Nigerians lose track of important documents all the time talkless of useless report sheets of cancelled election. That doesn’t warrant accepting outrageously defective result sheets and removing an 8-month incumbent based on them!

This is not a tenable excuse. I am a Nigerian and I have never lost track of any important document. Thats irresponsible. Just speak for yourself and dont bring Nigeria into this.

Hope Uzodinma did not lose track of his important documents which Ihedioha irresponsibly did. Thats why he lost in SC

Igbo vs Igbo - ipobians how now?

Stop asking IPOB daft questions! It's precisely because of this type of nonsense that IPOB wants to extricate Igbos from your shithole of a country!

Whatever travails Imo state is facing now is engineered, instigated and supported by the very evil 'one Nigeria' forces holding us down! This is exactly what IPOB means when they say Nigeria is preventing Ndigbo from progressing on all fronts!

In other words, kill, maim, kidnap Electoral officers, in fact do anything scare away people so that you can write the results cos once you manufacture the results, under Buhari, the Supreme Court will affirm it even if INEC doesn't want to accept it

Under Buhari, it's no longer One man One vote cos when results is greater than accredited voters, that means some accredited voters had more than one vote. Next level indeed

Bros, the thing weak me! All one now needs to do is use the intrumentality of state brutality (army, police and state-sponsored thugs) to disrupt voting....chase voters away.....write your own results....and then get a compromised/threatened INEC official to sign it off as the real McCoy! Adhere to this rigging manual and you're coasting home to 'victory'!

Basher8583:


Again I put it to you.. how was that difficult for Ihedioha's legal team and INEC to establish

It's one thing to establish the facts....and another thing entirely for the useless, kangaroo supreme court to take said facts into consideration!

XANDERBOY85:


It's one thing to establish the facts....and another thing entirely for the useless, kangaroo supreme court to take said facts into consideration!

Since you can call the supreme court a kangaroo court then you have spoken like a true loser just like Ihedioha
Don't worry... It will take several months for the pain to subside.

Correction: APC had the highest numerals entered on sheet of paper, not votes

That was why I said legally valid vote.

Politicians and lies!
IMMEDIATELY Omoboriowo was declared winner by FEDECO there was pandemonium on the streets, the worst riots in Yoruba history. At least 40 people were killed, with two law makers set ablaze. That’s what he is comparing to Ihedioha where Imolites were rejoicing en masse. Also in that case SC UPHELD the rulings of all the lower courts, not overturn them on the technicality of refusing to examine documents right in front of them!

Mr. Oshiomhole is also being dishonest. In those other cases the SC simply upheld what everybody already knew. Example, everyone knew APC held no primary in Zamfara. He knows fully well this case is quite different.

Never in Nigerian judicial history (or any authentic democracy for that matter) has the SC ruled against ALL lower courts AND the election authority itself in order to immediately replace a sitting governor with a 4th-place finisher - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the 4th-place finisher himself!!

All elections have errors. That’s why you have to keep the bar for removing an incumbent high. Otherwise anyone can come up with electoral errors or connive with INEC or cook up something (as in this case), and no elected official would be safe. To replace an 8-month incumbent gov with a 4th-place finishing appellant needs to be just about impossible. It needs to be backed by documentary and other evidence, totally above board, beyond reproach, and with multiple layers of authentication. Not some childish incomplete documents like Uzodinma’s, full of 100+% voter turnouts, smudges and alterations, and with only two parties’ results showing!
YOU DON’T DECIDE SUCH A CASE BASED ON SUCH DOCUMENTS, OR TECHNICALITIES OR BY NOT EXAMINING DOCUMENTS, OR BY PRETENDING NOT TO SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!

I’d only say the following to those supporting this horrible judgment:

Realize that what u r supporting is removal of your right to choose your leaders, no less. Which will inevitably lead to a one-party state.
To be clear, here is the precedent u r supporting:

A person that comes 10th can easily be declared winner and immediately sworn in. All they’d have to do is present result sheets which the Supreme Court MUST accept no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!
That’s what u r supporting!

The SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous, unprecedented decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! They start doing that by thoroughly examining the documents in front of them! SC does not exist in a vacuum. This is also their country and they ought care they are setting a precedent that can gradually make the country a one-party state. Here they are, removing a gov and replacing him with a fourth-place finishing appellant based solely on a set of uncollaborated documents supplied solely by the appellant himself. Regardless of what anyone else submits or 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 is how it is done! And that is why you’ve never had a judgment like this before!

why do you keep repeating that same gibberish? Are you an ihedioha robot? I thought we ended this argument yesterday by concluding that their decision was legally sound but morally absurd and that our electoral laws need revamping?

As for zamfara,everybody didnt know that apc held primaries in zamfara or not,where you there? Even the ones pdp claimed to conduct,where you also there? Do you realize that most parties do not conduct primaries but simply handpick and submit? Do you realize that pdp did not conduct primaries in kano and gombe? People protesting in ondo polls means nothing in court until proven that the elections were rigged and ajasin proved this.you have once again shown your poor knowledge of the legal system or you are mistaking civil cases for electoral cases.

As an aside,let me go a little bit partisan.apc lost rivers and zamfara painfully,nobody complained much.let pdp take the loss of imo in good faith.

When the affirmed the elections of wike and udom in 2015,that is what they meant

CanadaOrBust:


Bright? I’m only stating what is obvious. How is that claiming to be bright?!

But bros, try to look beyond the immediate and consider the consequence of what u r supporting:

Someone who did not even receive a single vote can connive with INEC, write any result they wish, trash all originals and voila, they are the winner per Supreme Court!

That is what they supreme court indirectly wanted via 2015 polls affirming wike and udom

CanadaOrBust:


My Man U keep saying the same thing and u keep sounding myopic and wrong. So every form whatever must be accepted no matter how outrageous and defective it may be?! There is a reason INEC and all the lower courts who actually examined the documents rightfully ruled against Uzodinma. You don’t replace an incumbent with a 4th-placer who has those kind of documents - error-ridden, smudgy, alterations, incomplete, with ridiculous figures, and only showing 2 parties out of 70!

Stop embarrassing yourself.read the judgments of the tribunal and see whether they faulted the documents

chrisxxx:
As a pocket lawyer, my verdict would have been legally APC scored the highest number of legally valid votes but have no candidate for the said election. On this note, election of Iheodioha is upheld. Case close.

No sir.both apc and pdp lost.it goes to araraume

Why cant you direct the blame to inec that are the real defaulters

Tareq1105:


In LAW 101 we were taught that the law helps the vigilant.

The evidence produced by Hope was not the same with AA and APGA candidates hence the differences in their prayers.

Hope Uzodima produced results from 388 units that he was the one that won and that he should be declared winner.

Ihedioha said the results were fake. Good, okay produce Original, Ihedioha could not.

At the end, the said fake results became Original because no other results were tendered either by Ihedioha or PDP/INEC from the disputed 388 units to nullify it.

This is LAW 101 my brother. You need original to prove that the other is fake.

Whose fault?

inec and pdp

This one is strong

and the tribunal judges who were apparently bribed by ihedioha

Nyesom Wike is a lawyer. The wife is a judge. Wike is one of the owners of pdp today, yet he has not condemned the supreme court over this issue despite his loquacious nature. You think he too was bribed by hope? Or he has turned a "zombie" too. Canadaorbust, receive sense.

Our judiciary is under attack.

You also know of another state Zamfara, where we won governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, Supreme Court said our primaries were not perfect, therefore those who were not on the ballot box were declared, so we live with that pain.

This is one of the most injurious and absurd ruling ever. What's the SC's business with primaries and why even declare non contestants winners. ?


Funny for the PDP, they are bringing up the fact that the new governor wasn't a candidate even though he was, but they are silent and unconcerned about the fact that the SC court ruled in their favor even though their candidates were never on the ballot.

Hypocrisy galore.

Yes.yes.i noticed that during the tribunal stage when the judges refused to look at whether ihedioha got the two third spread or not.instead,they went fishing for flimsy and spurious rltechnicalities to kill it.they claimed that the expert called by nwosu was not an expert,a senior lecturer of mathematics at futo for that matter.who then is an expert? One doesn't even need an eclxpert mathematician to prove the spread.at that time,the issue of nwosu's nomination was not in play.what will pdp fans like xanderboy,canadabust and nosryk say about this travesty

When INEC and Ihedioha refused to produce their own facts and their so called original documents to counter Hope's election results and documents, INEC and Ihedioha legally admitted that Hope provided the real and original results.

Or your kind of country and justice means people can go to court and win based on just words of mouth and emotions instead of legally binding facts and tendered evidence?

The problem most of the time is not the SC or Nigeria, people like you are the problem.
