It's obvious from this that wike will win this appeal
The tribunal nullified the election on two grounds:
1. The non use of card readers
2. The election was marred by violence by security operatives and thugs

On ground one, the Supreme Court yesterday in Okorochas case stated that card readers are allien and it not being used would not invalidate an election.
On ground two, the court of Appeal has just expunged all records and evidences against the alleged violence by security operatives and thugs.
Therefore the petition by apc and dakuku lacks merit. And the judgement by the tribunal will be set aside.
Who's up for a bet?

Ooopppsss imma wrong thread...not ready for this.

Vikkie14:
So, who's to blame? Simply put, they valued RELIGION more than ECONOMY.... No Arguement. No no no no, dont tell me that.

Ask their elites why their people remain in poverty. They didnt create the enabling "environment" needed for their economic activities to grow. Blame their Elites for their poverty.

That crude oil excuse is a very very very very bad lie. Find another lie. Did the oil stopped them from engaging in their own agricultural processes? Did the South compelled them to stop their Agric for Oil? What happened to their Groundnut Pyramids of those days? What happened to Kano's IGR? They have ruled Nigeria than the SS/SE/SW combined.

lol.... Let me just keep mute on this

the problem of the north relies solely on their ruling elites. They've held position in the government than the south. They are just Religion-oriented than being economically progressive with an enabling environment. If their IGR are so low compare to their southern counterpart, who's to blame? The south developed it's Economy and focused more on Financial independence than being religiously centred.

all4naija:
Plus the notion of to rule the nation is their birthright that gives room to look away from other sources to contribute. They have performed poorly as leaders.

The truth can be uttered in a more diplomatic way. The bad habbits u pick up on social media can easily erode ur sense of diplomacy. Freedom of expression comes with a price. U dnt wanna pay it, I assure u.

dekdek:
This is worth listening to. I implore all economists to sit down, digest and debate all issues the emir of kano raised.

•Borno governor meets with Imam

As Boko Haram holding any part of Nigeria’s territory? Yes, says Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, who claims the sect is occupying two local governments in his state.

But the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai, disagrees, saying the military has routed the insurgents from every inch of the country’s land.

The governor was addressing a visiting Federal Government delegation led by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr. Babachir David Lawal.

Lt. Gen. Buratai spoke with reporters in Jos, the Plateau State capital.



Shettima said: “They(Boko Haram) are at present controlling two local governments in Borno State; Abadam and Mobbar and they are partially in Marte.”

He added: ”At some point, Boko Haram overran 20 out of our 27 local government areas in Borno State. They overran four local government areas in Adamawa and two in Yobe.”

Lt. Gen Buratai, who spoke with reporters after addressing troops at the Headquarters of 3 Division, the Marxwel Khobe Cantonment, said: “No Boko Haram is holding any territory in Nigeria at the momment, I have not heard any Boko Haram member or leader making such claim, they are no more in control.

“We are more determined and we have more professional soldiers on the ground, we have been trained and equipped and ready to face the challenge, if any, posed by Boko Haram”.

On the December deadline given the military by President Muhammadu Buhari to stamp out Boko Haram, the army boss said: “I can confidently say we are on course, we are mindful of our target, and we know we have two months to achieve that target. We don’t have doubt in our minds, we will achieve our target by December 31.”

The army boss told the troops said he was in Jos on a familiarisation visit and to acquaint the troops with his vision to reposition the Army following his appointment aa service chief

The troops bombarded the army boss with complaints mostly on welfare. He promised to address them.

Lt. Gen. Buratai was with the GOC,3 Division, Maj. Gen. Hassan Umaru and others.

Governor Shettima yesterday alongside Heads of the Army, Police and Department of State Service and the Shehu of Borno, ‎Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Elkanemi met with Imams of mosques in Maiduguri, Jere, district heads (Aja) and ward heads (Lawans) to discuss security matters aimed at developing fresh strategies to prevent recent tricks deployed by Boko Haram insurgents who attack worshippers at predawn prayers at mosques in Maiduguri.

The General Officer Commanding the 7th Division of the Army in Maiduguri, the Police Commissioner and the Director of the DSS attended.

Governor Shettima told them that similar meetings would be held by the emirs of Biu and Shani with imams in local government areas not yet under attack so that worshippers would not be taken unawares. Shettima said while the Imams lead worshippers during congregational prayers and also head management of various mosques, ward heads are required to ensure that worshippers in every mosque across the over 30 wards in Maiduguri, Jere and surrounding areas adhere strictly to the resolutions reached at the meeting to enhance community policing.
