Be expecting stay of execution any moment from now.

Its party.
U won't see individuals faces on the ballot, rather party logos

nwakibie3:


Is it political party or name of individual that appears on ballot paper? Oga it's the political party you vote for not individual.

But we know this judgement can never be executed. We're in the third month of 2022 already, and by the time the appeal court might be preparing its judgement, we could be talking about a handover to another elected governor in 2023.

The judgement is what it is- a mere pronouncement. It's only utility I see is it making it alot more difficult for incumbents to change parties at will.

kingphilip:

If you've voted before, you'd notice that it isn't individual's name that's on the ballot but the party's name.

In Nigeria, it is the party not individual.

BeardGangJnr1:
This judge is null and void. in general elections, we vote for individuals not Parties.

That's the small I know... anyone can enlighten me More

potent5:
You don't sound like you want to be enlightened, because you have already concluded that the judgement is null and void.

Anyways, in Nigeria we vote for the party sponsoring a candidate and the victory of a candidate is that of the party sponsoring him. That was why people like Rotimi Amaechi became governor without contesting in the election.

When we vote, do we vote for the party or the individual? I don’t understand

You voted for the individual the party presented....

Well unless so.

But I know that INEC follows court judgement immediately it gets them.

If Umahi doesn't act fast to procure it, he might be out of office in a week's time.

Kobicove:


The individual did not campaign only in his name, he campaigned on the platform of a party and benefited from it's goodwill therefore it is unfair for him to take the mandate elsewhere!

3coins:

Does it even make any sense. This means we are ruled by a party and not a person.

anigbajumo:


Stay of execution will be out in the next 24hrs just wait and see, That judgement will not see the light of the day.

It is assumed that it is the party that sponsors the person to office and not the person sponsoring himself.

Even though most people votes based on the credibility of an individual, you're voting for the party because it is the party presenting the individual.

They should allow the man till next year at least.

u be mumu..
Why e no decamp to the party before election, na when e dn win e go decamp...

Tareq1105:


Even the judgement doesn't have any legal basis and that's an indication that it will be crushed at the Appeal.

There's no section of either the Nigeria constitution or Electoral Act to back the judgement. So it's just an unfounded pronouncement that cannot stand the test of time.

But amaechi did same..so many other governor's and senators are doing it
