According to Section 136(2) of Nigeria's electoral act 2022, one of the grounds for petition is that the candidate declared winner was not qualified to contest the election.
Peter Obi (PO) doesn't need to come up with 2.7 million votes, he needs just half of that let me explain the math here:
PO claimed that his votes were given to Tinubu. For example if Tinubu was given 2 million votes and PO was given 1 million votes. If you take back 600K votes from Tinubu and give them, Tinubu now has 1.4 million votes while PO now has 1.6 million votes.
What PO needs to do is focus on Lagos, Rivers, and Benue, and prove polling unit by polling unit (PU by PU) that his votes up to a significant amount capable of upturning the election.
Furthermore, in order to prove that he met the 25% requirement, he needs to prove PU by PU unit in relevant states that the votes given to Tinubu were more than the actual votes Tinubu got.
So for example, in a state like Ekiti where Tinubu was declared winner with 67% votes while PO got 4% of the votes, if he can prove PU by PU that Tinubu didn't get 201K votes but actually got 100K votes, while he (PO) got 75K votes, then this means that Tinubu got 37% not 67% as was declared, while PO got 28% not 4% as was declared
It all boils down to what data the BVAS contains which can be corroborated by data from PU agents, and whether it was tampered with or not You are right but he cannot do that.there is no time to do polling unit by polling unit prove.buhari tried it within two years in 2007 polls and failed.obi in 2 months cannot do same. |

DatNiggaDaz: The courts have the liberty to give meanings to the word " substanstial non-compliance.
It can mean many different things depending on the intergrity of the judges.
As a layman , I think it does not mean further than " beyond reasonable doubt ", and that my friend, Atiku and PO have in abundance . Inec as a corrupt institution even made themselves an exibit in the whole rascality The supreme court has already given meaning to what substantial noncompliance means oga.I already explained it there.atiku and obi have scanty evidences |

Things have changed but you guys don't appreciate it. The results on IREV, inspite of the rigging shows Tinubu did not win. When the case starts, you'll start seeing evidence garfield1: The electoral act assumes that once elections are held,they are regular,free and fair to a large extent and that whoever has issues or complaints must prove it substantially.what is substantial noncompliance? According to the apex court,one must firstly prove that an election was massively fraught with irregularities in a widespread manner and secondly the petitioner must prove that he would have won or they would have been a different outcome if there was no infractions.for instance,obi must at least bring evidence voiding or affecting 2.7 mil votes,the exact margin tunubu is gapping him.proving that he won rivers and benue do not meet substantial noncompliance... Again,bringing online data of votes will take him no where.he must prove his case polling unit by polling unit and physically.he must present polling unit result sheets one at a time and bring at least one voter or agent from disputed polling units and he must demonstrate this in open court. Simply claiming that there was overvoting in ekiti state will lead to no issue.he must identify the specific units,match them with data extracted directly from bvas not inec server,compare them the voters register and not just dump them in open court.he must give live to his evidences.out of 6 months for the tribunal,1 and a half months is already spent.out of the 4 and half months,he can only get one and a half month to present all his evidences and averments.that time is not even enough to carry out forensics or recounts in about 3 states.bringing video evidences in a fraction of places or complaints in a few isolated areas like Lagos will lead to wastage. Talking about challenging tinubu qualifications,the apex court in akinlade vs apc 2019 supra per vivour classified them as pre election matters.was tinubu ever convicted and if so,has 10 years elapsed or not? Even if he was under a sentence, has 10 years not elapsed as stated under subsection d of 137? Is he a Guinean citizen and even if he was,did he voluntarily acquire it as per registration or he was conferred or born in guinea? As at the time of the polls,was shettima a candidate in two constituencies? Is fct to be counted as a state or differently? What is the closest judgments to this matter? What is the body language of the apex Court?

fergie001:
1. On the issue of substantial non-compliance, I don't think I have to add more to that.
2. On the issue of his qualifications, certain pre-election cases can crystallise to post-election hence the tribunal can handle same ONLY if it touches on the Constitutional eligibility requirements of that Candidate. The Electoral Act has given more powers in that direction wrt forgery. The question is who has the locus to challenge a candidate on submitting false document to INEC?
Simply put, neither Obi, Atiku nor any Candidate at this point have the locus standi to do so. The Court will try to see the merits thereof but simply put, they do not possess the jurisdiction to adjudicate on same.
3. In the case of the forfeiture, our Courts cannot sit on appeal on that issue. The PEPC will want to see it in black-and-white CONVICTION or CONVICTED. Conviction is a finding of guilt and then sentencing. His case might be some form of indictment and/or plea bargaining. Once the Conviction is not in plain, literal language, our Courts will not touch it.
4. On the dual citizenship issue, to add to what you wrote up there; Tinubu did not voluntarily acquire same but was conferred with the citizenship... "quoting then Guinean President Conde." Asides it been brought up past the initial 21 days, he that alleges must prove indeed he voluntarily acquired same contrary to Mr. Conde's claims. It is unclear if the passport is genuine or not.
5. The issue of Shettima's case is not whether what he did was wrong or not. It is who has the jurisdiction to sue.
6. INEC not transmitting results as positioned in its own regulations is the main ground I intend to see how it happens.
You need to get a diploma in law or something close. Talking of number 6,what is the proof that inec did not transmit results? What does transmission means? Is it transmitted to irev or inec server? It is even similar to the server issue of 2019 |

It is even similar to the server issue of 2019 Look at EA 60(5) allows the PO to transmit results as prescribed by the Commission. EA 62(1): says after the announcement and recording, the PO under heavy security will submit the election materials. These provisions seem to me to be manual. The EA never at any point upheld transmission of results electronically except in accreditation. EA 60(1-6) described the process of counting and announcement of results. S64(4-6) brought in the technological device wrt accreditation ONLY (the one in bold for emphasis), only if there is a dispute by the collation office. Even the INEC Regulations states that; 38. Upon the completion of the polling unit voting and results procedure, the Presiding Officer shall: (i)Electronically transmit or transfer the result of the Polling Unit direct to the collation system as prescribed by the Commission. This means that votes have been counted, announced then transmitted to the collation centre. What I am trying to say is that even the transmission of results does not overtake the processes of 60 & 62 of the EA. That I believe should be the primary moment as the INEC guidelines though having the force of law is a subsidiary legislation. In Nkwegu v Umahi, Wike v Peterside, the SC was clear that the regulations cannot overtake the provisions of the Act itself. It is clear there is some conflict between the Act itself and the Regulations and obvious which will win. What it means is if there is Form EC8A, alongside IReV, the better but for issues of nullification or non-transmission of results, I don't think that's strong enough. 2 Likes |
