JEGA disenfranchise more people than the ones who voted. I was disenfranchised. And the figures say it all. JEGA gave the North more voting strength and the South was disenfranchise. Its a pity that in modern time a prof would do this. These figures might still hunt the con3 if nothing is done, because from what JEGA did the total vote of the north will always be greater than sum of all votes from the south west, south south and East.

I want to ask my fellow engineers (COREN and NSE) recognized in the house; wat exactly is the function of these bodies? Is it just to collect their dues and organize conferences that will be attended by non engineers from different sectors?
How on earth can a barrister be heading engineering sectors (power, works and housing)? You may say let's give them the benefit of doubt but can we try this in health, justice and finance? We need to get things straight for things to move in the right direction.
A conference is being organized by NSE next week. The conference is suppose to be for engineers but you will see some ministries that will send other profession to that conference just because of the allowance attach not because they have any meaningful contributions. How will things work in this country if we don't put things in place?
The various profession should head their relevant field for the benefit of it and not for the personal gain.

Welcome to nigeria where stupidity is seen as a norm, especially from d most sophisticated tribe

U also have a dullard as president, what do u expect

GEJ chose a renounced professor of Mechanical engineering to man the power sector in his time as president. Now we have a lawyer for the same position.

That mechanical engineer now owns geometric power, the first indigenous power generating firm in nigeria n he's doing very well.

Wen I say nothing good can ever come from nigeria, no one gets to understand.

Bluffly:
I begi. This is a story for the god's. If the hardship will stimulate local production, let it be. So they want our importation to keep rising over Exportation. They are all economic saboteurs. Imagine them saying approval should have being sought from IMF, over what. Nonsense.

Ayo Turton esq is spot on this. However there is a 2011 case which i believed is the locus classicus on issues pertaining to where a party is deemed not to have a candidate. TALIB TEBITE & ORS V MARVIN OJIGHO, EME MUKORO & ORS, The case arose from Delta State House of Assembly Tribunal to the Appeal Court and ended up at the Supreme Court. In that case conditions for which a party can be said not to have candidate were stated using The Electoral Act 2010 as amended. It is an unreported case which i believe the legal team of Mr Darius can easily lay hands on. How the Taraba Tribunal arrive at its decision still baffles me. The judgement cannot stand rigorous legal onslaught, there was clear misapplication of the law.

Same way Saraki can send a representative to CCT while he continues with the work he was elected to do

Let's assume the process of the PDP primaries was flawed, did Aisha ask the tribunal to disqualify Ishaku based on that reason? Did she present the validity of the PDP candidate as reason for her yo be declared winner on initiating the action?

Revelation4:
Nigeria democracy is a joke, it's now you are saying his party didn't choose him in the primary, lol

Taraba State Tribunal sacks Gov. Darius Ishaku of PDP and declared Aisha Jummai Alhassan of APC (Maman Taraba) lawful winner of 28 March Election 2015 General Election

moscobabs:
high court or supreme court? abi na the same?

20pounds:
That will amount to an affront on the judiciary.

I don't want to know whether Saraki is guilty or not, but the CCT is really stting a bad precedent and I congratulate the SANs for having the courage to walk out on him. We need to preserve the sanctity and independence of the Jusdiciary.

Why is the CCT in a hurry to proceed to trial? Even a first year Law student knows that the right thing to do is for the CCT to suspend actions during the pendency of the matter at the apex Court. I am sure their Lordships at the Supreme Court are very angry with the CCT for such disposition, but if they come down hard on Justice Umar, the public(who are ignorant of the law) will say the Justices of the Supreme Court had been compromised.

Can you now see how external influence impedes the wheel of Justice?

agabusta:
But why are u guys castigating the CCT chairman as planned by Saraki's media team??

The CCT chairman did not give his ruling from abstraction. He relied on an updated Nigerian law which says such trial can go on!

Just that if a judgement emanates from it, it will not be executed until the higher court dispense the issues before it.

This from Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.

How come you guys are overlooking this and heaping loads of criticisms on the Chairman.

The defence of Saraki knows this! They are just trying to intimidate the CCT, appeal to the emotions of people not having deep knowledge of the law and entirely frustrating that case on technicalities and not the substantive issue.

cornoil:
Yeah Saraki could be guilty no doubt, but the CCT judge is not following the way it has always been with when a matter is in supreme Court, the lower court has to wait or respect the higher court. Saraki could as well lose in Supreme Court, why is CCT judge in haste?

chukwudi44:
Nope dear!! It is called rule of law!! The stupid CCT chairman should just wait for the supreme court to adjudicate on the matters of jurisdction!! What exactly is he in a hurry for?
