It Is Grave Injustice To Cancel The Mandate Of Someone Who Scored Highest Votes by kingsways: 8:24am On Nov 20, 2023
Obviously the main aim of elections and democracy is to elect into office the person who has support of the majority of the people.

To cancel the mandate of someone who scored the highest number of votes on the election day is my view absurd and grave injustice as that would defeat the main aim of elections and democracy

3 or 4 judges should not have the power to cancel the mandate of someone whom hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have voted for

How a candidate was nominated or when a candidate joined the party is a relatively trivial issue once the general election has taken place.

The main issue, and indeed the only issue the courts should be allowed to determine, once a general election has taken place is: WHO SCORED THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES?

But tinubu was qualified abi? It's not illiteracy that made you vote for him abi?

With his fake secondary school certificate

Fake chicago uni certificate

Fake date of births

The hypocrisy you and your people have introduced into the Nigerian political world and judiciary will be your own undoing.

David Lyon scored the highest vote in 2019 and the Supreme Court awarded victory to Duoye. We shouted then but folks like you said we should shut up and allow the rule of law to prevail.

APC won the Zamfara state governorship election in 2019 but the Supreme Court again awarded victory to Matawalle of PDP. We shouted again and folks like said told us again to shut up and allow the rule of law to prevail.

So, what has changed? Was Bola Tinubu the president when PDP got two states they clearly lost through the Supreme Court? What happened to obeying the rule of law? Why are you guys now crying because of a precedent set by Justice Mary Odili of PDP?
Buddies, this is not the time to cry. This is the time to tell your PDLPNPP joint parties to always follow the rule of law during the nomination process. Period.

Now you want to talk about legal grounds without showing any concern about legal grounds in the recent cases. This thread was opened to complain about the court awarding victory to candidates that did not win election and you rushed to support the OP by saying “welcome to Tinubucrazy where mandates are snatched”.

So tell us, was it Tinubu that snatched the mandate majority of Bayelsa voters gave David Lyon in 2019? Was it Tinubu that snatched the mandate Zamfara people gave APC from governor to state house of assembly in 2019?

That is why we say ndigbo are an advance race. In ancient igboland, every gathered at the market the market square to resolve cases. Unlike the modern democracy where wig-wearing criminals determines justice, everyone would gather and everyone would be the judge in igboland. If you're guilty, they banish you. No single person determines justice. It is dispensed by the entire community.
The whiteman's justice system is a massive fraud.
