Put your money, LP will destroy both APC and PDP in northcentral, kwankwaso will get more votes than APC in northwest 😂😂

You wey dey think say LP will destroy APC in Benue because of some few polling unit result 😆😆

Workch:
more Benue results

😂😂😂

Kwankwaso is going to destroy APC in northwest. Tinubu cannot win, 🤣🤣🤣

People wey get sense like me and the likes of Soludo knows Obi will never win the 2023 Presidential Election, but daft people like you no believe. You're so daft you even believe Kwankwaso will defeat Asiwaju in the North West grin

See one of your senseless post below grin


Workch:
Now imagine with 40% voters turnout accross board and Peter Obi getting 65% from southeast and southsouth combined.

That's about 7m votes already.


Even the person that will win Northeast and northwest combined cannot come out with 7m votes there. It will take a lot for them to close that gap

Then why did Obi not prosecute his case in that regard that he came first in the election instead of seeking for disqualification ?


Truly Obi na boy

Lol, you can't support tinubu and still have a functional brain. Peter Obi petitioned on several grounds including disqualification, cancelation of election and also banning Tinubu and Shettima from ever contesting again.

Remember USA are yet to congratulate BAT. Interesting days ahead.

I have just carefully gone through this Peter Obi’s election petition and I have come to the conclusion that Peter Obi is the most dangerous man in this here country called Nigeria.

Not only is he challenging the fraud for an election, but he is putting the entire country on trial for allowing a drug baron qualify to run and thereafter proceeded to rig the election.

Tinubu has for the longest refused to address his drug past and because of that, he refused to attend unscripted interviews and INEC and the Nigerian courts refused to disqualify him even when it was obvious that he has a drug past. The storm is now gathering!

Fast forward to “GO TO COURT”.. Peter Obi has now placed Tinubu’s drug records front and center of his petition by front loading the certified true copies of his drug related asset forfeiture as required by the evidence act and stating that Tinubu ought not to have been qualified to stand for the election.

The twist is that since PO is not the author of the said document, someone from the US justice department must be subpoenaed to be led in evidence to present the document in court and I am 1000% sure that the US department of Justice has assured PO’s lawyers that with a subpoena, they will fly in DEA special Agent Moss to come authenticate the Tinubu’s drug related forfeiture court documents.

Perhaps Nigeria is about to be jolted on an international level embarrassment that will be beamed worldwide. This was avoidable if Nigerian courts had done the needful by disqualifying Tinubu!

APC members of this forum should get ready to watch the DEA special agent Moss who arrested Tinubu testify in the tribunal about Tinubu’s drug past and we will assess how the criminal minded Nigerian judges will surmount that embarrassment and still rule that Tinubu is qualified.


You are among the few sensible Nigerians.

Shameful how people saw the evidence and kept defending rubbish all this while all through the election.

Let me calibrate you on the wisdom behind using his drug case among other prayers.

1) To show he is a dishonest man. This also shows he is capable of rigging.

2) To overwhelme Tinubu's lawyers so they have their hands full

3) If proven beyond reasonable doubt, he is a goner.

5) Obi is coming from all directions he is gonna feel surrounded grin

6) Bring the world to focus on this case grin


Exactly.

this is the best interpretation.

Stop talking nonsense.

What do you know about American Jurisprudence and law enforcement?. Have you even ever obtained a US visa in your life, talkless of a personal experience?. People who reside and daily interact with the system are telling you what gives, and some Tunde form Ogbomosho is talking rubbish from hearsay.

You could be caught with 10 kilos of any controlled substance in the US, but will come out with a misdemeanor charge if you snitch on your partners and substantially cooperate with law enforcement. This is clearly what happened in this case.

Why did Tinubu abscond to Nigeria in the immediate aftermath of his so-called “forfeiture”?. Can a forfeiture happen without a conviction?. You may wish yourself a criminal as president. We don't.

Olodo, Tinubu was charged, he forfeited in court and not by the law enforcement agencies. Olodo

You can't be in court if you have not been charged in the first place, hence Tinubu's case is a criminal forfeiture and not a civil forteiture.

You are the olodo lol

for criminal forfeiture to happened the defendant must be convicted.

The case could not be settled out of court and some of the funds forfeited if he was charged for the crime in the first place.

Tinubu was never charged for any crime, his account was freezed with a total sum of 1.4 million dollars as a civic Judicial Forfeiture case, but he challenged the forfeiture in court before he later decided to let them have half of the money.

You think US government will let a guilty drug dealer get away with most of his seized money ?

Even if he's civil forteiture, he's still criminal.
Civil forteiture is for criminals who don't reside bythr united States or cannot be reached by thr government as at the time when the legal process was happening hence the property will be the defendant instead of the person. So he remains a criminal that cannot be accessed

(Download) Supreme Court judgement that gave APC’s Uzodinma victory in Imo
ByHalimah Yahaya January 23, 2020 Reading Time: 1 min read

The Supreme Court last week ruled that Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the validly elected governor of Imo State in last year’s governorship election.

The apex court sacked the former occupant of the governorship seat, Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Read also: Imo Judgement: PDP leaders to stage protest

The court ruled that results from 388 polling units were wrongly excluded by the electoral commission, INEC, and that if those results are added, Mr Uzodinma would emerge winner of the election.

Based on the Supreme Court ruling, Mr Uzodinma has been sworn in as Imo governor while the PDP has cried foul.

Read obi petition to Supreme court is it based on figures?. What he presented is Just to disqualify tinubu after which Atiku will be given the mandate unless he can also disqualify Atiku.

He wasn't arrested.

Not charged with any crime

Was not on trial

Was not convicted

Was not sentenced.

They did not touch his money, not 1 kobo.

So explain to us the wrongdoing







He had two options...go to court and clear his name and own the money or forfeit the money...

He chose to forfeit the money because he knew it was drug money.

Not necessarily true. A forfeiture may happen after a defendant had been charged, which will make it a fine.

It's like bargaining for a jail sentence and prison. That's how America works...if you have a lot of money you can bargain with the prosecutors and go free. Tinubu paid the fine to get out of jail time.

If he was innocent and didn't operate a criminal account used to hide money for drug barons say the money was deposited to his account without his knowledge he wouldn't have bargained for the fine
