People that ate the former governors money or people seeking settlement with appointments in the new government may be the ones sponsoring all these crowd. They know the judgement can't be reversed.

When Zamfara state election was upturned in favour of PDP by supreme Court led by Tanko, no single PDP supporter complained. Now the hired jobless dudes are on the street wasting their precious time. May you guys receive brain. Amen

Why don’t you mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against ALL lower courts AND the electoral authority itself in order to immediately replace a sitting governor with a 4th-place finisher - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the 4th-place finisher himself!!

Don’t even limit it to only Nigeria. Mention any authentic democracy where that has ever happened.

YOU CAN’T! You know why?

Because the bar for removing an incumbent is high otherwise most, including a Buhari, would lose their seats (because anyone can come up with electoral errors or even forge some - as in this case!). It should be nearly impossible to replace a sitting gov with a 4th-place finisher. If at all attempted, the evidence should be CLEAR, ABOVE BOARD, BEYOND REPROACH, FULLY AUTHENTICATED AND WELL COLLABORATED!

Not some childish documents with 200% voter turnouts!

YOU DON’T BASE SUCH MOMENTOUS, SEISMIC DECISIONS ON QUESTIONABLE DOCUMENTS, TECHNICALITIES, AND PRETENDING NOT TO SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!

Understand? Or is that too complicated for u?!

No wonder we don't have many sound lawyers from that side. They don't understand how the law works.

Bastard son of a pauper!
Tell me what you have in Osun, Ekuti and Ondo backward states compared to IMO.. The Amala you pound with toilet brooms has really drained your brain cells..

Cowards from slave tinubu to the least..

You think Igbo are cowards or they don't know who they voted for abi?. Or do you think Imo looks anything like Osun that mortgage their conscience for a pack of Lipton..?

See this one. Uzodinma is the Governor of Imo, go and kill yourself.
Anambra is next. The incoming Governor of Anambra is from APC.

There is NO COMPARISON between this and Zamfara!
In Zamfara the SC simply affirmed what everybody knew - that APC never held a primary - which was the absolute truth!

Look, bros, I don’t know who these people are and I don’t care one whit about Ihedioha, but this SC judgment goes waaayyyy beyond anything reasonable.

Consider the precedent set, a person that comes 10th can easily be declared winner and immediately sworn in. All they’d have to do is present result sheets, then the Supreme Court MUST accept them no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!
WOW!!!

The thing is, folks like u seem incapable of seeing the big picture. If this were just another case u may be forgiven. But this is a case that strikes at the very core of what type of country we may end up becoming. YOU DON’T DECIDE SUCH A CASE ON TECHNICALITIES OR BY PRETENDING NOT TO SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!

Consider Bush vs. Gore, for example. The Supreme Court could have gone technical, instead they not only thoroughly examined the documents, they ordered a manual recount of the actual original votes!

NO MATTER WHAT, the SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous, seismic decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! They start doing that by thoroughly examining the documents in front of them! This is also their country and they ought care they are setting a precedent that can gradually make their country a one-party state! They are removing a gov and replacing him with a fourth-place finishing appellant based solely on a set of uncollaborated documents supplied solely by the appellant himself. Regardless of what anyone else fails to submit, they have a DUTY to EXAMINE those documents to make sure they are up to par and that the figures therein make sense vis-a-vis number of registered and accredited voters!

Since Emeka Ihedioha's legal team has filed a review of judgement, the best thing would be to await the reactions of the Supreme Court.

Judges, by training, are unmoved by emotional outbursts especially by anyone in the dock or anyone who lost their case. Therefore, if the Justices of the Supreme Court would give a favourable ruling to Emeka, it will be based on arguments on application of laws rather than the protests by mobilized members of the public. If anything, it might make them to turn down the review lest they would be seen as bowing to pressure.

Can u people ever manage to see beyond your immediate short-term advantage?!
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR SUPPORTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

Read the following. Even if u r semi-illiterate u should be able to comprehend it:

“The Guardian obtained a certified-true-copy of the record of the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by Uzodinma and APC... which shows that there were mathematical and factual inconsistencies which the apex court ignored...

For instance, on figure number 69 which shows votes cast at Eziama/Okpala (Umualum Village Square, Eziama), the total number of registered voters was 492, whereas the table shows that the APC scored 819 votes and PDP scored 7 votes, meaning that 334 more votes than the registered voters were recorded, apart from the votes polled by the other candidates at the election that were not shown on the table.

Similarly, on page 22 of the petition referencing polling unit 282, the number of registered voters was put at 591, whereas the tabulation shows that APC polled 586 votes and PDP nine votes, indicating a total of four votes higher than the registered number of voters. This, again, excluded the votes scored by the other candidates.

On the same page 22 of the record, at the polling unit 285 (Obudi/Aro, Central Assembly Square, Unusable 11) with 449 registered voters, APC was credited with 780 votes and PDP with four votes, leaving a total of 335 votes higher than the actual number of registered voters.

Figures obtained from page 79 of the record of appeal under item 384 show that APC scored 526 votes, while PDP was credited with two votes, and the total votes cast was put at 526, indicating two votes higher than the total number registered voters in the area.”[/b]

Me and you have discussed this severally and you forget so soon,guy you are not okay in health.others have moved on,i wont be surprised if you are under ihedioha's payroll.so discrepancies in six units is what is titillating you? Do you know the thousands of discrepancies found in buhari vs obj? Buhari vs yaradua,wike vs dakuku? I have told you that the apex court do not examine documents or result sheets in election cases,tribunals do that.no evidence or proofs are 100 percent that is why they weigh it on probabilities and substantial.if you read the supreme court ruling,justice kekere ekun said based on preponderances of evidences hope proved his which means that he had a multiplicity of strong evidences compared to inec which brought none.

I know you have consistently said that the errors in 6 units is defective and should nullify the rest.it doesn't work like that in the court.pdp and inec must specifically identify or point out those errors and defects in each unit differently.the judges will never do that for them without the defence drawing their attention to it.you must lead evidence in court to prove or disprove as everything in the result sheet is deemed regular.
based on ruling and court ruling,the defence never talked about those errors,they only alleged that the rezultz were forged and gave no further proof to that.

Now in matters concerning polling units,it is Legally sacred and each polling unit is different and independent.what happened in one cannot affect the other in law,you must prove each unit differently and unit by unit at a time.all cannot be generalized.if there are defects in 6,it concerns those six.ihedioha has failed.Please stop disturbing us

all these you are typing are nonsense. Ihedioha won't even go this way cos he did far terribly worse than this in mbaise. But you won't see that cos you are fraudulently one sided and hypocritically claiming being fair and righteous. You type legibly, so one would expect some sensible reasoning and balance of facts. However, you lack every moral needed to reason sensibly and balance facts. You keep shouting fourth to winner, do you think the courts deliver judgement based on emotions? It was as clear as water that ihedioha rigged the first election. Spread he couldn't get. Yet he was declared. Votes in mbaise clearly surpassed the number of accredited voters, yet they were accepted by inec. If inec claims that the results provided by uzodinmma were fake, why didn't they provide the original one. Oh will they say elections were not held in those polling units? If so why did they declare a winner since elections in those places could upturn the results. That is the way the court goes. Your own bible says you should remove the log in your eyes before even checking the spec in your neighbor's eye.

My man, Ihedioha was the INCUMBENT who had been there 7 months. There is a reason the bar for removing an incumbent is high. Otherwise anybody can connive with INEC or cook up something and no elected official will be safe. Ihedioha didn’t go to court to be declared gov. If he had gone to court with questionable results to be declared gov, the right thing would have been to laugh him out of court because precedents are set with court judgments.

Consider the precedent set here, a person that comes 10th can easily be declared winner and immediately sworn in. All they’d have to do is present result sheets, then the Supreme Court MUST accept them no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!

I find the bolded laughable. You are too intelligent for this crap. Have you also considered the precedence that a contestant can collude with inec and exclude the results of another contender in order to be declared governor because according to you the bar for removing incumbent should be high? Do you even look at a case on its merit? Do you even know the origin of this case? Do you think they just go to any printer and print results and submit to a court? Do you think the 7 judges are fools? I wonder where your conscience is. Why couldn't inec produce the authentic result. Why is ihedioha not contesting that result. He is only contesting that hope isn't the rightful candidate for APC. Have you read the reason he is back at the supreme court asking for review? Have you gone through the results of that election from mbaise? Stop been sentimental and emotional. Look at this case from the merit. Major problem is that folks like you cannot reason beyond sentiments, tribalism and ethnicity. You should acquaint yourself with the workings of the court and the law and stop exhibiting intelligible ignorance.

Me and you have discussed this severally and you forget so soon,guy you are not okay in health.others have moved on,i wont be surprised if you are under ihedioha's payroll.so discrepancies in six units is what is titillating you? Do you know the thousands of discrepancies found in buhari vs obj? Buhari vs yaradua,wike vs dakuku? I have told you that the apex court do not examine documents or result sheets in election cases,tribunals do that.no evidence or proofs are 100 percent that is why they weigh it on probabilities and substantial.if you read the supreme court ruling,justice kekere ekun said based on preponderances of evidences hope proved his which means that he had a multiplicity of strong evidences compared to inec which brought none.

I know you have consistently said that the errors in 6 units is defective and should nullify the rest.it doesn't work like that in the court.pdp and inec must specifically identify or point out those errors and defects in each unit differently.the judges will never do that for them without the defence drawing their attention to it.you must lead evidence in court to prove or disprove as everything in the result sheet is deemed regular.
based on ruling and court ruling,the defence never talked about those errors,they only alleged that the rezultz were forged and gave no further proof to that.

Now in matters concerning polling units,it is Legally sacred and each polling unit is different and independent.what happened in one cannot affect the other in law,you must prove each unit differently and unit by unit at a time.all cannot be generalized.if there are defects in 6,it concerns those six.ihedioha has failed.Please stop disturbing us

Your continued insinuation about me knowing Ihedioha shows u r incapable of delving into things. All u have to do is check my posts to know that I am no supporter of Ihedioha or PDP. This is the ONLY instance I am on the side of PDP because this is quite simply a horrible judgment that sets dangerous precedent.

I don’t know if it is that u don’t read, I have already spelled all these out to u b4. Let me now number them to make it easier for you to comprehend:

1) ALL ELECTIONS HAVE ERRORS. That’s why you have to keep the bar for removing an incumbent high. Otherwise anyone can come up with electoral errors or connive with INEC or cook up something (as in this case), and no one’s seat would be safe. To replace an incumbent gov with a 4th-place finishing appellant needs to be just about impossible. It needs to be backed by documentary and otherwise evidence, totally above board, beyond reproach, and with multiple layers of authentication.

2) I have already told u that election turn-out rarely exceeds 60%. The fact that all Uzodinma’s units had over 90% turn-outs is enough evidence that the results inauthentic. So your asking that only the 6 units with 100+% be excluded is childish.

3) I have also already told u that courts don’t cherry pick a unit body of evidence. Your asking that only the six units be excluded is evidence of judicial illiteracy.

4) You dishonestly mentioned “Ajasin vs. Omoboriowo” when I issued the challenge below. You hoped I didn’t know the details of that case - that there is hardly any comparison between the two cases.

5) Here is the challenge again.
Don’t even limit it to only Nigeria. Mention any authentic democracy where this has ever happened!
YOU CAN’T!

Mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against all lower courts AND INEC itself in order to immediately replace a sitting governor with a 4th-place finisher - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the 4th-place finisher himself!!
