PDP has no case at all.

That section of the electoral act was rejected at the Federal high court, so it's a nullity. Read here

PDP is a genuine loser as far as Taraba is concerned

Ikpewe:
Who would ever thought that he would became a president, although God was kind to him his friends especially Akpabio didn't give him the chance to be kind to Nigerians.

How did Akpabio prevent him from doing right by Nigerians? The choices he made were his and his alone.

PDP is a genuine loser as far as Taraba is concerned

TonyeBarcanista:
I'm not wrong! PDP raised in in their petition against Orthom
www.leadership.ng/news/462233/tribunal-dismisses-pdps-petition-upholds-ortoms-election. But the tribunal acting on a script dismissed it on technical ground.

You said that the emergence of Ishiaku Darius as the candidate of PDP wasn't part of APC's prayers. I showed you proof that it was, indeed, part of APC's prayers, and you are still arguing? Stop arguing even when it doesn't make sense.

Here in Abuja, it's 87 naira at all filling stations

TonyeBarcanista:
Neither did APC went to court on such ground in Taraba state. It was INEC that brought it up before the tribunal in their testimony.
There is no way APC can legitimately escape this

You are wrong. Read

The APC and its candidate, Alhassan, had gone before the tribunal to challenge the victory of Ishaku of the PDP at the polls.

The petitioners prayed the tribunal to void the governorship poll for corrupt practices and substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended.

They also urged the tribunal to disqualify the 1st respondent, Ishaku, and hold that all votes credited to him during the election were “wasted and thrown away votes”.

The petitioners through their lead counsel, Mr. Abiodun Owonikoko, SAN, told the tribunal: “Contrary to the provisions of Section 85 of the Electoral Act, which requires the service of at least 21 days to INEC before the holding of congress for the conduct of primary election, the 2nd respondent (PDP) only delivered their notice to INEC on December 11, 2014, at exactly 6:04pm and held the purported primaries on the same day. This was apparently after they have conducted the said primary.

“That in defiance of the requirement of Section 87 of the Electoral Act, the 2nd respondent held the purported primary at Abuja as against Jalingo, Taraba State capital.

“That relying on their earlier notice to INEC for the holding of the primary at the Taraba State capital, INEC (3rd respondent) sent their monitoring team to observe the primary election on December 8, 2014, but the congress did not hold without any explanation from the party.

“That in flagrant disregard to the demand of the Electoral Act 2010, the 1st and 2nd respondents held their primary in Abuja without approval from INEC.

“That by reason of paragraphs i, ii, iii, and iv above, the 1st respondent was not duly sponsored by his political party as required under section 177(c) of the 1999 constitution nor duly sponsored, the 1st respondent is/was not qualified to have contested the gubernatorial election that held in Taraba State on April 11 and 25, 2015”.

lalasticlala, take this to front-page, so as to clear the air on the matter of APC prayers before the tribunal

OP, nice one. Just put the source there to make it sweeter

Danrizzle:
There were no primaries in APC in Imo state. In short APC held primaries for presidential election only.

Unanimous Endorsement of candidate is allowed as long as due process is followed and inec is properly informed. After all, even GEJ was endorsed.

You should read the submission of inec as it concerns the case of PDP and Darius Ishiaku, maybe that will give you a clearer picture of what happened at the tribunal

PDP is a genuine loser on this one

zicoraads:
And he stylishly side stepped the question. Are you from Taraba state? Or, where in Taraba do you stay?

Aisha can only win in her zone, Taraba-north. And that zone alone can never make her the governor. That zone is dominated by Muslims. The rest of the state by Christians. Stop spewing gibberish about things you know nothing about. You cannot stay where ever you are and claim to know more about a state you have probably never been to nor hail from.

If the tribunal had ordered a rerun, Darius would have taken her to the cleaners a million times.

The emboldened, maybe so. But we'll never know now, because there won't be a rerun.

PDP shot itself in the foot on this one.

Fit2Rule:
This is trash! Section 140(2) of the electoral act 2010 contains the judgment. See picture below. Isiaku should just head to the supreme Court and disgrace this APC tribunal. #changeindeed

PDP has lost out on this one, and there is nothing any court can do about it

macpetrus:
As long as the process which produced the #Taraba PDP candidate was acceptable and binding on PDP, then it was valid.

I see what is happening here. You guys are bringing emotion into this thing. The judgement is a no-brainer, plain and simple. Take your time to read the judgement and understand it, and stop showing your ignorance here.

hinohsend:
Calm down,Peterside was adopted as a co nsensus,which is allowed by the law.Jonathan was also a concensus candidate.

Some people aren't ready to see reason, It doesn't matter how much you try to explain it to them.

Eluwilussit:
And what do u think bubu did when he swore an affidavit that the military had his certificate? He is the C-in-C now, let him request for it and show us. That's called honesty and integrity.

The onus is on the accuser to prove a case. If PDP had a good case against Buhari, don't you think they would have pursued it to a logical end? There was never a missing certificate. The military was simply politicized by the PDP.

Kundagarten:

[size=15pt]We don't do shariareporters in PDP.[/size]

Damn! You wailers are truly pained.

nduchucks:
@OP, judges are not legislators and judicial activism and/or rascality should be condemned. Think about it.

Your comment is vague, to say the least. Can you elaborate on how you mean?

It doesn't matter how many times you post this, the wailers will keep wailing. They are simply pained, and it's understandable. After all, no one likes being on the losing end.

IzonOwei:
was okowas case against the apc?...

Yes, it was.

mrrock:
Let this court and INEC realize that Buhari himself was not qualified for contesting in the election, but PDP let is pass.

If PDP want, they'll paralyze this government by suing for Buhari's dethronement.

Tell PDP not to let it pass. They can still challenge his mandate at the court.

You guys are just pained, and can't even help showing it.

Rexnegro:
it's a diff case bro...tribunal can be anywhere in d world to give judgement, haven't u heard of mobile court? ...but party primary can't leave it's state....the constitution says so...

Don't bother trying to explain to him. He'll always have contrary opinion, even when it doesn't make sense, as is this case.

mykel231:
APC lead government is on the verge of making Nigeria a one party system with their so called tribunal,while our youths are busy shouting change,forgetting that a party without opposition is as bad as military regime.I really pity Nigeria.

I don't support a one party state myself. But the law is the law. You don't expect the law to be jettisoned because there shouldn't be a one party state.

PDP shot itself in the foot here. It's no one else's fault.

guiddoti:
not to you, sorry for wrong quote. it was directed to these pdp and fayose

I thought as much

guiddoti:
why dont your party accept court rule

What court ruling are you talking about?

Ikiriye:
Was buhari election not rigged.learn to speak the truth so you will be free

Why don't you advice your party to go and prove it at the court?

kellystech:
There was no apc primaries in rivers state too

Read the difference and educate yourself

TARABA STATE

The three-member tribunal held that Mr. Ishaku was not validly nominated as candidate of the PDP and therefore did not qualify, from start, to contest the governorship election.
Specifically, the tribunal held that the governorship primaries purportedly conducted by the PDP in the state was done in violation of section 78 (b) (1)(2) of the Electoral Act which guides parties nomination to the position of governorship candidate.
It held that contrary to the provision of the section, PDP conducted the purported primaries at its national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja with no clear delegation from the local government areas in the state.
The tribunal sustained the testimonies of the head of election monitoring of Independent National Electoral Commission that the commission was not aware of any primaries conducted by the party in line with the provision of the electoral act which produced Ishaku as the party’s flagbearer".

RIVERS STATE


The spokesperson of the party in the state, Chukwuemeka Eze, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES.
“Yes Hon. Dakuku Peterside was unanimously endorsed in a peaceful atmosphere. It was done in a family affair and there was no bickering at all,” Mr. Eze said.
He also said by the decision of the caucus, the forthcoming party primary in Rivers State is expected to merely confirm the selection of Mr. Peterside as a formality.
Also, the Rivers APC Chairman, Davies Ikanya, who addressed the press after the meeting at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt, said the decision of the caucus is not final as primary election will still have to be held to ratify the decision.
“There must be primary elections for all positions in the APC. So, we will not jump the gun,” he said.

FYI information, Jonathan was also adopted by the Pdp before the convention.
