Obi should go and campaign for the president of the east. We are dividing Nigeria. He should stop this waste of time under a party with no governor or house of rep member. Which constitution is he willing to use for his governance. All these noise is waste of time, let him campaign as the president of the east not of Nigeria 8 Likes 8 Shares |

Peter Obi and the Labour Party just wants to cash out on this ‘Obi-mania’ affair. Hope they will not bite more than they can chew...they should not allow the Supreme Court to interpret the constitution for them o. 4 Likes

This is a silly interpretation that cannot withstand any legal scrutiny. Peter Obi is the candidate of Labour Party and both cannot be legally separated for the purpose of the election. Political parties are made up of people and as such, the law is applicable to all members of the party. Diaspora donation to Peter Obi is the same as diaspora donation to Labour Party. Obi better be properly guided before mischievous lawyers put him in trouble. 207 Likes 5 Shares |

seunmsg:I heard this opinion from many sources today including Arise tv and they all confirmed Obi as a candidate can receive donation from diaspora, even political party can but it must not exceed 5b & must be remitted to Inec after 21 days. So no law has been contravened so far & even if, the offense itself is not disqualification rather a fine of 1m. 47 Likes 2 Shares |

It's not unlawful. Anybody can decide to call for voluntary donations to whatever cause they are pursuing. Whoever has the capacity can make donations to the best of their ability. Then the organisers can decide to cash out big time from the donations made. 1 Like 1 Share |

Even his name Peter Obi is unlawful. What agbadorians can't do to discredit Peter Obi doesn't exist. I thought we needed more forex, now we'regetting it for free and Tinubu is complaining. 27 Likes |

APC hired Senior Advocate of Nonsense. They should come and learn. Labour party can still be funded without breaking the law. Nigerians in diaspora have been remitting money. Remittance is nothing new. Labour party should not open any foreign bank account. Those abroad that want to fund labour party should use a proxy. Get a trusted person that resides in Nigeria who is not a card carrying member of Labour party. Send the funds to the person. Those in diaspora can pay directly to service providers. Example: Mr A in USA can get in touch with an advert agency in Nigeria and pay them to place jingles on Radio stations. Ngozi Okonjo Iwela is in USA, she has USA bank account and Nigerian bank account. If Ngozi uses her Nigerian bank account to fund Labour party, is it breaking the law? With blockchain, you can never stop Labour party from being funded. All of a sudden, they are scared of Labour Party. A party that has no structure. How can you trace financial transactions of a body with no structure? No be juju be that? 25 Likes 2 Shares |

THE LATEST AUDI RSQ8 BEAST - 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy5mEchqFp0 Starting at: $115,595 • Highs Mega-powerful V-8 engine, nimble chassis, styling is more restrained than the mechanically similar Lambo Urus. • Lows Slower and more expensive than the RS6 Avant, brake feel isn't particularly confidence inspiring, not quite as poised as a Porsche. • Verdict The RS Q8 is the ultimate Audi SUV, but the most discerning auto enthusiasts recognize that it's not the ultimate Audi. |

The Festus Ogun who wrote this stupid legal opinion was called to the bar last year. If anyone thinks this kindergarten legal opinion is the correct position of the law, no problem. When the time comes, you will see the consequences. Let them keep collecting donations from foreign donors. Stupid Agulu thief collecting money as if he's running an NGO. 4 Likes 1 Share |
