Only a NEC meeting of all LP chairmen in each state of the federation can appoint an acting national chairman according to the Labour party laws! Most of these people who claim to be ancestors in LP don't even know their laws! Now some clowns in APC are suddenly supporting Lamidi apapa because they know he is trying hard to do the bidding of their paymasters! They clam to be elders and have stayed in the party for donkey years and yet have had zero electoral value up till now! ![]() Would LP be able to achieve up to 10k votes nationwide without the influence or charisma of Peter Obi? |
manutdrichie: ![]() Thats a better instance! |
BuharisBoy:This propaganda is stale nah To make matters worse,some deluded clowns even liked this waterside beer parlour yarn without a single link from a reliable or reputable source! |
Jones4190:He joined since 2002 yet no electoral value even in his PU until Obi showed up and made them popular in less than 9 months! If you have an employee that has been working for 10 plus years with no value or profit to your company and a new recruit shows up and gives the company more than 500% profit in less than 8 months,who would you likely promote or hold in high regard? Can you compare a total of 5k electoral value of LP in 2019 to a whooping 6 million plus(should even be more) votes in 2023? |
EXPLAINER: Is INEC in breach of law on e-transmission of results? Many Nigerians have expressed worry over the alleged breach by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the Electoral Act 2022 with respect to the electronic transmission of election results following Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections. These violations, according to them, are based on the requirements of electronic transmission of polling unit results, which INEC introduced to ensure the elections are free, fair and credible. Results of elections from 176,846 polling units were expected to have been transmitted to the INEC Result Viewing Portal immediately the votes were collated at every polling unit but the presiding officers at various polling units lamented their inability to transmit the results, especially those of the presidential election, through the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), an equipment issued to the officers for such purpose. What does the law say on the electronic transmission of election results? Is the right of Nigerians to a credible election as guaranteed by the law being violated by INEC? Procedure for voting The Electoral Act provides in section 47 that a voter in an election must present himself with his voter’s card to a presiding officer for accreditation at the polling unit in the constituency in which his name is registered. The presiding officer will also use a smart card reader or any other technological device for the accreditation of voters, to verify, confirm or authenticate the particulars of the voters. The law is also states that “where a smart card reader or any other technological device fails to function in any unit and a fresh card reader or technological device is not brought, the election in that unit shall be cancelled and another election shall be scheduled within 24 hours”. Counting, recording and transmission of votes Section 60 of the Electoral Act states that “the presiding officer shall, after counting the votes at the polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form to be prescribed by the commission as the case may be”. More so, section 60 (5) of the Act states that the presiding officer shall transfer the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the commission”. The prescribed manner here is the BVAS, which INEC introduced to ensure that the electoral process is credible. The BVAS was introduced by INEC in line with Section 148 of the Electoral Act, which gives INEC power to make guidelines and regulations to ensure the full effect of the law. Legal experts criticise INEC’s actions Inibehe Effiong, lawyer and political activist, said “the electronic transmission of votes provided by the Electoral Act and in the guidelines issued by INEC has not been complied with”. He said: “The INEC chairman has compromised and made it clear that he has no credibility and reputation to organise credible elections by first failing to offer a cogent explanation for the blatant non-compliance with the law with regards to the electronic transmission of votes. “This has repudiated what should have ordinarily been a credible election process.” According to him, the provisions of the Electoral Act under section 60, which provides for the mode of transmission, have not been complied with. “This makes the entire election process questionable. In fact, this election lacks credibility and should be nullified,” Effiong said. Adedeji Adeyemi, a Lagos-based lawyer, said: “The fact that the results were not transferred from the polling units has made nonsense of the entire process. “INEC is in breach of the provisions of the law under sections 60 and 64 (4) of the Electoral Act.” Section 64 (4) of the Electoral Act states that “a collation officer or returning officer at an election shall collate and announce the result of an election, subject to his or her verification and confirmation that the number of accredited voters stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units and that the votes stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units”. Adeyemi said: “There were no statements by the returning officers that the results being called out were verified and confirmed that they were those directly transmitted from the polling unit. “All these show that the entire process is inconsistent with the various laws including the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022 and to this effect, the whole process is void. Nigerians have the right to credible elections and INEC must uphold this duty to Nigerians.” |
SmartyPants: If you choose to see it the other way,that's your problem and obviously your entitled opinion! |
![]() Even the 6 term senator that she won has accepted his L in peace but one oha soup sipping fuul is making assertions that he cannot prove! I keep wondering why no presenter has ever asked him to explain all the tweets he posted about Tinubu ![]() ![]() |
SmartyPants:Too many epistles! Bottom line is that He has been admonishing his supporters right from the time he decided to become president and anyone who isn't as politically affiliated as you sound would know better! Whether he said it occasionally or frequently doesn't take away the fact that he has been consistent about seeking for calm and civility while contesting his case through legal means! That for me is fair enough! If you choose to see it the other way,that's your problem and obviously your entitled opinion! |
Interesting! When Reno calls or labels Tinubu a drug lord on his tweets,agbadorian suddenly become perpetually blind but once he makes a post about their paymasters that suits their narrative,they not only make a thread about it,they also plead with their darling APC mod to fast track it to FP! ![]() |
SmartyPants:Did he or did he not admonish his supporters to be civil? Whether deficient or not is not the matter that you had stated abintio! You had initially made it sound like he had never called out his supporters before or he was doing so of recent but when shown evidence,you prevaricate by insinuating such admonition is not sufficient! The problem with you lots is that nothing he does seems good enough because you have allowed your political affiliations to cloud your sense of judgement hence your frequent criticism of him! Simple! |
SmartyPants:Whether common or not...the question is has he called out His supporters on social media to be civil and calm? Yes or No! If yes then why blaming him for the expression of opinion of others! Everyone has a right to express their opinion as they deem fit! You cannot verbally attack someone on social media and also decide or determine how the person should react! In his little way,he has tried to ask his supporters to maintain calm despite vile attacks aimed at them and the character of Obi! What else do you want him to do? |

Yet to be inaugurated but has already gone for three medical trips ![]() Nah every 3 days baba emilokan go dey visit medical centre! ![]() Buhari aka ajala the traveller will be child's play compared to balablu bulaba journey abroad! |
SmartyPants:If you were observant and monitored his posts on twitter rather than swallowing what you read here,he has always made emphasis on the need for his supporters to be civil and apply decorum in their communication on social media! This is one of the reasons why he refused to take the popular stance of civil unrest and went with the legitimate path by challenging the electoral process at the tribunal! |
Jones4190:Don't get evasive! Stick to your earlier submission! You made opinions based on the narrative of a commentator about the BVAS and IREV being secondary.... In a nutshell,unimportant which has been proven to be false because it was through the BVAS that it was determined that there was no over voting! Oyetola made allegations of over-voting but presented evidence that was based on hearsay which was eventually thrown out! |
Jones4190:That's the opinion of the commentators! The EC8 that was signed by the party agents emanated from the BVAS! The IREV is important due to the guidelines and regulations of INEC about the electronic transmission of results from the Polling units! This was buttressed by the SC judges that gave their final verdict on the osun state election! So you think because LP didn't have enough agents hence the results will go against them? I dey laugh U Even in nasarrawa state that he won,I know of PDP and NNPP agents that were Obi supporters in the presidential election! In Plateau state where Obi scored one of his highest votes,most of the party agents who were mostly PDP members were actually in support of Obi and sent their own results from their PU as evidence to the lawyers of Peter Obi! |
BRIMBRAM: ![]() |
This is what happens when a president is ushered in through emotions or illegality! Now another bigger disaster is taking over from him and claiming he will continue where Buhari stopped! One thing is sure...suffering and pain knows no region or religion! All of us go follow suffer am! |
Final cash out! Let's see how the few that will get the 5-10k per month will survive with that for one week after subsidy removal! Dey play! |
Civicwise:Do you expect a president to deliver or birth out solutions when the process that ushered him in was illegal and fraudulent? I laugh at your assertions that 'tinubu will fix things'....once Tinubu does 4 years,whether good or bad,he will still do another 4 years! Once illegality has been established and not contested or challenged,impunity will become inevitable! |
Sensationalism! Why not say what exactly happened! The title of this thread should be 'APP withdraws case against APC' |
zomby:I guess you are making reference to your own mother since that's your forte! |
Persuaded or bribed you with something better? |
onuman:It wasn't just a promise,it was contained in the guidelines and regulations which is an extension of the electoral law! The judges will not use a mere promise but the guidelines and regulations of INEC to give their judgement! Furthermore, INEC CANNOT go against their own law no matter the conditions they may have faced! |
Allmiron:True! |
Weldone arsenal....one or two more draws from manutd and Newcastle in subsequent games and the UCL spots will be thrown open! Wetin Newcastle wan go do for UCL? Even if Newcastle buy all the big names with Arab money,they will still go to the UCL to make up the numbers! |
Hellonearth:My thoughts too |
NzogbuNzogbu:So Osibanjo is now a criminal abi? |
yarimo:Very poor Photoshop superimposition of Obi in the picture! Get someone properly equipped from your WhatsApp group to do a better job! |
He doesn't even need to argue with her! Just end the relationship instantly and move on! |
