CHESSBOARD: The onus is on the aggrieved to proceed to court if they believe they have a case. Those in Rivers and Akwa-Ibom felt they were cheated and are in court. If those in other states choose not to go to court, it's plain silly to blame those that decided to go to court for their decision not to in those states. 3 Likes 1 Share |

TonyeBarcanista: Shut up, electoral acts talked about inec giving electoral procedures and guidelines which are to be followed on election day. Starting from time when registration will start, process of registration, end of registration and voting proper. Inec is empowered to give those Guidelines and she gave it. A polling unit can't just decide to do whatever they feel like doing as against the instructions given by the electoral body. 2 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:You will have to remember that manual accreditation was not allowed for the gubernatorial election unlike what obtained in the Presidential election. The 290k represented both SUCCESSFUL and FAILED accreditation. Even if your accreditation wasn't successful and the incidence form opened for you, the card reader would have captured you and recorded that your accreditation was incomplete and same recorded in INEC database and you would be among those 290k. INEC did not permit accreditation without first going through the machine. The implication of this is that only 290k voters came out and accredited to vote. The total votes should not in anyway be more than the number of people accredited(290k+) 1 Like |

A faulty card reader cannot be a ground for invalidating an election, the court of Appeal in Lagos said yesterday.[size=8pt][/size] The court held that the Electoral Act (2010) as amended does not recognise the malfunctioning of a card reader as one of the factors that can lead to the nullification of an election. This, the appellate court held, is because the Electoral Act predates the introduction of the card reader. The Court of Appeal stated this in a verdict on a cross-appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging parts of the Governorship Election Tribunal’s verdict in the case of Jimi Agbaje versus Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and others. APC filed the cross-appeal on two grounds. In the first ground, it said the tribunal erred in law when, having held that Paragraph 14 of Agbaje’s petition challenged Ambode’s nomination, went ahead to hold that it was a valid ground. The party said any complaint about a pre-election issue falls within the jurisdiction of the Federal or Lagos State High Court, therefore, the tribunal ought to have declined jurisdiction. The party also asked that Agbaje’s petition be struck out because its paragraph 13b which complained about faulty card readers did not qualify as a ground to challenge the April 11 election. The Court of Appeal, in a judgment by Justice Obande Festus Ogbuinya, resolved the first issue in Agbaje and PDP’s favour, and the second issue in APC’s favour. A copy of the judgment, delivered on August 26, was obtained by our correspondent yesterday. Other justices on the panel were A. J. Abdulkadir, Mohammed Danjuma, Emmenuel Agim and Saidu Hussaini. Agbaje, the PDP, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ambode and the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) were the cross-respondents. The appellate court held that both the High Courts and the tribunal have concurrent jurisdiction over the issue of a candidate’s qualification/disqualification. Justice Ogbuinyi held: “The cross-appellant (APC) implored this court to declare the paragraph 14 a pre-election matter cognisable only in the regular courts because it alluded to 21 days notice decreed in Section 85 (1) of the Electoral Act. The cross-appellant made heavy weather of this point. “The paragraph 14 of the petition qualifies as a valid ground for querying the qualification of the fourth cross-respondent (Ambode) to contest the election. “The trial tribunal is the forum competens for the first and second cross-respondents (Agbaje and PDP) to ventilate their grouse on his (Ambode’s) qualification/disqualification. Put simply, the trial tribunal was clothed with jurisdiction over paragraph 14 of the petition. “In the end, I have no option than to resolve issue one against the cross-appellant and in favour of the first and second cross-respondents.” Resolving the second issue in APC’s favour, the appellate court held: “The paragraph (13b) displays a vitriolic attack on the irregularities germinating from the improper or non-use of the smart card readers in the polling units. “As it is, it has no life of its own as a ground. It endeavours to introduce the defects in the use of smart card readers. The evolution of the concept of smart card reader is a familiar one. It came to being during the last general election. On this score, it is a nascent procedure injected into our infant and fledgling electoral system to ensure credible and transparent election. “The extant Electoral Act (2010) which predates the concept (of card reader) is not its parent or progenitor. Since it is not the progeny of the Electoral Act, fronting it as a ground to challenge any election does not have its (the Electoral Act’s) blessing, nay Section 138 (1) of it. “Put simply, a petitioner cannot project the non-presence or improper use of smart card reader as a ground for questioning an election. It does not qualify as one. “On the whole, having resolved the two issues for and against the cross-appellant, the fate of the cross-appeal is obvious. It is partially-meritorious and succeeds in part. Consequently, I allow the cross-appeal in part. “Accordingly, I affirm the portion of the trial tribunal’s decision declaring paragraph 14 of the petition as competent and triable by it. I set aside its part of the decision which approved paragraph 13 (b) as a competent ground for presenting a petition.” The Court of Appeal had upheld the Governorship Election Tribunal’s decision which struck out Agbaje’s petition and upheld Ambode’s victory. |

In your wierdest dream you think that a meagre 290k out of over 2million registered voters came out to vote? I wonder how you guys think. As long as Rivers election was concerned majority were accredited MANUALLY! You Can't deny voters the right to vote because of one failed machine. Are you not aware that card reader only captured 300k voters in Kano but Buhari got 1.9million votes? Pleas I'm not interested in unnecessary argument. Wait 4 the Judges' verdict!

TonyeBarcanista: First of all I take back my initial statement of being called a mo/ron if I respond to ur post because I just have to as a necessity. So because of your above extract you wish to deny documented numerical evidence to the fact that the rivers state gubernatorial election actual voting figures were doctored? In essence what you are saying is that "yes you agree that the election figures were falsified to favor wike but because the election act stands then falsehood should prevail" Indeed you are a man of questionable character. ..people need to pinch their noses when walking past you because your morals stink. #smelobarcanista 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista:There was so much violence and thuggery, that account for the low turnout. Why is it only in SS (Rivers state in particular) that the machine did not work. It worked very fine here on Lagos. I was accredited in less than 30 seconds. About Kano, that was the Presidential election in which manual accreditation was allowed and was even used in the same Rivers state. This tribunal is about the the GUBERNATORIAL election in Rivers State, not the PRESIDENTIAL and manual accreditation was not allowed in this election by INEC. INEC which is the umpire in this election has given us the OFFICIAL accredited figure which is at variance with the results announced, and by that I stand, not on your cooked up and unsubstantiated "manual accreditation (which was not even officially allowed) story. It is because of days like this that INEC put these checks in place. You can delude your fellow wailers (who only love to hear only what is SWEET to their ears) not someone like me. 2 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista: Allow me to help you out Mr Baracuda.... What was d foundation of the lagos state Agbaje case? What was the disparity in the voting figures in lagos state? What was d evidence submitted by Agbajes counsel? When you get those, run them side by side with what is now going on regarding Wike and his notorious works and this tribunal and then SPEAK SOME SENSE TO YOURSELF. A court of appeal can only give a ruling based on a specific case. The scenario in the Lagos electioms in comparison to Rivers is like comparing white to black or better still like calling a banker a bricklayer or a TRUCKPUSHER! This is one fight Wike will never win. IN FACT I AM ALREADY WRITING HIS EPITAPH. Why don't we make this even more interesting barcanista hmm?
