But all parties are expected to work under the same electoral law, therefore if an electoral malpractice was committed by APC and the party is trying to cover it up but another party presents it before the SC (who is supposed to be unbiased), why is the SC turning deaf ears & blind eyes to the glaring evidences presented before her and behaving as a stooge of APC shocked
Like he said;
You cheat on your husband..
Your husband overlooked it..
Then one of your neighbor stood up to challenge you..
Does it sounds normal to you? What’s his own business between what’s happening in your household?

Learn from reality ma’am..

After reading through the judgement I came to the conclusion that the Supreme Court actually agreed that the case brought before her was a valid case, however, since the PDP has no locus standi in the case, that is to say they do not have the right to bring up the case to the court since the case is APC's. The case was dismissed.

OK, so for me, the lesson in this case is that, if, assuming, a husband kills his wife and the family of the wife refuses to take the case to court, it means that outsider can not take the case to court to seek justice. Is this the precedence the Supreme Court is setting?

I really need a little schooling here. Maybe I should go back and study the electoral laws.

That is what it means, a party can engage in illegality, so long no one from the party complains or go to court, that illegaliy will stand. It is a very bad precedent.

If it was media propaganda, so what is the duty of a lawyer paid to execute a case?

It means that they are not savvy enough to handle matters like this.

Using an example of a murder case is taking it too far. Double nomination is like taking two meats from the pot, if none of your family member has no problem about it, what is the business of your next neighbor to come inside your house to accuse you?
Very funny, but a good answer.

His sole duty is to receive credit alert!

That’s how lawyers do! It’s their time to make money!

So then we’re now entering the realm of questioning the integrity and trustworthiness of the candidate! Anyone outside his party is well within their rights to insist such a person does not export his intransigence and disdain for the rule of law from his party on to the national stage as Vice President! That’s where the locus comes in!

That is the problem with them. If they go through the INEC timetable they will know that before APC send Shettima’s name as the VP candidate, the list for senatorial candidates has been submitted a week before and Borno state have 3 candidates already and he’s name is not there.
I wonder where they see double nomination. LP/Obi include it in their petition.

No lawyer will tell you that your case is bad. They’re out to make money all they will tell you is that you have 50/50 chance. More like gambling.

If you look at those going to court with all this frivolous cases, they’re people who’ve stole government money. Imagine me and you now going to court to start a case like this and we pursue it to the supreme court. It will cost nothing less than 50-70 million Naira just gone down the drain.

LP has locus because they instituted it after election making it a post election matter. It is one of the grounds to disqualify a winner in the presidential election petition
seanfer:


The Electoral Act 2022 stipulates that only a party member who participated in the primary can sue the party on how nomination was done.
Your example of husband killing his wife is not same as this section of electoral act, criminal act is different.
As it stands today LP and PDP just lost one of their prayers in their petition about double nomination, reason been that they don’t have locus standi and it is pre-election matter.

This is the precedent on that particular prayer at the election petition tribunal.
Also as at the time of the election Shettima was contesting for as VP candidate alone and not as a senatorial candidate. Case close.

Illegality is when something is done against the established Law.. who determines is something has been illegally done? The Courts!
So if the Court concludes that there's was no illegality in the nomination of Shettimma then it is mischievous for anyone to call it illegality.

I hope you will give him money to pursue the case ? I don't know how hatred for someone you don't have personal dealings with can make you people go to this length. It shows you know Tinubu is the best but you just want his downfall because he's Tinubu.

For your information, Amaechi can institute the case if he still have some millions to lose because that case is already status barred and you can't institute a pre-election case after the completion of the election.

2. The court already ruled that there's no double nomination in Shettima's case because his nomination as a senatorial candidate was duly withdrawn before his nomination as a VP candidate

3. Any further suit on that matter will attract a very heavy fine from the high court up to the Supreme court.


Tinubu's presidency is ordained by God and no amount of scheming can prevent that
