Guy,that is meaningless according to our constitution.inec calculated that based on the card readers but the laws says you must calculate it using the voters register.for you to prove that there is a problem,you must peruse all the voters register in imo to really debunk that figure

otokx:
The doings of INEC is now visible to the blind

LaIabobo:
Sadly, it is a tale of the more you look, the less you see.

But this same supreme court ruled against APC in Rivers, Bauchi and Zamfara state... Now they ruled in favour of APC and no one seems to understand the basis of the ruling. Crazy old men and women.

Politics in this nation is mad, insane, and crazy.

garfield1:

Elections held. Polling unit results were declared and issued to agents and police. At Ward collation, valid results from 388 polling units where Uzodinma got over 200k votes were not collated in the Ward results without any legal basis. So it is basically, votes in 388 valid Form EC8As were not included in preparing Form EC8Bs, which greatly affected the final result and placed him 4th. At the Tribunal, these original duplicate copies given to the party agents and the police were tendered and spoken to by persons who witnessed the unlawful exclusion.

The case at the Tribunal was simply for the Court to exercise its power to include votes from these 388 polling which were ignored at the point of collation without a legal basis, in the final result.

That is all the Supreme Court did. When you add the excluded votes, Uzodinma had over 300k votes. That makes him the winner.

The last time the Supreme Court gave a decision like this is in Omoboriowo v Ajasi and Nwobodo v Onoh in 1984. So I'm not surprised that it's sounding new.

As a lawyer, I don't speak to the politics behind decisions. I speak to the legal basis behind decisions. There was legal basis for this decision. But let the politics continue.

garfield1:

Oga,the law globally and especially our electoral law has a lot of flaws and an intelligent hope took advantage of these loopholes.imolites may not have given him those votes but like all politicians who rig,he crafted means of rigging in those polling units using original inec result sheets,found a way to authenticate them at the units bearing in mind that you canjot cancel results emanating from units.
He got a smart lawyer who proved and convinced the apex court that the results were genuine and unlawfully excluded.that's the summary.
In those 388 units,votes from other parties doesnt matter because they didnt petition plus it will not stop hope from winning.you grab it?

sammhi:

Stop lying ..
Same thing Akpabio did in Akwa ibom ..He came that he scored 60k votes ..While only 22k were accredited so the votes were cancelled. That is the law . The court of appeal said they should do the elections again . Akpabio ran away ...
Back to IMO ...
Total no of accredited voters are 823k. Supreme court voters 1,024,555..This figure exceeded accredited voters by over 200k. That's the figure given to him fraudulently...
Anyone can bribe INEC officials to write cooked up figures but the accreditation always give it away ...
The best thing was for supreme court to order a rerun in affected places not giving ghost votes that obviously exceeded accredited voters
If UZO was not an APC , would they give him such fraudulent victory ...
Am not in any party but injustice is injustice.
Fraud is Fraud
APC has no single house of assembly member ..Who then voted for UZO ?

ABCthings:
this is seriously serious. Please how can you prove to the court that an election was rigged?
and how hard is it?

Glycosunde:

Was it the 2million people that came out to vote that day or you calculate by the actual voter figures that voted. The irregularities r very glaring n that is y inec can produce a new collated figures as it will be more than those who actually came out to vote

garfield1:

To you,atiku had prima facie evidences but in the eyes of the law,he had no evidences.dont denigrate the supreme court justices.it is not a must that you must always win.there are not concerned with layman calculations or trying to add up figures.there are concerned about the position of the law in relation to votes and election.
In the eyes of the law,uzodinma's votes are lawful and valid.your figures are all from inec card readers which has no legal backing and does not concern the court.what the supreme court looks at is voters register,valid votes,results sheets.total voters register in imo is over 2 million.acvording to the constitution,for you to get proper account of the vote statistics,you must use the voters register not card readers.as far as the votes are not more than 2 million as recorded in the register,they are deeemed lawful and regular.to disprove it,use the voters register.so all your maths has no legal standing

Lifepia:
This case and the excuses given by the so called Supreme court does not make any sense. Let us says that Hope Uzodinma got those votes, what about the rest of the pack including Ihedioha, does it mean they did not get any votes while Hope Uzodinma was getting his own, and why did the court also not award Ihedioha his own tally since INEC excluded them all. The decision is flawed and Ihedioha's Legal Counsel should approach the Supreme court to review it's order and suspend it and maybe order a fresh election in the state. The other candidates are also due their own tally from the excluded results to see if you also add their own tally, will Emeka Ihedioha not increase and maintain his lead??

ArmaniUhuru:
Because the figures doesn’t add up.

Total Accredited Voters in Imo for gov election: 823,743.

After Supreme Court's ruling: 950,952.

.
U either mischievous or just plain dumb
Rivers : APC had no candidate
Bauchi : what happened ? The man lost in main election ...What role did supreme court play ..o don't know of any role ...
Zamfara: APC was disqualified by court from participation in election . They went ahead ...
How did these scenario compare to the robbery in IMO
If you care to know in IMO
Total accredited voters were 823,542
Supreme court voters 1,024,555
A difference of over 200k ..Which is what gave him the fraudulent victory
Also , APC has no single House of assembly member in IMO ..How then did the man win?
Mr
Some of us are not in any party but Fraud is Fraud .
The most important thing is let justice prevail
APC won in bayelsa .. Did anyone complain ?
Uzodinam didn't even come second ....How did he win ? How did supreme court voters exceeded accredited voters . That is how to catch a thief . When accredited voters is less than vote counted ...
Pls don't compare Zamfara to this ....Ihedioha was not disqualified by a court from contesting ..If he was then nwosu should be the Governor not Uzodinam.
This is plain kidnapping , rape and armed robbery.

TeeBabss:
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS

With the supreme court ruling, there seem to be more questions than answers regarding the drama in Imo including how the supreme court came about the votes it tallied. How many votes were left out, enough to make up for the gap of 176,946 votes between Ihedioha and Uzodinma?
Was it only Uzodinma that was affected in the 388 polling units? On what ground did INEC nullify the votes from the polling units? What Could it be the apex court faulted INEC’s decision? What happens in subsequent elections when the commission decides to void votes from some polling units as it deems fit? The litany of questions continues.

This is what I've been saying!

Caleb17:
It doesn't remove the fact that Hope Uzodimma is now governor of Imo State.

shadeyinka:
If INEC actually forgot/omitted 176,946 votes, they should be sued to court for incompetency and some heads in INEC should roll.

However, if the above isn't the case, then the Supreme Court must be faulted as compromised!

Either way, some people must pay the price for corrupting our electoral process

Mrexcell:


There's no such votes anywhere it was all cooked up that's clearly why the numbers have refused to add up. How come the same apc couldn't even win a single seat in the imo state house of assembly if really the apc are that popular in imo state?

Princewell2012:


God bless you. Am from IMO state. Yes if inec cancelled some polling units for whatever reasons. And now decided to attributes those votes hope uzodimma. which was earlier cancelled by Inec , so does it means that ihedioha does not win a sin vote in those 800 and something polling units. Hmm this question

shadeyinka:

The same formula was used in kogi state. I am more disturbed with how our highest court of law seem to be compromised with no reverence for the distortion of future law and order

Princewell2012:


Meaning that buhari deliberately change the CJN onoghen for that purpose. God is watching.

nzeobi:
Hope has ordered probe of okorocha

vanunu:
Hope was not the APC candidate, according to the same supreme Court, as they had earlier ruled that Uche Nwosu was validly elected in the primary as APC candidate, but disqualified him for also being the AA candidate, the question now is where did Hope's candidacy emanate from as he did not come second in the primary election that elected Uche Nwosu.
