Lol so the supreme court of Nigeria is now a joke?
NgeneUkwenu:


It is a fresh election....In fact in the eyes of the law...What took place in Bayelsa was no election because iNEC excluded qualified parties from participation....

So it is actually back to square one! Every qualified party will participate afresh including APC.

The supreme Court Judgment was a Pre Election Matters, but this is Post Election Matters, which only the Tribunal can try...

Two different things!

The Judgement Declared A Fresh Election And Not A Rerun, Therefore APC Has A Chance.

Good money awaiting the candidate of ANDPand the party to withdraw the case. The investment has paid off heavily.

You guys should note that the Party that just won at the TRIBUNAL never participated in the Bayelsa election in the first place. Therefore, a new beginning beckons. In other words, a FRESH ELECTION for all parties including APC

I don't even know the reason why the tribunal declared fresh election in the first place. Was the process that led to the election flawed? Simply order a rerun and allow ANDP to participate. This judgment will not stand

What is this? Disqualification that took place before the election is a post election matter? Mind you ANDP was given time to replace its deputy candidate but failed to do so. The judgment will not stand

If it is a fresh election, the same primary elections and and list of candidates and running mates will still be retained.

APC was nullified from participating in the election based on the ineligibility of the running mate to the candidate. Even if INEC will organize another election, that ruling still stands cos no party will be allowed to make any substitution to the candidate or running mate already fielded
Dear, let's not rush with making assertions, political parties may have the option of substituting candidates since it's a fresh election not rerun

Can't we make laws to limit all appeals within a certain time frame?

Why should half a tenure be used fighting court cases?

Sir you are the one that does not understand anything. A fresh election simply means nothing that happen in the last election really matters again.

If another election is conducted, Do you think APC is legible to participate based on the ruling of the Supreme Court?
Definitely No!

APC was nullified from participating in the election based on the ineligibility of the running mate to the candidate. Even if INEC will organize another election, that ruling still stands cos no party will be allowed to make any substitution to the candidate or running mate already fielded.

The only solution for APC to win Bayelsa State is to sponsor a mushroom party candidate to win the election and then defect to APC afterwards. That may be practically impossible using a mushroom party to win.

In short, PDP still remains the party to beat cos there won’t be APC participating in the election.
you will be surprised to know that the ANDP is an APC party. the moment that party won they will join APC.
Don't for AA in rivers State.

Ok...

In the meantime I thinks since the court has ordered a fresh election, sections 33 and 35 becomes valid. It clearly states the options available for APC.
This is so educating...

This is just a like a bye election...There will be fresh nominations from parties....and if APC fields David Lyon, they will simply replace the deputy and participate in the election...

The court didn't say what you just posted....What the court says is that there Must Fresh Governorship Election...or are you saying APC will no longer participate in Elections in Bayelsa State again?Help me to explain to him ooo

I know how painful it is for you to come to terms with the Judgement...But be rest assured APC as a party will not only fully participate but will also win the election....

The same scenario happened in Bauchi State not too long ago...and PDP just replaced their deputy governorship candidate then, and still participated...

So there is nothing you can do this time to stop APC...

Sorry!

Waste Of Money and Exercise In Futility!

Facts;

1., Mr. Governor, You Are Not Party To The Case Decided At Tribunal, So Your Appeal Holds No Water.

2. INEC Did Not Call A Single Witness At The Tribunal Trial, Thereby Messing Up Their Case.

3. INEC May Not Even Appeal The Case.
