What’s luck got to do with it:
how Jonathan helped himself

He was only a candidate for vice president
then but in 2007, Goodluck Jonathan took
matters into his own hands — literally.

According to US diplomatic cables leaked to
the whistleblower site Wikileaks, and which
were made exclusively available to us, Mr.
Jonathan helped himself gain the vice
presidency four years ago by voting
illegally four times. The astonishing
accusation against Mr. Jonathan, now a
president seeking validation at the polls
next month, came from Edo governor
Adams Oshiomhole, in a December 2008
briefing with US diplomats.

According to Mr. Oshiomhole, as reported in
the US diplomatic cables, the court ruling
voiding the supposed election of the ruling
People ’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate
for Edo governor and declaring Mr.
Oshiomhole the legitimate winner would
not have been possible without
documentary evidence that, Mr. Jonathan,
among others, personally rigged the
election.

cable.

This is very disgraceful behaviour from rumour mongers. GEJ's name is not even mentioned once in the linked document.
So where did this false story come from, or are almajiri's writing news for some campaign offices these days?

Volunteers Key to Success in Court
----------------------------------
2. (C) On December 17, Pol-Econ Chief and PolOff called on the newly installed governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, at his offices in Benin City to discuss his recent success before the Appeals Court and the challenges facing his administration. Oshiomhole told PolOffs that he was able to successfully challenge the decision of the Independent National Election Commission, which had declared the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Oserheimen Osunbor the winner of the 2007 gubernatorial elections, in the courts because of the help of unpaid volunteers. He noted he had roughly 2,000 volunteers, who had worked at 120 polling places, and seven graduate students, who had systematically gone through ballots, result sheets and voter registration records line-by-line to produce documentary evidence of fraud.
Oshiomhole told PolOffs that it proved impossible to use forensic evidence because of the poor quality of thumbprints and that claims of intimidation also
proved difficult to prove in a court of law, but documentary evidence, such as proof that the "Vice President" had voted four times, for example, proved decisive in the courts.

team gej - no wonder the man said 6334 had failed

these boys need 12668

@u dey vex?: my friend what kind of games are you playing here? The document clearly states that "proof that the "vice president" had voted four times"

Jonathan is just not leadrship material.

I'll soon add a pic from the 234next page, you will see the difference between a functioning governor and a sitting president. Their difference in clothing, body condition (belle, skin, etc), and even facial expression speaks volumes.

Oshiomole's tenure does not end for 2 more years after a vigorous court battle yet the people of Edo can attest to his hardwork and dedication to serving the whole state. Jonathan has had a full year to at least start something concrete but no fruit appears to be forthcoming, only tonnes of promises.

Thanks oyb, was having trouble uploading the document with my phone.

heres the full pdf

I don't want to continue arguing about what is very obvious, not only is GEJ not mentioned anywhere, but Atiku was VP at the time of the elections. Even more bizare is the fact that neither Atiku nor GEJ would have voted in Edo state.
aside from the above, my eye also fell on this -

Oshiomhole told PolOffs that it proved impossible to use forensic evidence because of the poor quality of thumbprints and that claims of intimidation also
proved difficult to prove in a court of law,

I think the truth is being massaged by that article.

LOL

Where is Oshiomole to say all these thrash again?

Only dummies will believe things like these, and it seems they are all over NL.

dummies and m.o.rons believes everything.

Hilarious.
