Osun Tribunal: What The Law Says In Case Of Over Voting (picture) by Penguin2: 9:51pm On Jan 27, 2023
The lead judgment of the Osun Tribunal was hinged on over voting.

But what did the 2022 Electoral Act say about over voting?

Read the provision of the Electoral Act on over voting as captured in section 51 and decide for yourself if justice was truly served in Osun or not.

See, the Tribunal Chairman based his evidence on the BVAS report which is a secomdary evidence rather than the primary evidence, the machine itself.

What about the voter's register.... Useless to Justice Kume.

One of two things will happen at the Appeal Court, either it is upturned or a retrial will be ordered but since there is no time, it should be upturned.

It is funny....just take a look at the majority judgement and tell me you wouldn't laugh.

This is what am saying concerning the presidential election.
Nigeria politics is like a cacus if the want you to join their group they will let you join if they don't want you you can never join no Matter how popular or influential you think you are.
Yes obi is a good candidate for the president seat but he can never beat asiwaju this election. Lai lai it will never be possible.
Peter obi is just like a church rat in front of Tinubu when it come to politics
Tinubu is more powerful Among the politicians
Tinubu will surely win the election take it or leave it

When I saw the “Go lo lo lo” and “Buga won” references, it dawned on me that the judgment was written and given to Justice Kume to read.

I cannot, and will never believe, that a Judge who is from Benue and does not understand Yoruba, will be making reference to a Yoruba line in a song in the most trivial of manners for a case as serious as the mandate of the generality of Osun people.

I’m ashamed that something like this can still happen now, when we thought our judiciary was beginning to get things right.

I’m no longer surprised how Akpabio and APC governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom got their judgments.

All this you stated is INEC guideline itself, I don’t think it is binding on the court decision.

That is what INEC should have done themselves so don’t conflict the two.

You can see they are mentioning the presiding officer and etc. Check your screenshot well.

provisions of subsections (2) and (3) the Commission may, if satisfied that the result of the election will not substantially be affected by voting in the area where the election is cancelled, direct that a return of the election be made.

INEC the commission already declared their result. How this one take concern the court and the judgement at hand?

. I have perused the judgement and the only thing that is funny there is "lo lo lo Buga win' Apart from that the judgement is in order. Oyetola went to court to prove overvoting and non compliance with electoral laws. The majority judges were fully convinced that he proved his case beyond the reasonable doubt. The electoral laws state that in a case there are overvoting and non compliance all the results in the affected polling units must be cancelled. In my opinion it was INEC that created issues in the Osun election by issuance of CTC results of the election that contained overvoting and irregularities. As for the forgery the TB confirmed forgery but claimed Adeleke still has o level result though it certicate is questionable for nobody will issue certificate for a result with F9 all round. APC will challenge this forgery conclusion at the AC and the entire minority judgement too.

INEC should have done Justice to this before declaring winner and that is what the amended law says.

So I don’t know why OP is citing a law that is not even the bone of contention when INEC should have already did that before getting to court.

Law talk say make INEC themselves cancel in area where there is over voting. INEC no do anything, declare winner, and Oyetole took them to court.

Listen the 1999 Constitution and indeed the Supreme Court have said in very many decided cases that INEC reserves the rights to issue guidelines provided it doesn't controvert the Electoral Act itself.

Why do you need a voter's register as part of your accreditation? Don't you know it is in INEC guidelines and not a product of the Electoral Act? In the Electoral Act 2010, voter's register was the fulcrum of accreditation whilst BVAS was in the guidelines, in this new Act, it is different.

Accreditation is a product of the BVAS machine and not the report. Since INEC issued a report and issued another updated one, on what premise did the 'learned' Justice Kume accept the first and throw away the second?

Refusal to attach the voter's register in itself is questionable or don't you use it during voting?

What the tribunal is saying is that since Voter's Register isn't needed for over-voting, it should likewise not be needed for accreditation...Isn't it?

. The TB reserves the right to adjudicate on an election matter, cancel result. and return winner on behalf of INEC especially where there is no possiblity of rerun after manipulated results have been cancelled.

Check section 136 subsection 3


“It is remarkable to note that the petitioners did not controvert the exhibit RBVR series and the report of physical inspection, that exhibit RWC, they stand unchallenged and I so hold.

“Exhibit RWC is a document made from the time resources which are the machines used on the Election Day. The exhibit on RWC are in existence and were there on the machine date of election. Section 64 sub 4,5 and 6 of the electoral act recognized BVAS machines itself as a key material to be used in collation of result and in resolution of any dispute arising therefrom.

“The petitioners are not saying that the entries on exhibit RBVM series which is the machine itself are not same as the entries in exhibit RWC, their grouse is that since exhibit RWC came from the same first respondent it will be not be allowed to stand in view of the discrepancies of figures in them via-a-vis the entries.

“In view of the following I hold that exhibit BVR is a product of inadequacies and can not be the best evidence for the determination of the accurate number of accredited voters on 16th July 2022 election. The same is true of exhibit RBVR the best evidence to that regard is RBVL, 1-119 down to RBVL 1-59 used in the polling units under contest and I so hold.

“Voters register can’t be ruled out.”

INEC issued a result and ratified it. The body represented by Anaba SAN even agreed that there were overvoting in 1539 polling units. Who would reject the CTC results from INEC? Can syncronization fill in the vacuum? Is syncronization in our electoral laws? The majority judgement is in order.My opinion anyway!
