'We will appeal the judgement' - Donald Duke reacts as court sacks him and declares Jerry Gana presidential candidate of SDP 
The Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP), Donald Duke, says he will appeal the judgement, removing him as the party’s presidential flag bearer. The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday declared Jerry Gana, a former Nigerian Minister of Information, as the presidential candidate of the SDP. Duke had been declared as the presidential candidate of the party after the primary election held in October 2018 in which Gana was also an aspirant. However, Gana had instituted a case against the result in court, basing his case on the zoning and rotation formula of the party. Giving his ruling, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf said:“In this instance, the party’s Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, is from the South and Duke is from the South too; the law is clear; there is nothing to write in-between. The law has crystallised that political parties should abide by the regulations which they have made by themselves.The claimant laid sufficient evidence to have the judgment in his favour; it is a clear violation of the party’s constitution; the court cannot wave right over illegality. Duke’s votes were declared null and void and the judge declared that Gana was the winner of the election.The SDP was also ordered to forward Gana’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) as its candidate for the 2019 general election". Donald Duke told journalists in Lagos that: “while we await a copy of the judgement for a detailed review, it is imperative we reiterate our constitutionally backed belief. Every Nigerian who meets the legal requirement is entitled to contest for the office of the President. Any law that seeks to curtail or subvert that right under any guise is unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect. “The delegates of our great party at its convention in October, overwhelmingly elected me as their presidential Flag-bearerr. Any attempt to subvert their wishes through the instrumentality of the courts will be challenged.As a Law abiding citizen, I urge my supporters and members to remain calm as we are confident that the decision of the Court will be upturned on appeal. We are optimistic that the Appellate Court will reach a decision that reinforces the essential tenets of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” He said his optimism was in line with the wishes of members of the Social Democratic Party

Minister
of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said members of the
opposition party, PDP, is disappointed that President Buhari did not die
after his illness that kept in the UK for months last year
2017..Speaking when he paid a visit to Kaduna state governor, Nasir
el-Rufai on Thursday, Lai Mohammed said this while accusing the
opposition members of peddling the rumor that President Buhari was
cloned.“Fake news has been on the rise because the opposition cannot
debate on our governments whether at state or federal level on any
issue. We challenge the opposition on the achievements it made either in
agriculture, security, in the economy or fighting corruption.Rather
they have found out that the most potent weapon is fake news. They claim
that the president that we are seeing today has been cloned and it is
one Jibril from Sudan. Why are doing this? They are disappointed that
the president refused to die after his illness.Just some days ago they
reported me as saying that Mr President does not know the way to his
office because he has lost his memory and nobody ever bothered to ask
‘when did I say this, where did I say this. We have it on good authority
that the opposition consultants from various parts of the world and
whose only duty is to churn out fake news.

him like an adolescent baby", among other words of advice that can be
