Is Wole a judge?
Or a JSC?

If he was, let him go and put Faleke in Kogi nah or better still, let him go and put Lyon there.

Whether I hate Sylva or not....I don't sit on the SC bench.

It's a dead case. Having known you for quite some time..what matters to you is APC...how they do it, you don't care.

Unfortunately, it didn't work this time.

Falana clearly said forgery wasn't proved.right fro m 2007 amaechi case when a party candidate is disqualified,the runner up takes over.it happened in anambra central and north,joy emordi was involved and okonkwo,cant remember others.ill recall others as time goes on.
ameachi was only reinstated as the legal candidate. Ameachi was not a runner up.


Amaechi, as a member of PDP, in his quest to be the Governorship candidate of the party, in the April 2007 elections in Rivers State, contested the Party Primaries against seven other members of the PDP. They competed for a total of 6,575 votes. Amaechi had 6,527 votes to emerge the winner. Omehia was not one of the candidates at the PDP Primaries. The PDP submitted Amaechi's name to INEC as its Governorship candidate. No court of law subsequently made an order disqualifying Amaechi from contesting the Governorship elections. PDP however substituted Omehia's name for Amaechi's without giving cogent and verifiable reason for the substitution as required by the Electoral Act, 2006. Amaechi therefore brought his suit claiming as earlier stated above.

What is it then
Re: Bayelsa Election: Falana Says Supreme Court Is Wrong, Lacks Jurisdiction by Judeerons32: 9:32am On Feb 23, 2020
The appeal against the Appeal Court judgement was filed after results of the election has been declared.that is Falana argument. That at that point it automatically becomes post election.the case was not at the Supreme Court during the election.
Secondly as a matter of fact by the electoral law.the courts or tribunal do not have the powers to declare a winner if the actual winner was disqualified.
But the truth is the law is only what the Supreme Court interprets it to be however myopic.
fergie001:

This is a pre-election issue.

Note, the SC does not have the power to call for a re-run or nullify an election, unless it has originated from a lower court.

Just like you never believed Lyon will be removed.

And APC hasn't?
I laugh at your partisanship-fiasco. It's your right.

But the law knows no party. Sorry about Lyon.

Set aside precedents based on which law? Do you realize that their judgment can also amount to a nullity
The law setting them up.

There is something you guys is not getting.

The law is not what the president signs but what the court interprets it to be. If the SC decides to change a portion of our electoral act all they need to do is to set a new precedent.

The law becomes binding.

You can never fault the judgement of the SC even if it runs foul to the extant laws and you cant force them to reverse themselves.

For me, Bayelsa judgment is apt and the SCN has the jurisdiction to entertain the case
Re: Bayelsa Election: Falana Says Supreme Court Is Wrong, Lacks Jurisdiction by Nobody: 9:36am On Feb 23, 2020
Dansuqi:


Then falana is right at the bolded.apc appealed before the election to the appeal court.that appeal judgment stands
the appeal court should have dismissed the appeal allowing judgement of high court to stand because subsequent event already made it a preelection matter if we go by falana.


but the legal precedent suggest the case should be allowed

you should remember APC only got an injunction from the 'appeal court" to participate in the election few days to election.
appeal court delivered their judgement after election .


the judgement did not remove the governor but you cannot go into an election without a deputy. since inec window for substitution of candidates is over; it means Lyon went into the election without a deputy which is also against the Constitution on joint tickets.


falana is no longer thinking properly.

1. the only judgement before election was that of the high court disqualifying APC.
2. APC only got an injunction to participate in the election.
3. appeal court delivered it judgement after election.

4. legal precedent said pre election cases are allowed to run their course in Nigeria court even after election.

its wrong to be very myopic

No,a fresh elections should have been called with apc not partaking as a worse case scenario.in 2015,the appeal court removed two apc senators in kogi and ordered a fresh polls with apc excluded.in 2016 umeh got a judgment which excluded pdp and a fresh elections was ordered in obedience to section 140 of the electoral act.this year during the rerun polls of january,apc was excluded from a rerun in niger state for not validly nominating a candidate

State the electoral act that supports the removal of an elected governor because his deputy wss disqualified?

Yes, it does because the Appeal court already passed a judgement in favour of the APC before the election.

Uncle lawyer, section 36 deals with the death of candidate before election result is announced not fraud related issues.

Please state the laws that backed the removal of the governor because his deputy was found to have presented a fake or misleading document.

And Sir, the Appeal at the supreme court only came after the election

I hope you understand that the Judges made a technical error not referring the case to the special court for election matters ( Tribunal) ?

The person you quoted is a charge and bail lawyer.

Imagine referring to section 36 that deals w death of a candidate

the election is not in dispute. the dispute was whether APC should participate in the first place; see the case of zamfara.

Channel this your high level of arrogance to Falana who has chide the supreme already; since you know more better than him.
Nonsense
80% of falana's judicial comments is against the government.he took up cases even against the government severally.no lawyer in Nigeria has criticized buhari like falana.the only time he ever represented buhari was in 2015.for him to now speak in favor of apc,what does that tell you
