NOETHNICITY:
You are a real daft sha

your papa, abi?

StOla:
See mandate thief.

Even if all Rivers votes, all Lagos votes, and all Plateau votes are given to Obi, he would still lose to Tinubu who would still score the highest votes.

The agonizing part is that Obi would still be stuck on 15 states and FCT.

Obi should try harder in his next life.

Lienus!🤥.

We know APCInec massively rigged the election on behalf of Ahmed Tinubu. I can tell you that Tinubu definitely did not win some states allocated to him by the people whose consciences he purchased. When the numbers are adjudicated and adjusted by the court, Nigerians will get a clear picture of what really happened on February 25. Meanwhile, let's work with Inec's abracadabra declaration.

Inec fraudulently declared:

Ahmed Tinubu, 12 states won, no 25% in the FCT
Atiku Abubakar, 12 states won, no 25% in the FCT
Peter Obi, 12 states won, 25% in the FCT

Rivers state flips to its rightful winner, Peter Obi:

Ahmed Tinubu, 11 states won, no 25% in the FCT
Atiku Abubakar, 12 states won, no 25% in the FCT
Peter Obi, 13 states won, 25% in the FCT

Now tell me, who won the election?. Anyone who correctly interprets the foregoing instantly understands why APC is still campaigning after an election they supposedly won.

Question to Seun:

Why can Muslims partake in discussions of the Christian fate without affirming that Jesus Christ is the son of God, but a Christian must swear to the prophet Muhammad (SAW) being a prophet of Allah beforehand?.

Please clarify this disparity, or correct it.

Sometimes I am tempted to pity Ibos other times I just enjoy the show of hope in hopelessness as displayed from the days of Ojuckwu now to the Ipob headless mob

According to report, before Tafa Balewa was murdered he layed a powerful curse and I think it has continued manifesting Politically

I think what you should be concerned with, and indeed every Nigerian, is whether the information provided is true or false. If it checks true, then Nigeria and Nigerians are in bigger trouble than hitherto assumed.

Prosecuting or defending an infraction strictly from the lens of tribe or party affiliation makes you a bigoted person.

ShaqFu:
What a shame. I now believe many of the men in our Police Force don't learn, despite all the evidence abound how many of their colleagues have been dismissed for doing stupid things like this, this bunch of low budget scoundrel still went ahead and started misbehaving.

It's good they've been caught. They should face disciplinary action and when found guilty, they should be dismissed.

The less idiots we have in our Police, the more they're be able to do their job diligently with professionalism.

And jailed.

Ireportlive:




Abuja is not an indegeneous settlement or state the settlement in Abuja are mostly satellite towns of the Gbagi people

Abuja became a booming city with settlers moving in 30 years ago

Babangida and his cronies allocated Abuja lands only to their cronies, and only their goons got Abuja civil service jobs

Abacha , Abdulsalam and Obasanjo all allocated lands , jobs and resources only to their friends and loyalist.

So Abuja is Traditionally a Military/ PDP populated state

How will Tinubu win in Asokoro, where most houses and mansion are owned by PDP loyalist


.

I've said that most of you are senseless. If the same PDP you claimed inhabits most of Abuja, how come they also failed to make the 25% mark?. Nigerians don't trust Tinubu and it is evident.

pquaver:
Is it that obidients dont read or is that you people read and dont understand? When i quoted the condition of section 299 of constitution, have u bothered to look at it or u read it and didn't understand let me help again..

Once again i have helped u to make it clearer, with the image below. if u dont undertsand it after now, my brother leave English and education is not your calling go and continue with petty trading.. Sorry i dont mean. It as insult but just that this area of undyou dont have it, if you dont get it after this last message to you.. It is better to let u live in your own world

The problem with you defenders of rubbish is that you lack self-respect, much like the common thief and drug dealer you waste your useless lives defending.

As I told one of you earlier, I've stopped wasting my time talking to illiterates, and you definitely fall in that category. Bye.

Britishpea:
That part I bolded doesn’t show that you are educated up to college of education.

Convergence So ABJ has convergence but Lagos doesn’t have it? Are you connecting your sense to your finger at all?

It is only confusion that’s making you people drool over the FCT. FCT was added because it is part of the confederation. So how do you people want the writer to add FCT without using the word AND? Or FCT should have been left out of the equation since it is not a state. People who said winning FCT separately is a must are only showing their crass. Abuja is taken as the 37th state. All votes in Nigeria are equal says the electoral law.

If you want to talk about the country, you would say we have 36 states in Nigeria AND FCT. Or would u rather say 37 states.

I've stopped wasting my time talking to illiterates, and you definitely fall in that category. Bye.

aswani:
Let's assume you are right, what happens next? Tinubu and Atiku have a run off. How exactly does that benefit The Labour Party?

Or we have fresh elections, where would Obi pick up votes from? If anything, going by the gubernatorial elections, he will lose his share of the votes.

I really don't see how this 25% in FCT argument can benefit LP.

We both cannot preempt the outcome of a process which is in court. However, if you read LP's brief, Labour party asked for outright disqualification of declared winner because in their opinion, the joint ticket is faulty on the account of Shettima retaining a senatorial Ticket and Tinubu's morality burden.

How the morality question is helped is

or disqualified in the constitution depends on the accepted interpretation of the relevant collection(s) of the constitution.

Now, there is the issue of votes reduction and appointment by the electoral umpire in sharp disagreement with party agents records at the pooling units and BIVAS records.

And the 25% matter.

You must agree that the ruling party candidate indeed scored 8 million plus votesin this election to believe that he will prevail in a well policed rerun. Let's not talk about what LP and PDP will make of their experiences at the concluded polls. They will work together in a rerun.

That said, Peter Obi handsomely defeated Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos by an astronomical margin. It is clear that was also the case in Rivers bar manipulations and indeed, the manipulations of numbers to achieve this set outcome was nationwide and systemic.

This is what the evidence will show, and the seasoned manipulators are going to do everything possible to stall and obfuscate that process. Fortunately, they were reckless in their rigging and left way too many evidence in their wake.

This broad daylight robbery is what the court must decide. First, whether not having obtained the majority of votes cast as claimed by Inec, and also short of 1/3 of the votes cast in the FCT, Ahmed Tinubu can be said to have won the election?.

If the canvassed relief in this regard can be affirmed, then there'd be no need for a rerun. And in the event of a possible rerun, the votes of the said runner up, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar must be accounted for to determine eligibility.

inforesource:
To be honest with you, I don't know why or the intent of this section of the constitution. But as you have just stated, it may have been the case but for me there is no state in Nigeria you won't find convergence of all tribe. In fact if there's any state that assumes that position it should be Lagos.

I think the FCT is well positioned for the role it was assigned. It is not about population density but symbolism in meaning.

Lagos ceased to be our capital.

pquaver:
Stop putting your own.. That means yoz must also score 25% inLagos, kano, kaduna because in this states you must find all Nigerians.. So it cannot apply to FcT alone..

I have had the privilege of speaking to an aged but learned gentleman who was Instrumental in shaping the constitution we operate today.

It makes sense to accredit the FCT as our unity certifiers. FCT is our capital territory, specifically created for same purpose, has neither a governor nor an assembly of its own, has due representation of Nigeria's people and is central.

In any case, the constitution wants to see 1/3 of the votes cast in this location accrue to the candidate with majority votes cast in a presidential election to be declared a winner. This is the law.

The FCT is our electoral college.

inforesource:
I am very aware of this but the question I am asking or the clarification I am seeking is, what was the intention of the section? Abi this our law makers just like to create unnecessary wahala?

So, I suspect you already know the answer to the question you asked. For clarity, the intention of the framers is to avoid a silo presidency. That means, a candidate, having received a majority of votes cast, must also demonstrably enjoy popularity among Nigerian ethnicities, not only from his tribe or ethnicity.

Where do you find a convergence of every member of Nigeria's ethnic group today, the FCT. The constitution writers intend Nigeria's president to have received 1/4 of the votes cast in our center of unity. Predictably, Tinubu's team knew their party will face difficulty in this location, but they did not anticipate the low level of votes harvest on their behalf.

This is the major reason behind Mahmood Yakubu's hasty 4 am winner declaration while Nigerians slept. APC Governors subjected Yakubu to intense pressure to declare him the winner to forestall the possibility of collation halt through an ex-parte court order later in the day.

garfield1:
I align with you.the apex court has always believed in equality,fairness.all votes are equal,all states are equal.no one is above the other.
Again,late justice obaseki said when the courts are faced with a statute that conveys two meanings,it will go with the one that makes more sense,brooks less controversy,turmoil and absent of absurdity for the intention of the lawmakers are not to create confusion or absurdity.
In summary,commonsensicaly counting fct as part of the spread makes more sense than elevating her above other states

Making your dreams or expectations a fact will not make it so.
But, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We must now wait for those who will decide these matters.

Jogs1900:
Don't be emotional with your submissions.PDP can only contest it if they have agents there.. Are we joking here?So picture is now evidence tenable in the court of law..Where is the certify true copy of those pictures? Whatever INEC presents will be assumed to be the original because it's only them that knows original result sheet ..
Its just like you having your bsc result with you collected from your school ...If your school says it's fake, there's nothing you can do..even with your convocation picture...Inec has the final say here not mere pictures in the court.

Guy, e be like say dem born you for night when thunder dey fire evil people.

What kind of illiterate Lagos-Ibadan expressway logic be dis?.
Inec accredited party Agents across the board, and in most cases, citizens also witnessed vote counts and photographically documented same at the polling stations. Of what significance is the party affiliation of the provider of credible and actionable evidence before the court, so long as it serves the search for the truth and justice?

You see, it is for these reasons we well-meaning people have persistently reminded their lordships that they must not distort this important matter with technicalities. And your jaundiced analysis is not even technical by a long shot.

You cannot wish that away as inadmissible evidence, especially if they incontrovertibly corroborate known facts or are seen as an accessory towards achieving the same.

Your B.Sc. result analogy does not make sense, and no, Inec does not have the final say either. If they do, there wouldn't have been a need for them to announce a stolen election result at 4:00 am. That announcement was clearly exercised at that time to forestall the possibility of an ex-parte court injunction against their criminality in the morning.

The election result is a hoax, therefore must be challenged.

No facts. Just speculation. Stupid speculation too. At least Abiola had businesses that could be seen and he used to do a lot of government contracts. It’s only fitting that these failed international figures pin something on a Nigerian who is wealthy.

This is because they believe true wealth should not be the right of an African and they begin to begrudge such. To the extent that they spread rumors to hang the person. Especially if the person is preaching in presidential campaigns, strategies that would be in the interest of the country and not a few unseen foreign business men. Let’s hear word.

That’s how they claim all sorts on idi Amin dada’s head. Abiola has been honored. Shame to bad people and speculators. It is good you are all alive to witness it in shame. May you be hunted by your lies till you die!

How old are you?. ITT abi?.

Listen, Alhaji Moshood Kashimawo Abiola was also knee-deep in the drug trade back in the days as lots of people, even military bigwigs and their family members in the late 70s and early 80s. It was explicitly in ascendancy to the US request IBB refused his swearing-in as president. Why was Dele Giwa murdered?. Who was Gloria (is) Okon?.

Tinubu stepped into Abiola's shoes. We'll see what happens.

Look at what tribalism and hate have turned a human being into.

An African proverb says:

It is easy to steal the village drum.
The problem is finding a place where you can beat it in peace.

What is Tinubu afraid of?.
Did he not win and is now the president-elect?.
No, wait, is he seeing a rerun, withdrawal of his fake certificate of return?, President peter Gregory Obi?.

Definitely one of these. Surely.

FreeStuffsNG:
They own their land longer than Nigeria owned it so they are the first contact point before the LG, State govt and last is FG. This is why I think only a naive person believes he can get into another people's ancestral land and begin to carry shoulders.
They can chase you out of their land the moment you start disrespecting them even if they sell land to you. Just respect your host as a guest on their land.

Stocking the ember of tribalism and hate between 2 prolific southern nationalities, as you lots are now famed for, is a chicken that will eventually come home to roost.

Why Peter Obi was Arrested, Detained and Deported from UK - BBC


https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c3gv0pvqylwo

Where did the article say Arrested and Deported?.

koboko69:
So the constitution is so undemocratic that it will invalidate the votes of the majority and 25% spread in 29 states simply because a candidate did not get 25% in Abuja? That thing Obi g avebu guys to smoke must be really potent. You are on the losing side and accusing zomeone of crying...when its you guys poluting the whole cyber space with undiluted wailings and pipe dream that somehow Obi who came distant 3rd wpuld be president or that Tinubu will not be sworn in.

The constitution is supreme, so Tinubu's criminal energy will not cut it. He must obtain 25 percent of votes cast in FCT, or he cannot be returned as elected.

Na dere una go know say na all of us get this country.

koboko69:
This Abuja nonsense is really making you guys look more like fools. Lol.
How does it even sound democratic to u, that you must get 25% in Abuja like they have 2 heads or are somehow special than the other 36 states. Wake up and stop letting this poeple fool you and keep playing on your emotions.

Nigeria has a constitution. We must administrate her with that constitution and not the juvenile, emotional rants and cries of Tinubu's cry babies.

In the year 1984, Muhammadu Buhari executed Bartholomew Azubuike Owoh, 26, a former employee of the Nigeria Airways (Osuofia's younger brother), Lawal Akanni Ojuolape, 30, a spare parts dealer, and Bernard Ogedengbe, 29, a sailor for Cocaine possession.

In the year 2023, Muhammadu Buhari is conspiring to hand over government to a man convicted of a worse offense, heroin trafficking and who publicly said he does not believe in our union as Nigerians.

Has Nigeria moved forward or is she sliding backwards?.

Good Morning dear Nairalanders.

Please meet conjoined twins Peter-Rufai Obi Oseni.



Rufai Oseni was Seen Dancing inside Arise Studio after INEC Announced Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential Elections in Lagos State.

Here is a journalist that is supposed to be Neutral by his ethics and code of Conduct but we all know that his affinity belongs with the Labor Party as Peter Obi always greases their palms at the Arise studios in Lagos any time he goes on their platform to spew his dubious statistics.

For Professionalism Sake, Arise Tv would eventually have to let go of Rufai Oseni.

Even tho we know Reuben Abati and the other Ojy Girl that is always smiling like someone her clitoris is being fuddled with are all on the same page with Rufai but they are a lot more matured about their own as Rufai makes his own just too obvious.


From a Business Perspective, People should not tell you they are boycotting your channel because of your staff rufai..

I Know for a fact Arise Tv would eventually have to sack Rufai.. its just a matter of when and not if.

Nduka will sack Rufai when Tinubu sacks that mendacious, black, fat toad Jide at TVC.

FreeStuffsNG:
How is not suing Atiku and PDP pre election matter? How is the absence of Mr Obi's name on the register as at the deadline pre-election matter? Even if there is a waiver , it must be submitted even before the primaries and acknowledged by INEC and accompany his petition but Mr Obi resigned from PDP on May 27, joined LP on May 28 and primary held on May 30 while he was not yet a member of LP.

It is the legality of his membership and participation which he is using to file a petition so if he has no locus standi the courts have no basis wasting its time!

The APC willfullly waited till now after the election so that Mr Obi can cancel Alhaji Atiku of PDP and Obi did the job for APC. Now it is time to legally dispense with Obi for doing a thankless job of destroying PDP.

Your submissions usually lack logic. According to you, "Mr Obi resigned from PDP on May 27, joined LP on May 28 and primary held on May 30 while he was not yet a member of LP".

Assuming but not conceding that your narration is correct, where in our constitution did it prescribe membership tenure before a candidate becomes eligible to take part in a primary election?. What section and subsection?. If anything, these determinations are the prerogatives of political parties. And, the word "shall" is not exclusive.

It is daily becoming clearer that the defenders of Tinubu's electoral heist are more quantity than quality.
