HON. JUSTICE OMOTOSHO'S JUDGMENT ON THE BLUE SILKS IS A NULLITY, IT (A JUDGMENT OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT) CANNOT NULLIFY THE PREVIOUS AND SUBSISTING JUDGMENTS OF SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA, THEREFORE ALDRAP WOULD CONTINUE TO CONFER THE BLUE SILKS RANK UNTIL THE SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA REVERSES ALL ITS SUBSISTING JUDGMENTS ON JURISDICTION AND SECTION 238 OF THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION.

Hon. Justice Omotosho's Judgment Cannot Override The Supreme Court of Nigeria's Judgment in 

Ude Jones Udeogu v. Federal Republic of Nigeria & Ors (SC. 622C/2019) [2020] NGSC 1 delivered on May 8, 2020,

Therefore, the Incorporated Trustees of the Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners-ALDRAP will abide by the Supreme Court of Nigeria's judgment and continue to hold its Blue Silks conferement ceremony until the Supreme Court reverses itself.

Hon. Justice Omotosho lacked Jurisdiction to Adjudicate on ALDRAP's Blue Silks matter as he did on 13th May 2026.

The Supreme Court of Nigeria in landmark cases like Utih v. Onoyivwe and Ohakim v. Agbaso (2010), famously described jurisdiction as the blood that gives life to a lawsuit. If a court lacks the requisite authority to hear a case, the lawsuit is legally "dead," akin to an animal drained of its blood. Any attempt to proceed without it is considered a futile exercise.

The judgment delivered by Hon. Justice Omotosho remains a nullity because at time he sat on the said matter he possessed no jurisdiction having been confirmed for elevation to the Court of Appeal. 

Section 238 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 clearly states that Hon. Justice Omotosho ought to have remitted the Blue Silks matter to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for re-assisgnment to another Judge so that the matter should be adjudicated de novo (afresh). See Ude Jones Udeogu v. Federal Republic of Nigeria & Ors (SC. 622C/2019) [2020] NGSC 1. In this ruling, delivered on May 8, 2020.
