The both candidates from APC can b disqualified while d person with d 2nd highest number of votes will b declared winner. It may just b an admonition to PDP not to interfair so as to have a winner at d end of d day.

fergie001:
Since December 5?
They can't be serious.

bekpo:
I disagree with u sir!

fergie001:
He cannot because the Certificate issue has not been decided at the Appeal Court...The Supreme Court won't touch it.


Forgery ....that is when they bring the cert issues.

fergie001:
What I think is this:

At this stage, the PDP can't do anything because they were not plaintiffs in this case, if there will be any reprieve for them....It is at the tribunal.

What the Court is doing here is determining who won the Primaries.

Don't also forget that the Ibezim Certificate saga isn't part of this appeal.

Ararume is arguing on that the Primaries that returned him as winner was the valid one.,

The FHC said the valid Primaries was that which returned Ibezim and Ararume placed third in that...but the FHC said that the Screening Committee screened out Ibezim and the man who placed second, and there was no proof that the NWC cleared them. (Ibezim wasn't a party)

The Appeal Court nullified the judgement.

My thinking is if it goes to the Election Petition tribunal, the PDP can argue that the Court pronouncing any other person asides Ibezim was past the substitution window...hence cannot be replaced.

Best bet for APC....Ibezim wins.

fergie001:
Yes


Not really....the PDP wanted to be a party to a suit that involved the APC Primaries. The SC simply said No way.

The Primaries are valid...just the candidate is the wahala.

The Party submitted a name.... Ibezim.
If the SC finds Ibezim not OK...they understandably should lose the seat.

MyndisWe:
It is well

fergie001:
They can't because they are not members of the political party.

Their grouse can only be vested in the tribunal, hence making it post-election.

If I am to calculate the total years since he stated wearing uniform till retirement, it's more than 41 years. He entered Nigeria Military school, Zaria (NMS) 1973- 1978. From 1978 - 1981(NDA) He's the longest ever serving military personnel in the history of NA

Chief of Defence Staff in Nigeria is a General without troops unlike in America where they control real power as Chairman Joint Chief of Staff

This is inconsequential.The real thing that will matter is the Bullion vans in Burdillion scandal.

The decision on who should claim the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last by-election in Imo North Senatorial District, Imo State would be made by the Supreme Court on or before February 7 this year.

This became public on Monday at the mention of three appeals filed before the Supreme Court by parties interested in the issue.

The first appeal, marked: SC/971/2020 was filed Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Ararumen against Lady Unchenna Onyeiwu Uba and four others; the second, marked: SC/971/2020, also filed by Ararume against Chukwuma Frank Ibezim and others, and SC/1060/2020 filed by Dr. Edith Chidimma Uwajumogu against Chukwuma Frank Ibezim and others.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) returned the APC winner of the by election held on December 5, 2020 in the Imo North Senatorial district.

It however did not return a candidate for the party on the grounds that there were many court decisions for and against the two main contenders from the APC- Ararume and Ibezim.
When the appeals were called on Monday, and upon enquiry from the court, Ahmed Raji (SAN), who led Ararume’s legal team, told the court that the three appeals were on the same issue.

Although lawyer to one of the respondents in the second appeal, Robert Emukpoeruo (SAN) said the appeal involving his client was slightly different, Raji insisted the appeals were all about the dispute as to who ought to be the authentic candidate of the APC for Imo North Senatorial District of Imo State.

On when the appeals would lapse, being pre-election related, Raji said February 7 this year.
A five-man panel of the court, led by Justice Amina Augie then elected to hear the first appeal, for the other two to abide the decision reached.

Justice Augie assured the parties that all issues would be considered in the single judgment to be rendered.

She frowned at the application for joinder filed by Chino Obiagwu (SAN) on behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Justice Augie noted that the PDP has no business in a matter relating to APC’s internal affairs.
She advised the PDP to direct its energy to the election tribunal if it was interested in challenging the outcome of the election.

Another member of the panel, Justice Emmanuel Agim noted that the PDP intended to act as a spoiler by filing the application, with the intention of causing delay in the determination of the case.

The court, however, could not hear the appeal it set down for hearing on realising that processes were not fully served on parties.

In a ruling, Justice Augie said, in view of the fact that parties have not all been served with necessary court documents, hearing in the case would be rescheduled for February 3 at 12 noon.

She noted that the life span of the appeals would expire by February 7 this year.
By that observation, the court has between February 3 and 7 to render its decision.

iokpebholo:
No sir am not undermining him cos of his tribe sir neither am I undermine his contributions sir,am only saying that we have hundreds of aba kyari in d police force if giv n d same opportunity sir

Dedetwo:
In fact, you are correct on technical terms of military parlance. The unit at Onitsha is 302 Artillery Regiment. However brigade could represent regiment in various armies.

iokpebholo:
Hmmmmmm.we have alot of outstanding police officers sir,Aba kyari is just a lucky man who due to his closeness to those in authority was empowered and provided necessary equipment to excel

gidgiddy:
I am attaching the picture of Obiano and Ibrahim Attahiru in front on the Mosque that angry protesters burnt in Onitsha as a result of Soldiers of the 302 attacking them. In the picture, you can clearly see that Attahiru was still a Brigadier. Even if we were to go by your submission that Attahiru was GOC of 82 Div at the time, the 302 is part of 82 Div and under the overall control of Attahiru.

fergie001:
No....35 years of service or 60 years of age whichever comes first.

gidgiddy:
So your argument is if the 302 is a regiment or a brigade? No matter what it was, it was still under the command of Ibrahim Attahiru, and they commited crimes against Igbos

iokpebholo:
immidiate retirement sir,I will not pity him sir as his promotion was a clear manifestation of d corrupt nation sir.Can u imagine his mates are still Assistant commissioners but himself don nearer reach DIG

fergie001:
Inuwa was born March 21, 1964....he has less than four.

iokpebholo:
if dts d criteria u want to use sir then Inuwa is not qualified as he has only 3.5 yrs to go sir

fergie001:
I am not the one using it....Buhari signed the Police Act himself o.

That was why there are strong allegations that Jitoboh from Bayelsa who has 8 years more was this month promoted to DIG and Galadanchi promoted AIG. He is the only AIG with 4 years left.

southsouthking:
Tinubu did not take the moral lesson of June 12 very serious, if not he wouldn't have teamed up with the abokis to bring Buhari to power.
Tinubu scored an own goal already, the handwriting is very clear.

Funsho Williams will be laughing very hard now.

Dedetwo:
The only foolishness exhibited in this discuss is from you. What a dunce.

Dedetwo:
Have you ever stepped on parade ground?

gidgiddy:
You are not going to deceive anyone here. Lets just assume that everything you wrote above is true.

The 302 regiment was still under the overall command of Ibrahim Attahiru as commander of 82 Div!
