To clarify what

The APC has become so jobless that they now listen to their own gossips

Saao:
and the deputy will take over

How?

Both will be disqualified. It's a joint ticket

Remember what happened in Bayelsa David Lyon and his deputy

So watery



What is the business of APC with how the LP nominate it's candidate. A case the supreme court has already dealt with in the Akpabio and lawan case

[quote author=FreeStuffsNG post=122439144]The legal fireworks have not even physically started yet the pack of lies by lp is being shredded.
Mr Obi and LP sued APC and Asiwaju but never sued Alhaji Atiku and PDP.smh.

He also failed to turn in the lp register to prove he was a registered member of lp as at the deadline to participate in the primaries.

All the shenanigans of replacing lawful candidates of political parties must stop by the time these Judges give serious fines and pronouncement to jail the INEC official who waved this aspect of the law.

Same LP is in another court prosecuting their former national chairman, Abure, for perjury and forgery.

You claimed to be offering free stuffs, but you lack common sense that seems to be a free gift of nature

So this is what the APC legal team could come up with. Very watery

The All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday, prayed the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja to dismiss the petition filed by the Labour Party (LP) and its Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, against the emergence of Sen. Bola Tinubu as president-elect in the February 25 election.

The APC, the 4th respondent, urged the PEPC to reject the petition in its notice of preliminary objection marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023 and filed at PEPC’s Secretariat on Monday night by Thomas Ojo, a member of the party’s legal team led by Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, in Abuja.

The party asked the tribunal to dismiss the petition with substantial cost on the grounds that it lacked merit and was frivolous.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obi, the 1st petitioner, and LP, the 2nd petitioner, had sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Tinubu, Sen. Kashim Shettima and APC as 1st to 4th respondents, respectively.

The petitioners are seeking the nullification of the election victory of Tinubu and Shettima in the Feb. 25 presidential poll.

While former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came second with 6,984,520 votes in the election, Obi came third with 6,101,533 votes.

Abubakar and PDP are also challenging the outcome of the poll.

However, in the petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023 filed by Obi and LP’s lead counsel, Livy Ozoukwu, they contended that Tinubu “was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the time of the election.”

The petitioners claimed there was rigging in 11 states, adding that they would demonstrate this in the declaration of results based on the uploaded results.

Obi and LP said INEC violated its own regulations when it announced the result despite the fact that at the time of the announcement, the totality of the polling unit results had yet to be fully scanned, uploaded and transmitted electronically as required by the Electoral Act.

Among other prayers, the petitioners urged the tribunal to “determine that, at the time of the presidential election held on February 25, 2023, the 2nd and 3rd respondents (Tinubu and Shettima) were not qualified to contest the election.

“That it be determined that all the votes recorded for the 2nd respondent in the election are wasted votes, owing to the non-qualification of the 2nd and 3rd respondents.

“That it is determined that on the basis of the remaining votes (after discountenancing the votes credited to the 2nd respondent), the 1st petitioner (Obi) scored a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election and had not less than 25 per cent of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of the states of the federation and the FCT and satisfied the constitutional requirements to be declared the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

“That it be determined that the 2nd respondent (Tinubu), having failed to score one-quarter of the votes cast at the presidential election in the FCT, was not entitled to be declared and returned as the winner of the presidential election held on February 25.”

Responding, the APC prayed the court to dismiss the suit on the ground that Obi, the 1st petitioner, lacked requisite locus standi to institute the petition because he was not a member of LP at least 30 days before the party’s presidential primary to be validly sponsored by the party.

It said: “The 1st petitioner (Obi) was a member of PDP until May 24, 2022.

“1st petitioner was screened as a presidential aspirant of the PDP in Apni 2022.

“1st petitioner participated and was cleared to contest the presidential election while being a member of the PDP.

“1st petitioner purportedly resigned his membership of PDP on May 24, 2022, to purportedly join the 2nd petitioner (Labour Party) on May 27, 2022.

“2nd petitioner conducted its presidential primary on May 30, 2022, which purportedly produced 1st petitioner as its candidate, which time contravened Section 77(3) of the Electoral Act for him to contest the primary election as a member of the 2nd petitioner.”

The party argued that Obi was not a member of LP at the time of his alleged sponsorship.

The APC argued that “by the mandatory provisions of Section 77 (1) (2) and (3) of the Electoral Act 2022, a political party shall maintain a register and shall make the such register available to INEC not later than 30 days before the date fixed for the party primaries, congresses and convention.”

It stated further that all the PDP’s presidential candidates were screened on April 29, 2022, an exercise in which Obi participated and was cleared to contest while being a member of the party.

It argued that the petition was incompetent since Obi’s name could not have been in LP’s register made available to INEC at the time he joined the party.

The APC equally argued that the petition was improperly constituted, having failed to join Atiku Abubakar and PDP, which were necessary parties to be affected by the reliefs sought.

“By Paragraph 17 of the petition, the petitioners, on their own, stated that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar came second in the presidential election with 6,984,520 votes as against the petitioners who came third with 6,101,533 votes;

“At Paragraph 102 (ii) of the petition, the petitioners urged the tribunal to determine that the 1st petitioner scored the majority of lawful votes without joining Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the petition.

“For the tribunal to grant prayer (iii) of the petitioners, the tribunal must have set aside the scores and election of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar must be heard before his votes can be discountenanced by the tribunal,” it said.

The party, therefore, argued that the tribunal lacked the requisite jurisdiction to entertain pre-election complaints embedded in the petition as presently constituted, among other arguments.

The APC urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition with substantial cost as the same was devoid of any merit and founded on frivolity

Draslo:
Moved to tears indeed. The teacher of that kindergarten class did to her students how social media did to create Obidients. Blank slate brain, oya collect and digest, no think am.

If Tinubu today goes to any school any where in Nigeria, no school kid will say "mr president"

There difference is theirs is mere propaganda while the Obidients reply with facts.

For the morally bankrupt elders and youths who are turning a blind eye , supporting evil and giving useless factchecks.

If you say forfeiture is not a crime, why is the EFCC applying for forfeiture of properties believed to be proceeds gotten illegally?

If forfeiture is not a crime, why is the government of our nation making deziani madueke lose her properties abroad and in Nigeria?

Answer these questions and know that bola tinubu is an international embrassment. And anyone or organization trying to cover him is a criminal being or a criminal organization.

Tinubu should make his way to Nigeria as quick as possible to appear before the court and Nigerians.

His plan is to run away from Nigeria then appear in the morning of May 29 to be sworn in

Tagging Obidients as terrorist, then accusing Peter Obi of terrorism

successmatters:
Show me where Tinubu has ever used such words in his entire history?

The only words tinubu uses often and always are, grab it! Snatch it! run away with it and that is exactly what his thugs did when they went about grabbing and snatching ballots boxes, engaging in voter suppression, intimidation, killing and maiming of people who might have a different democratic choice

Ikaeniyan0:
They are likely waiting till the last day before they reply the petition by the LP

Okay

Wagwanbrethren:
Not hate, son. Just my observation!

Please extend your observation to others as well for balance because I noticed that you so focused on Peter Obi reason it is beginning to turn to hate

Ikaeniyan0:
You should know the APC is intentionally doing this

They have till thursday

I'm sure the reply is ready by now, they will likely file it on thursday

What do by they (APC) are intentionally doing it

Wagwanbrethren:
Lol. Of course they must, but when will you address awkuzu Sars and bring the perpetrators to book?

I'm beginning to see this dude as a hypocrite, always looking to score political point. I'm not sure if this guy have ever spoken against the Monday sit at home, or the killing going on in his state, but is always "very concerned" and "deeply saddened" once it comes to others state, condemning and pointing fingers when you are also guilty of the same offence.

Again, he's very right about the killing going on there,it's too much,and something should be done ASAP!

If you Emancipate yourself from this hate, I bet you things will surely be good for you

The evidence are so overwhelming reason they are in disarray. The don't know how to counter it

accordadoga29:
Message or no message, what I know is that Ashiwaju will be the president of Nigeria from May 29, 2023 to May 29, 2031.

INEC violated the constitution, the electoral law and its guidelines

A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Nicolas Felix, on Tuesday said the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will appoint only talented people into his cabinet after taking the oath of office on May 29.

Felix, who spoke in an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, noted that Tinubu’s appointment would be based on competency and not party affiliations.

He noted that every Nigerian matters, regardless of their political party, adding that Tinubu had said he would build a government of national unity.




He said, “Asiwaju is a man that rewards loyalty, he rewards hard work, there are also Nigerians out there who are not members of our party who are also talented and experienced and capable.


“He is going to also look beyond his APC and start picking those who are out there. But I am also very sure as he has stretched his hands of fellowship to say “I want to build a government of national unity, If you are in PDP, If you are in Labour Party, you are in other parties, we are all Nigerians.”

He urged Nigerians to join hands with Tinubu to make Nigeria work again.


“When a president is elected, what is expected of every patriotic Nigerian is to join hands with the President to work together, except you are just here for your selfish interest. If you really want the growth of Nigeria, you want Nigeria to be better. Whatever you have to offer, you have to present yourself for service.

“He has already stretched his hands of fellowship. It is up to them to accept it and join him. I am sure he is not going to be running after people, he has already said come, let’s brainstorm. As many are willing to go to Asiwaju’s door, the President-elect for them to join hands together.”
