Nigeria's Supreme Court, this afternoon, reinstates former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi. The current Governor has been directed to quit office immediately. The full story (as told by TheNews' site) http://www.thenewsng.com/modules/zmagazine/article.php?articleid=16694 In a landmark judgement this afternoon, the Supreme Court ruled that former governor Peter Obi of Anambra State should go back to the Government House as governor of the state till March 17, 2010. The court also ordered that the incumbent Governor, Cheif Andy Uba, should vacate office as he ceases to be governor as from today. In the lead judgement, Justice Katsina Alu said INEC erred in law by conducting election in Anambra State when Peter Obi has not served his four-year term. The court ruled that the four year tenure of Obi commenced from the day he was sworn in and will terminate on 17 March 2010. All the six justices of the apex agreed with the lead judgement. They all agreed that a governor should only vacate office four years from the day of assuming office. They said Obi had not served the constitutionally stipulated four years in office. The Supreme Court justices said a fuller explanations of the judgement will be given on 13 July, 2007. Obi was not in court but his deputy Dame Virginia Etiaba was in court. As at the time of filing this report, there was jubilation in Abuja by supporters of Obi in court. In the second case involving former Governor Rasheed Ladoja of Oyo State who also sought an extension of his tenure, due to his impeachment, the apex court referred the matter to the high court for adjudication. |

You know! they thought they were wise, they thought they had the final say and now, the tide has turned and OBJ is no longer is Aso Rock and Iwu will soon loose his job and Andy will go to Otta farm and serve OBJ and , Or they can make the PDP Chairman for Africa for life.

I'm bit confused here. So governorship election will hold in anambra in 2010, 2014, 2018, x+4? Anambra is quite customized. Well, the supreme court ruling stands. More strength to our democracy. |

azorjiu: LOL just the word i nave been lookn for  gud one azorjiu  |
| Re: Supreme Court Reinstates Peter Obi. Andy Uba To Quit Office by McKren(m): 4:58pm On Jun 14, 2007 |
azorjiu: Which is a good thing as INEC will dedicate all of its resources on that day to conduct free and fair election as against the 1/36 of Efficiency that can be dedicated to each state under the present setting. Even police will concentrate on the State to ensure the people's vote count. Our elections should be staggered. That will be the most important electoral reform we need. |

atleast some cheering news |
| Re: Supreme Court Reinstates Peter Obi. Andy Uba To Quit Office by viee(f): 5:34pm On Jun 14, 2007 |
mcren, some pple have actually advocated such even called for INEC to have bigger power in the states from my understanding of the situation the state INEC will fix the appriopriaate time for election to be conducted while the INEC Abj will print and thereafter count the votes i guess it is all in a bid to ensure segregation of power and achieve some decency in INEC i dnt know how that can help out but the Anambra case will serve as a case study at least in terms of the election being held seperately |

Good news. Say what about Oyo? Is Akala not stepping aside too? And after Obi's tenure, will Inec conduct new elections or will Andy automatically come back? Our democracy is beginning to evolve, thanks to the courts. |

 There is hope for Democracy in Nigeria after all. I saw this one coming though. Long Live Anambra! Long Live the Great Naija!

| Re: Supreme Court Reinstates Peter Obi. Andy Uba To Quit Office by youngies(m): 5:43pm On Jun 14, 2007 |
feelgood: The judgement says "INEC erred in law to have conducted election when Obi has not finished his tenure". The last election held in Anambra is a nullity. Fresh election will be conducted. |

This is a wonderful development, it shows that despite thuggery, violence and election rigging, a quietly persistent and honest man like Peter Obi can secure his mandate, even if it is delayed for a while! fake Dr Andy Uba the looter can stop all those dreams of looting and go and help Obj on his farm, no elections till 2010!!! |
