The recent judgements at the Appeal court are very disturbing.
Pre election matters are being used to sack the governors of Plateau and Kano state.

When it's against the APC, other parties are meddlesome interlopers, doing busy body

But when the APC is meddling into other parties internal affairs, it becomes justified

Is this not a calculated attempt to snatch this two states from the opposition and hand them over to the APC using the judiciary since it could not be achieved through the ballot

Ariwoola is doing wonder for Asiwaju and APC

Las Las na Judiciary go fast track revolution for Nigeria.

How about the invalid votes in Kano state you didn't say anything about that, and in the case of plateau state nothing like interlopers , it's a matter of pre and Post election matters according to sections 177 (c) of the 1999constitution And sections 80 and 82 of the electoral act 2022

Kano Case:
Section 177 of Nigeria constitution interpret party membership for election.
Here is what the law says as regards ballot papers not signed and stamped


"(1) Subject to subsection (2), a ballot paper which does not bear
official mark prescribed by the Commission shall not be counted.
(2) If the returning officer is satisfied that a ballot paper which does not
bear the official mark was from a book of ballot papers which was furnished
to the presiding officer of the polling unit in which the vote was cast for use at
the election in question, he or she shall, notwithstanding the absence of the
official mark, count that ballot paper".

From the above, the law provided a leeway to the issue of unsigned and unstamped ballot papers.

Plateau Case:

Of the truth PDP did the primaries and INEC tendered the evidence to that effect.

was there a valid primaries?was the primaries witnessed by inec?was the APC candidate part of the so called primaries??This is clearly a pre election matter that should have originated from the high court before the election and secondly,the APC candidate does not have the locus standing to challenge it as he was neither a PDP member and did not take part in the primaries of the PDP.He does not have the right to question another party on the nomination of it's candidate.

it's a pre election matter and should have originated from the high court.Bayelsa and zamfara cases we love to site as examples originated from the high court.The Appeal Court of justice lack the jurisdiction to entertain the case . Zamfara case was APC vs APC and it originated from the federal high court and not the tribunal, Appeal and Supreme Court of justice. The tribunal, Appeal and Supreme Court of justice lacks the jurisdiction to entertain it.

Can you blame APC? when PDP did not present theirself very strong...selfish interest divides PDP along party lines, Obi went to LP and kwakwanso to NNPP while Atiku is not ready to step down nor Allowed a strong PDP like wike to be a vice and even pretend to win the 2023 election first....now APC is rubishing them one by one.....

hehe that means according to the same section you quotes invalid votes is invalid and the case of plateau state go and read it carefully. Nobody is contesting about primary election nominations other party members has no business in that, in plateau state PDP as a party don't have any candidate in that election .

in as much the Returning officer don’t reject the alleged votes APC claimed it’s invalid, definitely it shouldn’t be presented in the court of justice. Supreme Court of justice will interpret it well to protect the law.

I knew BCM was going to be sucked by the appeal court and I said same to garfield1 but am waiting for the Supreme Court to do a u-turn &say a different thing with regards to a settled exco matter filed by a meddlesome interloper.
