Is Osun election federal election?

Why are there so many half baked lots in the opposition's camp?

It is official your brain is filled with air based on this your response.

Why not use 1963 constitution or even 1956 they all gave birth to 1999....olodo una go dey defend every stupid thing with more stupid reason

Hollygrail:
Osun State case is at the state level and not Federal. Also, 1979 constitution amendment birth 1999 constitution and there have several amendments and reforms since then. So, I can tell you that Mr. Olanipekun is right for stating the 1979 constitution. It's allowed.

MRMRMR:

U guys thrive on hearsay and propaganda.
Take time to read the 40 page response before saying he didn't mention osun case.
The response was brilliant. Infact, it is a TKO

A TKO that will be used to knock out that trash of a response

Spy360:

The issue is not that he cited 1979, but that he totally ignored 2023 case.

I believe the issue is you recommending a case that should be sited to back the case to prove INEC right. Isnt that a trap?

chatinent:
It’s actually a smart move. Wole is not a charge and bail lawyer! He actually allows you to make his win very easy!

Let's think it. When he does use outdated case laws, he’ll be reminded, maybe by the other counsel that the 1979 constitution was already amended and he should introduce recent cases similar...just like you are asking. To the other counsel, he made a point. Which other recent case would all fingers point to? It is the Adeleke vs Oyetola to be used as precedent!


Now here is where the politics take place… and what you don't know. Actually, the Adeleke vs Oyetola was created for this case. So Wole let you decide for them to use it. And since you gave them the option, they introduce it as tho standing on the recent protocol you suggested.

Guess what? Since you want to feel more recent with cases, the case will be closed and they will win. If you suggested a recent case, and that case is introduced, you WILL lose the case! You just gave them their evidence!

Why did you think the APC let Adeleke win the case based on INEC glitches?

Oh you felt it was a just judgement? And that the APC will just let go sth as big as the governorship? A sitting party? Lol.


It’s so that it will serves as a premise to dismiss the future plan…. this case.

It's was an organised case law.

Let's check:

The APC-led administration has been subject to criticism due to the economic challenges experienced during their tenures. True.

However, it is noteworthy that they have demonstrated adeptness in engaging in strategic political maneuvers, leveraging their party networks, and creating an illusion of popular participation in decision-making processes. Meanwhile, it is all a mirage in achieving the goal!

Even the Naira design was a plan to make other parties feel there was disunity within the party and they loss guard and failed to plan.

Obi too was banking on popular participation and pity politics. He should have added some backup dark politics too. Oh don't criticize me, politics was always darker.

Check the APC's darker politics. Call it politics 101.

During the past electoral process, a strategy is employed wherein a divisive narrative is constructed, leading to the formation of factions and subsequent tribal conflict....the Igbo-Yoruba tribal war, the Wike-pdp war, and the Kwankwaso assisting to reduce the northern votes.

During the period of tribal conflict between the Yorubas and Igbos, the candidate affiliated with the LP experienced an unexpected defeat in a situation where they were initially considered to have a significant likelihood of emerging victorious.

Check!

Consider the reasons behind the cessation of the overheated tribal conflict subsequent to the victory! The Yorubas were convinced by the APC...the sitting government... that an individual (Lagos indigene) was of mixed heritage and was not considered a genuine Yoruba and instead was associated with the Igbo agenda. I mean, like how did you guys believe that unintelligible tact! So poor!

A significant number of individuals were deceived or say convinced that truly it was Igbos trying to take Lagos...so they fought back, resulting in the government reverting back to its previous state. Lol. The game was the focal point for the APC and they got it.


During elections, we are not Nigerians, we name our states first!

Let's continue...

The LP also was winning the presidential election. They employed the use of commotion in the LP strongholds, and when they saw it wasn't really working cos they were winning Lagos, Aduja, Jos etc, their plan-B was the last hope... EyeNeck !

It was also necessary to adjust the LP's score to the third position to have a better legal case in case.


They banked on the corrupt system. Why? "NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.". That's Nigeria for you! Nothing always not happen to the rich in Nigeria!

Also, don't you forget that the British never stopped colonising Nigeria. They only relocated to their country. It's cost-effective and easier to control pawns from a distance! Like no one will know it's neo-colonialism!


And guess what? The British always supports their pawns!


You see? Democracy isn't never of the people and by the people or for the people. It is actually want the govt wants and the people sees from far. In reality, the majority decisions do not always count!

All the politicking you talked about is true - only the mentally blind does not already know all those. I've always told people that the Osun case was created for the Presidential election for precidence and the Naira swap war between Buhari and Tinubu was a hoax. But come to think of it, all the politicking failed even as INEC delivered on their part - there are issues with constitutional requirements that INEC doesn't have control over the whole thing now doesn't depend solely on INEC.

INEC made Tinubu president for sure, but that Tinubu retains that seat now rest on how much Tinubu is able to hijack the judiciary. If the judges are as loyal as Mahmoud, Tinubu will retain that seat no matter the wealth of evidence that will be presented to them

seunmsg:


In reality, this Peter Obi’s case has exposed how empty you are. You’ve never posted any reasonable opinion other than rehashing the same nonsense the headless mob are sharing.

Your brain is filled with saw dust

Penguin2:


How pathetic of you to claim that Obi never tendered any form EC8A in court. It’s becoming obvious everyday that you guys speak from a place of ignorance.

Just to clarify you, Obi presented forms INEC certified EC8A for about 28 states, he also presented BVAS accreditation report for those states and more.

You people never followed the court proceedings but you sit in your rooms to conjecture up and believe nonsense.

You see how irritated you are because his line of argument came from a place of ignorance or pure prejudice? That’s exactly the case when superior logic stares you at the face but you choose to stick to your belief because it balloons your sentiment.

This court case is an academic exercise, the outcome is apparent enough for the petitioners to start strategizing for 2027

fergie001:

So the Constitution likened Abuja to a State for administrative purposes, then for election purposes, it likened Abuja above a State?

Right?

If you understand the constitution providing that a candidate must score 25% in the FCT to win presidential election as FCT being placed above a state, then I’m not responsible for you choosing to make such cognition of it.

But how would the seat of power of the president be lower than a state?

And was it impossible for the framers of the 1999 constitution to simply call Abuja a state and just make it the 37th state of the Federation? Why take the extra pain of having to refer to 36 states AND the FCT throughout the constitution if it was not intended for FCT to have a special status?

Yeah he is a SAN and has done this countless times and also authoritatively said that once your international passport expires your your citizenship ends too... SAN indeed

Lol. D way una dey write rubbish full everywia sef. One u nobi lawyer, not even charge & bail. Now u think u know more dan a SAn dat have gone tru dis PEPT like 3 times. With oda top high cases. Tomorrow now, if d court rules in his favour now. U start singing about how d Judges are all corrupt.

DaddyCoool:
This case is NOT about what is the law. It is about who are the judges. ALL these judges were appointed by APC and can be retired by Tinubu who also has the power to appoint them - and have whoever he appoints swiftly confirmed by the APC senate.
Bottom line, this is a kangaroo trial

You think it's that easy for the so called APC-appointed judges to give favourable ruling to the APC just like that?

For your information, the whole world is watching the judiciary right now.

Reading through the written address of Tinubu and Shettima lawyers at the ongoing election petition tribunal led by supposed respected senior lawyer Wole Olanipekun, one can’t help but giggle at the hollowness and shallowness of their defense.

In the address, Mr Olanipekun was busy citing the case of Shagari vs Awolowo that happened as far back as 1979 under the 1979 Constitution and in election conducted by FEDECO, as our electoral commission was called then.

Since 1979, we’ve have had many reformations to our electoral laws and have even changed our constitution.

If anything, the most relevant case as far as election cases are concerned in Nigeria today, is the Supreme Court ruling in Osun in case of Oyetola vs Adeleke. This case is the most relevant because it is the only Supreme Court decision since the Electoral Act 2022 came into force.

Ironically, Mr Olanipekun surreptitiously ignored the Osun case which has a lot of similarities with the case at PEPT as they both bother on the place of technology in our election and to what degree INEC can choose to apply or ignore technology in our elections.

It is pertinent to state these things for the world to hear, read and see, so that we all keep an eye on the judiciary and see what comes out it.

Remember that it is not enough to do justice, justice must also be seen to have been done.

You have not said anything

iswr... Some people jst dey yarn dust.... One werey lawyer even said olanipekun is overrated... I was like haha

Your logic is defective. Nigeria practices the common law system. It means a high court decision at any level that remains unchallenged is valid law in itself.

If you were killed in a village the killers punishment won't be any different from a killer in Lagos or Abuja. The same logic follows in the right to representation and to represent.

I wonder when these Obidients will realise that an electoral coup took place on the day of the presidential election! The cuopists are already in power,it will take a world power or a significantly strong local power to dislodge them! It is the long suffering masses of Yorubaland I pity! Look at Lagos after nearly 25 years of Tinubu political hegemony,tell me what magic he is going to perform in a more complex federal scene! I wish Tinubu ;uck,cos he is gonna need it! my own let him restructure the federation....like he advocated under NADECO!

walex2:
You are one of the intelligent guy in this forum, sometimes I just feel like puking reading some comment here online, no wonder their emperor was a third class graduate, when they mention Osun case they quickly forget that by that judgement the precedent will follow the supreme court judgement, I do ask them that APC lawyers were too wise, they deliberately made a resolution that none of the legal team must address the press. When they talk about FCT votes we always tell them that constitution will never make Abuja votes more superior than Abia or Kano votes. Whenever they talk about drug Case I always remember them that thesame Tinubu have been a senator and two term Governor. If Obasanjo and Jonathan could not remove Tinubu when he was in opposition it must be fooly of you to think that TINUBU will be sacked as a sitting president. What Moronic obi supporters we have here

You are really high on dried cow dung.

Just wait till someone in your generation gets to Olanipekun’s level

Same Oluwole graduate, Wole Olanipekun won Buhari's case in 2019 for him. Your so-called Livy Uzoukwu (who's Obi's lead counsel today) represented Atiku then and Olanipekun took him to the cleaners with his legal prowess.

I know you're too young to know this but Google is there for you to confirm.

Stop saying what you don't know, Ben Nwabueze is not same person as Livy Uzoukwu

Enice:
they have no precedence. They cannot quote anything. They will just be rigmaroling about without making any sense. How does a SAN go to court to defend IREV when form EC8A is available? I will like to see the way they will twist and turn their way out of the snake Oga Wole has set on their part.

Your brain is filled with loi loi

garfield1:


Abuja was never meant to be a state.the military never made it a state.the drafters of the constitution don't have the powers to make it a state so they did the best they can,that is to treat it as a state though it is less than a state.abuja is like a slave treated as freeborn

Again, do you realize that when the drafters of the 1999 constitution were working, it was presumed that Nigeria had no law and they were to give her laws?

What I’m saying is that if they wanted to make Abuja a state, they had the powers to do it and a simple Abdulsalami Abubakar’s signature would have brought it to fruition.

But they rather chose to act with the report of the committee on FCT which recommended that the territory be given a special status.

seunmsg:
Penguin2 and the other headless Peter Obi mob want to teach Tinubu’s lawyer how to defend his client and I’m not even making this up 🤣🤣🤣.

Like, how can people be this senseless? You’re supporting the petitioner but you’re trying to teach the respondent which case to quote and which one not to quote. What exactly is your business with how the respondent go about defending their case?

When you see the headless mob crying ceaselessly over a matter, just know they got hit big time. This is the third day of crying over Wole Olanipekun’s final address to the court. They are not even interested in talking about the final address of Peter Obi’s legal team because it’s as watery as the case they presented.

Those supporting Tinubu are happy with the excellent job Wole Olanipekun is doing. His final address to the court shredded every single issue raised in Peter Obi’s watery petition. The robustness of the defense is why the legal team confidently released the final address to the media even before adopting it in court. If them born Peter Obi legal team well, let them release their final address to the media like Wole Olanipekun has done.

😞I used to think you were very smart. But that's the embarrassment you endure for defending the indefensible.

Incase you don't know there are timelines allotted for all parties. PO's legal team has 7days to send their address (in response to that of Tinubu).

See, there is nothing to argue about this FCT thing. Section 299 has clarified the legal status of FCT and that’s it. Supreme Court have ruled severally along this line so it’s not going to change.

Oga stop twisting narratives haba, how much were you paid to spin this propaganda. Section 299 relates to the administration of FCT and not for electoral purposes. You guys should fear God and have conscience and shame. Despite all the bullshit going on that APC has subjected us to, you still have the mind to still support this nonsense. You guys are taking Nigerians for fools until one day when people have reached their limits, they will catch you on the road and stone you guys.

Lagos as FCT was geographically and administratively different from Lagos state. Shehu Shagari appointed John Jatau Kadiya as minister of FCT while Jakande served as the democratically elected governor of Lagos state. Both existed side by side with clear boundaries until IBB moved FCT to Abuja in 1991 and Lagos FCT was merged with Lagos state to form a bigger Lagos state. Stop trying to muddle up facts when I’m here.

I just confirmed this fact.

Whenever we talk about politics, the race of JAMB RESULTS FORGERS should learn how to keep their mouths shut.

It was the same way he quoted old law during the cross examination of one of the witnesses, that the lead justice has to correct him, that what he quoted is an old law and non-existent. Wole Olanipekun SAN can only win case on technicality ground but not to dwell on real issue.
