Yakubu is a national fraud.


We all here when APC won majority states in 2015 election, no inconclusive.

All these inconclusive are nothing but a way Yakubu is given APC second chance.

The court of law needs to start disgracing INEC
Do u know of a law book called
"electoral act", Mr court of law?
Do u know d conditions to be met before one is declared winner and returned elected?
You ppl don't even know d law but will come here and spew rubbish.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has
described the 2019 general elections as an
‘expensive joke’.
Falana, who was a guest on Channels
Television’s Sunrise Daily, urged Nigerians to
organize themselves by going back to the
drawing board if the country stands a chance at
having credible elections.
“This country spent over N250 billion
from public purse on this useless
enterprise apart from what each of the
governors and political party spent,
which is more than 250 billion.
If we want to get out of the crisis of
monumental dimension, we need to go
back to the drawing table, beyond the
two major political parties. Nigerians
must organize because this expensive
joke cannot continue.”
On the issue of reported violence across the
country, Falana believes that no matter the
amount of preaching, electoral violence cannot
end, except there is an effort by the human rights
community and the electoral offences tribunal to
follow through the cases after elections.
“We have close to 40 million illiterate
adults, the majority of them are roaming
the street. In such an environment, you
could preach till the second coming of
Christ, but that will not stop people from
getting involved in electoral offences and
other acts of criminality.

All those who have been caught
disrupting our elections are agents of
politicians. The police and security
agencies have arrested in the last 6
months, over 2000 electoral offenders,
what do we do with them, once the
elections are over, our attention will shift
elsewhere.

An electoral offences tribunal are to take
over these cases like the EFCC or ICPC
and investigate them thoroughly and
charge those who have been indicted,
but the suggestion was rejected.
From the human rights community, we
are trying to partner with the police and
the INEC to ensure that we can assemble
young lawyers to take on the prosecution
of the cases of behalf of INEC.

Otherwise, everyone will go back to
business as usual as soon as possible.”
Falana also suggested that the option of ‘E-
Voting’ would be problematic, citing examples of
its use during the elections of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, and the
Nigeria Bar Association NBA.

“Electronic voting is not the solution with
the state of impunity and recklessness in
the country; it is difficult. The EFCC is
now investigating what we now call ‘E-
Rigging’ in the NBA. The E-Voting
system would be problematic because
our political class is rarely prepared for
credible elections,” he maintained.

Just drastically reduce all the bogus allowances and salaries these elected politicians are currently collecting the killings and rigging during elections will surely reduce.

One of the many wonders of INEC and APC in Kaduna State:

Accredited Voters: 1,428,895
APC: 1,044,710
PDP: 815,168

Total - 1,858,875.

Now, from the above, void votes are not recorded, the votes of the minor parties are not recorded yet, INEC has a super rising figure above the accredited votes after the end of the election.

Buharig only came to steal, to kill and to destroy.

Nothing is more corrupt than rigging of elections and no man is more corrupt than being a rigger. Buharig is too corrupt.
Nigeria is in a sorry State.

E-voting should be adopted, it can be made foo-proof and more importantly it won't cost hundreds of lives just to hold an election.

All sane Nigerians can see the joke organized under Buhari.
It got so worse that soldiers were snatching ballot box on behalf of polticians.
falana in my view is either a coward or hypocrite or both for nor calling a spade a spade. He knows who to blame but lacks the courage hence his measly mouthedness. Buhari is the culprit, he and oshomole are the grand masters of rigging. If soldiers now snatch ballot boxes who will shoot them. Buhari won his election by remote control like osun

Hatred coupled with illiteracy is the problem of you igbos. You only read headlines without knowing what the body of a news article contains.

He only adviced atiku not to go to the tribunal because he would never get justice. The process is practically impossible. He even said it today on the same programme.

You are just a fool. He blamed the political class for their desperation. The guys in military uniform are fake soldiers. Thugs wearing uniform to snatch ballot boxes. You are a dunce if you think any politician from both parties played by the rules.

Yeah the elections were really poor. As bad as the OBJ days but costing many times more in cash and lives. The government has clearly failed on this one.

Skepticus:
cool

Falana just mentioned 40 million illiterates?

He forgot to mention the 80 million more EDUCATED AND CIVILIZED illiterate adults who have constitute more danger by using their education and knowledge to embolden and justify the evil characters that have been ruling us.

Seunmsg is one of such educated, civilised illiterate adult. Can you believe that the so-called educated person was praising thug-cum-murderer oluomo for releasing threat messages against the opposition Party?

I wonder at the kind of example such a person will give his children. It's abhoring to see him display shameless immorality all in the name of political affiliation.
