I thought PDP said before election they have 40 million observers scattered all over the country. Now it is 400 they can muster as witnesses. What a shame!

To me Atiku is just wasting his time on this

tuniski:


Were you expecting 176000 witnesses or critical witnesses? Abegi it is not by number but quality of witnesses.

There are more damaging facts against Atiku during last presidential election. Atiku wanted to rig by all means through pre-thumprinted ballot papers, but the security foiled some of his operations.

Atiku should wait and contest for another election
And stop disturbing the peace of nigerians

What if atiku is raising his case where he fail woefully. Don't underestimate the power of any witness against you

Nigerians think just one way, like one way traffic.How do you know the positions of all the 400 witnesses are just at the polling units?. Do you know if some of the witnesses are state RECS?. Do you know if they are local govt electoral officers?. Do you know if they are security agents in strategic positions. Do you know that one Rec testimony can nullify the presidential election in the state superintended?. It is not all about the number of witnesses but the quality of witnesses and evidences at hand like the doctored results in states which pdp claimed that has real results different from the ones announced by INEC.

so 20 SANs doesnt know the requirements for petition. Your case is different

senatordave1:
Another of my prediction is coming to past.so atiku has only 400 witnesses for 176000 voting points? Its over,his case is a waste of time,the courts will strike it out for lack of merit.its a joke.even the videos of rigging wont be more than 1000.he needs to have evidences from at least 50,000 polling units.its over for Atiku....

so 20 SANs doesnt know the requirements
for petition. Your case is different

The Smart Card Readers data log is what can do the magic for Atiku, especially data from state like Borno, Yobe, Bauchi and other northern state. There was no record of vote cancellation in those state due to manual accreditation.

400 witnesses out of how many? Anyway I admire Atiku’s fighting spirit. The plans the man had eh, he can’t let go. These are witnesses that have to prove their cases without any doubt. It’ll be interesting but again Atiku will never be president. No judge will overturn an election that was won with a margin of 3.9m votes. How do they think that candidate’s supporters will react, it’s not even worth it. The positive outcome of this is, it’ll help improve our electoral process

Atiku ti ya were.

That's where the issue is, a witness can only testify about event in a PU(according to SC), the number of witnesses must have a significant effect on the testimony, 400+ is insignificant in about population size of 170000+, that is less than 5%, SC will not cancel such election even if rigging is clearly proven.


This is where me and you usually get into a squabble.there are a lot of things you obviously dont,you dont know much about election petition cases and you claim to know when you are empty.you dont ever accept your limitations.the supreme court and the constitution had established how election cases cam be proven,its not about quality but quantity.it can only be established polling unit by polling unit and each unit is treated specially.atiku has failed

I don't think Atiku's lawyers are total idiots as u r painting them.
1. He is not contesting all results, only where he didn't win.
2. You don't know the quality of the witnesses. Are they pulling unit witness or LG level?
3. They might not be tactically saying the SC remove PMB n install atiku.

In any case, pdp is just trying to save face

yarimo:
ATIKU if you like line up 400 Maurice IWU as witness, you are not going back to ASO rock in any capacity.

You don't determine that. The law must take its course.
I can't imagine an educated person making the above comment.
Abeg, which school you attend? I mean university.

Why are you pained? Is it your father's money?

Says who sir?

And in which section of the law. And paragraph what?

Are you lawyer?

No wahala since INEC is now an institution of Atiku. Anyway, the court will do its part in the whole case.

federal university of science and technology Sambisa Forest

tuniski:

You don't know what their case is Abegi allow the matter Start. Even 20 witnesses can do damage if they confess to altering results at state level.

This one still dey get hope say Atiku go become president.

When APC call out their own witnesses Atiku votes will be reduced to 1,000,000

Yea, now Atiku wants to go to court, since when has court ruling or decisions regarded in Nigeria?
when Nnamdi kalu was locked up for No reason and the courts granted him bail and Buhari refused to follow court's Order and rulings. were was Atiku?

Nigerian politicians Remembers the Nigerian courts and rule of law when it comes to their own cases.

Atiku is a crook. He should be prosecuted too.

yarimo:

Ok,i understand.

goslowgoslow:

It is not about. Atiku being president but about legal tussle. Allow the SANs battle themselves it is good for democracy.

Me personally have moved on. By the way make buhari improve his performance fa.

This is funny if, any one should be going to court for the sake of the rigging, that took place during the past elections. Then that person should be the farthest thing from Atiku. He should concede defeat before he implicates himself. Playing the victim card, when he did everything in his to power to rig too, only that he was unlucky to meet a greater rigger. Did the PDP not hire thugs, buy votes, steal ballot boxes.


400 witnesses my foot. I guess the witnesses were blind to your little charades here and there in the same election. Blatant rubbish.

shegra58:

Then the election will be declared sham. Case of double jeopardy!

senatordave1:

Seems you are ignorant of the judicial process or you are plain dumb.atiku's petition is a joke.governorship petitioners usually call over 2000 witnesses but still fail woefully.how can you call just 400 witnesses for a whole nation? So what happened in 400 units is enough to nullify the polls abi? Atiku is building his cases on things like card reader,forensic and other technologies that wont hold water.

He did not say he has 400 witnesses. He said he has more than 400 witnesses. try to read between the lines

Why are you referring to population you mean over 170+millon voted for the cow party just wait let the verdict of the tribunal comes out before you fill Nairaland with your Wailers write up.

hazvat:
Atiku is not a good business man. SWOT analysis is needed here otherwise you will spend all your life savings and still lose the case

He’s not so smart. All he’s good at is to steal then invest. Now I see the reason why he never started a Political party.

Zsquare:


Please which Supreme Court Election rule says it's all about quantity and not quality?

Judicial System deals with facts and one fact can nullify a 100 theories. Don't you know one testimony with video evidences can nullify a state and imagine if such states are Kano, Maiduguri, Yobe, etc. Some "org" said drones were used to monitor the election so such situations can bring facts. Besides Atiku is only raising questions on the results of some places and not the whole Country!

So a video of rigging in a polling unit will nullify the whole polls abi

No inec official will be a witness for pdp.the testimony of a top official cannot nullify any polls as far as you can establish it based on polling units individually
