“I need to point out here that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is supreme and soars far above the constitution and regulations of a political party. Thus, any section of the constitution of a political party or its regulations which seeks to oust the jurisdiction of a court duly conferred by the Constitution of Nigeria and other statutes made pursuant thereto, is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency. See First Bank of Nigeria Plc v T.SA Industries Ltd (2010) 15 NWLR (pt 1216) 247, (2010) LPELR – 1283 (SC), Ogaga v Umukoro & ors (2011) 12 SC pt 11, page 74 (2011) LPELR – 8229 (SC), Udenwa & anor v Uzodinma & ors (2013) 5 NWLR (pt 1346) 94, (2012) LPELR – 22283 (SC).” PER J.
