What part of the bolded statement below do you not understand? It's already on plain English. Maybe we should translate it to broken english lol.

[b]The court held that Section 50(2) and Section 60(5) give INEC “very wide discretionary powers” to determine how it transmits or transfers election results.

“As I had demonstrated earlier in this judgment, the Electoral Act gives the 43rd respondent (INEC) discretion on how it carries out its assignment including how it transmits or transfers the result of election from polling units,” Umar stated.[/b]

When is the INEC suppose to exercise this very wide discretionary powers? Is it before the elections or during the elections or after the elections?

Every unbiased mind knows that the rules guiding or regulating an event are made before the event starts.

buckeyemedia:
Because you know more than the umpire INEC?

Keep deceiving yourself, it is your prerogative.

Just like Mmesoma thought she knew more than jamb

Great2017:

They can decide to use that discretionary power anytime they want. They have no laws binding them to use one all through an election.

This "before, during or after" was an imaginary rule created in the minds of deluded Obidients or atikulated.

Even the 25% issue had been thrown out by another court in a seperate case. 20million naira fine was also issued to the petitioner.

only a brain dead individual still believe there is a case in PEPT. Even if you import American and European jurists to come and preside over it, they can't upturned the the results of the election.

Obi's SANs know exactly what they are doing. They are only exploiting Obi's lack of wisdom to make as much money as they can.

This whole election tribunal is clear to a brilliant SSS1 student let alone SANs.

Yoighaman:
This judgment is a clue of what the outcome of the petition at the Presidential election tribunal will look like. I just pray Nigerians remain calm after the pronouncement, because that is what everybody is waiting for.

Endless waiting, nothing will come out of the case, it is merely a judicial and academic exercise. One sentence to finish it up is "Lack Merit".

I'm with you. I'm not sure what people are arguing against. Watching parts of that election on Twitter left me dumbfounded and embarrassed. Election officials literally put ballots in Tupperware containers and called them secure?

Nigeria can't grow or work if people are comfortable with it as is.

I am always ashamed of this country. How we use our own hands to be destroying our selves. No single love for our own land. But we are quick to rush to other people's country that worked hard to build their own countries.
How can we be arguing over trasmission of results electronically at this age? How? How?
Come on, Nigeria, come on!

The INEC guidelines were actually made by the INEC before the elections contrary to your partially laced submission.

The INEC even went as far as re-emphasizing their stand on this on both local and international platforms.

Sane Nigerians would want to know why the INEC used its guidelines for the National Assembly elections and then deviated for the Presidential elections despite both occurred at the same time and used the same infrastructure and technology.

If you don't see things from this rational angle, I am sorry, you are partisan.

Nigeria cannot continue like this as if it belongs to the INEC or you.

EcoNews:
It took Soyinka decades to realize no good can come from trading your own to the Igbos, soon enough the likes of Rufai Reuben Tundeednut Falz Simi n others will learn their lesson in bitter way

What pain me most is that,despite the fact that just 55% voted for TINUBU while 89% of Igbo voted for OBI,they still see us as Tribalists!

You cant just satisfy them untill you kill yourselves for them or become their slaves and praiseworshipping them

Omenlon:

Sorry, you actually feel your pains.

Yes, the law doesn't work with emotions. That is why Nigeria belongs to Nigerians and not you, the INEC or me.

The INEC must logically explain to Nigerians why it jettisoned its guidelines for the Presidential elections but used same for the National Assembly elections despite both elections took place at the same time using same infrastructure and technology.

Is the above based on emotions or a level playing ground for all the contestants including the umpire?

This is the court that normally ruled against party if they refused to follow there guidelines, Moreover,if ten parties challenges the outcome of an election in court,it is mandatory that second position should challenges first position,third to challenges second, fourth to challenges fifth etc.Some people are actually brain dead.

Just wait it's few minutes to go corrupted judges

BluntCrazeMan:
Since all these LP-People are more interested in the Section 50(2) and Section 60(5) of the Electoral-Act-2022 whenever they go to the Courts,, rather than paying serious attention to the whole of Section-64 which is even more serious than the Transmission itself,, then I wish them luck in the court..

Let them continue to wallow about,, until they are ready to do the right thing..

What do you mean

Fairness to these people in the south-yeast is:

Being in charge and control.
1963 - 1966 was the fairest time in our history when;

1. Nnamdi Azikiwe was the president.
2. Author Orizu occupied the equivalent of our present day Senate president.
3. Aguiyi Ironsi occupied the position of the present day Chief of Defence staff while 80 percent of the military officers around him are were from the region.

1, 2, 3 above is what Fairness means to them.

BluntCrazeMan:


You don't understand me.
Do you??


The LP-People would always go court without Section-64 which happened to be the ACTUAL APPLICATION of Transmission.

Thus,, how can they always go to court and be demanding for transmission,, yet they wouldn't present to the Judges the Uses of the same Transmission as required by the Electoral-Act..??


So,, when they are ready to do the right things right, they would have the true Judgement the seek.
If not,, then, let them continue to beat about the bush.

According to the electoral act,if inec chooses to transfer,they simply take it to collation centre.if they are to transmit,then 61-65 applies and inec chose both

The ruling is expected and fair,nothing like electronic transmission of results in electroral law,INEC is at discretionary to use any methods of transmitting elections results but Obidunce people will still argue on this....

onuman:

In other words, the Executive and the Legislative Arms of government wasted billions of Naira in vain making the Electoral Act of 2022.

What a retrogressive judge.

Appointment of presidents for Nigeria suits the Oligarchic rule lovers of Nigeria from where this leading judge is coming from. They have appointed an old and ailing Tinubu through Mahmood Yakubu, and they are ready to throw the Electoral Act of 2022 put of the window. They will hit the rocks this time.

With this,obi case is dead.stop ranting and whining

eldoradoxx:

The judgement does not affect the election case. That case was filed before the election. Yes, it is absolutely correct that INEC has the discretion to determine how results are transmitted, and INEC had in it's guideline mandated that in confirming with the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act, results must be transmitted. Having determined so, INEC can no longer change the mode after election has commenced as it will be similar to allowing the referee to change the rules of the game in the middle of the game. So that decision is right to the extent that INEC can only decide how to transmit result before the election, not after the election.

Nigerian judges can turn logic on its head in making bias rulings. No one had questioned INEC's discretion in making electoral guidelines on how election results should be transmitted, the dispute is whether INEC can change those guidelines after making them, putting then in the electoral laws that's approved by the national assembly and assuring the political parties and Nigerians on the implementation of these guidelines.
You can't change the rules in the middle of the game or after the game.

That shows that Peter Obi knows that he did not win

Mitsurugi:

Bro evidence was tendered at the tribunal where INEC vowed to do so both documentary and in broadcast. It became the least expectation of every party including the citizenry. No one coerced INEC into doing so. They chose it. They insisted on it. They didn't even deny this fact at the tribunal. It is curious and a fatal anomaly that they failed to adhere to their own guidelines in one aspect the Presidential while employing it to another, the National Assembly for elections held on the same day.
Don't fall on a sword for another. Is it a norm to just apologize for breaking your own rules? Where is the justice for those that are adversely affected? Why can't they do it again next time and simply just apologize. We must hold our institutions to task in this country to progress. My opinion.

I get your point brother. I am an international observer and I saw all what happened during that election. INEC failed on what they promised truly but what happened was so beyond their power/control.

You know there was a point they tried to move the results to another portal when the initial portal was overwhelmed? I believe they have learnt their lessons moving forward.

Unfortunately for you, they're all pre-election issues. Election Tribunal is only interested in how you can prove that you actually won the election or what really happened during the election that significantly and materially marred the integrity of the election.
