Appeal Court Voids Omisore's Election.

This is good for democracy. Atleast, all the lawmakers enjoying stolen mandates are being booted out. Good for democracy.

I hope the guy will refund all the allowances he has gotten over the years. OLE-ARMED ROBBER

 

I'm happy that Maurice Iwu's useless "election" is being challenged successfully, but of what use is ordering another election with the same as the umpire? What will they do differently this time around? Omisore will still win the election again having accumulated so much money at the National Assembly while the poor opponent might need a fund raising camping to run for the election.

A topic,
Even if he contest and wins again(I pray not), the mere fact their larger than life image is being dismantled all over the place gives cause for cheer. Now we know their cheating and perfidy just will not stand any true democratic test. Big up for the Judiciary!

God catch am.

The truth is Rotimi Makinde (a Yoruba movie Actor)- the AC candidate can't match Omisore in any way. I knew they both rigged in their various ways but the Big rigger won and that led to the violence between supporters of the two parties. I have friend's who worked for both candidates. But still, it's victory for democracy.

since 2007. wat a dog nation

why nullifying the election when he will still win the re-run.,perhaps he is a big shot in the party & chairman senate committee on finance,,and he helped segun oni during his re-election,so political help will come his way

i remember:

some mothers do have 'em

@pcicero, Rotimi Makinde was a candidate for the House of Reps, not Senate, Omisore's opponent is a Babajide Omoworare.
Sad part's d dude would get rigged back in so the judgement's got little to cheer about.

While Nigeria is just celebrating the conviction of OBJ's boy(olabode george) by a no-nonsense judge.With so much accolade going to the judiciary.The same judiciary in another quarter just sqaundered rule of law by ordering a "RE-RUN":
There was enough evidence to show that there was uninterrupted violence in the Osun state south-east senate election of 2007.
It would have been a landmark and pacesetting judgement if the judge decides to deduct the results of the violent-ridden wards/LG's from the total votes casted.
That would have been a more acceptable and credible decision.It would ave also sent a warning to vote-riggers that thweir days are numbered.

However,Iyiola Omisore enjoyed fat salary,allowances,etc as a (former) senator and such amount no matter how big should be returned to the senate's purse.The judge should have gone further to enforce that.

Re-run as proven to be more violent-ridden than the actual elections.Ekiti,Akoko-Edo,Osun,etc reruns and the emanating violence is still fresh in our memories.

The conviction of Olabode george is NOT MY THOUGHT.Most Nigerians applauds the decision to send him to Kirikiri for mismanaging N84b.Some even profer he should have been given a longer jail term.For a former-president's close associate be sent to prison in Nigeria for stealing is worth commendable.
Our leaders and ruling class steal and gets away with it to the detriment of the poor masses.The wealth meant for the entire nation is being cornered by the mighty few.
If a judge did the right thing by jailing erring leaders,such judge will definitely enjoy the sympathy,applause and recognition of the teeming public.

Na wa Umbrella don tear oo. e no fit hold rain and sunshine again. Alamasei, Uba, Osubor, Agagu, Bode Gerge, Segun Oni (about to be beaten by rain while under the umbrella), Soludo (maybe beaten cos not listed among candidates till now), who's next? May be there will be hurricane in 2011 with the emergence of Mega Party (Which may sweep everybody under the umbrella)

as long as maurice iwu is still in inec, the results of our elections are not gauranteed
