airsaylongcome: If there was no freedom of choice in Lagos, PO would not have won Lagos State. We can argue that the results of the presidential elections for Lagos were "doctored" to reduce the lead, but surely there was freedom for the presidential. For Lagos guber, that's a different kettle of fish and a discussion for another day.
Why should the result be doctored to reduce the margin of lead, why should the guber be a different kettle of fish and a discussion for another. This gives credence to my submission that there was no freedom of choice in Lagos.
For pete's sake, we are talking about democracy here, Why should people be deliberately and wickedly disenfranchised based on their religion or ethnic leanings and we don't see anything wrong with it
Tinubu’s you people’s number one enemy. The hate you people have for him and other yorubas will eventually consume you all. Why should people’s invitations be cancelled based on their political affiliations? Apart from them supporting Tinubu’s APC, what other crime did they commit that should result in cancellation of their invitations?
Mind you APC is the only party that has more than one governor in the whole of southeast yet you guys exhibit your hatred at every given opportunity just because it’s headed by a Yoruba.
The most tribalistic tribe in the whole world.
What will you describe Tinubu and Yorubas who played the most religiously and ethnically divisive emilokan brand of politics ever witnessed in the history of this country
naijapips04: Peter Obi cannot point to what he achieved in Anambra state in his 8 year rule aside putting the state funds in his private businesses.
While Tinubu's only legacy after being the governor of lagos state is building a conduit pipe from the coffers of Lagos state Treasury to his personal company Alpha Beta milking the entire common wealth of Lagosians. Now that he has become the president, under five months, He has successfully moved over 180 million Nigerians into multidimensional poverty. What an inglorious record
Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun state, Ladi Adebutu, has described the victory of Governor Dapo Abiodun at the Court of Appeal on Friday as “only temporary,” saying the governor should not rejoice yet.
The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos had on Friday affirmed the election of Abiodun as the validly elected governor of Ogun state in the March 18, 2023 governorship elections.
Two of the court justices, J.S. Ikyegh and Muhammed Mustapha, in their judgement held that Adebutu’s appeal lacked merit and subsequently dismissed it, while the third judge, Justice Jane Inyang in her judgement ordered INEC to organise a rerun within 90 days in the affected 92 polling units where election was cancelled due to violence and election malpractices.
Reacting to the court’s judgement on Saturday, Adebutu who spoke through his Spokesman, Afolabi Orekoya, hinted that he and his party will approach the Supreme court to seek justice.
The PDP chieftain said the Appeal court judgment was an indication that “true justice is on the way and the hope of reclaiming the mandate of the good people of Ogun state is drawing nearer”.
Adebutu said, “The appeal judgement that can be described as the pathway to victory. It resolved unanimously, five out the eight issues in our favour, only one issue in favour of the respondents (Dapo Abiodun and APC) while the other two issues were resolved in ratio two to one.
“We are indeed glad and hopeful that the judiciary at higher level is gradually considering the merits of the petition unlike the lower court that chose to address technicalities in place of merit. Obviously, that human decision has no place in our rule of law and cannot stand. It is however heartwarming that the appeal court resolved all the issues.
“We specially want to salute the courage and boldness of Hon. Justice Jane Inyang who delivered the minority judgment that was well detailed and true to the provisions of the rule of law.
“The judgment which sacked the incumbent Governor, recalled his certificate of return and ordered INEC to organize a rerun within 90 days in the affected 92 polling units where election was cancelled due to violence and election malpractices. This reputable judge also said that INEC should not have made a declaration on the March 18th Governorship election, a fact that is enshrined in the electoral act considering the margin of lead rule.
“We make bold to say that if our courts can emulate the uprightness of Hon. Justice Jane Inyang, there will be a great hope for a greater Nigeria and democracy.
“It should be crystal clear to the placeholders in government of Ogun State that they need not to rejoice over nothing as what they enjoy now is temporal and can not last because the truth will still prevail.
“We call on all the good people and stakeholders in Ogun State to celebrate Hon. Justice Jane Inyang as a role model for true justice and pray for more of such courageous Justices as we move up the ladder.
“We remain committed to our vision of a brighter future for our beloved State.
“To our supporters; Your tenacity and unwavering faith in our cause has continued to replenish our strength even as we continue this battle to reclaiming our mandate. As we continue this legal battle to the top of the ladder, please remain steadfast, the truth will ultimately prevail, and the will of the people will be acknowledged.”
Never4getU: U mumu die. Ur mumu get degree i swear. Why must u play politics with everything? This is why we're not moving forward as a people. Even if he's being critical of Tinubu what has been said of the university is it a matter of gross violation of the body governing university in Nigeria or not?
If anybody is a critic of any political officers doesn't change the rules or bend it in the favor of such individual. The event proved that Baba-Hamed himself not different after all.
This is why our system is faulty because everything is base on ethnic nationality, not on merit.
A person committed a crime against the state needs to be treated as a criminal but no we will read tribalism and religion to it as if it was a crime committed by religion or tribes .
We're crawling but for how long b4 walking?
When I read through this gibberish you just posted, I regret
The Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lokoja has granted counsels to the first applicant in the case of the governorship election petition, Murtala Ajaka of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the leave of the Court to allow access to materials and all documents used in the conduct of November 11 gubernatorial election.
Justice Yusuf Ado Birnin-Kudu gave the order on Saturday, compelling the first respondent in the petition, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to comply within 24hours.
The order followed an application filled by S.E Aruwa SAN , a counsel to the plaintiff, who expressed his inability to access the documents, mainly 42 items, to proceed with his case.
According to Aruwa, all efforts to access the documents at INEC offices in Abuja and Lokoja had proved abortive.
In his preliminary ruling, Justice Birnin-Kudu said the application was meritorious in accordance with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended and the Electoral Law 2023.
He therefore granted the application that the first respondent allow John Adele, SAN, and S E Aruwa SAN, counsels to Ajaka and SDP, certified copies of documents used for the governorship election within two days.
Equally, the chairman of the Tribunal granted the prayers of Adele to compel INEC to also grant him access to Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and other electronic materials used within 48 hours.
Of course there's only one oluomo in Lagos but every Tinubu, his supporters, agbadorian, minion was a thug, a hoodlum unleashing terror, killing, maiming, destroying lives and properties of people believed to be from a particular ethnic group because of their democratic choice
seunmsg: It goes to confirm what I said earlier. Anyone supporting APC is an endangered specie in the south east who must be silenced by all means. Their choice of political must never be respected in as much as they are not supporting Peter Obi and Labour Party. When we do the same to anyone supporting LP in the west and north, no one should cry. We are watching and learning.
But The same APC in Imo state won the recently conducted gubernatorial election. For the first time in recent years, the APC won the entire 27 lga's in Imo state
Why is it that it's only Tinubu's supporters that go about with that lie
It's simple, because Tinubu play tribalistic thuggish emilokan brand of politics and would like to see others get involved.
The Igbos don't play tribalistic or ethnic divisive brand of politics. The Igbos have been supporting other presidential candidates from other regions e reach Tinubu turn, a tribalist with his thuggish tribal emilokan brand of politics, suddenly the Igbos play tribal politics.
seunmsg: Ada Anambra’s only crime was not supporting Labour Party. Now, let that sink in. In south east Nigeria, it’s a crime not to support Peter Obi and Labour Party. If they can do this to an Igbo lady, imagine what they will do to a Yoruba person living in the south east who is a supporter of APC? That’s how bigoted those folks her.
In a democracy people should have freedom of choice but not in south east Nigeria. Intolerance and bigotry like this is what others see that make them take extreme measures to protect their region every election cycle. Hopefully, the “I’m Yoruba but” crew are watching. Labour Party and Peter Obi are Igbo power grab agenda and nothing else.
Anyway, the rest of Nigeria are watching and learning. We will respond appropriately at the right time.
Imagine!
Was there freedom of choice in Lagos and the entire south west
Aren't we witnesses to a tribal, religious and regional emilokan brand of politics in the entire south west orchestrated by Tinubu himself
Didn't we witness in Lagos state the threats, unleashing of terror, carnage, killings, maiming, destruction of lives and properties of people believed to be from a particular ethnic group because of their democratic choice
Are we not still witnessing the systematic destruction of properties and investments of people believed to be from a particular ethnic group many months after the election under the cover that their buildings didn't get the necessary approvals in Lagos
seunmsg: Ada Anambra’s only crime was not supporting Labour Party. Now, let that sink in. In south east Nigeria, it’s a crime not to support Peter Obi and Labour Party.
Seunmsg, what are you you insinuating.
Please take your ethnic bigotry out of here
Are you blind to see that another panelist invitation was also withdrawn for supporting Hope Uzodinma, an Igbo man
The moment you decided to hold your peace and refuse to go into a needles and foolish fight you already know you are not capable of winning, you automatically become a coward!
Who exactly is he gonna fight? Tinubu Lagos APC ? You mentioned Bode George, since Bode George has bn fighting Tinubu, has he won the fight. Not going into a fight you know you cannot win is not a sign of cowardice, it is the use of common sense.
common sense is not common to some cretins though That is why they always engage in foolish fights and end up shooting themselves in the leg and end up screaming they hate us
People like would have advised Obaseki not to fight against his godfather, Tinubu and the APC because he got little chance of winning But he fought and today his better for it.
Are you telling me if an individual like wike was lagos state governor, do you expect such an individual to give up so easily, no!
Tinubu is not God. He is a human no man is infallible. The truth is there come a time in a man's life that he fight his fears. A make or break fight.
MEEVEET: He started late when it was almost over... People told him to make peace don't bit the hand that feed him blah blah
That if he fought his political career would be over... Is it not still over now?
PDP was ever ready to welcome him and hand him the party ticket but he blew away an opportunity that could have made him a hero and end the Tinubu dynasty
Sadwaste: More international standard schools and colleges in Agulu. Meanwhile, I couldn't find a single decent school in Iragbiji.
Two things are involved here, it's either Tinubu is a very wicked man who refused to develop his home town or he was banished from Iragbiji. No place should be so backward like this in 2023!!!
It's an insult to mention development of school and Tinubu in the same sentence.
We are talking about some one who became a guinea pig student of government college lagos used to test run the school four years before it was founded. How can someone with no classmates be interested in the development of schools
If Atiku is an Icon of corruption, what would you describe Tinubu who built a conduit pipe from the coffers of Lagos state Treasury to his personal company Alpha Beta milking the entire common wealth of Lagosians
jrusky: I said f u c k you if you can't answer my question. "Are you cbn staff to know Cardoso convey meeting or not? If you can't provide answe to that fu-ck and fu-ck you very seriously.
I don't engage any Ipobidents motherfucker goat in any discussion because they are naturally a dead beat disgusting mofo pls get off.
Do your worst because Cardoso did not convey any meeting or kill yourself. I hate you all ipobidient with passion pls get lost. Ndiala!
JagabanB: I still maintain that u dón't know anything about history. I met so many of u folks in this election cycle that blab alot. I actually met one who thought the presidential candidates are only 3 in number and he has never heard the name Kwankwaso yet he was talking about how corrupt Nigeria has become. Someone who is not aware of the present is talking about the past. That's how most of u are. Especially 85% of the people supporting Obi. The other 15% are gaslighting the rest of u for their personal gains.
What are you going to describe yourself and your fellow agbadorians
jrusky: I repeat your generation are shameless. [b]I ask you again are you cbn staff to know he haven't convey any meeting? [/b]All the meeting Emefiewerey conducted and constantly billing CBN purse N30 million on each meeting do the calculation for 4 years is that not a bloody scam?
Your generation lack shame by supporting scammer.
F e c k off and rot in hell. Onye izuzu.
Is a MPC meeting something you convey in secret. Is it a secret cult meeting
I was even thinking that you are knowledgeable, I didn't know that you are an internet wildebeest devoid of any meaningful sentience, reason and rationality
