I hope tomorrow if president Tinubu start appointing northerners into his cabinet some people will not start writing EU, FIFA, UN and TALIBAN.

. They will write to IPOB and invite Paul Biya of Cameroon. Biafra or death, zoo and the rest will rent the air.

Wike and vawulence are like 5 and 6. Ayu will be shitting in his agbada by now.

Appeal court has settled the issue of fake certificate, I suppose. The case of overvoting also was not well established with evidence. Even if apc were given the benefit of the doubt and dedications were made, they would still lose. No ground for apc's victory up to the supreme court. So, let's face next elections.

The certificate issue is slightly different. Because he didn’t have his degree certificate at appeal court. Neither was the issue of primary certificate. And the INEC and PDP calculations on overvoting is wrong.

30 Grounds Why Tribunal Should Dismiss Oyetola's Petition- INEC, PDP & Adeleke

Respondents in the peition filed by former Governor Gboyega Oyetola against the election of Governor Ademola Adeleke have canvassed 30 grounds why the election Tribunal should dismiss the petition with cost awarded against the petitioners.

In a separate final addresses, counsels to the respondents took turn to demolish the petition, positing that the petitioners have failed to substantiate its allegations of over-voting and certificate forgery.

Counsel to the 1st respondent, the electoral commission, Prof Paul Ananaba SAN who filed reply on point of law raised objection to the documents tendered by the petitioners on 30th of December 2022 and filed on the same day.

He said the petitioner failed grossly in proving the allegations raised against the return of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the July 16 governorship election, urging the court to dismiss the petition in its entirety.

He submitted that the law empowers the INEC to accept the nomination of a candidate once it is satisfied that it met requirements, citing the case of Atiku vs INEC where court pronounced that President Buhari is eminently qualified to contest elections.

"By section 318 of the Constitution, our duty is very clear. All INEC is expected to do is to be satisfy that the applicant is qualify. And Section 318 talked about what is allowed and from the form submitted by the 2nd respondent, INEC was satisfied and that was what the Constitution requires. We took notice that the Second respondent was a former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," he noted.

On the issue of synchronization of result as being challenged by APC and Mr Oyetola, he submitted to the Tribunal that the petitioner based its petition on an inaccurate data, and so, can not establish the case of over-voting.

He quoted Section 62 (1-3) of the Electoral Act that empowers the Commission to continuously update the result of elections housed in its database, explaining this as the basis for the synchronization of the data in its custody.

"Much more my Lord, the petitioner made a heavy weather on Exhibit BVR. My Exhibit BVR date January 27 was a report of accreditation for the entire units in Osun state, which is 3763 units. And in the Tribunal, the BVR has been presented by the petitioner by what it is not," he explained

Anababa, SAN, said the APC hurriedly went to the INEC to demand for the result of the election while synchronization was still ongoing, adding that the APC filled their case prematurely.

He submitted to the Tribunal that the law is clear that over-voting can only be established when the number of votes in a unit is compared with the complete accreditation data, urging the court to accept Exhibit RVBR as the complete accreditation data.

"By Section 62 (3) and 74(1) gave birth to Exhibit RBVR. The petitioners came to the Tribunal prematurely," he submitted.


"Since the law as at 2022 was that this record of election is updated on a continuous basis, a petitioner will file petition when he is sure of the basis.

"I submit that the petitioners were not diligent because the petition was in disregard of Section 62 (3) therefore, I submit that there is no basis for this petition.

"RWC was a certified true copy of a physical examination of the BVAS machines used for the election, which is more reliable. And we brought the BVAS machines. BVAS machines are the raw primary evidence.

"Even when there is a conflict at the polling unit on whether accreditation, Section 64 (6a&b) specifies what needs to be done. We have presented the original data, the petitioner supposed to bring form EC8A, which are the basis for the declaration of results, not a report. Results were not declared based on BVAS report but based on collated results."

Anababa however urged the court to dismiss the case for lack of merit, maintaining that the election was conducted in full compliance of the law.

In his own submission, the counsel to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Dr. Onyebuchi Ikpeazu, SAN, prayed the court to dismiss the petition for lacking merit, noting that the 2nd respondents election as Osun State Governor was in order.

He argued that the petitioners failed to call any evidence to support its weighty allegation as required by the law, maintaining that the respondents did not forge any document as alleged.


"The petitioners did not call any documentary evidence that he didn't satisfy the requirements of Section 177(d) of the Constitution. The document and requisite evidence that they are obligated to call witnesses from the institutions to disown documents that were allegedly forged by the 2nd respondent.

"That burden and standard of proof must be beyond reasonable doubt has not been discharged by the petitioner. EW2 owned up that he didn't know anything about the institution or worked with the makers of the document presented by the 2nd respondent."

He cited a judgement of the Appeal Court on similar issue which affirmed the eligibility of the 2nd respondent, stressing that by law the judgement is still in effect as no appeal was filed to challenge it

"Also, there is a court judgement of the Appeal Court, which means judgement in rem."

On the issue of over-voting, he said the petitioners based it claims on erroneous grounds and so should not be entertained by the Tribunal.

"My Lord, the petitioner star witness, he did not tender any BVAS report as the basis of his witness statement. In paragraph 5 of his witness statement, he wrote categorically that he obtained the BVAS report on July 17 2022. The strength of it is that not having tendered his BVAS report, which founded the purported evaluation he adduced, there is no basis whatsoever for his report. If there is no BVAS report of July 17 in his witness statement, there is no case."

"The petitioner tendered Exhibit BVR, which was purportedly certified true copy, not on the 17 but on the July 27. This mean BVR was dumped on the Tribunal. The receipt of the purportedly tendered in support has a date of July 28. The document tendered did not correspond with the date on the receipt of the documents tendered. Section 104 of Evidence Act."

He urged the Tribunal to base its judgement on the BVAS machines, which according to him is the primary source of entries for accreditation in the election.

"The question now is, what is the certified true copy of that original. The certified of the original is Exhibit RWC tendered through RW1 and forming the basis for the report of RW2. BVR is flawed by the evidence of PW1 and PW2. Extraction from the INEC database is not the same as extraction from the BVAS machines.

"None of the agents of the petitioners in the contested 749 polling units contested the results in those units. They signed the results. Those results they signed as authentic with no over-voting can only mean Section 165 of the Electoral Act. The entries in form EC8A tally with figures in RWC. Section 47(2) of the Electoral Act, mandated that accreditation should produce with a technological device and a voters register."

Counsel of the PDP, Dr. Alex Iziyon, SAN, also submitted that the Tribunal dismiss the petition of the petitioners for lacking merit, asking the panel to uphold the election of the 2nd respondent.

"The language of the law is simple on the issue of qualification for the office of the governor which is the case at hand and that is a prove that a person attended UP TO school certificate level.

"Case of allegation of qualifications according to the constitution, section 134(3) must relate to the current election in dispute on which the petitioners failed in the written addresses.

"The issue of testimonial forgery has been previously raised and decided by the court of appeal. It is a judgement that can no longer be tampered with.

"Again, on the university and Diploma certificates as raised by the petitioners, the petitioners failed to 11 call any witness to lead evidence neither from the institution where the Diploma was issued nor the university. Such failure on the part of the petitioners was fatal and irreparable. Petitioners urging the court now to go back to the 2018 is lazy and fatally lackadaisical on the part of the petitioners.

"The report of BIVAS of July 27, 2022, while the date on the receipt for issuance of the report as required by law was dated 28 July, 2022. Such discrepancy is also too fatal to be pardoned.

"The documents dumped on the court are speaking different language in dates of certification and dates of issuance. The law does not permit such error of speaking in tongues before the law court.

"Such error has rendered those documents legally inadmissible and in a situation where a document is legally inadmissible in court ab nitio, then the court is forbidden to even look at it at all.


"If the petitioners had wanted to dump their petition before the court and ask the court to give them judgement, it would have been a different case. But having elected to call witnesses, submissions of such witnesses must convincingly relate or bolster the documents before the court. In this case, the Petitioners had called a star witness who instead of acting as a star witness, instead deemed whatever star that was in the petition and slaughtered the petition without mercy.


"The PW1 called by the petitioners was to put it mildly, a display of voyage of Christopher Columbus. On one hand, the PW1 claimed to be an expert while on the other, he claimed not to be an expert, a statistician the petitioners relied upon to buttress their figures as claimed in their petition, that to us, is a professional summersault, especially when considered under section 128 of evidence act."


On the BVAS report, Dr Alex Iziyon urged the court to rely on the examination, results and reports extracted from the primary source of evidence, which is the BVAS machines, used for the conduct of the election. He also reminded the court that the report of the BVAS have not been challenged by all parties.

Adeleke will lose based on forged certificates. The reckoning of APC is that Oyetola should win if all polling units with over voting are cancelled as provided in law, not just deduction of overvoting numbers in those polling units.

mployer:
Lol.

Buying the elites while the masses reject you.

The scam continues.

IPOB masses you mean?

Garga01:
Atiku will lead Nigeria Insha Allahu

The Only prepared Candidate to take Nigeria out of poverty and Insucurity

After stealing all our money and selling off all our assets? May God judge you for this.

Validated:
Tinubu is just wasting his time and money on a failed project:
- Buhari is not in support and has since japa
- VP Osinbajo is not in support
- 30 out of 33 ministers are not in support
- 20 out of 22 APC presidential aspirants are not in support
- Northern Elders forum rejected him
- PANDEF rejected him
- CAN rejected him
- Afenifere rejected him
- Ohaneze ndigbo rejected him
- Nigeria Touth rejected him
- Yoruba Christian's have abandoned him
-Even Aisha Buhari, who was following them has jumped ship.

They borne you with lies?

Urheadmaster:


In a very short period of time, many sane Nigerians will abandon the agbado man and the APC m-m tickets for obi for a new Nigeria

They will abandon creator of wealth to follow a spreader of poverty and miserliness? Are you well at all?

Even Dangote has collected his own stipend Mr Blockhead. Because Dangote is no.1 Tinubu fan.

*LABOUR PARTY GOVERNORSHIP Candidate In JIGAWA State, Abdullahi Tsoho Defects To APC. Says Labour Party Doesn't Have Chances Of Winning.*🤭🥱🤣 #2023tinubuisKEY®️🗝️



Obi, why waste people’s money and time? Can’t you see the handwriting on the wall? Tinubu will not give you any ministerial appointment. You better do the needful before its too late.

Fake set up. The vehicles could have belonged to PDP and they are using them to campaign for APC.

SaiOba:
You 4got their sec Banji aka Oyebanji44

These people will be the ones celebrating on Feb.25-26 in shaa Allah.

DIKEnaWAR:
Tambuwal will lose Sokoto to APC.


Saraki go still lose Kwara again.

That’s the best observation I read so far. Politicians at the topmost of affairs know that this election is for Tinubu to win. Others will come distant second and third. Obi may come distant second because of ss and se. Atiku has no dominance anywhere presently.

Lizzysamuel:
Moh247 and his fellow Urchins, you asked for 360 view, here it is.

This is a small gathering to be honest, compared to the size of Plateau State. With this crowd, Peter Obi will definitely not win Plateau State. Tinubu will definitely win Plateau state.

DaddyFreeze2020:
Late comer. He decided to sign his own now that the signs are clear and the odds of winning 2023 General Election are not in his favour

With Tinubu as its flagbearer, APC unfortunately cannot and will not win the 2023 Presidential election.

You must be intoxicated. G-5 already agreed that Tinubu has one leg in Aso Rock already. You are here drinking Next Beer to stupor and talking like Obi the scammer.

ubest1:
Southern Kaduna will be on fire tomorrow for LP, Obi is not known in the North abi?

Using ethnic and religious card to get elected is the most ominous sign for destruction of Nigeria. Nigeria can only get more divided and scattered if Obi wins. IPOB will be leading that dismemberment.

Nightwolf1:
Thieves fighting thieves. E no concern us.

Obi will soon be dragged into the vawulence. The Dezianigate, the pandoragate, the Money laundrygate in Lagos are cases that need watering.

Qatar2022:
Advocate of nonsense

Those who want thieves to rule us spotted.

seunmsg:
This is the right thing to do. Those who think there is a valid case of corruption or drug dealing against Tinubu should also approach the court instead of engaging in social media trial.

Keyamo has put his money where his mouth his. He has proven that he’s not an empty chest beater and a social media noisemaker. The ball is now in the court of Atiku and PDP to respond appropriately. Kudos, Mr. Keyamo. Na man you be.

You have just spoken my mind. Obi must also be dragged into this vawulence!!! He has a case to answer. And I want to see something in Obi supporters. Obi cases include the pandora files, the 250 million money laundry in Lagos residence, the money he ordered his Fidelity Bank CEO to collect from Deziani in Abuja, knowing fully well that it is stolen money (money laundry). We want these examined in court.

Is this a funeral procession? Too bad, the man could not have been popular……see the scanty crowd.

Enemyofpeace:
Help us solve this matter. Who should buy the pumping machine?

Ideally it is the tenants after the first one is provided by landlord when tenancy started. This is the breakdown is most likely due to ware and tear after prolonged and excessive use by tenants. It’s like replacing the bulbs in the house etc.

Who knows the names of two celebrity lunatics in Nigeria? Anyone who gets the answer will be given opportunity to administer 100 lashes of koboko on them.

AntiTerrorist:
Read this comment of yours and yourself questions?

1. Does stating the obvious means wailing like hungry dog?

2. Do you have any evidence (link, video or picture) to prove that all pastors in Lagos are taking salaries from Tinubu?

3. Where is Tinubu getting the money he is using to pay all pastors in Lagos?

I don’t need to answer you. In about 4 weeks everything will become clear to you.

AntiTerrorist:
Okay but to be very honest, we Yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. Even MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians and they all agree. Christians are not slaves or second class citizens in Nigeria.

You are just wailing for nothing. All your pastors in Lagos are taking salaries from Tinubu. You dey there dey wail like hungry dog.

AntiTerrorist:
Okay but to be very honest with you, we Yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. Even MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians and they all agree. Christians are not slaves or second class citizens in Nigeria.

And you expect yoruba muslims to vote any Christian in future?

floret23:
I am a Yoruba man from Osun and also a politician. If I tell you that many APC apologists in Osun are not happy with Tinubu, you believe. They prefer Osinbajo.

Its a lie. I am in the know. If they prefer Oshinbajo why didn’t they vote for him? Is it Oshinbajo that could not win his polling unit they prefer? You are definitely not a politician.

onez:
I discovered something while following the campaign train of major candidates. Tinubu though respected by some section of south west, is never loved. This is sharp contrast to Obi and to a lesser degree with Atiku. Tinubu does not evoke any form of love among the people of south west. This will be his greatest albatross.

Another cry of the slowpoke. We yorubas know our leader. We love him far more than you love your pandora thief. You cannot cause disaffection among us.

*BREAKING: SULTAN OF SOKOTO WRITES*;

*Hold me responsible if Peter Obi didn't perform well, the problem of the North is from the north, not Peter Obi or an Igbo man, it will be worst and more deadly for the North if Tinubu wins, if they tell you an Igbo man is the problem of Nigeria, tell them Igbo man never rule Nigeria before and north is world poverty capital*

*Sultan of Sokoto writes to all Hausa and Fulani ahead of election *

*North has no sense and can't reason far, that's why their life is not regarded as anything, vote for someone who will value you like they value life in Igbo land*.

*I can't keep calm again, the north is bleeding because of our choice of Presidential candidate, and we must rewrite history by getting it right this time around, voting for someone who Buhari is healthier than, is a legendary stupidity*.

*Since Fulani has been ruling Nigeria, what has the North achieved, the highest number of beggers still in the North, not the east, all manner of death and killings happen here not in Igbo land while Fulani is in power, this time around let an Igbo man rule Nigeria.*



*Buhari has failed to endorse him, Obasanjo has failed to endorse him, Johnathan has failed to endorse him.*

*No past president has endorsed him. Even Osinbajo has not endorsed Tinubu. But it is you, who barely eats a meal a day that is shouting "on your mandate we shall stand".*

*~Sultan of Sokoto*
Pls confirm this news if truly it is coming from the sultan, if true, then Nigeria is about to change for good.

Obidiotsz and lies are like 5 and 6. I swear on my anus, the sultan will never say these nonsense!!!

Andrew Liver salt crowd. They will soon fizzle out.
