xThe Constitution in its section 221 has accorded the political parties the pride of place in the determination of candidates for any election. This is the stage at which the domestic or internal affairs of the political party are not justiciable. The Supreme Court gave this admonition in the case of APC v. Marafa, as follows:“The democratic system this country adopted was borrowed from the United States of America and other Democratic Nations of Europe. For this great country, some politicians either are ignorant of what party politics is, or out of mischief, have continuously dragged this nation backward. If politicians are unwilling to change their ugly faces, the regulator can help beautify them.
