In adherence to constitutional provisions regarding the timely resolution of political cases, the Supreme Court is poised to deliver final judgments on Friday, January 19, 2024, in 13 gubernatorial election legal battles. The imminent verdicts will determine the fate of governors in Nasarawa, Delta, Ogun, Gombe, Kebbi, and other states, as mandated by the law to be concluded within 60 days.<\/p>\n
The legal battles involve political parties such as the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP), with each awaiting the apex court’s decision on the validity of their claims.<\/p>\n
Malam Alfa Ahmed, the Deputy Director of Press and Information at the Supreme Court, confirmed that rigorous security arrangements have been implemented to ensure a smooth judgment delivery process. The court will limit the number of lawyers representing governors to two from each chamber, and only accredited political party leaders will be allowed within the court premises to control crowds and prevent security breaches.<\/p>\n
Operatives from the Department of State Service (DSS) will oversee the screening process for access to the courtroom, emphasizing the need for a secure and organized environment. Accredited journalists will also have access to the courtroom and foyer, with the number of seats allocated to them determined by the Supreme Court. The decisions to be handed down on Friday morning will either uphold the status quo or lead to significant political changes in the respective states.<\/p>\n
