Dansuqi:

You are not getting it.hope has the highest votes but may not have the spread while ihedioha has the spread but not the highest votes which means a rerun according to fergie.

For me,in several parts of orlu hope met the spread and removing nwosu's votes widens his spread plus his near 213,000 votes which may even reduce ihedioha spread

Dansuqi:

Oya buy me beer

mushystuff:
I wonder though whether Falana averted his mind to the fact that after the conclusion of a case there is a right of appeal which must be exercised within a certain timeframe if parties wish to and after which the principle of effluxion of time comes into play.

A pre-election matter doesn't suddenly become a post-election matter just because an election has taken place when the appellant party still has a cause of action and has not run out of time to file an appeal. The law does not say that the court of appeal is the court of final judgement rather it is the Supreme court on pre-election issues.

The mere conduct of an election does not override the right of appeal of any party.

Dansuqi:

Falana is the best human rights or masses oriented lawyer around

Agboriotejoye:

What I am saying is if the SC sees that ihedioha meets the spread, all they have to do is look for some technicality and vacate their earlier judgement about the 388 PUs. With that, since nwosu is disqualified, ararume is second and the margin will be more than registered voters in the 388 PUs which paves the way for ihedioha to be declared winner!!

Dansuqi:

It will be easier and better for them if hope remains or the call for a rerun.it is in the realm of pdp to look for technicalities and calculate the spread not the judges.

Fasindo:

If he won Showore's case and you said he "manage" go and study law let see if you'll even pass law school.










Mtchew!!!


Falana should focus on how to win El Zakyzaky case that he abandoned nd leave bayelsa election matter, he is not vast in law more than d 5 supreme court justices that delivered the case.

Just because he manage to win Sowore case he now thinks he is more vast than anybody in law

fergie001:

The SC has more work to do than it envisaged esp in this Imo case. They have to start determining LGA by LGA votes...and accredited votes etc....Not going to be funny at all.

Dansuqi:

This is not a re-litigation but a simple review,to relook at all the issues.it is not a trial or an inquisitorial panel.it behoves on pdp to present and simplify everything to the judges and am afraid agabi is not up to that task

Agboriotejoye:

Well PDP have calculated the spread and argue that Hope does not have the required spread. Hope looks hopeless in dis matter.

fergie001:

Kanu Agabi.....you make me laugh

Alright o

Agboriotejoye:

Well PDP have calculated the spread and argue that Hope does not have the required spread. Hope looks hopeless in dis matter.

Dansuqi:

Can you cite his legal antecedents in electoral cases

fergie001:

You post those things better than I do.

Dansuqi:

Where is the lga by lga tabulation

fergie001:

Hope called for a re-run.......he insisted on it.

So let the SC decide how to go from there. The SC ought to have asked INEC to review on geographical spread same way Eko posited, and give the CoR to the next party that covers geographical spread....they didn't; and the CJN was on that panel?

Dansuqi:

Apart from saraki's case which is political,he has won nothing else of note

fergie001:

The onus falls on the SC to tell us. Since they said Hope won.
If they had said give to the party with geographical spread, it will then be inec's problem

Let Kekere-Ekun, Ngwuta and the CJN tell us the geographical spread.

fergie001:

I will leave it at that..........like I said he is above my pay grade....and he is sure one of the best hands alongside Ikpeazu Wole Usman Fagbemi and co....at least you didn't deny you know him.

Dansuqi:

Hope called for a rerun in the alternative not in the main.inec lost the chance to review the spread after declaration.it is now for the courts

Dansuqi:

He's a pdp member mostly involved in non electoral cases

Dansuqi:

That is why i said a rerun will suffice which is academic.but in hope's result,he claimed that he got the highest votes and spread so the court acted on that basis

fergie001:

Hope called for a re-run.......he insisted on it.

So let the SC decide how to go from there. The SC ought to have asked INEC to review on geographical spread same way Eko posited, and give the CoR to the next party that covers geographical spread....they didn't; and the CJN was on that panel?

fergie001:

Is it different from what I said? Na waoh...
I said that earlier that the SC should tell us the spread they justified in giving Hope the victory.

By their judgement, Hope scored highest....but did he meet the spread?

Let them tabulate the 18 LGAs he made 25%.

fergie001:

And did they get the spread-part right, assuming Hope scored highest!?

Agboriotejoye:

Hope called for a rerun when... Yeah they should have but since they did not, they have opened a very legitimate ground for review which that of bayelsa does not have in my view.

Dansuqi:

Where is the lga by lga tabulation

Dansuqi:

Hope is very smart.i believe he wont prepare a result that will fall short of that

Agboriotejoye:
