LegalAnalyst:
From the very beginning, I knew something went wrong. No sane justice of the supreme court will accede to political pressure to upturn an electoral victory of an opposition party in zone such as South East; bearing in mind of the many recent events in the zone.

But the perception that judiciary as presently constituted is Buhari's puppet makes some Nigerians, especially PDPs, think Tanko-led Judiciary has compromised.

NGpatriot:
Unfortunately, our so-called leaders of tomorrow are on the internet rambling tribalism, religious bigotry and other ignorant phrases instead of reading and analyzing what actually transpired and what led to the SC judgment in favor of the plaintiff.

We can not secure favorable judgments through incompetence, laziness and after failing to prove our case with credible evidence.

Xisnin:
Fake analysis.
The court is not bound to accept all documents presented by plaintiffs.
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.

Deepthoughts:
get lost.

OVIHINNO:

The evidence presented before the supreme court was that elections took place in those polling units and Uzodinma overwhelming won. PDP and INEC couldn't disprove that. There was no way the Supreme Court would be calling for another election when the facts before her shows that there is a clear winner. The supreme court justices are not magicians. They decide cases on the strength of the evidence presented

garfield1:

I hit you hard.you are lost in a jungle of hatred,even ihedioha cant save you

Deepthoughts:
you are just dancing round the point I raised while avoiding it completely,the results showed overwhelming victory for uzodima but also proved overwhelming over voting so how do you marry the two?,why can't the new tally be made public by the supreme Court since inec refused because they said it was the supreme Court that did the tally n declarations?

OVIHINNO:

There can't be over voting because of the following facts;
The results from the 388 polling units were totally excluded. That means both the accredited votes and valid votes weren't taken into consideration by INEC when they made their declaration.
Naturally since the supreme court added those valid votes from the 388 polling units automatically accredited votes will increase with at least the combination of valid votes scored by all the candidates, void votes, cancelled votes etc
There cannot be valid votes without accreditation

Blindersoff:


I will re-quote your own words as you gave to me.

You must be the most stupid and greatest nincompoop that ever existed.

Attached is the second page of the judgement. Look toward the bottom and you will see that the appellant (UZODINMA) claimed he got the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of the results from the 388 PU units cancelled.

This means OTHER PARTIES GOT VOTES but he got much more.

How does this translate to ZERO VOTES TO OTHER PARTIES?

You make me ashamed of you seriously for this display of stupidity from you.

Why would the SC call for a rerun? Is that the appeal before her? Nobody filed an appeal for a rerun and even INEC never did so but went ahead to declare ihedioha as governor in the face of injustice and lack of evidence from them. Even PDP could not produce their own copies of the results which is ALWAYS given to all parties and their agents for sake of accountability. Why did PDP not produce their own copy?

Read the attached and stop being a nuisance

nice summary and enlightenment.

Let’s not forget the big picture! This hits at the very core of what type of country we’d end up becoming!

This is a horrible judgment that sets dangerous precedent. A person that came 10th can easily be declared winner and IMMEDIATELY sworn into office.
All they’d do is present result sheets and the Supreme Court MUST accept them no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!

That is what we are here mindlessly supporting!

Can’t you people see that NO MATTER WHAT the SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! This is also their country and they ought care about it’s future, They have a DUTY to EXAMINE the appellant’s documents and decide wether they are up to par and wether the figures therein make sense vis-a-vis number of registered and accredited voters. That, or they are setting a precedent that will gradually slide the country into a one-party state!

jimmynauty:


i blame his lawyers for not defending him...dont they have agents in the listed 388 units to obtain their evidence even if inec fails to give evidence. after the electikn meet your agents collectforms signed and store fkrjudgments like this which ihedioha failed to do

CanadaOrBust:


Ordinarily u might have a point. But cases like these are different - they hit at the very core of what type of country we’d end up becoming.

NO MATTER WHAT, the SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! They start doing that by thoroughly examining the documents in front of them! This is also their country and they ought care they are setting a precedent that can gradually make it a one-party state! They are removing a gov and putting in another based solely on a set of documents. Regardless of what anyone else fails to submit, they have a DUTY to EXAMINE those documents to make sure they are up to par and that the figures therein make sense vis-a-vis number of registered and accredited voters. That, or they are setting a precedent that will gradually slide the country into a one-party state!

jimmynauty:

a one garty state is not good but do u mean they ignored some doc to come to this judgment? if the sc judment was wrong ihedohia enhanced it by not submitting his form... evidence vs no evkxence worked againt him.

by the way what is the total votes of the 388units uzo won?
