Gandollar bullion vans gravy train have started going round. Instead of them to distance themselves or asking him to go face his criminal trial, they are here boldly endorsing a crook seen stuffing his babanriga agbada with wads of dollar bribe? Later these bastards will tell gullible Nigerians they are out to fight corruption and drugs?

DesChyko:
They have made their choice. The apple never falls far from the tree.

Having a criminal as party chairman is a bad omen

Party of thieves to be spearheaded by big thief

During the just-concluded presidential election, APC's agenda and slogan were " Tinubu built Lagos, and he will build Nigeria ".
With the above-mentioned slogan, Tinubu and APC attracted sympathizers.

Nigerians today are suffering under Tinubu and are calling on the so-called Jagaban who single-handedly transformed Lagos from a forest to a big city to help transform Nigeria

Web2020:
The judges must avoid using any form of technicality on this matter. It is obvious that Olanikpekun could not defend Tinubu, he is now pushing hard on technicality

greggng:
It is the panel that will determine if Peter obi has proven his case or not ...They are not going to sentimental about it ...I will admonish you to wait for the court verdict ...when people without knowledge if law keep saying one had not proven his case one begin to wonder if a carpenter can conduct medical examination .

Apc is hoping to win based on technicality...but is left for the panel and ultimately supreme court to decide. We all know this matter will get to supreme court irrespective of whom won at the tribunal .

Everyone saw how laughable apc lawyers have been ...saying if tinubu us denied the opportunity it might resort to anarchy...but they forgot that abiola thT won free and fair election was denied and nothing happened to Nigeria....The world is watching to see how the court will consider such argument...such argument is only meant for comic entertainment

MadamExcellency:
The honourable SANs should stop making a mess of the legal profession.

25% in Abuja is not fiction.
Certificate forgery is not fiction.
Forfeiture for drugs and money laundering is not a fiction.
INEC posting different figures for Rivers State in IREV and announcing different winners and results is not fiction.

Peter Obi got more votes from one LGA of Borno State than what INEC recorded for the final State result is not fiction.

The world is watching. You can't win on technicalities any longer when the stakes are high.

shortgun:
“Order 22 Rule 5 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019, which is applicable to the proceedings mandates that “a written address shall…contain…(c) the issues arising from the evidence for determination,”

Technicality SAN, sorry sir, the tribunal won't fall for your antics anymore.
The judges said earlier the tribunal will consider all petitions on their merit and not on technicality.
Everything in Obi's petition was captured in his final written address.

DoTheNeedful:
Lol... You think we are all equal on nairaland because we all post comments with paying for them.

To be honest, all Olanipekun did in 87% of his defence was utilise legal technicalities.

Unfortunately he was not able to counter most of the petitions against B.A.T with any evidence.

If the court decides to judge the case by the merit of evidence, you do realise Olanipekun will be shamed, because he actually could not defend B.A.T.

Oga intelligent, the only employed nairaland member that is not underemployed, weh done!
As someone that reads widely & going by your bolded statement, since my expired passport doesn’t nullify my citizenship does that mean your revered SAN of 32years meant that his client is still a citizen of Guinea?

For the records, I really do not care who wins in court.

Hyperchi:
U are a citizen of a country, so na by passport for travel them go use they renew am. This ppl think 9ja na zombies

meum:
Chai, if your Nigerian passport expires better go and look for another country because you are not a Nigerian anymore! If you want to be a Nigerian again, renew your passport!

maupe:
Lead counsel to Tinubu in his written address to the court in his case against PDP/Atiku once again said that Tinubu's Guinean citizenship expired the moment his Guinean passport expired in 2020

Below is the address.

popesco123:
Some bastaard dollard full here sha. Citizenship is granted by law. The life span of the passport booklet lies on the expiry date. Mumu every where.

Wahabfuture:
I don't think it's about hate, I think it has to do with thugs beating people in Lagos unless you are a yoruba and rigging ...... go to court, it's a stupid statement. Politics in Lagos for the past 2 decades is a disgrace to democracy, who built it that way ... Tinubu.
Everything about that man smells thuggish. I am not a fan

Spy360:
The defense is poor because it misinterpretes the issues raised by the petitioners. If Olanipekun does not know what he is defending he should ask Livy

AK481:
What did he say about tinubu drug forfeiture ?

Racoon:
Shamelessness @ it peak. A question I wish to ask the APC and the criminal Organisation filled with shameless institutional election riggers, that with the incongruent results on INEC data base, the overt denial of results issued by it and the general conducts in the shambolic 2023 presidential election does they think they have a moral conscience?

EyeCumInPeace:

Idris will rue this.
In the next 20 years, he'll cry out and start advising youths not to live their lives like he did.
I know his type.

Emilo:
I’m currently a lecturer here in Canada so what are u saying. I have always advocated for award n recognition based on faculties or departments and not entire school. It makes other hard working individuals not noticed. But what do I know.

Emilo:
All these best student is not just balanced at all. Imagine someone getting 5.0 studying geology, engineering or even Zoology to someone with 5.0 studying fine arts, music or marketing. They should be best in each faculty and not merge the entire school. It makes no sense!

I like to know what course she did?

Bigkoko:
There are boxes upon boxes of evidence before the honorable judges of how PO won. INEC own documents. Lol.

Was really expecting Asiwaju to bring his own boxes upon boxes of evidence of how he won... But even his legal team are tired sey ni. Instead of Prof Yaks to rig like others, he reach Asiwaju turn he go do am Sha Sha ...now we don catch am. Witness no gree testify. Even the two that came further indict him, making the legal team to call off brining in witnesses.

Look my friend, Asiwaju is a gonner. He was simply sabotaged by INEC in lieu for Atiku, but they all didn't see the Peter Obi upset coming. That's why we believe him.

The average northern person except off course their elite, wants Peter Obi. Only raccoons like Gandollar and El Rufai associate with Asiwaju.

Penguin2:
Hmmmm!

See, I feel the judiciary is boxed to a corner.

Their integrity has never been more questioned like it’s being questioned now and I feel they must have some compulsion to salvage what is left of their image.

Everyone knows that Obi won the election. Or for some of you who think otherwise, at least you would agree that a lot malpractices took place.

The only reason it’s in contention whether anything will come out of the courts is just because of legal procedures and technicalities. Apart from that, it shouldn’t even be debated whether the courts will declare Obi winner.

Again, don’t forget the EU report which cast the election in bad light. The judiciary is further boxed into not upholding the election or risk inflicting an irreparable damage to its image.

Considering all these therefore, with the facts laid in court so far, I see a rerun, not runoff, where all participants would still participate.

I feel like Tinubu is already envisaging this and that’s why he has been extending hand of friendship to people like Kwankwaso, and packing appointments to Southsouth to try to get the people of the region to his side.

But I won’t be surprised if Tinubu is disqualified.

Just like I still won’t be surprised if the election is upheld (highly unlikely but this is Nigeria).
