Citytrend: He was not part of the election in the first case. Sad as it appears it boils down to a failure of INEC and other institutions to do due diligence most of the time and this is the reason we keep having people with forged documents and fake certificates aspiring for and taking public office. The infamous ex-finance minister was a commissioner in a State prior to her ministerial appointment and in both cases, she was supposedly vetted and certified by the relevant government agencies. Look at how she ended up. 2 Likes |

Just going through the judgement of September 26, 1979. It's novel. In this case, there is nothing to differ. It's a pre-election matter and like Rivers, APC shouldn't have even been in the elections, save for the last minute Stay of Execution procured from Port Harcourt. APC votes are dead votes. Hence, the PDP won all LGAs in Bayelsa State. Thanks mushystuff for your expose 3 Likes 1 Share |

Based judgment on technicalities is a disaster in waiting. Getting a victory through court judgment like this is a worrisome for the country. The candidate that has overwhelmed support n another one that completely rejected bn sworn in as a elected candidate is disturbing. From my observations Justice Mary Odilli has a passion for technicalities than others n there is another Justice I think Ekpo 3 Likes |

post=86634593: I’m nether a politician nor for any party. This is purely academic. How about if the SC aids and abetts fraud that is clear to everybody is fraud? What would be your solution? That’s why the Imo case is quite different from the rest. Notice in that case they said nothing about meeting “the required constitutional geographical spread of votes” because they know the numbers make no sense - the man gave himself 2 times the registered number of voters in some places! Then INEC literally gave him certificate the very next day, carefully making sure NOT to release final tally of votes (because they know they’d be laughed at!) 4 Likes |

How did we get here, where Elections no longer count in Nigeria and the power od the people to vote and choose their leaders has been destroyed. How did we get here that it is now the supreme court that choses who becomes governor and who doesn't with horrible unjust judgements? The vote of the Supreme court panel of less than 20 people now determines who wins elections instead of the vote of millions of voters. Dictator Buhari regime has finished Nigeria democracy completely. 2 Likes |

“These tribunal/court cases in Imo, Bayelsa, Zamfara, etc, constitute serious indictment of INEC and the political parties. There is no legacy that the present administration has bestowed upon us as a nation in the area of electoral reforms, but rather things have gotten worse. Having suffered electoral injustice in his previous efforts, it is shocking that the president has retained and continued to benefit from obviously flawed electoral processes. This right here is why I believe buhari does not mean well for dis country. The man is simply all about himself. It shows that his grouse with the three previous elections he lost are because he lost not that he feels the electoral process is not perfect. Even Yar'adua who benefited in 2007 acknowledged the flaws and tried to make amends. Jonathan after benefiting in 2011 also improved on them by 2015. Only for this selfish old man to come in 2015 and dragged us back to 2007. Even after the SC's pronouncement on card readers, he refused to sign a law empowering use of card readers in 2018. Another name for Buhari is simply hypocrite!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kwanza: All this grammer wey this lawyers dey speak, only one of them faulted INEC's incompetence, in saner climes, inec chairmo and all the commisioners are by now should have resigned... They are all criminals, they are just after there pocket, mr leon should just carry that yeye deputy guy go borno and hand him over to boko boys for suya. In my own opinion, a fresh election should have been called for while mr leon chooses another deputy to run with him, the people of bayelsa did not really want PDP candidate from the vote pattern but unfortunately the PDP candidate will meet the constitutional requirements expected by the APEX court. 2 Likes |

seunmsg: Inasmuch as I mourn for the ill fate that befell David Lyon, let us not forget that the deputy contributed in accruing some percentage of votes to his emergence. I opined that what affected him should equally impact on their joint ticket. That is why I personally faulted Faleke vs Bello ruling in 2016. Above all, it is high time we reform our electoral act to address all these lacunas and add credence to it. 1 Like 1 Share |

From the legal perspective,Lyon's votes have been voided,he never partook in election because he was unqualified on the basis of certificate forgery therefore,the candidacy of both him and his running mate has been voided.The court ruled that the candidate with the highest number of votes and the requisite constitutional geographical spread should be sworn in.The legal window to explore for Lyon's running mate has been shut on the ground of non-qualification of Lyon.I have just spoken from the views of legal practitioners who have spoken without ambiguity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

People don't learn from their master. A single nepa bill or any affidavit would have saved them this shame. But will this issue make the cow herder ensure an electoral reform? NO Didn't inec and apc verify the said result? They were only bent on winning the election instead of doing the right thing. 1 Like |
