Humility017:
how come oshomhole's own and that of mimiko ends at the appeal court during Jonathan's time or has the electoral law changed?

it ends in the appeal court man.... browse past precedents

Before the electoral act was amended in 2010, the electoral act stipulated that the Governorship elections petitions terminated at the Appeal court. But 2010 amendment made the supreme Court the terminal point.

fikiman7000:
I wonder why APC are still thinking about the LG they can't win

They want to rely on Osun template.

Introvertedmarc:
So how do you collate state house of assembly and leave out governoship election?.... when both elections held same time/place and scenerio?

The results of the Bauchi state Governorship election in Tafawa Balewa LGA as declared in each polling unit is already in circulation in Bauchi. PDP won it. APC is just using court to buy time.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won the Tafawa Balewa constituency in the Bauchi State House of Assembly.

PDP won with 29,933 votes against the APC that scored 25,210 votes.

The PDP emerged winner in the election after the resumption of the collation by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The results for the governorship election was however halted because of Court Order given by an Abuja High Court following a suit filed by Governor Mohammed Abubakar and the All Progressive Congress, APC.

It would be recalled that the Tafawa Balewa local government results were rejected by the state INEC Returning Officer, Professor Mohammed Kyari after an alleged reported cases of violence and intimidation at the local government collation Center.

A committee sent by INEC to Bauchi headed by Festus Okoye however recommended that the results from Tafawa Balewa be re-collated and declared.

The commission resumed the collation for the State House of Assembly but halted the collation of result for the governorship election in obedience to the court order.

They stole in hurry and the thing will surely back fire, Inec should disregard any results from any voting center that card reader is not used and call for fresh election in all the area they should not not award score for non compliance exercise.

If they cancelled all votes where card readers were not used Buhari would loose the presidential election. Think well before u make demands.

the same manual accredidation that gave Buhari victory in the presidential election. Maybe Atiku should be declared winner too.

Kennyprince:
Iam from benue state and can tell you categorically that leaving party aside, Apc won that election hands down. Ortom knows how to rig election and those areas he won have said it all: for instance, Guma is ortom village where he gave no vote to apc, gwer west is his wife's place. Logo is former governor suswam village, another thief. Etc so let it be known that benue never voted ortom

You cannot claim jime won without giving us figures. If u want us to believe u give us fgures.

the same manual accreditation gave victory to Buhari in the presidential election. Maybe Atiku should be declared winner too

The Rivers State African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed dissatisfaction over the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the collation of results for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections will be completed.

The electoral umpire had suspended the electoral process in the state following widespread violence orchestrated by thugs and military involvements.

But INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr. Festus Okoye, who announced and that the results from 17 local governments out of 23 were available with declared results for 21 state constituencies out of 32 before the process was suspended, said on Saturday that the process would be completed.

But the Rivers State AAC Publicity Secretary, Felix Enimini William, said his party considers the signal coming from INEC unacceptable.

According to him, “The African Action Congress in Rivers State condemns in its entirety the memo released into media space by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, by midnight purporting that governorship and state assembly elections results were available for seventeen (17) LGAs.

“Sadly, we are curiously surprised and disappointed that INEC deliberately refused to name the 17 local government areas. As far as this information is concerned, it is manifestly false and the attempt to shroud the LGAs claimed to have results in secrecy is a serious step by INEC to sway the outcome of the process in favour of Governor Nyesom Wike, its preferred candidate.”

AAC which served as alternative platform for the leadership of the APC after it was unable to present candidates for elections in the state following court rulings, expressed fears that the electoral umpire was working to favour the incumbent Governor Wike.

Printerscanner:
Are they snatching ballot boxes? If not, the police should just ignore. Ladies sell their bodies for money. Voters too should be free to sell their votes. But anyone that snatches ballot box should be shot with AK-47.

Hmmm. U mean u are free to rig but just make sure you don't snatch ballot boxes.

unity004:
if inec can withstand the pressure by not allowing apc to contest in a state like zamfara, i think this election will be free & fair #like_4_inec

I am very confident that this INEC led by Prof Yakubu will conduct an unbiased election.
But unfortunately the security agencies will compromise the election.
Mark my words.

jasonguru:
Wow, Jonathan endorsing someone that worked for his downfall in 2015,

Is this humility?

Jonathan did not fall in 2015. Loosing an election is not a downfall. Loosing an election simply means the people prefer the other guy.

Sirjamo:
General Abacha was 100 times better than Obasanjo who was dragged by the neck from prison to come and be President.

He was 1000 times better than that useless drunken buffoon who could not do anything even for the good people of Niger delta where he's from

All of them and you their supporters will lose together this Saturday.

Abacha was better than everyone else, except only god Buhari.

What a shame!

sarrki:
This are elder statesman

Ohaneze Head by Nwodo is as useless as afenifere headed by Adebanjo

Not different from the hopeless Arewa consultative forum head by Ango Abdullahi

One thing I can tell u: Hausas don't insult their elders, no matter their political differences. I don't know about other tribes.

Please be guided!

BafanaBafana:
I was in Yola when the president came for his campaign rally. What I witnessed was pure love and passion. Do you know, that people up north don't call him Buhari. They call him baba or Baba Buhari. That's the kind of connection they have with him.
People used their own money to buy Next level T shirts and face caps. All the roads the president was to go through was filled with people. The presidential guards had to be pushing people away from the roads for cars to pass. The people were not even afraid of the soldiers. You know that kind of confidence you have when your father is around and nobody can touch you.

Later in the day, after the rally, I lifted some people who came from another local government to where they will board a bus back home. And I heard one asking ther other if he would come for Atiku's rally. He answered yes. That if they will give them money for transport, he will come. And the first guy agreed with him and said the only rally he can transport himself to is Baba's rally. For any other person, you have to pay.

There are many types of loves, depending on the motive.

But anyone who truly and genuinely love baba Buhari would advise him to retire home and rest.

RockHard:
It's like Kwankwaso and his supporters keep moving from local government to local government in kano for these their rallies. But to what end really?

Governorship election campaign is from local government to local government.

These people are not just foreigners. They are foreign government officials. They are governors in their country. This is to show that the government of that county is actively supporting a particular candidate in the forthcoming elections in Nigeria. It is simply meddling and interference in our electoral process.

Tetehjewels:
You have ADD (attention deficit disorder)

AA (action alliance) and APC candidates have him as their presidential candidate and both parties had representation at the rally.

So Buhari cannot show bias since both parties are also vying for the same gubernatorial position.

Next time don't be a racoon and use your head

Did Buhari travel to IMO state to campaign for APC or AA?

Breaking news indeed!!!

When is the swearing date?

PaChukwudi44:
No one can function as CJN without NJC's backing.Even dictatorship has its limits

If the CJN can be removed easily like Buhari just did then be assure that the NJC members can be intimated and harassed to coperate with d dictator.

PaChukwudi44:
LOL The NJC HAS THE POWERS TO SUSPEND JUDGES INCLUDING THE CJN OR THE IMPOSTOR CJN.THEY CAN BITE AND VERY HARD TOO

Not when u have a dictator as a president.

Ok

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Voting out Buhari is a civic duty for all Nigerian PVC holders...You want to uphold your National Constitution, the very document that defines the Nationhood of Nigeria?. Your right to Freedom and Prosperity as espied in the very letters of our National Anthem?...Then Vote out Buhari else we can as well rewrite another anthem with maybe another coat of arms and a new flag.[/color]

no need voting out buhari. Buhari is a born again democrat according to soyinka. We must all enjoy our born again democtat we created. Brace up for a full fledged tyranny in d next fur years.

i can see many peope wailing just because buhari suspended justice onnoghen. I can only laugh at such people. You all knew buhari is a hardened dictator and yet u made him ur presisent. It is too late to cry. U must accept whatever he serves u in good fate. The possibility of impeaching buhari is now dead because before u can impeach d president the judiciary has its own role to play in the impeachment process and d judiciary has now been pocketed. The new CJN will play a good boy.the stage is now set for election rigging.

seunfly:
Lol!!! Is this case the first case politacal parties will not conduct primary?
PDP is the master of conseus candidate and nothing has happened.


I'm not here to take side, I'm only saying the truth from neutral point of view.
It is always good to be objective in thinking and argument, taking side always blind our eyes and at the end we will still be the one to cry later.

I only corrected ur misconception that INEC disqualified APC candidates. It is both misleading and inciting. INEC cannot disqualify candidates that are dully elected by political parties. INEC can only reject candidates whose nominations contradict INEC rules.

seunfly:
Some times I feel Buhari doesn't influence all this agencies to do things, other wise how could INEC deliberately refused APC's candidates in some states knowing fully well it is a direct gift to PDP. I think people only make noice if those things involves PDP otherwise I can't fantom what would have happened by now if it was PDP's candidates that INEC deliberately disqualified like that and I don't think this will ever happen if it was PDP government.

Anyway me I just dey sitdon dey look as a neutral.

Kingsley is my candidate since SDP don pusure Donald Duke and they don commot chair for anty Obi ezekweazeli yansh.

INEC did not disqualify APC candidates. The problem is that APC simply refused to conduct primaries in zamfara state. U may try to update urself.

drealzum:
This is why Eggons and Christians can never be governors in Nasarawa state despite being the majority.
Eggon people are just like my tribe.... big for nothing...... No political organisation.
The PDP candidate is Eggon,Labaran Maku in APGA is also Eggon.
The APC candidate is a muslim from a minority.
But he will most likely win. Why?
The Eggon always split their votes.... This is not the first time this is happening in Nasarawa.
Go to Adamawa state and see huge Christian population but they have no clout, no organisation.
This is the problem of the middle belters..... My own tribe is not different..... Go to Jos, we are quick to boast we are the second largest tribe on the plateau but how many political positions do ngas people hold?
Big for nothing tribe.

You are right! Same thing in Gombe state. Christians are 55% in Gombe state, yet they cannot rule.

allthingsgood:
Maku the thief

What is wrong with pdp Just recycling thieves and expect to win

https://naijagists.com/37-billion-naira-looted-by-gej-minister-labaran-maku-found-hidden-in-nasarawa-farm/

u dont call people thieves based on hearsay or mere allegations. It is a bad politicsü It is unfair.

Labaran Maku is a christian. A non-muslim cannot rule nasarawa state. It is very painful for me to say this, but this is the sad reality.
