Imo is politically insignificant compared to Zamfara in our national politics. How many votes did Imo produce for the ruling party compared to Zamfara? Imo state that was so democratically backward and torn apart by the bid by its governor to appoint his relative as successor?

Yes it was a gift and you must maintain that same energy you had in accepting the Zamfara judgement.

P. S We know Imo's influence in the East and that's why APC has taken over both the executive and legislature.
You forgot to remember that Zamfara had the same political crises right?

I see you have left sense.... There is no way you can compare these two cases. Rivers had same party crisis.. You are just another poor thinker.

Zamfara has no significance politically nor economically in this nation.. What does that nation bring to the table except mobilization of almajiris to vote for one uncircumcised pedo undecided

What happened in Imo state is a rape of democracy. It proved that you don't even need to campaign, just wait and use the courts to subvert the wishes of the people.

Democracy is dead in Nigeria, just like every other sector.
Why did Inec refuse to announce results from 388 pulling units or even conduct a re run election in those units?
Inec gave out the election to Hope uzodima and not supreme court.

Uzodima asked the court to compel inec to include the results from those units since it refused to conduct another election from those areas, mind you uzodima was already leading in those areas before inec cancelled the results.

You keep quiet. A bulk of Hope's votes were also excluded at the collation center AFTER they had been validated and signed for at the polling units by all party agents including the PDP. Can you explain why?

The inability of INEC & PDP to explain that is the basis of the courts decision which you must obey.

I might have "left sense" according to you, but it's very clear you have no sense left.

Imagine a common politically irrelevant 5%er calling Zamfara politically insignificant grin. The entire East, not just Imo, is politically irrelevant in Nigerian political affairs and I can bring up the results of the past elections to prove it. You are too insignificant to even rule yourselves.

Why else are Imolites and other Igbos falling over themselves agitating for Northern presidency again in 2023 if not that they're too insignificant to get it for themselves? Why did Obi have to line up behind Atiku to get a chance to enter Aso Rock?

Lol just leave this matter of political insignificance if you don't want to ruin your morning.

Actually the Supreme Court can change a judgment based on new evidence and/or clerical error.

In the case of Hope and Ihedioha, the argument of total accredited voted vs total votes casted can be viewed as a clerical error that was not considered by the court as these numbers are an aberration to the constitution which the Supreme Court draws its powers from

Thank you my man. You see, people will think that Ozekhome is brilliant but he is human. He can forget or make mistakes. Supreme court judgement can be revied based on new facts that were not considered in the main case and or clerical errors. Going by the supreme court judgement on Imo state, there is now clear case of over voting in Imo state election . The law says when there is such a case, the election should be cancelled. Secondly, by the supreme court judgement earlier before that of Uzodimma Vs Ihedioha, APC had no candidate in that election because Uche Nwosu who was the authentic candidate, was disqualified based on double candidacy. It means that Uzodimma was not a candidate in that election.
It is a pity that we do not have pragmatic lawyers in this country again.

You're the dumb one here fellow. Ihedioha was declared winner of a poll with less than 25% of the total poll cast across board, you never saw it desecration of democracy right? Uzodinma's votes were cancelled across over 300 polling units in his stronghold, that was fair democracy in action too?

Zamfara people voted massively for apc. Apc was the party they voted for, but the same "junk democratic tenets" you claim have been bastardized gave it to pdp on a platter of gold. You guys are sore losers and pose more harm to our democracy than even boko haram.

Racoon:

Almost 50 years ago, we had the case of Johnson v Lawanson (1971) 7 NSCC 82 where the Supreme Court found cause to overrule itself. In that case, Justice G.B.A Coker of the Apex Court made the point that “when the court is faced with the alternative of perpetuating what it is satisfied is an erroneous decision which was reached per incuriam and will, if followed, inflict hardship and injustice upon the generations in the future or of causing temporary disturbances of rights acquired under such a decision, I do not think we shall hesitate to declare the law as we find it.”

What the above implies is that the convention that Courts do not reverse themselves has exceptions; one of which is that a party is allowed to seek a revisit of a decided case if the decision was arrived at by fraud or deceit or in earnest, when there are clerical errors in the judgment

This is not a political party thing but the legal precedence this illegality will set.Remember people will make reference to it for a long time to come.

oga,those are not new evidence.there is no overvoting anywhere.inec wrongly misinterprets overvoting.overvoting is when total number of votes cast exceed what is in the voters register and in imo state,total registered voters is 2 million.that is supreme court definition.for you to prove it,you must bring all polling unit voters register to prove it not card reader and this is impossible.in all the judgment of the apex court including that of yesterday,they restated this.

Secondly,on the matter of hope not being a candidate,this cannot be raised since pdp never raised the issue.you cannot bring it back again,only old evidences or matters that were dealt with can be reviewed.
Again,hope and apc were never joined in the matter which was between aa and nwosu strictly.it has no effect on hope,it goes to no issues.it is settled in law that you cannot make an order to any party not joined,you pdp guys do not know the law.you just argue based on sentiments.
