My brother, court rulings do not contemplate and not court will contemplate for the petitioner or the respondent. The case in contention borders on 2024 budget representation and an event has overtaken the 2024 budget representation to Martins and his group of 26 friends because the 2025 budget is now in force. They should go to any high court of their choice to ask for the 2025 budget representation to them and let us hear what the court will say. Shikena!

My brother, the judgment stating that 4 members cannot transact any legislative business remains. Whatever fubara does with his clowns remains illegal

IfnobeGod20:
The man just playing usual politics with this Edo state gubernatorial election even with all glaring irregularities.

Sorry which glaring irregularities

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, APC is just been smart by half. These are people that declared their defection on a live tv and they were welcomed by the state chairman of APC in Rivers state and they went to court to go and sworn an affidavit to handicap INEC, State assembly and PDP not to declare their seats vacant because they claimed their was an issue in their former party. Except you wished to tell the world that anyone can just go to court to swear an affidavit without no cogent reason. Have you sat down to ask yourself why they went to the same court to withdrew same affidavit they sworn to. The mean thing is, they cannot undo what has been done because a case has been filed on that ground. You cannot aprobate and reprobate at the same time. Not allowed in law, even though I am not a lawyer but I know all this basic.
If not they have committed perjury for lying on oath, hence they are liable to jail term.

Yes, they can go to jail for perjury but there's not sufficient ground to claim they defected so fubara loses

IfnobeGod20:
Whether the 2024 budget is illegal or not it has overtaken by an event and the event is that the 2025 budget is in operation. Go and listen to Femi Falana on the same issue today. You can search for the video on the net. I have it but can post video here. He explicitly said, this suit was filed before their defection and their defection suit is already at the federal high court in Portharcout. Meaning if the go to court again to fight for the representation of the 2025 budget to them, the respondent will have a enough ground to address their defection properly as they were unable in this 2024 budget suit. Just try and search for video of Femi Falana reaction to supreme court judgement on Rivers state 2024 budget representation and you will get clearer picture.

Falana is fubara lawyer so what do you expect him to say? I rule you out of order...
The appeal court ordered the budget to be presented to Amaewhule group which is legitimacy and that ruling subsists. Fubara lost today and would still have lost whether he withdrew or not. The apex court ordering fubara to pay separate fines to Amaewhule and the assembly should tell you the direction of the case. Fubara will lose heavily

Deepthoughts:
Don't support what is wrong please,yes the evidence is limited to his PU but the are hundreds of pu like that n that's why the governor has to quickly n shamefully close his case without calling more witnesses that could be bursted easily to reveal more odoriferous cankerworms,I guess he is now counting on behind the scenes dirty dealings,.The view that such na infraction in a pu is inconsequential such that even if the result is cancelled it would mean nothing is an argument that has long been employed by electoral manipulators supported by people like you forgetting that as the numbers of such cases increases, it's bound to affect the elections outcome,this was exactly what happened in 2023 where over ten thousand results sheets printed from inec IREV showed blank sheets yet results were declared in those pu n the tribunal turned a complete magical blind eye ears to them,thank God we are all feeling the heat n now USA n even Saudi Arabia are "dejapaning"Nigerians,2027 will surely be interesting,if our mumu never do us,body go tell us .

PDP has lost, rest. Besides that unit was already cancelled since

anonimi:
If Calabar seaport is not working at full capacity, is it not senseless to borrow money for a new seaport?

Why are we so dumb

Calabar port is very inland and narrow, bakassi is just by the ocean like apap

richmond500:
This case has lingered for 2yrs already.
Fresh case will linger for more than a year.
By then 2026 budget has been passed

Not true, the case was instituted on Dec 2023

richmond500:
it will, the appellate court will hear the case, pass judgement, then it will go to supreme court who will hear and pass judgement again

It will not. The last one took 1 hear, this one will take less

spencekat:
The case is still on. The key thing has not been adjudicated.

It has been. The supreme court indirectly recognized Amaewhule camp and set the stage for the destruction of fubara

ElevationD:
Let’s watch and see as I always say.
No be gra gra. No be or die.
Again for me let the good candidates win and make life better for all.
But that your Okpebolo wey no sabi read so, how e be with am?

Oga, some of these figures are tricky to read esp billions and trillions

Bergavis:
The voting results from this unit was invalidated, but the same result remained posted on IREV. The total accredited votes were 189, yet the total votes cast was 204. This unit results was added up and led to the Governor's lead over Ighodalo. What's your take on this my brother? 😂😂😂

What is on irev is irrelevant sir. The supreme court has rubbished irev. Inec said they cancelled and didn't collate it and this remains. Stop allowing irev confuse you. PDP has lost

ElevationD:
Then you wrongly predicted my brother.
Did you read the portion wherein it stated that Fubara withdrew the appeal? What do you understand from that?

It is the same thing na. He indirectly conceded defeat. The appeal court ruling against him subsists. The supreme court awarded cost against him to reinforce that

Bergavis:
He is aware that he would face imprisonment if he were to say otherwise. He has no desire to perjure himself.

Lol, perjury is not a ground in an election tribunal

Bergavis:
Over voting has taken place in 133 units across the entire state, not only in this particular unit. The individual testifying for the second respondent acknowledged over voting in his unit. The same acknowledgment is expected from others. If you subtract those units where over voting transpired, the PDP will emerge as the winner.

PDP failed to substantiate the over voting in any of the 133 units.this particular units was already cancelled so back to square 0

bamosagie:
sorry you lost me.... your argument is not logical

How so

BluntCrazeMan:
Hehehehehe..
Ok then.

I am just laughing at you.

I am the one that should laugh because it seems you don't understand how the law works despite your experience. When will you learn to follow my lead

BluntCrazeMan:
He actually AGREED to one out of MANY DOCUMENTS which the PDP presented.

If he agrees to it, it means that many others are also correct, until proven otherwise.

They stopped other witnesses from appearing, so that they cannot agree any further..
But the damage is already done.


They accepted that what the Petitioners are saying is true.

I thought you learnt from atiku vs Buhari and obi vs atiku. He further revealed that those units where over voting occurred where cancelled contrary to PDP claims. There is no damage. PDP can only succeed on the strength of their petition and not on the weak defence of Apc

rolams:
The judge may order a rerun and the APC will play their game again.

Rerun where? PDP are misinforming you guys
The APC witness revealed further that that particular units with over voting where cancelled and never collated. It's a dead case

BluntCrazeMan:
Akpakomiza2..

Come oo..
What did I Just read here.??

I already stated last week that the smart play is for APC and inec to close their case without presenting any witness since pdp failed in presenting any cogent witness. The defence will just rely on testimonies elicited from PDP witness to damage the case further. Once a petition fails, whatever the defence does is useless even if they admit to rigging

IfnobeGod20:
Remain valid but can you rewind the hand of a clock. Remember the suit is not on their defection but who to receive the 2024 budget. For now 2024 budget has been overtaken by event and that was why SIM went to withdrew the case, as it would turn to academic exercise if the judgement is delivered.

In the eyes of the law, the budget of last year was illegal whether overtaken or not and also this this year's budget is also illegal whether it is academic exercise or not. All these points to indications that he would lose the defection case

Faber:
How

They all fumbled under heavy cross examination

IfnobeGod20:
You're a learner. Since the Appeal has been overtaken by event, what is the need pursuing what is not. SIM withdrew it because he knew any judgement given will only be academic exercise because the 2025 budget has overrode that of 2024.

Nothing like overtaken. Technically, he still lost

IfnobeGod20:
The appeal has been overtaken by event, hence, it is needless. Good one from SIM.

No sir, it means that the lower court judgment remains valid

obasidon1:
Fubara withdrew his appeal

Read

The Supreme Court struck it out

The Supreme Court hasn't decided on the Rivers House defection matter

Fubara withdrew the appeal because that case was about 2024 budget

We are in 2025. That budget is gone.

The expired lawmakers should go and start another case about the 2025 budget

The 2024 budget case that was before the Supreme Court panel has been overtaken by events by virtue of effluxion of time

Those beating drums a d having premature ifedi

Should wait for the main case to reach the supreme court

For now Amaehwule and Co are expired lawmakers

It also means that the appeal court ruling invalidating the budget was sustained

Bluntemperor:
Of Course,that is what the gaulibles audiences want,in Social Media but different from what the Law and what the People want!
For example - the fact that there is one Over- voting in One Area, does Not Translate to Over-voting in other Major towns and Cities!
Know the Law well before talking!

OldSkoolHeadBoy:
[b]You guys don't know how the electoral and legal system works !

The first issue is it that it is universally recognized that there is no election that is 100% flawless anywhere in the world. The witness that has been called, despite scoring an own goal has only confirmed that there was over voting in only one (1) Polling Unit, out of several hundred Polling Units that were used during the election in Edo State. The judgement to sustain or overturn the election result would be determined based on if there are several of such infractions in several Polling Units that would be sufficient to affect the declared results in favour of the APC Gubernatorial Candidate. The volume of possible number of votes in the affected Polling Units where over voting took place must be greater than the margin of difference between the declared APC winner and the PDP loser that is challenging the process.

Therefore, before you get unnecessarily excited and at the end of the day the judgement does go in your favour, please note that there would have to be several of this type of revelation that must be in overwhelming volume, if not the result of the election stands as declared ![/b]

Deepthoughts:
Despite all of these glaring facts, there's nothing that the abracadabra supreme court can not do especially under this dispensation so nobody should jubilate yet.

There's no glaring evidence sir. His evidence is limited to his unit which if cancelled makes no difference

SeeWahala:
We all know there is no way APC could have won edo state. Edo state have woke peeps. The rigging was too LOUD to hide

Sharrap. How do you think Asue a stranger would have won a popular senator like okpebholo with the failure of obaseki

Justnation:
If after this drama, the tribunal still rule in favour of okpebhole then we will finally know that APC has buried democracy in Nigeria.

Which drama? The case will be decided by the petitioner evidence which failed

ScamDemicEra:
..... unless PDP out bribe the judges, they can't win regardless of evidence !!

The 19 PDP witnesses already admitted that APC won

Badb0y4lyf:
I’m thinking they will call for a Re-run election that’s the only way APC can come out of this and do there abacadabra politics again.

The case will be dismissed

alphaconde:
The way the judge will compose the judgement after all these flaws will shock u.

PDP haven't established any flaw
