that I don\u2019t know how to blackmail. When I say a thing about a particular person, I have reasons to say it, and I have the facts and figures to buttress whatever I say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He claimed some persons had met with the judge behind closed doors, and agreed with him to \u201cdeliver a judgment that will embarrass the party at the national level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Okocha asserted that the APC National had provided legal representation to demonstrate that the party\u2019s constitution permits the National Executive Committee to delegate authority to the National Working Committee, which executed the dissolution of the Emeka Beke-led executives for alleged anti-party activities.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe case was that some persons alleged that they were illegally removed from offices and that the National Working Committee has no powers to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the party sent a legal representation to say look, there\u2019s a section of the law, the constitution that says NEC because they also agree that it\u2019s only NEC (National Executive Committee) of a party that can do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat there is a section that says NEC can ceed her powers to the National Working Committee, because NEC does not sit regularly. It is the National Working Committee that is involved in the day-to-day running of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so because NEC does not sit regularly, that NEC used her powers to the National Working Committee to ensure that the party is smooth sailing in all the states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the National Working Committee who, looking at the petitions, of the judgement of the court that proved that Emeka Beke, Sam Etedegwe and others that went to court to challenge them were actually involved in anti-party activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the party in their wisdom decided to dissolve an exco that has been proven to have been anti-party in their activities. That\u2019s how we emerged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He referred to previous Supreme Court rulings which ruled that the court should not interfere with the internal affairs of political parties.<\/p>\n<p>Okocha, however, vowed to appeal the case saying, \u201cThis is a court of first instance. This matter may travel to the Supreme Court. So I want to say to you members of the fourth estate of the realm, be calm, don\u2019t be in a hurry, don\u2019t be too judgmental.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe rest assured that we are up and about and we\u2019re equal to the task.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sacked CTC Chairman alleged that there were attempts to bribe him, which he refused and referred to the law.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, he dismissed the case filed by Beke and others as academic, noting that the appointment in question had expired and a new appointment had already been made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is more to say to you gentlemen of the press, is the fact that the matter in court in which the judge had gone ahead to do what he did, to justify the money that he was given had become academic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who went to court, went to court to contest my appointment. We have passed that. Have I not given you another letter of my reappointment?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, they should go back and argue that one. That other one is already academic, it\u2019s already stale. Is it not correct? I have a new appointment letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we will challenge whatever they have done at the Court of Appeal. This is a court of first instance. Thereafter, they or us will go back to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will decide.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p>Okocha accused the state government of manipulating the outcome of the judgement.<\/p>\n<p>He further urged APC members in Rivers State to remain calm and resolute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
