Bunch of cry cry babies. The CJN should resign because SC judgment didn't go in their favor this time. It's how democracy and the justice system works, if you don't trust the SC, don't take suit to them. It's not by emotion and sentiment, but by who makes the best logical argument at the court. May power never reach these bunch of morons ever again.
Hillsong34: Iheadioha's administration focused too much on the past governor Rochas Okorocha. In August 2019, a report surfaced that he issued an order for the arrest and prosecution of Okorocha. This was greeted with widespread uproar that the new governor should tread softly. The Ohaneze described the move as an invitation to anarchy which is capable plunging the state into chaos.
The Imo PDP also did not help matters. Rather than focus on governance, they kept too much energy on the previous administration of Okorocha and also alleged that the ex-governor left the state with a liability of N300billion.
Several attempts were made by elders in the state to resolve the face-off between the two political figures, but all failed woefully.
Sirjamo: The PDP has an original sin that nothing can wash, only the death of PDP can end the sorrows of its members
When you deny a man justice because of his previous wrongs, you have become more worst than him. He's far qualified to be called a saint while you have crowned yourself as the devil for denying him due justice

Are u okay We are talking about the joke of a judgment delivered by the clown tanko and his merrymen and you are bringing up an unrelated topic...
Caleb17: Supreme Court is the court of last resort. When PDP was in power, that is how they dealt with the opposion without any reflection that there will be a humbling time like this. Life is turn by turn. It's now there turn. Let them accept their fate.
Are you guys not tired of repeating these same lines about PDP all the time? Is that how Nigeria should keep turning in circles without making any progress?
Yeye people, can the CJN also recuse himself from Zamfara judgement where they handed the losers the state from house of assembly members to Governor’s seat. As I dey pain them ,I dey sweet us. I said it that Ihedioha was never supposed to be declared the winner becos he never made the constitutional 25 % of the lga. He only rigged in his mbaise lga winning majority of votes in only 3lga. For those of you saying that Kano will go for pdp, I laugh in Sweden, Kano election was declared inconclusive becos of the cancelled votes and rerun followed after. Had it been they ordered rerun in imo state, that would have been better. In law, no two similar cases are the same and would receive the same judgement. Ozekome can no longer win court cases since Onnoghen was removed, oh, I forgot that pdp said today that they will no longer use him as their lead counsel. Yeye dey smell. May pdp continue wailing or they can kukuma bring their cjn Onnoghen back and remove Tanko. I don’t know why they always wail when judgement did not favour them. Worthy of note that their Atiku even told Ihedioha to accept the verdict and move on and they are here wailing. I don’t know how it will be possible to bribe the 7 judges who in unanimous decision gave the verdict . Una wailing just dey start. Sokoto might still go if care is not taken. Judges look at the evidences before them and not sentiment. So if their lead counsel for sokoto did not present their case well, sorry go be their name. They can wail from now till tomorrow and nothing will change.
festacman: As confusing as the currently trending INEC's official results of 2019 Imo State governorship election are, I dare make the following submissions pending the release of details of Supreme Court ruling:
First, a question: What happens to the duly registered and accredited voters who turned out and actually voted in the so-called excluded 388 PUs if the judges leave the issue of exclusion unattended to? Interestingly, it is highly likely that there is no PU in Imo State that would have less than 100 registered voters. So, is it legal and right for these bonafide Nigerians to be disenfranchised just because somebody didn't do his job well?
What the current electoral result confusion in Imo State shows is that the malpractices that happened in the, now notorious, 388 PUs also took place in other PUs across the state. Otherwise, how do you justify and rationalize that INEC figures added up inspite of the massive number of legitimate voters whose votes were excluded in 388 PUs. The fact is that what happened in Imo State in 2019 gubernatorial election was not election but rigging competition by the four 'heavyweight' candidates.
The bottom line is that both the permanent and Adhoc staff of Imo State INEC in the recent 2019 governorship election are a huge disappointment and were partly complicit for this electoral mess. Obviously, they lost control of the messy situation and merely 'balanced the book'.
Denigrating the Judges of the Supreme Court for the smelly mess created by fraudlent actvities of self-centred politicians is, to say least, a demonstration of foolery.
After this long write up, I was hoping you will explain how the total votes is now more than the accredited votes. The duty of the supreme court is to correct "the smelly mess created by fraudlent actvities of self-centred politicians" and not add to it. My guy make you Fear God small nna
...Its not that the supreme court is supreme but the supreme court is supreme in its judgement because it is supreme....only my learned colleagues can understand this one....
The judgement beats the imagination of many�♀️�♀️�♀️
Tanko lacks the intelligence to be a supreme court judge not to talk of being a CJ. He is bereDt of any substance . A man who can't even define what technicalities mean in law is made CJ.. no wonder you have such fraudulent decision by the highest court Buhari is a rogue that is confirmed....

You started saying something and ended up saying nothing. Let me ask you, was that the best decision to make? When has it becomes the duty of the judiciary to allocates votes to the parties? Should n’t it have been in the best interest of the nation and the disenfranchised voters for the court to order for a new election in those PU’s? So it’s only APC that score votes in those PU’s?

PDP has come to a sorry pass indeed! Imagine a Party Chairman saying stuff like this! He is supposed to be educated and claims to be a democrat! How far away is four years to warrant a tear-down of the Supreme Court just because a decision is considered unfavourable! Besides, that decision is sound in law and logic. Secundus should at best be second fiddle in PDP administration. By the way, his penchant for making obviously bad and uninformed choices has APC presently in power in Osun State. Ogunbiyi was sure to coast home to comfortable victory against APC’s Oyetola who was secretly praying for PDP to field the dancing bear who like forever is a hard sell!
Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach.For anyone supporting this ignominy, REMEMBER A MAN MUST SURELY REAP WHAT HE SOWS.DONT BE A PARTAKER OF ANOTHER'S SIN.GOD BLESS
Kwanza: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has knocked the panel of Supreme Court justices that delivered judgment in the Imo State governorship election.
The party asked for a review and reversal of the judgment and called on the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad to step down.
At a media conference on Thursday, addressed by the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, the party asked the six other justices that delivered judgment on the Imo case to recuse themselves from the remaining election petition cases pending before the apex court.
Other governorship election petition cases pending before the apex court and in which the PDP is involved, are those of Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Plateau and Kano states.
Describing the verdict in the Imo case as recipe for crisis, Secondus said the judgement was a miscarriage of justice and a coup against the PDP and the people of Imo state.
The party chairman said, “That the Supreme Court, as presently constituted under Justice Mohammed Tanko, has become heavily compromised; lost its credibility and is now annexed to execute ignoble agenda of the APC-led Federal Government against the Nigerian people.
“That the judgment of the Supreme Court voiding the lawful election of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha (who scored 276,404 votes) and awarding fictitious votes to declare Hope Uzodimma of the APC, who scored 96, 458 votes as governor of Imo state, is highly irrational, unfounded, a provocative product of executive manipulation and a recipe for crisis, which should not be allowed to stand.
“With the verdict, the Supreme Court executed a coup against the PDP and the people of Imo state as well as other Nigerians, and such must not be allowed to have a place in our democracy”.
Querying the validity of the judgment, the party pointed out that the 127,209 votes added to the votes of the APC candidate, Hope Uzodinma by the apex court could not be justified.
Secondus said the added votes to the APC candidate shot the total votes cast at the election above the number of accredited voters, as contained in the record of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to him, while the INEC figure of accredited voters stood at 823,743, the apex court, through its judgment, shot the number to 950,952, which the party said was in excess of accredited voters in the election.
The party also queried the allotment of the entire votes in the disputed 388 polling units, saying that going by INEC records, election did not take place in those polling units as a result of violence and other disruptive activities on election day.
“The so-called results from the 388 polling units were rightfully rejected, in line with several decisions of the Supreme Court, by the Tribunal and Court of Appeal as it was merely dumped on the tribunal in a Ghana Must Go bag, by a policeman who had no mandate of the police to testify at the Tribunal.
“The Tribunal did not even open the Ghana Must Go bags as there was no basis to do so. It is one of the great wonders of the world how the Supreme Court opened the bag, counted the results and added them to only the APC Candidate.
“What is more perplexing is the fact that INEC produced a schedule of reasons why results were not produced from the 388 units.
“Indeed election did not even take place in most of the units for one reason or another, like violence, etc and so no result could possibly be obtained from those units. The results were not merely rejected or cancelled by INEC.
“None of the candidates or their counsel, except perhaps APC, as we speak, are aware of the number of votes scored by each party from the 388 polling units. The Tribunal or Court of Appeal did not mention or ascribe any figure from the units to any party in their decisions.
“In fact, in the cross examination of the APC candidate, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, he could not read any figure from the ‘Oluwole’ results. He said that the figures were not clear. And so it beats our imagination where the Supreme Court conjured and manufactured the figures it used in declaring Uzodinma/APC as duly elected”, Secondus added.
The party raised questions as to the propriety of the apex court to formulate and allocate votes as election results where such votes were not certified by INEC as required by law.
Knocking the apex court further, Secondus said, “The fact is that, the Supreme Court, as presently constituted under Justice Tanko, has lost its credibility and no longer commands the respect and confidence of Nigerians.
“If the people no longer repose confidence in the Supreme Court, then our democracy, national cohesion and stability are at great risk.
“The constitution of the panel that heard the appeal itself was a product of drama. The panel was changed three times and any judge that showed signs of not agreeing to murder democracy, in this case, was promptly removed by the CJN. The result had to be unanimous to satisfy the script of rationality.
“But can any judge who sat on that panel go home and sleep well? Can any judge who sat on that panel face his Creator and swear that impartial justice was done? We think not.
“We had intelligence before the verdict on the Imo governorship that the hierarchy of APC had decided that they must use the Supreme Court to capture the states won and controlled by the PDP such as Imo, Sokoto, Bauchi, Adamawa and Benue.
“Can the PDP rightly trust the impartiality and independence of the panel headed by Justice Tanko Mohammed, the CJN, to adjudicate on the remaining cases involving the PDP like Kano, Sokoto, Benue, Bauchi, Adamawa, Plateau and others?
“Is the same fate awaiting the Governors of these states that are controlled by the PDP and other states like Kano where the PDP clearly won and was robbed?
“Should Justice Tanko Mohammed and his colleagues on the Imo Governorship Panel not recuse themselves from the remaining cases involving PDP?
“The PDP firmly holds that if the flawed judgment of the Supreme Court on Imo governorship election is allowed to stand, it would be a recipe for anarchy, chaos and constitutional crisis not only in Imo state but in the entire country.
“Our party has it in good authority that Justice Tanko and his panel are working on instruction from certain forces in the Presidency to use the Supreme Court to take over states lawfully won by the PDP and award them to the APC.
“The PDP, therefore, advises Justice Tanko not to allow himself to be used to push our nation to the path of anarchy and constitutional crisis as any further attempt to subvert justice in the pending petitions on Sokoto, Bauchi, Benue, Adamawa as well as Kano and Plateau states will be firmly and vehemently resisted.
“In other to avoid an imminent breakdown of law and order, the PDP demands that Justice Tanko Mohammed immediately steps down as CJN and chairman of the National Judicial Council as Nigerians have lost confidence in him and a Supreme Court under his leadership.
“Justice Tanko must not head the panel to determine the remaining election petitions before the Supreme Court”
Majority in Imo state have accepted the Supreme Court judgement.
That election day, PDP candidate, Ihedioha, scored impossible huge number of votes - nearly 150,000, from two rural local govt areas of his home constituency.
PDP aide of Ihedioha tore result scripts of APC candidate right in front of INEC officials and the law enforcement agents.
PDP should stop behaving like spoilt children. When all the elective positions won by APC in Zamfara including governorship were handed over to them unexpectedly by same supreme court, they never rejected the unmerited gifts nor abused the leadership of supreme court. We should learn to obey national institutions such as supreme court, INEC, DSS/SSS etc that are non partisan.

2. Voters accredited by INEC was...... . ... 823, 743
3. Difference........103, 082
Don't let them go to REVIEW FIRST how PDP's Ihedioha got nearly 150,000 votes from two rural local govt areas in his home area. Vote manufacturing plant (VMP), must have been built by Ihedioha in the two local government areas.
