APC, SDP Kick Against Poll Result Transmission, Seek Leave To Appeal Judgment

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Lagos State have applied for leave to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should electronically transmit the results of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections.

Justice P. O. Lifu had given the order mandating INEC to electronically or digitally transmit results, following the suit brought before the court by Labour Party (LP) and its governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Although SDP, being an interested Party, had approached the court to void the March 8,2023 judgment, the court refused, thereby warranting the application for leave to appeal.
Also, the APC has applied for a leave to appeal the judgment by Justice Lifu as an interested party.

However, the cloud of uncertainty over the INEC method of result transmission has not fizzled out as another Federal High Court sitting in Abuja gave an order to the effect that the electoral agency is at liberty to adopt any method suitable to its operations.

In the suit between the appellants- SDP (and its three chieftains; Olufemi Olaniyi, Christopher Janet and Olatunji Ganiyu) and LP( Rhodes-Vivour and 18 others) pending before the Court of Appeal, the appellants sought four reliefs:

-An order setting aside the decision of the Federal HighCourt, Lagos, contained in the ruling of Justice Lifu delivered on March 8,3023, in Suit No: FHC/L/CS/470/ 2023;

-An order allowing the appeal against the decision of the Federal High Court, Lagos,contained in the ruling of Justice Lifu.

Is their right to do so

And they are right to to to court

No Party can decide how INEC will transmit results.

What sort of nonsense is this ejoor? I am beginning to suspect some people. Why would they reject immediate transmission of result? I feel immediate transmission of result spells transparency and anyone working against that may not mean well for Nigeria.

In a 21st century civilization, APC and SDP are against INEC’s BVAS, IREV and electronic transmission of election results? Why are these people this backward?

Don't they see how election are being digitalised today across the world? Ghana did! Kenya did it with their Supreme Court even recovering a stolen mandate.So why can't the ironic giant of Africa do likewise?

A glaring fact remains that, these anti-democratic elements can't win elections clean via the ballot hence they always resort to violence, voter’s intimidation, electoral malpractice, and sabotaging of the electoral hence democratic processes in conjuction with INEC.

BVAS should be modified to capture thumbprints for electronic voting.
That's the only way forward for credible elections.

They can never win in any free fair election. All these impunity is ending soon. Nigeria must be sanitize. Bunch of hungry desperate moronz.
