Good news for everyone.

I have been advocating for this for a very long time..

I'm very happy it is coming to pass finally.


There are many things I am still requesting them to do.
I just hope and pray that they do all of them.

17. The Commission will also upload Polling Unit level results (Form EC8A) and the accreditation data to the INEC Result Viewing Portal. This is also a mandatory provision of section 50, 60 and 64 of the Electoral Act 2022.

ABOUT WRIT OF SUMMONS..

Let me try to explain a little bit about ”WRIT OF SUMMONS”, and “ORIGINATING SUMMONS”.
According to the Electoral Act 2022 (Section 84: subsection-14) which states that:

(14). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act or rules of a political party, an aspirant who complains that any of the provisions of this Act and the guidelines of a political party have not been complied with in the selection or nomination of a candidate of a political party for election, may apply to the Federal High Court for redress.

Bashir Machina applied to the High Court For Redress, as required by the Electoral Act.
But the Supreme Court faulted the mode by which he applied for the redress.

A civil action before a higher court (High court, or Federal High Court, or National Industrial Court) is commenced by either a “writ of summons” where the issue is contentious, or by an “originating summons” where the issue is non-contentious.

What does it mean for an issue to be “Contentious” or “Non-Contentious”?

A Contentious Issue (in a layman's language) is an issue where the parties are likely to argue or dispute back-and-forth.
Whereas a Non-Contentious Issue is an issue lodged in the court in the format of a request, seeking for the resolution of a case without any detriment to any existing rights or claims.

The Supreme Court therefore ruled that the issue was a Non-Contentious Issue, and therefore, that the Counsel to Bashir Machina was supposed to have known better.

Nevertheless, some supposedly Non-Contentious issues might still involve some form of disputes and arguments during their proceedings., but that wouldn't stop such issues from being Non-Contentious Issues.

LIKE I SAID EARLIER....
LAWYERS KNOW ALL THESE TERMS FAR BETTER THAN LAYMEN..!!

I just don't know why this happened with the Counsels to Bashir Machina.






ABOUT “DOUBLE NOMINATIONS”...

The Nigerian Constitution And The Electoral Act 2022 did not prohibit anybody from “seeking” to be nominated by many parties, or for many positions.

Anybody can be an Aspirant on many fronts, but once the person gets nominated by two different parties for the same position in the same election, or for two different elective positions in two different elections that would be running concurrently, then, those two nominations stand to be disqualified.

Thus, for a person who is seeking to be nominated to be a Candidate, he had to be very careful while being an Aspirant in any party, so that he would not be nominated twice (or more).
Thus, he had to play the game of One-Aspirant-At-A-Time., so that he can always be on a safer side.
And once Someone-Else gets nominated (that is, after a valid primaries had been conducted), the person can start seeking to be nominated for another position in the same party, or he can go to another party and start seeking to be nominated for that same position again, or he may seek for another position all together (in the new party).

Therefore, for someone to Buy the Nomination Form of a Political Party, it is totally different from BEING THE PARTY’S NOMINATED CANDIDATE..

Thus, if someone bought many nomination forms from many parties, it doesn't mean that he was nominated many times.

The Electoral Act 2022 (Section:35 -- and Section:115(1)(d)) were all referring to Party’s Nominated Candidates,, and not “Aspirants”.


Read this news-article link to understand more “Double Nominations”.
https://nigeriannewsdirect.com/the-electoral-act-2022-allows-an-aspirant-to-be-nominated-as-candidate-of-another-party-for-same-or-different-elective-office/

The Supreme Court on Monday (6th February, 2023) dismissed Sheriff Bashir Machina, and declared Ahmed Lawan as the Winner of the Yobe North Senatorial Candidate.


The Majority Judgement of the Supreme Court ruled that: “Bashir Machina violated THE COURT RULES, by commencing his court action with a ‘WRIT OF SUMMONS’ instead of an ‘ORIGINATING SUMMONS’, and therefore, his case shouldn't have been entertained by any of the lower courts in the first place.
(These are all technical terms that has to do with the court processes.. Lawyers are supposed to be very conversant with these terms..)

But then..
According to the Electoral Act 2022 (Section:33); it states thus:

“A political party shall not be allowed to change or substitute its candidate whose name has been submitted under section 29 of this Act, except in the case of DEATH or WITHDRAWAL by the candidate:
Provided that in the case of such withdrawal or death of a candidate, the political party affected shall, within 14 days of the occurrence of the event, hold a fresh primary election to produce and submit a fresh candidate to the Commission for the election concerned.

Bashir Machina won the APC’s Nomination on the 28th of May 2022 (by the primaries that was conducted by the APC, and monitored by the INEC), and it was never disputed by the APC in any Court of Law.
Thus,, the Victory of Machina was (and is still) very valid, and was never disputed nor discarded, even though the APC never submitted Bashir Machina’s name to the INEC as the person who won the Nomination Ticket.

The APC just decided to come up with a replacement for Machina, that is, after the newly conducted Primaries which they did on the 9th of June.
But then, they didn't fulfill all the necessary requirements of the Electoral Act for the process of replacement of an already-nominated candidate.
The APC might be assuming in this case that they had not submitted Machina’s name as the Nominated Candidate yet, so, there is no need for any “Replacement” or “Substitution”, rather, for them to submit the name of their candidate which was elected in a supposedly “Validly Conducted Primaries”.

Now, let us assume that the Senatorial Primaries of 28th May 2022 was null-and-void, and shouldn't be taken as the authentic primaries.
(Like I pointed out earlier, APC cannot assume this particular situation, because the primaries actually took place, and they -- the APC -- recognized that they conducted it, and they didn't dispute it.)

So, Let Us look at the Senatorial Primaries which took place on the 9th of June 2023.
The APC didn't adhere strictly to the Electoral Act 2022 (Section:82; Sub-sections-1 & 5) which states thus:

(1). Every registered political party shall give the Commission at least 21 days’ notice of any convention, congress, conference or meeting convened for the purpose of “merger” and electing members of its executive committees, other governing bodies or nominating candidates for any of the elective offices specified under this Act.

(5). Failure of a political party to notify the Commission as stated in subsection-(1) shall render the convention, congress, conference or meeting invalid.

a. The APC never gave proper notification to the INEC for the Primaries which they conducted on the 9th of June 2022. (But they notified INEC about the Primaries which they conducted on the 28th of May, 2022).

b. The INEC didn't monitor the primaries which took place on the 9th of June 2022, (but they duly monitored the primaries which took place on the 28th May, 2022)


From all indications, Dr. Ahmed Lawan is NOT QUALIFIED.


So, what then is supposed to be the outcome of the recent Supreme Court Judgement?

Since the APC did not accept Bashir Machina Candidacy, and thus got his case trashed by the Supreme Court Judgement based on technicalities, and then also, being that Dr. Ahmed Lawan is not qualified to be the APC Senatorial Candidate based on the requirements of the Electoral Act;
then, THE STATUS-QUO REMAINS.
That means, APC has no Senatorial Candidate for Yobe-North Senatorial District Election come February 2023.

Manny21:
Is it just me, this girl appears to have given up becoming the deputy governor of Lagos State. I have not seen her in recent time campaigning

They Are Chasing Her Seriously From Underground

Dshocker:
Hope it is not what i am thinking...

Ask The Question Again Ooo

..




I hope this is a NATURAL DEATH.??

I hope this was not orchestrated in any way.??



..

This is it.




Time for reshuffling Police Formations.!!

Cool.


Let's watch this Roller-coaster all over again.


***Meanwhile..
Talking about the Electoral Act..
Dr Ahmad Lawan and his party totally went against the provisions of “The Electoral Act 2022” (Section:33 -- and Section:82, Sub-sections:1 & 5).
.
WILL THE INEC GO AGAINST THE ELECTORAL ACT 2022.??

Or your hands are TIED??

Demogorgon:
I think what the op meant is, Obi will be declared winner. Either of APC or PDP or both will impose their candidate as winner and try to cheat their way in maybe through the courts. Regardless, Obi will still be president

So, there will be a serious National Drama in few weeks to come??

[quote author= post=120716599]Another Terrible News, From Anambra State.

Don't Forget That, , Bring The News[/quote]These people are sending gunmen to kill people in Anambra,, just to tarnish the image of Peter Obi.

ANY TIME WHEN THE PERFORMANCES OF ALL LAGOS GOVERNORS WOULD BE COMPARED SIDE-BY-SIDE,, (starting from the time Lagos State was created, up to this present day), I am telling you,, nobody will campaign for Tinubu again.

They will never Call APC PERSONS to such a programme and allow callers to call-in..




TVC is such a shameful station.
Badly Biased

stano2:
All of a sudden, they now care.
The naira redesign on a long run is a great policy, the implementation just need to be looked into

Peter-Obi said it many times.


This Current Government had a lot of Good Policies..
But they are not good implementers.

And that is because they don't have the right persons in the various offices

Jubrilv:
ON TINUBU MANDATE I STAND GIDI GBA

It's good you're answering for yourself.

Let's see how it pans out

Same thing Obi did., And they were crucifying him.
Now, Tinubu did the same thing.
They were hailing him

Efuaye:
Just imagine that!

Before I got mine, I had to write petitions and escalated to the inec office, and went on twitter to call them out, in fact, I fought like a mad dog before I was called to one of their offices for collection!

Lalasticlala, Seun, Nlfpmod..




People are suffering.

Let this be on the FP.
LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH.

Efuaye:
Mynd44, Seun, NLfpmod, why is this major issue not on the front page?
Please, escalate this

It's actually because the Mods don't believe that there are people whose PVCs were actually Not-Printed by the INEC.

Thus, the Mods don't properly relate with the situation that was described in the topic,, so they cannot understand what the directly-concerned and affected people are going through.

bewla:
No

Cool.
It think that settles it.

bewla:
also mine but we will cross some time again

It's what it is Vote and be voted for at your time

My vote doesn't affect yours.
Does it?

I don't know what Atiku did to this guy shaa..

But the fight-back is too rough
(in my own assessment oo)

bewla:
of all you said this what I like most save my day



Truth is truth obi can't win only drawing a name for him self

The soul of this country has long been lost to self center north who believe they are born to rule


Now to you if you believe to safe Nigeria is by surporting a feather weath against super weight let's see how it last

You can't punish innocent Nigeria for fight against Tinubu

I have made up my mind.





Find someone else and preach to.
