Even more telling is the fact that the purported order \u2013 laughable as it is \u2013 specifically refers to elections slated for February next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven Abure\u2019s notorious record in matters of forgery, this development, if true, would come as no surprise. Nigerians will recall his criminal manipulation during the 2023 Ebonyi State governorship election, an act for which the Attorney-General of the Federation has implicitly directed his prosecution by the police \u2013 a charge that still hangs over him like the proverbial sword of Damocles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if, in the unlikely event, this inconsequential order was genuinely obtained, Abure\u2019s decision to engage in blatant forum shopping \u2013 running to a Nasarawa State High Court in a matter over which the Federal High Court has exclusive constitutional jurisdiction \u2013 underscores the depth of his legal and moral bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince INEC is a federal institution established by the Constitution, the High Court of Nasarawa State has no lawful standing in this matter. Such abuse of judicial process ought to attract a stern reprimand from the court against the forum shoppers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, Nigerians are not oblivious to the fact that the Supreme Court \u2013 the highest court in the land \u2013 on 4th April 2025, unequivocally removed Barrister Julius Abure from office in a landmark judgment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet, Abure and his accomplices have been shamelessly sustained and emboldened by the APC-led Federal Government, enabling them to persist in contempt of court and reckless abuse of judicial processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir unholy alliance serves one purpose alone: to undermine the Labour Party and erode our democratic institutions. In their desperation for transient political advantage, they are even willing to diminish the authority of the Supreme Court itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
