Obidiøts will support all forms of illegality and criminality, as long as it's against APC and those they love to hate. Very irritating people

when you disobey court orders just because you feel you're above the law, soon, it will come to bite your azz. No one is above the law, not even the judges. As they say, justice is slow but sure.

Mr Jaafar Jaafar PDP doesn't have candidates in 2023 general election in plateau state, it happens in zamfara state in 2019 where all elective position won by APC were sack including the governor . In Kano state invalid votes remain invalid according to sections 163 of the electoral act 2022 . this is very simple logic.

oh yes.

Passing blame as usual

APC helped PDP to win Bayelsa election. It also helped bala Mohammed of PDP to win the appeal in Bauchi state governorship.
It also helped Seyi makinde of Oyo state PDP, Governor Alex otti of LAbour party Abia State, PDP governor Mbah of Enugu state, PDP governor Eno of AkwaIbom State, PDP Governor Sheriff of Delta state, PDP governor Kefas of Taraba state and other.

APC helped them all.

We on the Plateau knows better than you. Therefore, put sentiment aside and read the true copy of the judgment. Indeed, there was no justice to some members of the PDP and that emanates to two faction.

Then what is it. You cannot build something. On nothing. You cannot get elected through manipulation or dubious means. All loopholes must be exploited. You must build structures and do your home work well. Every i mist be dotted otherwise your opponent will exploit though you may score majority votes.

To headless mobs, APC's victory will always be a danger to democracy but whenever APC's victories were annulled, democracy is at its best. I could recall Diri, after his recent victory, he praised Nigeria's democracy to high heavens. Take wailers seriously at your own peril.


did the sacking of these guys happen in 2023? When will you guys be sensible in your arguments? The guy talked about what is happening recently.

Absolute nonsense! I just wonder why we all keep acting like democracy is all about the people alone. If that were to be so, then it would be a tyranny by the majority and not a democracy.

Yes, democracy is a system where the people have a say in their government. But it is not just about getting the most votes; it's also about following the rules that keep the system fair. These rules, set by the law, apply to political parties and the public. Infact without these laws, there cannot be a democracy.

In democracy, everyone must play by the rules. The laws make sure elections are fair, candidates and parties act responsibly, and any issues are resolved fairly. It's not just about winning votes; it's about winning them the right way – following the law, being transparent, and treating everyone equally.

When rules are broken, the legal system steps in to protect democracy. Courts have the power to review elections and make sure they were done correctly. Even if a candidate gets the most votes, if they didn't follow the rules, a court can step in to make things right and sometimes making things right might involve overturning an election or overruling the "will of the majority."

Think of democracy as a song where votes make the music, and the rule of law keeps everything in tune. Both parts – the people's voice and the legal framework – are crucial. Together, they create a government that truly represents and serves the people, sticking to the principles of fairness and justice that make democracy work.

So let us not keep acting like the courts are doing anything untoward by over turning election results. That is a normal and acceptable part of democratic best practice anywhere in the world. Elections do not always end at the end of the ballot. Where the results are disputed, parties are required to approach the courts for justice. The alternative to this provision of democracy is a descent into anarchy and I do not think we want that.
