This are the type of lawyers that we have in Nigeria ..dumb people

Rochas son in-law contested the primary with his own faction
While hope contested with another faction ....then he left

Obaseki didn't contest APC primaries ...there is no case here
The spirit of the law forbids anyone to contest for nomination under two or more parties in same election or even start the process of being nominated by procuring the nomination form.

What is the meaning of double candidature?
You are a candidate of two parties.

Nwosu had won the APC Primaries in Imo State, but there were two factions of the party at the State level at the time. Sensing that the other faction had the backing of Abuja, he back-pedalled and went to the AA, and got a valid ticket to contest.

The SC simply said he already had a valid ticket in APC, hence, he cannot get another again.

Can you help relate this to the Obaseki's case being that he did not win the APC primary unlike Nwosu?

You better go and read about a certain Uche Nwosu and the supreme Court judgement.
Don't say you are not aware, it's about to go down to the last wire, PDP may not even have a candidate for Edo governoship election.

shorrop there - so because you buy Jamb form and you chose Unilag and before you wrote the exam you found out that you do not have the O level requirement to go to Unilag and you crossed it and fill in Lautech - and you got admitted into Lautech - then some yeye person will fault your admission process that you initially chose Unilag? guy - warn yourself o

my question is - how come those who want to defeat Obaseki are seeking to do so only on technicalities of something is missing or he did something in the primary’s process to edge him out? - why not defeat him based on his records at the polls? why not let his people reject him by voting him out? They do not even want him to be on the ballot - hmm na wa, All Professional Cowards (APC) party of fear fear people


it’s like you start a match and instead of shooting to score from a build up- you are busy looking for penalty kick by diving - it won’t work
real champions don’t go into a game looking for penalty kicks as a winning strategy - beat Obaseki at the polls, if you guys feel he didn’t perform STOP TRYING TO DISQUALIFY HIM FROM BRING ON THE BALLOT - that is a tired strategy- it won’t happen!

hmm APC know they fvcked up by the way they treated Obaseki but it’s too late - you have to deal with the mess Oshomole created!

instead of trying to disqualify Obaseki - try and repackage Ize Iyamu and good luck on that

Did he purchase two nomination forms?... No
Was he nominated at all for primaries?...No

He was screened out before primaries and he picked up another nomination form after the other was voided..

Read broad.

Oga lawyer, Obaseki bought APC nomination form, he even snapped a picture with it.
How could he have participated in the screening process without a nomination form?.
To the last wire, I don't see Obaseki escaping what's about to come.

He didnt buy two nomination forms at the same time... he was screened out of one before going for the other, he never participated in both primaries..

Which spirit of the law? Uche Nwosu was disqualified on the ground that he was a flag bearer of 2 political parties (APC and AA) simultaneously which the constitution forbids. According to the constitution, you can only become a flag bearer for only one political party in any election. This spirit of the law jargon is just the subjective interpretation of this jittery fellow.

Oga that’s not what the constitution states and also, quote the judgment of the Supreme Court with source to backup your argument.

Please before mentioning me try and read well, Samuel ortom contested and lost PDP primaries in 2014 before decamping to APC to become their candidate.....In Uche Nwosu case, he actually won the APC primaries but his name was replaced with Hope Uzodinma..he was disqualified because he was candidate of both APC and AA...

As if to explain itself further to the outgoing Governor, the Supreme Court elaborated on how the relevant law nullifies the PDP candidacy for their understanding when it elaborated thus:
‘The spirit of the law forbids anyone to contest for nomination under two or more parties in same election or even start the process of being nominated by procuring the nomination form.’ How does Gov Obaseki hope to escape the last clause?

This above statement needs to be looked into. If it's true then there is problem for Obaseki
That spirit of the law nonsense is just a subjective interpretation of this fellow. Anyone can interpret the spirit of the law to be anything but if anyone decides to challenge Obaseki in court based on the judgment of Uche Nwosu’s double candidature, the argument will be based solely on whether he has double tickets or not.

Can you help relate this to the Obaseki's case being that he did not win the APC primary unlike Nwosu?
Unless the SC has made another ruling, otherwise, based on this particular Uche Nwosu's case;

Section 37 of the Electoral Act 2010 prohibits multiple nomination of a candidate and voids nomination of a candidate who knowingly allows him/herself to be nominated by more than one political party or constituency.

Nwosu participated in the APC Primaries of October 6, 2018... wherein he was nominated as the winner and candidate of the party.

Following agitations from members of his party (especially, the Abuja wing), on October 9, he got a valid order from the High Court of the FCT (under Valentine Ashi, now late) recognising him as APC's valid candidate for the 2019 elections.

Because the Abuja opposition was stiff, he was offered the AA ticket, which he got without first resigning from the APC.

Now correlate same with Obaseki's and answer the questions yourself;

A. Did Obaseki participate in the Primaries of the APC?
B. Did Obaseki or his people allude to winning the Primaries?
C. Did Obaseki get a valid court order stating he won the Primaries?
D. Did Obaseki resign before participating in the Primaries of another Political Party?

There you have your answer(s).

I am not a lawyer but I'm better than this good for nothing lawyer.

1. Uche Nwosu contested under APC direct primary and won, hope on the side using APC wuru wuru they cancelled the team that conducted the primary and set up another one.
Another sham primary was conducted and APC sent hope name to INEC.

2. Nwosu shopping for Party while planning to move and at the other hand challenging his substitutions with Hope Uzodinma in court.

3. He moved to AA and contested both and primary and election under AA.

4. Court later upheld that he was the rrightful candidate of APC, at this point he has AA ticket and the rightful owner of APC ticket.

5. At this point double candidature.

6. During the election petition PDP held that Uche Nwosu being the legitimate candidate of both APC and AA should be disqualified for double candidature and the court upheld that.

7. The intrigue
The PDP also held that Uche Nwosu being the rightful candidate of APC and has been disqualified for double candidature hope Uzondinma has not Locus standi to challenge the election which by law he is not a candidate.

8. Guess what?
Voom supreme court declared Hope Uzodinma the winner of the election.

9. Originally:
PDP first
AA second
APGA third
APC fourth

10. That was the origin of the name Supreme Court Govanor

Uche nwosu case is far deferent from obaseke case.
Uche nwosu contest in APC and went to court on the ground that he won the primary and prayed to court to restrain APC from conducting another primary which APC in their usual way didn't challenge the Court case but went ahead and conducted another primary that produced hope uzudinma.

Uche nwosu was disqualified by supreme court on the ground that he is the authentic candidate because he won the first primary of the party which the party didn't clear or challenge the court ruling before conducting a fresh primary that brought hope. So having won the APC primary in eyes of the court and without waiting went ahead and contested in another party.


Continue to avoid the real issue and be encouraging yourself.

Did Obaseki not start the nomination process in APC?
