This is as a product of Iwu's miracle election I wish this would be true. OBJ in order to ridicule ATIKU disqualified the AC candidate despite court ruling on the election day, the number of void votes( The votes for the AC candidate were counted as void) were more than that of the PDP. Again I ask when would Iwu and OBj be paraded like common criminals they are. next Delta state as the same scenario applied to Uduaghan vs Peter Okocha of the AC So its possible to have justice in Nigeria?? thank God for Yar Adua |

Another feather to PROFESSOR (?) MAURICE IWU's cap . Afterall, he's still boasting that he organised a free and fair election. What a shameless idiot! |

Wonders shall never end. This military men, na for politics they carry head put. I remember Nyarko o. He was notorious for eating the salaries of the members of his fleet back in the days. The devil usually rears its head, but trust Naija and efizi, na plural devils |

Fair Judgement. But Whether they do the election again 100 times , Nyako will stiil win. Bapetel is not fit to compete with Nyako. Fact!! Imagine wat Atiku was saying concerning d judgement. He said the judgement is not fair enough, they should have ordered the immediate swearing in of Bapetel as governor Wawa , he thinks thats Rivers state, were supreme court have to use sentiments to make there ruling. I like What Nyako said. He said it was progress for democracy, since the fault wasn't from him , but from INEC |

@ PK01 I specifically want to reply you on AC's claim that Bapetel should have been sworn in instead of a call for new elections, Bros, sentiments apart, lets analyze this case briefly. 1) The election tribunal ruled that the election should be canceled because Bapetel was excluded illegaly, what does this mean to you? To me, this means that his exclusion never happened according to the law because the exclusion was illegal. At least, one fact at hand is that his name appeared on the ballot papers. 2) Some votes were cast for the AC and Bapetel during the said elections, which was counted as void, if this is to be true then the tribunal's judgement only brings up the obvious that those votes cast for AC and Bapetel are indeed very valid since he was excluded unlawfully. We might refer to the Supreme court ruling on Rotimi Amaechi to understand the import of this. 3) Since the votes cast for Bapetel and the AC is indeed valid, that means a winner should normally emerge from the said election. What is right for the tribunal to do is order a recount of the votes with the votes for Bapetel declared to be valid, and a winner announced 4) Arent you surprised that Nyako and Jubril Aminu immediately supported the judgement and organized a rally claiming they (PDP) would win the elections again. This shows they know Bapetel won in the elections. I'm really happy that the AC would challenge this judgement in court. I have always canvassed the notion that the Supreme court should not only issue declaratory judgements but also punitive ones. It is not true justice when you make pronuoncements such as cancelling an election without punishing those behind the illegal disqualifications. In Adamawa, justice can only be done by declaring a winner for the election since all contestants' names appeared in ballot, such as was Rotimi's case. |
