cnario:It means that INEC has two options: 1. Accept the verdict and re-conduct the 2011 legislative elections. This automatically means that the senators/reps that were elected in 2011 have lost their mandate. Also this means whoever wins in the new elections has less than 6 months to stay in office before the next 2015 legislative elections. 2. Appeal the verdict at the Supreme Court. In this case, there are 3 possibilities: a) The Supreme Court might reaffirm the judgements of the lower courts. In this case, we're back to option 1. b) The Supreme Court could nullify the judgement. In this case, the status quo is maintained c) The case might linger in the Supreme Court till 2015 elections. In that case, whatever verdict the Supreme Court gives would just be an academic exercise as it's ruling would be overtaken by events . A 2011 case still ongoing till 2014...........this shows how slow our judiciary is. I don't think it's healthy for our democracy. We need a judiciary that would give fast judgements without necessarily compromising it's efficiency. 149 Likes 6 Shares |

Does it make any difference?. Former EFCC chairman on joining the PDP said and I quote "there's no difference between APC and PDP". The only difference between APC and PDP is their Logo.....

Please who knows any other country in world where an Appeal Court takes three and half years to conclude a case? If INEC decides to go to the Supreme Court the case will definitely not be concluded before the 2015 elections, meaning that the elected officials would have served a full four years on those positions ILLEGALLY (that's assuming the Supreme Court also upholds this judgement). This country is sick. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Obinoscopy:This is not true. The Senate and House of Reps have a particular time frame of operation. That is why they have to be inaugurated every four years. Even if elections are held again one month to the expiration of this administration, it means the winners will only serve for one month. 6 Likes |
