A very stupid move by APC. That petition was filed by PDP and Atiku and the counterclaim was on Atiku alone.

So PDP will win and Tambuwal steps in.
hahahahahahahahahaha.
the case has already lost merit, and the entire case will be struck out.

. I have bn reading your comments here from the page you started. Why are you getting yourself worked up over nothing. This is a legal battle. And na battle dem call am. Leave the SANs to their job nah or you are one of them. What even makes you think that if Atiku is disqualified, pdp wins but if Buhari got disqualified, apc loses.
No sentiments in law court jare. You accept the fact that Buhari sec school did not exist before independence but find it hard to accept that Atiku home town was not part Nigeria as at then. Some are even arguing if apc wasn't aware of Atiku nationality in 2015 as if Atiku did not support a Buhari who had no sec sch cert then. Comical individuals.
Maybe I am a SAN to be, may be I am not.

Your brain is full of holes.so you feel that the apc counter claims is not a response abi or that it means the apc wont defend themselves against your master's half baked prayers? A counter claim is a form of response which is mere formality.filing a counter claim is nothing special and doesnt stop apc from defending itself against atiku's useless claims.infact,expect more counter claims challenging the 11 million fraudulent votes he managed to see.

Even i a non lawyer has punctured all atiku's claims talkless of what the legal team will do.you have spent more time since this case started in defending your master against his legal mishap instead of being on the offensive.are you not smelling failure or you have lost your sense of perception?
What is a counter-claim boss and why do lawyers use them?

I'm still thinking of the right word to use. If all the APC lawyers can offer is this trash, then INEC should just declare their academic certificates Inconclusive. For Pete's sake, and they even gave an analysis that shot themselves in the leg.

Re: Atiku Abubakar Is Not A Nigerian, APC Tells Tribunal by Bennycollins: 9:25am On Apr 13, 2019
Based on the logic and semantics of this deposition by tge APC, the salient questions would be;
Do we have any place in northern Cameroon called Jada or Adamawa?
Do we have the above in Nigerian territory? Do we have elected representatives of these places in state or National parliament and why if these are not Nigerian? Did the INEC conduct elections in these places and did the APC record votes in same? If the answer to all these is yes then this aspect of the defence is easily decided.
Nigeria ceded bakassi to Cameroon, most of the bakassi people chose by plebiscite to remain Nigerian, some went to Cameroon. If international law recognises the citizenship status of these people, the local laws are helpless in changing anything.

APC is a party full of illiterates. Maybe they need to be tutored on what a plebiscite is, their claim is incompetent and lacks merit. The Tribunal should strike out such frivolous claims and award penalty to the satanic party. They only want to deflect attention from the obvious electoral robbery. President Atiku will certainly reclaim his stolen mandate

Btw: Is the satanic party saying Nnamdi Kanu, a supposed terrorist, is now their role model by presenting to the tribunal what the Ipod guy said word for word?
Those lawyers who came up with this shitty argument deserve to have their licences suspended. This is total ignorance of the process of citizenship. They don't understand that law recognizes the outcome of plebiscite, or they simply chose to act stupid. Either way, their argument is a disgrace to the legal profession.

Oga u didn't answer my earlier question

"The Vice President of Nigeria is the second-in-command to the President of Nigeria in the Government of Nigeria. Officially styled Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President is elected alongside the President in national elections. The office is currently held by Yemi Osinbajo."

"The president and vice president of the United States campaign together and are elected as a team and not individually following the adoption of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution"

Total is 4 good years which is the number of years my able president(PMB) will use to govern. By the time APC is done with Atiku he will forget his presidential election/career. Lol

Atiku started it by turning his petition into a comedy circus by asking the tribunal to cancel the whole election because Buhari does not have a certificate because his school wasn't existing in 1949, so the APC are playing along. When atiku gets serious with his petition, I am sure APC will also get serious with its defence.

So a whole lawyer wrote this and you are appaulding it? Hmmm

Atiku is a Nigerian citizen by birth. He was born in Jada LGA of Adamawa State. Jada is a constitutionally listed LGA and Adamawa is a constitutional State in Nigeria.
The INEC conducted election there, Even the Apc recorded votes there . This claim is trash, therefore.

You are very smart..

Let me add Nigerian constitution chapter 6..


Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999

CHAPTER VI

THE EXECUTIVE

Federal Executive

A - The President of the Federation

130.

(1) There shall be for the Federation a President.

(2) The President shall be the Head of State, the Chief Executive of the Federation and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation.

131. A person shall be qualified for election to the office of the President if -

(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;

(b) he has attained the age of forty years;

(c) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and

(d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
