Fubara will survive.

fergie001:
It has been overtaken by events as the matter in question is the 2024 budget, the 2025 budget has already been passed.

At the material time of this issue, Ehie Edison was "Speaker" he isn't anymore and now CoS to the Governor.

It has become academic and is of no moment, the appellant simply withdrew same.

Again, it has nothing to do with the leadership of the house. The write-up is wrong..... This appeal has to do with the re-presentation of the 2024 budget.

Withdrawal of the case at appeal messed the whole thing up, but the key case was not looked into.

ElevationD:
Akpakomiza I no take lie know you here.
Uzodimma was shortchanged?
E be like say APC don do you something o.


Something to make you happy:

Supreme Court just dismissed Fubara’s appeal against Amaewhule.

bontra:
"Smh"

"The dismissal of the appeal by Fubara was hinged on the withdrawal of the suit by his counsel, Yusuf Ali."

free2ryhme:
Fubara go win

SalamRushdie:
So it was a game of the better rigger

ElevationD:
Who was shortchanged? Okpebolo? And yet he won?
Bro, with this request to PDP from APC, are you not seeing some fear?

Dogalmighty17:
Sadly, I think that the election petition regarding Adamawa state has run its course even to the supreme Court and the PDP has maintained that seat. Coming from the REC that conducted that election, these are heavy allegations. But the APC is the ruling party at the national level. It is suspicious why the party is not taking the matter up. Why is the APC protecting the PDP in Adamawa state? This doesn't make sense.

This is another indictment on INEC.

SalamRushdie:
You have nothing

ElevationD:
Ok.

The results:
APC - 291,667
PDP - 247,274
LP - 22,763
Other parties with 2% of the whole results.
Looking at the margin between APC and PDP, how would APC expect PDP to withdraw their petition please? With 2% of the entire votes, what did you expect from the parties that withdrew, Akpakomiza?

You may please recall that Uzodimma came a glaring fourth in his first election, but strangely he was declared the governor by the Supreme Court, using the strange word “technicality”.

Do not also forget that Buhari told Nigerians that APC used “remote control” to defeat PDP, in an election that PDP was clearly leading.

All we can do as I always say, is to sit and watch.

Kuvuki001:
Apc government was imposed on the people of Edo state, We voted Asue Ighodalo .we more evidence to present at the tribuna. Edo is PDP AND PDP IS EDO STATE..

Paraman:
Edo is APC, APC is Edo

free2ryhme:
Let’s be honest—this whole “withdrawing for the welfare and development of Edo State” is just political talk. Nobody gives up a fight just like that. Money must have exchanged hands, or they’ve been promised juicy positions. Politics in Nigeria is hardly ever about the people; it’s about who gets what. They saw they had no real chance, and instead of wasting time, they probably took the best deal offered. Simple!

Bobloco:
You are a huge clown

APC expressed optimism that PDP may do away with its petition following lack of substantial evidence to support it as reflected in the alleged inadequacies of the testimonies of the witnesses it presented at the Tribunal.

The APC optimism came on the heel of dismissal of petitions filed by the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Zenith Labour Party, ZLP and Allied People’s Movement (APM) by the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.


The dismissal of the petitions was handed down on Friday, following their sudden withdrawal against the APC and Governor Monday Okpebholo.

Comrade Wisdom Isaac who spoke on behalf of the petitioners had explained that their decisions to withdraw from the cases stemmed from a desire to prioritize the welfare and development of Edo State.

He underscored the importance of maintaining peace for the flourishing of the state, emphasizing that the petitioners did not intend to disrupt the governor’s efforts in leading the state.


He acknowledged that there will be future opportunities to demonstrate their zeal to lead the state as they set their sights on the 2028 gubernatorial election.

Counsel for the Allied People’s Movement, Jackson Ehiabhi echoed the same sentiments, asserting that the petitioners chose to avoid distracting the governor from his responsibilities, placing the well-being of Edo State above their individual ambitions

With the tribunal’s dismissal of the petitions, a total of four cases have now been put to rest, with the focus shifting towards the petition filed by the PDP.


The APC, however, said it is hopeful that PDP will follow suit by withdrawing its petition the way other parties did, having been faced with real facts that their allegations lacked substantial foundation as evidenced in the weak testimonies of their witnesses at the tribunal.

In the meantime, APC and Governor Monday Okpebholo are expected to open their defense against the PDP petition to justify their victory at the last year gubernatorial election.

guy rest biko..all you have been saying only proofs you know nothing about all the proceedings

I hope judgement won't be 'yakub-ed' again.

ElevationD:
“This precedent likely cast a long shadow over INEC’s legal strategy. The PDP’s case hinges on evidence certified by INEC itself, including election documents and BVAS data. To defend the APC’s declared victory, INEC would have needed to discredit its own certified records—a move that would have exposed its officials to potential perjury charges if their testimony contradicted the evidence.

This decision mirrors INEC’s approach during the 2023 Kano governorship election petition, where the Commission also refused to call witnesses. That gamble backfired when the Tribunal ruled against INEC. While avoiding the stand spares its staff the risk of criminal liability and public humiliation, it leaves the Commission’s legal position precarious.”



Akpakomiza, did you read the above part of the topic? Please read it again, using the same failed strategy of INEC in Kano state, to tell us where the hope of APC lies.

The next question is just what everyone’s asking, except you. Why did INEC not bother to defend details in the BVAS machines and other electoral materials used by them to conduct the election?

Just like we read about perjury, is hiding afraid of anything?

Kingpele:
Hahaha Hahaha...this one na own goal...inec conducted election they couldn't defend ..what a shame ...balabu and inec chairman, have rubbished Inec integrity to the lowest degree....since 1999 till 2022 we have never seen inec this daft...

Ihengwu:
They may still use federal might to win the case, but it wont wipe out the fact that what happened during Edo state election was day light robbery. And to see the ferocious way Adams Oshiomhole celebrated the purported victory was disgraceful.

sirgoody:
Not a single witness from the 4519 POs, 192 ward collation officers, 18 LG collation officers, and their senior staff including professors could come defend the fraud they did

Pdp and Asue Ighodalo don hold dem for their blokos

Victory loaded for Asue Ighodalo

2027 is not too far again. Aboki no go vote Tinubu again.

SmartPolician:
El-Rufai will comfortably win a senate seat in his state. In fact, most former governors can.

ValarDoharis:
They can want him but ought not to have rigged for him. But that same North will not rig for him 2027 because their lives became worse off

ValarDoharis:
Some Northerners that helped him rigged North thought he built Lagos but in 2027, he cannot make that fraudulent claim of Lagos but will be campaigning based on his disastrous 4yrs.

ValarDoharis:
Why are you explaining? I asked if he won the North? Its a yes or know based on what you asked me earlier

ValarDoharis:
When GEJ won in 2011, did he win the North?
