I think the problem with Nigerians is that they use their personal view to judge issues instead of looking at issues objectively.

The truth is that on April 16, Channels tv aired an interview with Buhari where he was asked what he felt about the election; his(Buhari) reply was that there were reports of electoral frauds that he was getting from party member and that if the fraud made GEJ to win, he(Buhari) as a person will not go to court like before but his party(CPC) is free to contest any election results it felt were not justified.

Aside from the above, I don't know if going to court to contest election results is a crime. Afterall, proofs and evidences would be examined to determine the case at hand and whatever the result should be accepted in good faith.

Exponental:

Na 2day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys shld see from wat happened in Lagos dat pple voted for Jonathan not PDP!!!!
Anyway, Lawyers go chop na!!!!!!!

Bensonite:

Tell me what is the sense in the aboved bolded. Do want to argue that Buhari never said he was not going to contest the result. If on the day of the election knowing fully well he was going to lose badly made a slight u-turn to speak on behave of the party that they may go to court if they so wish. You mean you do not know CPC= BUHARI and can not be separated.
Think before posting a counter!

I don't know if u cannot read properly, but if u go back to my comment, I said Bhari said he would not go to court personally but he would not stop the party from going to court. The party is an organisation (a legal entity) while Buhari is a person. Both may go to court, which would mean two ppl joining in he suit.

If u think CPC =Buhari, u need to back to school bcs legally CPC is an entity different from Buhari. An example is the case of the sacked MDs(perceived by many to be the same as the banks) of some banks; ordinary ppl that think like u would say Ibru=Oceanic. USE your HEAD AND THINK.

And what is the big deal if a result is challenged in the court? Is it against the Nigeria constitution to challenge election results in court.

Having followed nairaland's politics closely for 2 months, i've come to d conclusion that the moderators of the section are directly to blame for d abuse that goes on here. Look @ the topic for example, "Buhari's CPC sues Jega, INEC". Why didnt the thread owner just say CPC. It is very inciting! And for all the members of the forum who always blame Buhari for everyone of Nigeria's problem, read the opening post very well. Clearly, it was the party (and not Buhari!) that is suing!
And i'm stil suprised that our govt has successfully convinced (or is it confused) us into believing it was Buhari who caused the post-elections riots in the North. Really? When did buhari become our security officer? Was he the one that caused the myriad of unsolved bombings in the country before n during the elections? No single person has been prosecuted for this. In my opinion(i may be wrong), our failure to arrest, prosecute and punish the perpetrators of these bombings only gave the demons in the North power to believe they could do whatever they liked and get away with it. And Buhari's loss at the elections only gave then an opportunity to carry out the barbaric act. I think we should stop making excuses for our public servants. My president (and therefore my chief security officer) is Goodluck, not Buhari. It's him I will hold responsible for my safety.

You were absolutely correct when you said the CPC as a registered organization is a legal entity seperate from Buhari that can sue and be sued and also the fact that Buhari has the constitutional right to contest the elections in the court of law if not satisfied. Fine, point noted . . . but we should not dispute the fact that the CPC is going to court to fight in favour of Buhari perceived stolen mandate and the CPC is representing Buhari in the court of law. so can't we conveniently say that Buhari reneged on his earlier promise not to contest his mandate if he loses.  Well he is free to go to the tribunal if he feels aggrieved by the results while we will all wish him GOODLUCK in his quest  . 

Bensonite:

You are the greatest fool on earth since you cannot read properly. On my post I stated the issue of party contesting the result was made on the day of the election when he knew the tide was against him. Big fool you are for your analogy of Ibru=Oceanic as their is no link with the subject matter. CPC will die a natural death after they lose in the court. Those few who won on that platform will need to get to other party as CPC=VIOLENCE.

Opposition wins , they claim it is victory for democracy. Opposition loses , they claim it was rigged . . The Nigerian politicking story so far

Abagworo:

I have never seen people celebrate in any State won by PDP apart from Enugu.Look at the joy and parties all over Imo tonight.That tells you more than imagination that Nigerians desire change.

Odunnu:

You are the true definition of 'HATER'.
Where do you get your info and statistics from? So, you expected GEJ to take a trip round the world as  a re elected president or you wanted him to die on the job because he's re-elected? Na wa to you o!

Abagworo:

Every sane person knows that the elections were rigged.I am happy that Imo people were able to defend their votes.Now bleep all y'all.

The turnout in SS was 30%.That I am very certain of.

Meanwhile, I suggest we call on GEJ and his team to give us all they promised during the campaign, and much more. This include protection of lives and properties and not blaming others for formenting problem. We will no longer be swayed by the pitiable story of "growing up without shoes" and the likes.
