kingsways:
I see miscarriage of justice here ..


Is it not the same Court of Appeal that said nomination of candidates is a pre-election matter and a prerogative of the parties?


The most important issue in an election is: who scored the highest number of votes??

Someone whom the people have voted for and who scored the highest number of votes should not be disdqualified based on some flimsy reason as party membership because it's a given that the party would not have sponsored him if he wasnt their member. To disqualify the person who scored the highest number of votes automatically leads to grave injustice because someone whom the people didnt vote for and who didnt win would then be declared the winner

Bobloco:


It has never been well with support and encouragers of a notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture

Bobloco:
A pre election matter

Besides, what is the business of APC with who is a member and who is not a member of NNPP.

Is the APC not a "meddlesome interloper" and doing busy body over this case

Tinubu, Gandollar and the APC are hell bent on snatching Kano state from NNPP using the judiciary since they didn't succeed through the ballot.

It shall not be well with those who worked, encourage and supported this notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture to emerge president

Politicstoday:
totally dashed. So so unfortunate. That’s what they really ruled on today. Hopefully the Supreme Court of justice reverse the Appeal court of justice judgement sacking Kano State governor. APC just want to get Kano State by force. And when gawuna eventually won in the Supreme Court of justice, Kano State people begin to mourn. So so unfortunate seriously

it’s a pre election matter and the Supreme Court of justice will interpret it on what Nigeria constitution says on pre election matter cases

Na tinubu dey fight kwakwanso, he want to collect Kano from him because of 2027.

Nigeria judiciary is a disgrace.

Jostoman:
is it NNPP member that took abba yusuf to court or Gawuna is now a member of NNPP? This kangaroo judgement clearly shows say Na Tinubu dey fight kwankwaso.

Obiedun:
You are crying more than the bereaved(kwakwaso)

Jostoman:
you and your oga think we dont know that it was because of 2027 that using his judges in the court to remove opposition elected candidate anyway nothing concern me with their mater.

maasoap:

What happened in Bayelsa state four years ago, Mr Man?

Obiedun:
Shut up. You are a baby in politics. Kwankwaso is our boy. He is begging for ministerial post. Continue to disgrace yourself on Nairaland.

PDPdestroyer:
Na Obidients go wail pass on top this news. One would be forgiven for thinking Obidients are NNPP, rather than LP supporters, with the way they've been crying on top this Judgement

israelmao:


But it was right for former Senate President Ahmed Lawan to emerge as a senatorial candidate after having missed the time scheduled due to his presidential ambition?

Bobloco:


Why is the judiciary giving conflicting judgements

How is the concern of APC with who is a member of NNPP and Who is not a member of NNPP

BluntCrazeMan:


After the Supreme Court Judgement, I can have a good say.

As for now, it's still not predictable.

I just want to know if the Appeal Court saw it wise enough to uphold that only the ballot-papers that were voted for the NNPP were checked and searched-out for the unsigned and unchecked ballot-papers,, leaving all the other ballot-papers voted for the other parties unchecked and un-searched??

If they upheld that, then, it's an unfair judgement.
It is a targeted ambush.

As for the disqualification of the candidate based on non-constitutional reasons,, that too is also an unfair judgement.


What happened to “Litigator”.??
You deactivated it? Or you lost the Log-in details? Or them samma you a long-term ban??

fergie001:

I don't have the details but but I am still shocked @ ground 1.

VULCAN:
Seems this one has an overactive imagination.

Or perhaps he is just ignorant so cannot understand the import of what just happened.

APC has struck again.

This case falls under both a preelection and inparty matter which cannot be brought up by a third party and whose term of reference has expired

APC working hard to turn Nigeria into a one party state

Jostoman:
ok sir

ThebestPromise:


The law says for you to contest for an election, you must belong to a political party. Base on this fact, it can't be seen as pre electoral issue rather a fundamental requirement one.

The lesson in all these issues coming out from the post electoral legal brouhaha to me will be that don't be in a hurry to get things done rightly. APC as a party was aware that the probability of winning the election would be very slim hence they work through technicallites and focusing on a limited and modest votes from less contestous region and states.

Very unfortunate.

garfield1:


Disqualification of a candidate based on section 177 is a constitutional matter as you must be a member of a party and sponsored by them before being a candidate.
Secondly,there's nothing like ambush as far as apc stated in it's petition that they are challenging the votes and ballots casted for nnpp.nnpp had all the time to reply and prepare a good defence but failed to
