Oga there was absolutely no loophole.

shadeyinka:

No sir!
The Supreme Court cannot accept the result from either APC or PDP as valid because they are not INEC.
The supreme court should have forced INEC to bring the results even if it was cancelled as evidence.

OgundeleT:

No. The court can accept it since they can accept that of APC and they(PDP) took part in the election. The court asked INEC to submit their own results but they could not present any, later the police was subpoenaed and the results tally with that of APC. but, the tribunal and appeal court rejected the evidence because it was not submitted by the police in each polling units where the controversial results took place.

festacman:


I believe that was what drove Justices of the Supreme Court to rule in Hope Uzodimma favour.

redsun:
The judgement is myopic. If inec that is the sole authority responsible for the election does not have a conclusive result then obviously the election should be declared null and void. Nobody should win until a fresh and impartial election is conducted.

Meanwhile, some inec animals should be held accountable criminally for conducting and declaring a rogue election. The consequences of what happened there is enormous, but because rigging is normal in Nigeria, the fcking judges can't see beyond handing it over to the one that has concocted evidence.

Blindersoff:


You are wrong.

You say the supreme court cannot accept results yet the same supreme court can overturn a wrong Inec declaration of who won an election. Choose one struggle Mr man.

The SC accepted the result because a chief witness in form of the DCP provided results which tally with what Hope submitted while Inec and PDP could not present even one counter evidence to defend their position that the results were faked.

This effectively brings in the words of the bible which is also found in law. OUT OF THE MOUTH OF 2 OR 3 WITNESSES SHALL EVERY WORD BE ESTABLISHED (2 Corinthians 13:1)

The ruling was very Just and very sound.

shadeyinka:

Whose result really should be believed
1. APC's
2. PDP's
3. INEC's

The results of INEC are like legal tender.

Let's Assume I printed fake Naira currency and CBN for one reason or the other decided to keep quiet and not give required evidence. Does that make my money a legal tender?

slivertongue:
APC will not know peace

shadeyinka:

The constitution of Nigeria empowers INEC to conduct elections. If INEC now failed to justify their countings, they should be forced to do that or someone prosecuted for distorting the fidelity of electoral result.

It is either that
INEC is compromised or
The Supreme Court is compromised.

Either way, someone must be brought to book

Blindersoff:


Why would INEC / IHEDIOHA suddenly decide to keep quiet and not provide counter evidence to their claim after the SC demanded they do so? This shows they have absolutely no counter evidence to that effect which means the ones Uzodinma actually submitted were valid and true.

Xisnin:
Fake analysis.
It is not the duty of the court to accept any document presented by a plaintiff.
If such a principle is generally applied, society will collapse.
Imagine what thieves and fraudsters will gain if merely presenting a document to a court
automatically make it legit.


Imagine someone presented to the court a purported receipt to your phone claiming they own it.
Should the court give them the phone because they ask for it?

What if the only issuer of such receipts declares it to be fake?
Shouldn't that be sufficient?

What if the court discovers that the date on the presented receipt is fake, should
the court steal your phone and give it to the complainant?


What any sane, sensible person would have done when they discover that Uzodinma's
fake results actually makes the total votes greater than the accredited voters is to dismiss his case or
declare the election null and order a rerun.

shadeyinka:

Sorry, that's not they way it went. If it is, what was
1. The response of INEC?
2. The response of PDP?

The above questions raises some valid points that any reasonable Nigerian ought to be asking by now.

I already explained why Buhari had to use the CJN to deliver Imo to APC at all costs.

The answer is simple. Buhari will never relinquish power to a south-westerner in 2023. His covert plan for a third term (through that failed social media regulation bill) has been squashed, therefore his Plan B now is to use the South East to retain power in the north in 2023.

He believes the igbos will gladly accept and support a vice presidential slot under a new northern presidential candidate, this is why he needed to secure a state for APC in the South East at all cost.

But with this action, Buhari has just placed the final nail on the coffin of Nigeria's fourth republic and if Tinubu were to be really as smart as the South Westerners says he is, he ought to have seen the mene-teke-farsi on the wall by now.

It's 60 years since Nigeria gained independence, out of that 60, the North has been in power for over 40. How do you think they've been able to pull it off?

Divide and rule! They know how to create enmity between the Southerners (mainly yorubas and igbos) and then manipulate the side that bests suits their quest to retain power at all costs. The yorubas always boast of their education but truth is when it comes to political smartness, they are learners in the face of the North.

Besides, this judicial disgrace that the justice Tanko led Supreme Court just did in order to give Imo to APC at all costs is going to haunt Nigeria's fourth republic till it crumbles. INEC electoral results (democracy) will no longer determine who gets elected into office. All APC needs do is to simply print fake copies of electoral materials, take it to court, and their lawyer will quote this Imo judgment by the Supreme Court as a past judicial reference for why the fake copies must be accepted as valid proofs. The judge will have no option.

I keep repeating that the country called Nigeria is not feasible. Secession is inevitable. Igbos and yorubas can't mix. Same with Hausas,/fulanis and the other minorities. History has it thst the Yorubas, middle belts and Niger deltans are peaceful sets of people except when pushed to the edge. The excessive desire to rule by Hausas and Igbos, at the detriment of the other ethnicities, has been the cause of crisis and economic problems plaguing Nigeria since independence.


The map below best describes the only way forward for peace and prosperity for all Nigerians.
Southwest is Oduduwa Republic
Southsouth is Republic of Niger Delta (Rondel)
South East is Biafra.

This is the only way forward.

Are the 388 polling units non-existent? If they were then INEC or Emeka Ihe dioha would have simply proved that. Seems elections actually took place but the original copies of the documents, which Hope Uzodimma's team tendered are hidden somewhere or were destroyed.

shadeyinka:

I still wonder how the supreme court had the power to conduct an election. For that is what they have done. The other parties didn't even get a single vote from the said polling units!
SMH

OgundeleT:

If CBN failed to show the evidence and other respondent(whose the outcome of the judgment may affect) in the matter can show other evidence, then the court will scrutinize the matter.

berrystunn:


Even PDP, AA APGA did not get one vote there lol

Blindersoff:


Oga read

https://www.nairaland.com/5649058/full-supreme-court-judgement-imo

shadeyinka:

The supreme court could have been impartial if they looked at the results from at least 10 parties out of the almost 60 parties that contested.

Only CBN can decide if a Naira currency is fake or legit. In a case where they keep quiet, it can only mean they have been compromised.

Why isn't the FG prosecuting/sacking some people within INEC for negligence or forgery?

shadeyinka:

The loophole in their Judgement is just too glaring. They could have ordered for a re-run of the election

From the facts of the Judgment found here

https://www.nairaland.com/5649058/full-supreme-court-judgement-imo

It is evident the Supreme Court is on the right side of the law while INEC was compromised by PDP.

shadeyinka:

I can agree (for the sake of argument) that INEC was compromised by the PDP. Hence, someone or groups within INEC must be prosecuted for compromising the election.

Whose duty is that?

OgundeleT:

Check the judgment and see yourself that PDP have more than 1k votes in those polling units.

shadeyinka:

You state it!
Difficult to say hence you push the whole bible to read from Genesis to Revelation
