Section 187
“(1) In any election to which the foregoing provisions of this part of this Chapter relate, a candidate for the office of Governor of a State shall not be deemed to have been validly nominated for such office unless he nominates another candidate as his associate for his running for the office of Governor, who is to occupy the office of Deputy Governor; and that candidate shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of Deputy Governor if the candidate who nominated him is duly elected as Governor in accordance with the said provisions.

(2) The provisions of this Part of this Chapter relating to qualification for election, tenure of office, disqualifications, declaration of assets and liabilities and Oath of Governor shall apply in relation to the office of Deputy Governor as if references to Governor were references to Deputy Governor

The case didn't come as a civil case.

The one against Lawrence came as a civil case.

I know where his pendulum always swing.
This Bayelsa case made him a bit transigent though.

I remember him opening a thread why Diri won't be sworn in a day before, but that is his opinion...we must not agree on everything.

Will tag him next time, but kahal hasn't said a word on Bayelsa surprisingly.

Because this his statement doesn't favour ur friends











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

What does the law states in a pre election matter where someone is disqualified? Please quote the statue directly
which section of the law? you should quote it here to argue your case.

there is no electoral law or legal precedent that said supreme Court should order for a rerun in an election that was never in dispute because one candidate is not qualified.

File another case then....
Pdp didn't.

That's why Adah of the CoA ruled against them for. That the case should have come as a civil or criminal case.

The PDP didn't ask for that. If you are not satisfied, you can also file a criminal case against him.

I have told him severally,
The SC has no power to nullify an election or rule for a re-run unless it has originated from a lower court.

You are missing the point.after disqualifying apc,does the law says you conduct fresh elections or swear in the runner up?

But all cases must originate from lower court.if they dont have powers to call for a fresh elections,then they do not also have power to declare a winner.its legally safer and better to order a rerun and allow the electorate choose

in those cases the election was in dispute; what the court did was 1. cancel an election that is faulty 2. disqualified candidate that were not properly nominated or qualified.

but in the case of bayelsa, only APC candidacy was in dispute; what Court did was disqualified a candidate that is not qualified

Following SC precedents, you swear in the runner up who participated in all stages of the election.

they did not declare a winner. they only removed a candidate that was not qualified and ask inec to declare a winner (the candidate that meet necessary legal requirements?

In the lower court, was the nullification or re-run of the election a subject matter?

Just like atiku's lawyers,you are making my case for me.the bolded is the same thing.disqualify and order a fresh elections and exclude apc.no law states that the 1st runner up is sworn in.why are you scared of a rerun

[quote author=Dansuqi post=86885470][/quote] the law did not say you should cancel an election that is not in dispute. the election was not in trial, there was no court judgement stopping inec from going ahead with the election. APC did not say the election was faulty
