Ehn?

You will wail endlessly because pdp is never ruling Edo ever

MichaelSokoto:
iffa slaaaaap u ehn!

Engineerboat, I complained about the media attacks and bias against the governor and you dismissed it. Can you now see the amount of rubbish going to FP against the governor? Cc fergie001

Bizibi:
this is not media propaganda,the situation is dicey for em. It depends on how presidency plays this.

Nothing is dicey. PDP witnesses fumbled their case

Endowedstories:
God is at work.
The stolen mandate must be recovered.
Victory is sure for PDP/Asue Ighodalo.

The case is dead

osaosa72:
APC is going to mess up in court because they have nothing to offer....

PDP already messed up

ElevationD:
Ahh?

From my investigations, the witnesses stated that the so called results where cancelled by inec. The judges even scolded pdp lawyers. PDP should stop the propaganda and cut and join reports

ElevationD:
Let’s wait and see, as I always say.

But once they lose, you must not argue with me again. You must follow any predictions I give
Agreed?

ElevationD:
Why then did he retract when he was reminded that he was under oath?

Ignorance is a disease? Maybe you can charge a criminal to the election Tribunal

Bergavis:
You should be ashamed of yourself. Your credibility has diminished and people no longer take you seriously. The name Akpakomiza2 clearly depicts your character. Worthless.

You should be ashamed of yourself for pushing falsehood. Asue has failed and will keep failing. Propaganda minnion

osothermal:
yes it happened . Everyone burst into laughter when the guy who initially lied , retracted his statement when he was reminded the implications of lying under oath

And he went ahead to say that those units where long cancelled by inec and excluded. The judge even scolded your party

idahme:
If you lie under oath it is called perjury, they can institute perjury against the witnesses.

At the normal courts not tribunal

idahme:
Who made him popular? Una dey cap sha

He was voted more than Asue

osothermal:
you don't know anything

Lol.. I know more than you

Ihengwu:
Imagine the shameful manner Adams fiercely celebrated this declaration still gives me nightmares. And he new what he has cooked.

So the way Obaseki imposed Asue is not shameful

ElevationD:
What if PDP wins it?

I am very sure they won't win. I am a veteran of election matters. But they can win at the tribunal just like Oyetola and lose at supreme

Prince111111:
you are funny my brother it's like you have problems with my able and performing Governor😄

I already told you that adeleke will win next year and same indices shows that Okpebholo won. Okpebholo is more grassrooted and popular than Asue

ElevationD:
Oya confirm and let’s talk about it.

There's nothing to talk about assuming is free. PDP failed in their presentation so all is just formality.

Prince111111:
let's be sincere with ourselves for once please Asue won the election

He didn't sir. There was no way he could have won except you mean Adeleke rigged

sleek214:
Still the court will still give it to APC

Yes because there's no evidence

famology:
The pdp did not prove anything. This is the easiest case I've seen in a long time. Media propaganda won't change anything.

Leave the kids

ElevationD:
Is it true that such happened at the tribunal?

I haven't confirmed and even if true, it leads nowhere

HIGHESTPOPORI:
This one just dey talk without point

PDP will lose sir

bobbyblaze4life:
The admittance of the Honest APC witnesses only further goes to show that their INEC GOVERNOR-SELECT never won the September 21st
2024 Governorship Election in Edo State and their refusal to follow the guidelines in the electoral act and our constitution in Nigeria, only goes to show that APC is a party that if not only full of lies and deceit but illegality and gross disregard for the Rule of law which should be meted with a punishment inaccordance with constitutional provisions of the law.

Dr. Asue Ighodalo is the authentic winner of the Edo Gubernatorial Elections and any attempt to steal his mandate or turn a blind eye to the truth in this case should be legally resisted in court by the PDP Counsels because Enough is Enough!

Our legal system must stand up to its responsibilities of e Surfing that there is truth, Equity, Fairness and Justice from the ongoing case in court while giving the right judgement in favour of the authentic winner and mandate owner subsequently.

ALL EYES ARE ON THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY

#JoyIsComing

Pure rubbish. He only admitted to overboting in one unit which is wasted. Asue witnesses failed to prove their case so the admission of any defence witness goes to no issue

blueeyedguy:
The want to risk jail because of APC 🤣

Election tribunal does not jail

Pain is coming for Asue

AMINDA:
The Northern politicians Tinubu has surrounded himself with are not inspiring and can barely mobilise northern voters to queue again behind the ticket in 2027. They simply lack the charisma. This was what HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was trying to tell the President recently but he was met with insults. Whether you admit or not, losing Elrufai will turn out to be a strategic mistake.

Just a few words from Elrufai and the whole polity is already in turmoil. Whoever says he's irrelevant is just lieing to himself. The master strategist should have learned to keep friends close and "enemies" even closer, that is if he considered Elrufai an enemy. Elrufai posed no direct threat to Tinubu before now, not until he was embarrassed and continuously hounded. He only posed a threat to fellow Northern APC politicians who are scheming for 2031. The President should have remained neutral and not pick a side, just as Buhari did. Elrufai deserved that. At this point, he has nothing to lose.

El rufai that became governor because of buhari and can't deliver his state is charismatic while wamakko, badaru , Lolo etc that delivered are not charismatic? You don't have what to say

pquaver:
OK so u knew Hope was duly elected all this while? So for more than 6 years u we're behaving Like Zombie repeating supreme court governor...

Don't mind the little kid

Penguin2:
The suspension is null and void from the onset.

For it to be valid, Wabara would first be suspended by his Ward Executives and then rectified by LGA Executives before it gets to SEC.

But the foolish PDP Chairman in Abia who is probably in one Wike’s fetish pots thinks rushing to Enyimba FM to announce Wabara’s suspension will make it hold water.

This same reason is why Hope Uzodimma became governor of Imo State. Because his fictitious results was supposed to be canceled at the polling unit but because he already bought polling unit Returning Officers, the results were canceled by LGA Returning Officer which automatically made the cancellation illegal and Supreme Court ruled against it.

So, when people don’t know the law, they rejoice at every inanity.

And supposing Wabara was to legitimately suspended, BOT has already rectified Ude-Okoye and anything happening now is mere jamboree.

Wike and his Wastern lovers will cry blood

Then uzodinma victory was legal. Tinubu till 2031

fergie001:
If they wanted to, they would have done it even before the SEC did that.

You go down-up, not up-down.
Listen, they are all pro-Otti so the Ward & LG Chairmen are well taken care of.

How can they be pro otti when he is in LP and ZLP

Non-Compliance with the Electoral Act

1. Failure to record serial numbers of sensitive materials (ballot papers, result sheets, BVAS machines) in the prescribed form. This requirement is seen in Section 73(2) of the Electoral Act and clause 2.3.6 (b) in INEC’s Manual for Election Officials; and is a strict liability clause. Failure to do so in *any* polling unit renders the election in that unit *invalid*. There are 320 polling units affected by this.

2. Over-Voting. Here Asue Ighodalo is alleging that in 133 polling units the number of votes cast was more than the number of accredited voters. This was determined by an examination of polling unit results and the BVAS extract/machines. Instead of canceling these results, INEC collated them. APC of course won in these units where there were over-voting. Asue Ighodalo is asking that the results be canceled.

Majority of lawful votes

1. Here we have 236 polling units where the incorrect unit results were collated. This is the sub-head where instead of using the correct results recorded at the PUs and uploaded onto the Irev portal; INEC manufactured results sheets either unsigned by any agent or clearly manipulatedand used these to declare a winner. Ighodalo is asking the Tribunal to collate the correct results as captured in their Irev CTCs and PDP agents copies.

2. Failure to collate Ikpoba Okha Ward 2 results. Here INEC curiously omitted results from 76 out of 77 PUs in this ward. Only one PU had the form EC40G uploaded onto the Irev portal. All the others did not have polling unit results uploaded *and* BVAS machines shows that accreditation took place. INEC claimed there was BVAS bypass but provided no evidence of this. Ighodalo is therefore asking the courts to collate the results in this ward.

The above is the case of Asue Ighodalo in a nutshell.

Ighodalo did not need to call thousands of witnesses to prove his case. It was why I laughed at the ignorance of John Mayaki and other Monday Okpebholo hirelings when they shamelessly showed their ignorance trying to mock the PDP and Asue Ighodalo for presenting only twelve witnesses.

Section 137 of the Electoral Act says when alleging non-compliance, oral evidence is not required if documents tendered manifestly prove the said non-compliance. This is why the lawyers to Asue Ighodalo did not call the 453 polling unit agents, as the CTCs and original documents proved the case.

With all these clear evidence of non compliance by INEC, over voting, wrong qa of results and non serialization of sensitive materials, INEC had no defence ,quickly closing its case like a defiant armed robber facing death by firing squad who has resigned to fate and accepted a just punishment albeit without any show of penitence.

Only INEC could have defended the EC25B issue; as the requirement to comply is INEC’s alone. INEC’s failure to put anyone on the stand has left the APC in a fatal quagmire.

Why then are people like John Mayaki, Jarret Tenebe, Etinosa Igiebor and others showing much confidence on social media spaces? It is called Dutch courage and their belief that President Bola Tinubu will step in to save the day...

Culled from the Essay, WEEP NOT EDO, JOY IS COMING By Daniel Aroren Noah Osa-Ogbegie,Esq.

Firstly, there is no where Asue proved that inec failed to record the serial numbers. None of the witnesses attested to these.i strike this claim out.

Secondly, the witnesses who attested to over voting where never at the units. APC lawyers brought extracts which proved that there was no overboting. Again, it was revealed that places where there was overvoting was actually cancelled by inec. This claim is dismissed.

Thirdly, you are bringing the issue of irev results which the supreme court killed. Have some shame. Irev results can be accepted in your parlour and nowhere else.


Section 137 cannot help you. The supreme court settled this matter in obi vs tinubu and also in Agege vs sheriff where they clearly stated that oral evidences or human witnesses are still very key and must be called to substantiate or give live to the document or evidence. You cannot dump evidence for the court to interpret, the makers must speak to it. Asue failed to even call collation agents in places where he alleged wrongful collation. He failed to demonstrate the bvas he dumped in the court which killed his weak case..

It is trite law that a petitioner must succeed in the strength of his case and not on the weakness of defence. With his attack failing, the defence be it inec or APC need not present any evidence

adetoya234:
Interesting read.
From what i have seen, it will be a grave miscarriage of justice if the election of Okpebolo is upheld.

The question to ask is did Asue prove any of the above claims?
