The Constitution and Tinubu's drug case

Those who framed the NG 1999 constitution seem to like controversy. See two seemingly contrasting laws that both disfavor and favor Tinubu.

If you are a judge, which would you take?

Chapter vi of the 1999 Constitution, Section 13(d) says:

137. (1) A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if -

(d) he is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or tribunal; or

Tinubu was fined 460K by forfeiture, which by the current CJN's own judgment means guilty as charged and conviction.

Please notice the last ''or'' above in section 137 d, as that may be the gamechanger to favor Tinubu

Then Section 137 (e) says

(e) within a period of less than ten years before the date of the election to the office of President he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the Code of Conduct.

But then there is still this one in Section 137 (j):

(j) he has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Did Obi pursue the issue of forged certificate in addition to others?

Obi also talked about forgery and falsification of documents...

Go through his prayers...
The case will be tough, but at the end, I pray NIGERIA wins

Great! Glad he did. Yes, it's gonna be tough but Obi's multi pronged approach is a masterclass

[quote author=AAEEI post=122130944][/quote]

For me, the interest of NIGERIA is my concern. Whoever wins, we congratulate him. But at the end, Nigerians Should be the biggest Winners

This is my prayer.
In any case, Obi has a solid case, sentiment apart. Take your time to go through the prayers

Una still dey denial stage of your grief......May God help you arrive at Acceptance sooner than later

Obi covered all bases. . . .
That falls under 'tinubu should be disqualified' for fraud.

Forgery=fraud.

I cannot be a judge because I am extremely biased.
I will pick his ugly, black aszze and throw it inside the bottomless pit of the Eko Atlantic where it belongs.

Some of the prayers of Mr Obi to me would have been tabled before the elections, I was told some might be trashed. especially the one that has to do with disqulification of Tinubu´s vice, for been a senator at as when the elections where held.

Obi petition didn't raise any issue of forgery. I have gone through it. You can point out the page that it was raised though.

Issue raised:
Drug to tinubu
Shettima double nomination
Inec noncompliance
False result declarations

The difference between subsection D and E is that D does not require a conviction . You can be fined or agree to a forfeiture without being convicted .

Subsection E explicitly requires a conviction so that’s not even applicable in this case as Tinubu was not convicted

Thus, Bayo Onanuga was just being mischievous by trying to raise subsection E as a defence for Tinubu’s. It’s not even applicable. He’s a political rascal tho so a normal behaviour.
