HIGHESTPOPORI:
Very funny, separate tickets is now stronger than combined ticket according to you,OK have taken over the north

You yourself said Gombe will vote Atiku their son and by extension the entire north. So by which parameter has OK taken the north. If obi had 5% in Gombe and kwankwaso had 3%, does that not mean combined will get 8%

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Cos they were not on same ticket

Since they are on same ticket, they will pull a combined 8% they pulled separately

HIGHESTPOPORI:
35percent for Kwankwanso

Him and obi didn't see 10% in 2023

HIGHESTPOPORI:
They will vote their son Atiku

I know like in 2023 and Tinubu will get 30% . Nothing for obi

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Same way tinubu is non-existent without buhari

APC is the dominant party in Gombe plus all the major politicians are APC

Pacesetter123:
Ok..ooo,but I was just doing research on similar cases like this in Nigeria,I stumbled over some.
The one that was the most recent was that of Akwa Ibom.So,I will present that one here first,then maybe if need be, another one from a northern state would be presented too.
It might be a lengthy write-up,but be patient to go through it to the end.

Now,it happened that towards the build up to the 2023 election, APC had 2 factions in AKS just as what is happening in Rivers now.
One faction was led by Obong Augustine Ekanem backed by some party elders like Umana Umana,Don Etibet,DIG Udom Ekpoudom,etc,while the other faction was led by Obong Stephen Ntukekpo backed by party elders like Chief Godswill Akpabio, Victor Antai, Senator Ita Enang,Prof. Chris Ekong,etc.

The State High Court,in its judgement, recognized Augustine Ekanem's led faction.
And APC primaries election was conducted by NWC and candidates for election at all levels emerged.Among the candidates emerged there was rtd DIG Ekpoudom,the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial candidate,same Senatorial district that the Senate President is representing today.
The other faction,not satisfied, also conducted their own primaries and Godswill Akpabio emerged as the Senatorial candidate of the same Ikot Ekpene Senatorial district as the DIG in the other faction.
Meanwhile, Stephen's faction backed by Akpabio has appealed the judgement of the high court.
The Appeal court later gave its judgement NULLIFYING the Congress that brought Obong Augustine Ekanem faction to power and recognized the faction of Stephen Ntukekpo which Akpabio candidacy was obtained.
The INEC,which hitherto recognized Augustine Ekanem's faction based on state high court judgement immediately ceases to recognize them again.
INEC struck out the names of all the candidates that emerged from that faction in their portal and input the names of all candidates from the other faction.
That was how Akpabio candidacy was recognized by INEC and he stood for the general election with a PDP candidate,Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem and defeated him.

So,my point from the above is this;
(1) The Appeal Court judgement did not in anyway cancel the primaries conducted by that Augustine Ekanem's faction, it was the Congress that brought him to power as APC state chairman that was cancelled and voided.
(2)The primaries was conducted by the party national and was duly monitored by INEC.
(3)But during implementation of the Appeal court judgement, INEC said,yes, you were recognized before but appellate court has said you were not duly elected.
So,every activities, including the primaries you participated or received any correspondence from the national in that capacity as a chairman are now null and void.And that was how it stands as a precedent till today.
(4) Now,the Appeal court judgement has de-recognized Tony Okocha's led faction, don't you agree that all activities his EXCO participated including the primaries are now null and void and INEC will do the same thing they did to all candidates emerged from his faction just as they did to Ekanem's faction in AkS in 2023?

I like your analysis but the primaries in akwa ibom was indirect therefore congresses or factions has a big say. In direct primaries, all party members take part so the question of faction doesn't hold water. Again, the NWC sets up primary panels which conducts with the help of state chapters and submits to nwc.
In zamfara 2019, the Apc primaries was nullified because it was done by the state and not national. In 2023, PDP and APC substituted several candidates long after primaries and it stood. The supreme court said anything primaries, nwc has the final say. In plateau 2023 the appeal court nullified PDP congresses and primaries. Even the supreme court agreed that there was faulty congress yet it ruled in favour of Caleb Muftwang.
In rivers case, the case was originally about who is the real chairman and later about Congress. If there was no Congress, will it stop indirect primaries? The apex court recently said nwc or nec has supreme powers to remove any state chairman or dissolve any state chapter. I can assure you that the apex court will rule in Wike favour after all it is an internal party affairs which is non justiciable. A state chapter must bow to nwc

Gotocourt:
Says you, dey play na, check his last outing in the 2023 elections.

I am using 2023 results to analyze

HIGHESTPOPORI:
That's where Kwankwanso comes in

Kwankwaso is non-existent

Pacesetter123:
If the judgement has nullified the Congress that brought Tony Okocha to power,then it has everything to do with the APC primaries.
Judicial precedents are there which I can cite for you if you want.

You cannot cite any sir. Primaries are conducted by the national chapter and The supreme Court has stated this severally. All the ones you will cite will confirm to this... In any case, direct primaries took place which doesn't relate to congresses

Penguin2:
Na so!

Lie to yourself if it makes you feel better.

Obi is non-existent in Gombe

Penguin2:
And as usual, you do not think a serving Rep Member matters abi?

Remember that Obi won Nasarawa in 2023.

This guy doesn't matter, I know those who matter in nasarawa. Obi will lose nasarawa this time with Wadada in APC

Penguin2:
Structure go too choke for 2027.

Every polling unit in Nigeria will have an agent. No longer what happened in 2023 where Peter Obi’s votes was changed because there were nobody to protect them.

Game on

An unknown quantity sent to bury NDC

Barrister Mohammed Abdullahi will easily humiliate this featherweight
Adc should have picked Sadiq Abubakar or senator Ningi. Senator shehu baba in PRP will try. Tuggar can join NDC. Cc aminda,svoboda

Pacesetter123:
You keep on talking about CTC of the judgement every time, you show us the CTC of the judgement since the one others are talking about are not true.
Is the judgement not about the nullification of Tony Okocha led APC state EXCO?
If the judgement has nothing to do with nullification,then tell us the main ingredient of the judgement,else,stop attacking everybody that tries to enlighten the reading audience here about the judgement.

The judgment has nothing to do with APC primaries

Penguin2:
Unfortunately, his supporters are yet to smell the rat.

Tinubu victory is assured
This guy left APC because he lost primaries and you are here yapping childishly

SadiqBabaSani:
Tinubu' will be betrayed heavily in 2027

In favour of Atiku and Obi? So those defecting from ADC and NDC will betray obi and atiku

gigabyte13:
I listen to Omo Agege yesterday a supposed lawyer for that matter.....
What happened in Zamfara will repeat itself massively in 2027.
The APC set the trap and the opposition are falling into it with their eyes wide opened.
What a pity
Desperation for power can make some people do everything and anything.

APC has bot fallen into it but agege

Justnation:
Chinda of Rivers State is the number one victim, he and wike are sore losers.
Chinda was in PDP and retained the office of minority leader of the house while at the same time contesting for governorship ticket under APC is that not horrible?.

He resigned from PDP and joined APC long after primaries

Ofunaofu:
In the case of Rivers state, they are capitalizing

Opposition is not necessarily ADC, NDC

They are opposition in APC, PDP as well as neutrals

They cannot capitalize in rivers as only aspirants in APC primaries can sue according to the electoral act. Chinda was the only aspirant so it is finished

walozanga:
Immediately u used that word pattern and no legal backing one thing was clear.
Have a good day

The guy is correct

Ofunaofu:
Word on the marble

True but the opposition aren't capable of capitalizing. They are busy making mistakes

peleson1:
So now , party constitution has become lawas of the federal Republic to you . And courts are now subject to APC constitution?

Una just dey behave any how in this country.

APC does not have any candidates for now as long as it's okocha led faction,

Beke will submit his list and that is final

Stop embarrassing yourself na. The issue of party candidates has nothing to do with state chapters but national chapters. Names are submitted by nwc not state chapters. Why are you so stubborn

AMINDA:
Someone whose wall of quicksand is crumbling in his own backyard in the SW is banking on an imaginary wall in the North. What did the North gain for making him president when he was resoundingly defeated by Obi in the South? How has he treated the major Northerners that rallied support for him? Where is Elrufai? Where is Ganduje? Where is Kabir Marafa? Where is Kashim Imam? Where is Al-Makura? Where is Danjuma Goje and other Northern senators? Where soon will be Kashim Shettima and even Ribadu?

Is it possible for Tinubu to satisfy all the northern interests? Should I count northerners Atiku has dumped

Validated:
Cry if you like, the train left the station on May 30th. Chinda is a GONER. Just waiting for Atiku and Amaechi team to shake him up.

The matter is not justiciable boy. It is not a ground for electoral suit

Validated:
The matter is already in Court, so this is medicine after death. He violated the electoral act and he is a goner. APC has no candidate in Rivers. All the NDC should do is to join the case already in Court. This is a re-election matter.

Oga rest na, you no Sabi politics or law

Kalulu44:
You go explain explain explain you go tire

But he is right

SlavaUkraini:
This APM People will do wonders in the upcoming general election...

It is now very clear that Tinubu will not win Oyo State...

Atiku Abubakar will not win Bauchi State

APM will carry those States...

I see Seyi Makinde picking Bala Mohammed as his VP candidate...

Atiku will have less than 5% in Oyo. It is better for Tinubu as long as opposition votes don't go to obi or Atiku

Mrexcell:
Most deltans will definitely be voting for you but dont allow tinibu's tribal politics infect u, here in warri and other towns in delta am definitely sure obi will win it unless it's rigged cause most people here don't want to hear anything about tinibu due to his abandonment of important economic infrastructures like the warri sea port.

Tinubu will win delta south massively. Obi will win but not like 2023

MadPolitician:
You are now the constitution, abi?
You go to bed and you wake with all sorts of inebriated interpretations of the constitution, abi?

The case or ruling has nothing to do with APC candidates

Validated:
No so una argue oo for Zamfara until Supreme Court did the needful. Another charade has begun here. NDC, PDP and APM need to join the case at Supreme Court. Una go explain tire, no evidence.

There's no charade here, this isn't like zamfara. It is an intra party matter, another party cannot join. You have shown your political ignorance severally. Can you rest

peleson1:
Chinda and the r stvremain invalid

The law was very extensive on that .

In the eyes of the law ,they don't exist anymore

It does not affect Chinda or any APC candidate from rivers sir
