Supplementary election is not recognized by law---Osun election Tribunal

All those supplementary election holding on Saturday in KANO, SOKOTO, BAUCHI, BENUE, ADAMAWA are exercise in futility, they will be declared null, void and illegal.

PDP has won those states in the eyes of the law .

INEC is just engaging in mere electoral exercise and waste of tax payers money

That is exactly what Tambuwal is challenging in court. The concept of inconclusive and supplementary elections are criminal.

If supplementary election is illegal, why wasting tax payers money tomorrow in the name of supplementary election.
They should go ahead & declare PDP winner of those states.

More notably, the one headed by Prof. Yakubu Mahmood. He has conducted numerous inconclusive (remotely controlled) elections in the history of Nigeria.

APC and INEC played themselves by deliberating influencing cancelling of votes to force supplementary elections

This case will be appealed and end up in the supreme court. I'm not sure the tribunal's position is not conflicting with parts of the electoral law that empowers INEC to exercise its authority but since am not a lawyer, I will like to see how this case ends. I wish whosoever win the best of luck.

Supplementary election is part of the electoral law and the same act that created INEC via the Nigerian constitution. The tribunal obviously did not read the act or they are just ignorant, clueless or just rendered bought and paid for verdict.

The constitutional requirement is simple majority and 25% of 2/3 that overrides any electoral act inconsistency!

The constitutional criteria for supplementary election is not ambiguous and what I posed says nothing about %

Not agreeing is your right and opinion, but opinions are not facts.

Show documented and constitutional facts that says supplementary elections are illegal and INEC is illegal and not part of the Nigerian constitution that created INEC in the first place.


The constitution delegated election matters to INEC and INEC only, not to any tribunal or other kinds of interpretations.

First of all, you are the one that has actually failed to show documented and constitutional facts that states supplementary elections. I would like you to quote the part of the constitution that empowers Inec to conduct supplementary elections.

Yes, the constitution delegated election matters to Inec but INEC must operate according to the stipulations of the constitution and the election Tribunals and court are they to interpret the constitution and the laws concerning election matters. Your statement "not to any tribunal or other forms of interpretation" is wrong. Otherwise you are then telling me that the Ajimobi, Amosun and even Aregbesola should not have been governors and their tenured were all illegal.

What if you do not have the 25% of 2/3 that overrides the Electoral Act?Will INEC not use common sense and call for a supplementary election?

I agree,if that is what pdp is hinging their victory on,then in reality the case in court should be exclusively between pdp and inec,pdp challenging inec"s powers when it comes to election matters,with this precedence which i know won't stand,a court can annul an election because inec changed the original date of the scheduled election.
