His opinion , since majority on the bench have voted in favour of new election.
i told you all this in the other thread. Stop consoling yourself. The guy is 34 years as at the time , that apart the party still missed out the required 14 days period to subtitute him after inec gave them clue on his ineligibility. Or are you guys planning on another back door supreme court governor again they should let this thing go appeal court will over turn it and even supreme court will do the same. All this is hand work of buhari

a renowned failure that build second Niger bridge,a renowned failure that renovate all international airports in Nigeria,a renowned failure that build Port in rivers State, a renowned failure that construct Lagos ibadan railway and Lagos ibadan road, a renowned failure that give States bail out when about 24 states couldn't pay salaries for over a year.
I love this renowned failure.

Keep shut , a fool like u.
Do u know what presidency mean
is that an achievement for over 5 years??
When in history has Nigeria been this economically downward?? what's the security standard of this country what of employment??
do u just judge a govt performance from borrow and construct money that has jeopardized d future of this country.
Goats like you will come online to talk ignorantly and argue stupidly.
In 1984/1985 we saw how this useless buhari govt led us to a point of no return with tyrannical tendencies, hence, we warned u not to vote him in 2015. with. all this backwardness and disorderliness going on in this country under that incompetent illiterate president, u still have the gut to to say rubbish. u are better read than living.
u and ur likes are a disgrace to this nation.

I sent you a link....I don't think you have read it.

The APP in Kogi and Bayelsa took INEC to the FHC in Abuja last year and that they wanted the upcoming elections declared null and void..that they were excluded from the elections of Nov 16, 2019.

February 21 2020.....Justice Ojukwu upheld INEC's decision because the APP did same out of INEC stipulated time.

The matter was further dismissed at the Appeal Court by Justice Dongban-Mensem.

Again....Are you saying that a political party can pick a criminal as deputy, to steal votes from the State and INEC will sit idly by and watch?

One of the petitioners agreed that he did not meet the 35 years set up by the Constitution....should we then throw our Constitution under the bus?

Can that party now be said to have fulfilled all the constitutional requirements to participate in that election?

You brought out my area of concern.Thank you so much.INEC rejected the ADP deputy governor .The party substituted him but INEC refused to accept the substitution because it was status barred. The majority judgement faulted it possibly because it was a technicality or an attempt to frustrate the party and disqualify it from the election...I would be glad to see the reason the majority judgement has for accepting the plea of the petitioner.

I don't know how those Judges came about the fresh election thing. This is a pre election matter and the deputy governorship candidate agreed that he was below 35 before the election including the late period he was replaced by his party. This is clear na

The reasons for the fresh election will not stand at all. Also, the chairman of the tribunal nailed it all with his judgment. People are applauding the chairman's judgement everywhere.

From the information i gathered, Douye diri will swear in his commissioners tomorrow after screenings and bayelsa will move on.

two can play the game.
If inec doesnt appeal , fresh Election will be conducted.

As it stands PDP , APC should go and prepare for. Fresh Election, cos inec will not appeal

If I go wit ur submission then will like to say remove APC from the list, the best they could do is adopt another party's candidate. But really doubt if this ruling can stand the test of time considering it's a pretty election matter.

The majority judgement centred on the fact that INEC has no powers to exclude or disqualify a candidate. It is the Court's responsibility.
That was the majority judgement.

. It is clear now .The problem started with the re.ection of the candidate of ADP and refusal to accept substitution to contest. By implication INEC laid ambush for the party not to contest in the election The matter is not about days required by law to substitute a candidate but whose responsibility to disqualify a candidate from taking part in an election so as to provide a level ground for all contestants.It is the duty of the court not INEC.INEC can only raise alarm about somebody .qualification.

The candidate didn't refuse to be substituted.
INEC intimated them in writing that this young man doesn't meet the requirements.
They did substitute but it was past the 45 days as required.
INEC laid no ambush for the party. It is the party who is trying to ambush the situation.
Justice Ojukwu has set the pace.

This one is high on marijuana. Don't be surprised he is a "graduate". Even if you didn't do Economics in High School, you sure did Social Studies in primary school, to know growth indices. Is your GDP growing? What is the unemployment rate? Is it reducing? What is the poverty rate? Is the inflation rate reducing?....Products of 'sorting'...these are the ones very readily available for use by politicians....and they are more in number than the sensible ones...the reason why we are doomed.

My brother,you have finished it.I had this at the back of my mind but wanted to analyse it properly.now that you have taken it out of my mouth,I am happy...
The primary issue here is whether inec had the powers to disq any candidates or not.time and time again the courts have declared that inec has no right to exclude any candidate.only the courts can do that.it is similar to polling unit results when declared cannot be cancelled except by a court..
Therefore,the issue of whether that running mate was up to 34 years cannot arise...

Yes,they ambushed inec.inec or any other party could have gone to court to get them disq.I think its a little too late for that.

How will they go to Court before an election to disqualify a Party so that the Court will call them busy-bodies.

They were excluded but chose before November 2019 but chose to file the case on the 26th of February, 2020 for an election that was held in November 2019.

Did the SC judgement affect whatever they were to do since the 21 days post-election?

See......Justice Sirajo has made the case easy already.
You know that....its just that like the Alaibe case....you will fight on, and eventually it will end same way.
