With the engagement Obi is handling, you think birthday wishing is the most important?

PandoraObi:

Peter Obi is never the man he claimed he is, Yoruba supporting him are shortsighted, so just because Peter Obi lost woefully, he didn't congratulate the man of GOD on his birthday because he is Yoruba, what a life, he has started showing his true colour and tribalism.

You are a fraud

PandoraObi:
Effort in futility

Listen, a honest person cannot endorse a fraudulent process irrespective of the ourcome. If your principal has popular mandate, why is he afraid of rerun using bvas and irev as inec set in the procedures and guidelines?

helinues:
6 out of 36? You guys still have Kuvuki to go

We dont have time to go through that process...straight to Supreme Court

MuchAdo:
Mtcheeewwww

Exercise in futility!

We already have laid procedures for challenging electoral disputes.

This is far beyond Wike. More states would join

helinues:
Pdp's state

Wike made the right calculation aswear. Upon how Gov Wike was frequent in Edo state during Gov Obaseki reelection, one would have thought Wike is an Edo resident.

The same Obaseki still had the guts to betray Wike without feeling any remorse. Where was Atiku during Obaseki's reelection? In Dubai

Why should Gov Wike be in the same camp with those who betrayed him openly? If you were Wike, would you support Atiku with Tambuwal and Obaseki in the same camp?

Exactly anf thats why the election oight to have been canceled for inec to conduct usung bvas and irev

Mylove55:
south east delay to upload their result for obi to get 95%,
Obi actually rigged in south

Just urchins who are insignificant compared to 200 million people

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Are you claiming you did not see or read of celebrations in some states or you're just trying to be mischivous ?

Bubu has bad intentions and thats why he has been executing badly for 8yrs[Pquote author=Sundaland post=121427414]

It's really sad it turned out this way unfortunately, despite President Buhari's good intention, I believe, of conducting a credible election as a legacy.[/quote]

How come only APC resisted uploading from polling units to irev immediately?

Mynd44:
All three parties rigged abeg. Let no one come and stress our lives

Nigerians have totally rejected the results hence no nationwide celebration

There is no judgment on this. Provide a link

Wickedfacts:
There's already a judgment on it. You are arguing because you lack knowledge of the existing judgment.

You guys are on overdrive. Funny enough, Lagos indigenes(Jimmy Agbaje, Badamosi, funsho Williams) are always edged out by Yorubas of other states. GRV is the Lagosians,
Sanwo-Olu is from Ogun state

spagettiluv:
Ibo agenda in Lagos is unfolding one by one
They decided to give half blooded yoruba to contest as as to have equal right in Lagos,very soon,they will push their full ibo blooded don to contest.
Someone who can’t communicate in yoruba language

Now he has shot himself again trying to divide Yorubas against each other

Calm down. The Supreme Court needs to give a judgment on this and 50 other counts

Wickedfacts:
Which Mike Igini? That vulcaniser who used old age to study law after wasting his early years.
Falana is a SAN and he said it is not compulsory.

The Supreme Court has said the FCT is like a state. It is not compulsory.
By the time the Supreme Court tells you again that it is not compulsory, I expect you Obidients to start cursing the Supreme Court Justices.

They're not and this clearly shows you're biased. Olisah Agbakoba, SAN came on channels long before election to say he cannot for certainty define whether getting 25% of Abuja is compulsory or not. INEC former rep Igini said its compulsory.

Do you know more than these guys? Are you a SAN?

ethikallyright:
These are basic principles of the relevant statutes. They are the A B C of the Law. The court won't interprete differently because they are not contentious.

We will send from diaspora

Flier:
Be careful! A friend was telling me she received a dm from Obi’s team for financial aid to pursue court cases
Please do not send your hard earn cash to anybody its a scam,Do not donate to anybody!

He will be the only Lagos indigene to be governor since 1999 yet you Yorubas continue to cheat Lagosians

cocolacec:
He has just 15% or 25% Yorùbá Blood✅

His forefathers are full Blooded Serra-leonean... _(Tainted with Liberian blood)_✅

British brought them here.

His great grandfather married a Yorùbá Woman who gave birth to GRV's father(Olawale)

His father is half-Yorùbá half-Serraleonean

And His father married a full Blooded Ibo Citizen who happens to be his(GRV's) Mother. Now the Boy(GRV) himself married a full Blooded Ibo Citizen.

And you thought he'll ever work to defend our interest? He can never and ever think Yorùbá First.

Its your opinion based on your interpretation of the law

ethikallyright:
It's an "opinion" based on the law.
You're free to have yours 👍

Why not have patience before you tell yourself what you wanna hear

THE OPPOSITIONS’ CHANCES ARE SLIM AT THE TRIBUNAL: A LEGAL OPINION


I hereby congratulate His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who was declared the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the 1ST of March 2023 in accordance with the provisions of section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.

The major opposition parties are not satisfied with the outcome of the February 25th 2023 election and have vowed to approach the Election Tribunal to clear their doubts. Based on conversations on the streets and virtual society, my legal opinion on select issues are discussed briefly below.

Legal Issues

1. Where does the Presidential Election Tribunal start and who are the judges that make up the tribunal?

2. Whether images/pictures of result sheets will be admissible by the tribunal as evidence?

3. Whether the election will be declared void or cancelled because the regulations guiding transmission of the results was not complied with?

4. Whether 25% of votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory is a prerequisite to become the President of Nigeria?


1. Where does the Presidential Election Tribunal start and who are the judges that make up the tribunal?

Section 239 (1)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 establishes the Court of Appeal of Nigeria as the Presidential Election Tribunal (See also section 130(2)(b) of the Electoral Act 2022). The venue of the court will most likely be the Court of Appeal (Abuja Judicial Division). Not less than 3 justices of the Court of Appeal will be members of the Presidential Election Tribunal (see section 247 of CFRN 1999). The tribunal must have been set up 30 days before the elections in accordance with section 130 (3)(a) of the Electoral Act 2022.


2. Whether images/pictures of result sheets will be admissible by the tribunal as evidence?

The answer is no. Pictures of results taken or downloaded whether by party agents or electorates will not be admissible as evidence in court. The admissible documentary evidence in court is the result sheet itself as will be presented by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) (See sections 86, 88 and 102 of the Evidence Act 2011). Since the result sheet is a public document (section 102 of the Evidence Act), if it is missing a certified true copy will be tendered in accordance with section 90 (1) ( c ) of the Evidence Act. Electronic evidence from the BVAS system or Ires/INEC’s website can only be tendered by INEC because only the Commission can satisfy the conditions of tendering Electronic Evidence laid down by Section 84 of the Evidence Act and emphasized in the case of Kubour v. Dickson.


3. Whether the election will be declared void or cancelled because the regulations guiding transmission of the results was not complied with?

The answer is most likely no although it is subject to the discretion of the tribunal. Section 135(1) of the Electoral Act 2022 is quoted below:

“An election shall not be liable to be invalidated by reason of non-compliance with the provisions of this Act if it appears to the Election Tribunal or Court that the election was conducted substantially in accordance with the principles of this Act and that the non-compliance did not affect substantially the result of the election.”

The provision quoted above means that even if INEC does not conduct the election exactly as stated in the Act, the election will be valid as long as the provisions violated did not affect the result of the election “substantially”.

4. Whether 25% of votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory is a prerequisite to become the President of Nigeria?

The answer is no. Section 134 of CFRN 1999 states that a candidate must not have “less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja” to become the President of Nigeria. That provision must be read together with section 299 of the same constitution which gives the FCT, Abuja, the status of a state. The court of Appeal will not deviate from the decision of the Supreme Court in Bakare v. Ogundipe (2021) where the supreme court reiterated the status of the FCT Abuja as a state in accordance with section 299 of CFRN 1999. Even in the classical case of Shagari V. Awolowo, the Supreme Court of Nigeria counted “Lagos” which was then the seat of government as a state to determine whether the candidates had 25% in the required states.

GRV is the next governor. LP will reinforce our victory

Tflex01:
Some of you go loss if you try any rubbish next week Saturday sha.

Better stay for your house.

You really think these campaigns of calumny will work?

cocolacec:
OMG!!!

This guy can't even speak YORUBA LANGUAGE.

But i can bet everything I have that he can speak IGBO LANGUAGE FLUENTLY.

I told you I know these people.

If you as a YORUBA MAN ever get children from IGBO WOMAN, be sure that YOUR CHILDREN ARE MOST DEFINITELY IGBOS.

They only have Yoruba NAMES attached to themselves and Yoruba BLOOD running in their veins but in CHARACTER AND SOUL THEY ARE IGBOS.

What an audacity by the ZIONISTS to attempt this on Lagos.

Our Elders talk about the FOOL who picks his nostrils with the head of a live cobra.

We are waiting!!!

So why were results not uploaded immediately after election from polling units?

Mylove55:
apc were not having that time to rigged election because they were watching their back in order not to fall into buhari cabals trap, efcc even went to tinubu poling unit, they did not go to obi and atiku poling unit,
Emefiele were really out to disgrace APC governors as a result of the naira crisis,
That is the reason for apc small margin, the winning suppose to more than 5m gap

Who is conducting the election? Obi or INEC?

Did Obi rig Lagos, Abuja and Plateau too?

Mylove55:
where apc won came first,
Follow by where kwakwanso,
Then,Follow by where atiku won, obi result came last,
So , who is the rigger here.
Just imagine Enugu and anambra, 94% and 95% respectively

Lets watch n see

LegendHero:
This is Bola Tinubu.

No man can overturn his election. Have he not taught you people enough lesson already?

You guys boldly said we should go to court yet jittery that we want to go to court. Mind your business

Rebelutionary:
And you want to make us believe the one with 6Million is the winner without even the required 25% in 25 states? Wow...yeah keep telling yourself that he was rigged atleast it helps you sleep fine!

Obi is a movement

We're saying upload results from polling units to irev. Only people who wants to rig fought this

Mylove55:
Atiku rigged in the north,
Obi rigged in the south
This is what gave me confidence even more than tinubu himself.
I projected if Tinubu get 40% in north and south, he will be declare the winner,
Or just to be second behind atiku in north and obi in the south.

Even if both go to court,
They will both lose

When it is overturned, I'll mention you

LegendHero:
As a true Muslim, the election wasn’t rigged.

Are you now afraid of the court?[quote author=fareed69 post=121418288][/quote]

You're using a rigged result to judge positions when we have the polling unit results.

As a true Muslim, can you state that the election wasnt rigged?

LegendHero:
Obi is too desperate. Man was even crying like a kid with lost feeder.

I thought Obidients always say he is not desperate. His desperation is even out of the world. The mugu came third, he dey cry say na him get mandate.

Wetin make Atiku come do?

You asked us to go to court and at the same time discouraging us from going to court.

Why cant you mind your business?

Obi even in a rigged election, won 3 northern states yet you're blinded by hatred

zomby:
First of all, going to court is a waste of time and free money for the lawyers. Nothing is going to happen, Jagaban is our next president. Atiku clearly knows this fact…He completely understands the power of the incumbent president or government. This is why we will not be hearing much from Atiku in regards to overturning the election results.
But on the other hand, the Igbos case is totally different, the entire world knows that the flatheadss don’t think before making their moves; they lack strategy of any kind… everything they do is based on senseless emotions. For this reason it is very simple to predict their next move.

What is next for the Igbos?
Their next move for the next presidential election is: Abandon the LP and attempt to align with the PDP to tackle the APC. But I can assure you that even if they align with the PDP, the northerners will never vote for an Igbo presidential candidate… for obvious reasons.
So, it looks like either way the Igbos have entered a 1 chance.

Only time will tell.
