SLOVFO: No need for that! Peter Obi had no competition in the South East hence no need to rig the elections there. If anything, the official results are less than the actual he received.
NewsGuy22: There is No President Elect, INEC's Decision Won't Stand - Pa Adebanjo
Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has claimed that there is no President-elect in Nigeria, insisting that the decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu winner of the 2023 presidential election, will not stand.
There is nowhere in the constitution where it is mandatory. Aggrieved parties will be surprised when their cases are strucked out in court for lack of merit! INEC reserves the right to use any means for the declaration of result.
civboy: From the get-go, it was obvious that he wouldn't win. He wasn't approved by the wide North, and he doesn't have enough "common" presence; like, if you are on social media, then sure you will know about him, but if you exit the biggest cities and tour villages, there he isn't as well known as the political dinosaurs. Sure, it is painful, everyone is sad, but no need to entertain denial; it will just worsen the mess. It is time to cry a good amount and let go.
You are a sincere person. North "killed" Obi abd will "kill " him again and again
Fahdiga: More reason why we should vote overwhelmingly for Rhodes Vivour so as to be free from the bondage of agberos. The real Lagosians shouldn't miss this golden opportunity to chase away invaders from Iragbiji and take back their ancestral land. How can an unknown man from another land pocket Lagos just like that? Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is our next governor come Saturday. The real indigenes of Lagos has spoken loud and clear.
. You want to come from the East and install governor in Lagos. Can a Yoruba in Anambra install a governor in the state? Let us wait and see!
A case The Supreme Court will eventually throw away into dustbin and fine them for wasting the Court time
Don't mind them ! Are the states parties to the election or are they on the ballot papers? It is disgraceful that SANl like Ozuekome and others cannot guide them well because of money they will collect from them.
PeterObi4LP: Justice is coming. Nigerians stolen mandate will be restored. Nigerians don't want tinubu no be by force. INEC chairman will not die well and those involve in this shameless rigging.
. Stopping saying Nigerains don't want Tinubu.It is too sweeping a statement.I nstead say All the IGBOS don't want Tinubu..In the SW and the North Tinubu our son is loved always .
AdaojoTheUrchin: Let him be 100 steps ahead. Nature has already demystified him with urine bag tied to his waist.
The court proceedings will demystify him and at the least help us reveal his criminal judges and structure in the Judiciary. We need to at least identify them and take down the structures.
jyz200: Good This is the proper way to do things , not ranting or crying on a live tV
This is my first time of commenting after the election I have been observing both scenarios Congrats to all Bat supporter , all the banter , success at last
Yorubas need to be more conservative in Nigeria politics except we go back to regionalism Observing last Saturday vote , southwest is the only region that vote liberal, what really help tinubu is the ability to network and probably structure
Congrats Nigerians Congrats Jagaban Congrats apc May your tenure Favour every Nigerians
. Don't mind them! We shall see how mandate given to YORUBAS will now be given to Ibos.Some people know nothing about federal elections.
Asgard13: Na this Supreme Court wan give PDP Justice ?
Abi Lp?
Nigerians must wake to reality .. and take by their country
. Just imagine! Yoruba : BAT Igbo. :Peter Obi. Hausa :. Atiku The PEPS and SC will now take Yoruba mandate and give it to Ibo or Hausa ...Some people are daydreaming. The defence of the INEC will be subject to abductive reasoning ( conclusion based on probability). and the case will be struck out.See Aregbesola and Oyilola 2011 : Judgement given by Clara Ogunjimi ..Rtd SCJ
. Are states stakeholders in this election or parties and candidates? Are the states on the ballot papers? Another exercise on futility. It will be struck our for lacking merit and locus standing to institute the case.
Beremx: After all the abuse on Tinubu calling him a bed wetter, Aregbesola really needs to retain his ministerial post by congratulating him. We know the game.
🤣🤣😂
His days are numbered! He will be an ordinary citizen soon and go into extinction politically. I love how Tinubu handles his madness..
What Political Parties need to focus on is BVAS for the Tribunal....the numbers accredited Vs. the numbers that voted
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria[/quote]. I said it that only BVAS can be used to check overvoting.That is all! All other uses are subject to situation and condition as at that of the election..They will not listen untill they knock their heads on the wall again at the PEPT and SC
arewaboy01: we prefer power shift to the south west or south south…igbo Never
. IGBOS born in 90s and 2000 and above will never understand but those born n 50s' know the reasons . The cries of Obi will continue untill they embrace the North.
They did not throw OBi's votes away in Lagos but they were thrown away in Rivers. . You will realize that this will not establish overvoting in Rivers. Only BVAS can be used to do so.INEC will soon release a report on this development
Omo Hausa o le gbe ijoba fun omo Igbo Tani ko dibo fun.lae! No Hausa man will vote an Ibo man as the president or handover to him as the president.I said it before election but did they listen? Eyes are clear now.
Tears ,emotions and sentiment are meaningless in the court of law. PMB shed tears in 2014 .Yet PEPT and SC struck out his petitions. I see OBi chasing shadow in court. I want to ask will he include Lagos and Osun in his petition? The truth is he failed in the North and he will fail again at the PEPT and SC.
If section 229 says FCT is a state that means it can be view as Lagos and 30 states with 25 percent of BAT make him qualify to be declared as the president.
BluntCrazeMan: WHAT EXACTLY DID THE ELECTORAL ACT SAY ABOUT THE ELECTION RESULTS.??
***(This piece might be very long, but then, if you really need more insight about the electronic transmission wahalla, and what the Electoral Act really says about it, then you have to try and read through to the end..)
I am going to be dropping the quotes, with little comments after them.
For those that would argue that the INEC Guidelines are not recognised by the Electoral Act.., the Section-148 had provided answers to that argument.
Even though the INEC Guidelines should not override the Electoral Act,, but then, wherever the Electoral Act give powers to the “Commission”, then the words that are contained inside the “INEC Guidelines” and “Manuals” would become the Authentic Law with respect to those sections where the Electoral Act gave powers to the Commission..
Refer back to Section-148.. The “INEC Guidelines” fully prescribed the manner for the “Transmission” of the results. Inside the INEC Guidelines, the INEC made it very clear that they developed a system known as the “Collation Support and Result Verification System” (CSRVS), in order facilitate the “TRANSMISSION” of Results and Accreditation Data.
It should be made very clear at this point; that the Online Results-Viewing Portal (IREV) is just the platform for the public to view the supposed Polling-Units Results that were uploaded to the online viewing portal,,AND NOT THE REQUIRED PLATFORM WHICH THE INEC DEDICATED FOR THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND COLLATION AND VERIFICATION OF RESULTS, AS POINTED OUT INSIDE THE ELECTORAL ACT.
The platform for the E-transmission and E-collation as required by the Electoral Act is the CSRVS, and not really the IREV.
The Commission, as referred to in this Act, is the INEC.
Refer back to Section-148.. The INEC fully prescribed the manner for the “Transfer” of the results (including the “transfer” of the total number of accredited voters) inside the INEC Guidelines.
Take note of the word “Deliver” in the Section-62(1); which is totally different from the word “Transfer” which was used in Section-60(5)..
***(This might be the ONLY part of the Electoral Act which the INEC-Chairman read, and believed that the Electoral Act provided for ONLY the Manual Delivery of the Results)..
Also note that the Electoral Act also didn't expressly dictate the exact methods of collation to be deployed. But then, no matter the method of Collation used,, Section-64 should be checks-and-balances tool which must be applied. And there is a strong penalty for violating Section-64.
NOW, LET US TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT SECTION-64..
A result -- According to Section-64(9) -- is regarded as “False Result” if it didn't follow the procedures specified in Section-64(6)-(a-to-d).. -- which is, Electronic Transmission and Collation, and Verification.
Going by Section-65(1): It simply means that the returning officer can upturn the decisions of the Presiding Officer, or those of the collation officers if -- within the review period -- there were errors which the returning officer had corrected.
I PURPOSELY DID NOT DROP ANY QUOTES FROM THE “INEC GUIDELINES”.. SO THAT WE WON'T CONFUSE OURSELVES..
ALL THE QUOTES WHICH I HAVE DROPPED HERE ARE ALL QUOTED ENTIRELY FROM THE ELECTORAL ACT OF 2022.
. Any decision taken by the INEC is final and can also be challenged at the court if Law (( See 148 ). " Transmission" has the meaning of "send". to another person and this is applicable when situations allow that. In case of emergency ,INEC reserves the right to send the results manually.This development did not any way affect the results of the elections. All the results are being loaded on the INEC website now which agrees with the manual results..
Where did you win ? NC NE NW or entire SE? You only won SE. If the election is repeated 30 times,the North and SW will not vote for you ,you will even lose Osun now!
[quote author=AcuraZDX post=121403289]When it was first leaked that INEC was planning to dump the IREV that's in the electoral act 2022, this was what the fraud Commission said to NIGERIANs.
https://twitter.com/inecnigeria/status/1591154788460163072?t=MAKzkqKKbkshjb8VHLMCNg&s=19[/quote]. This is a written statement of intention but is not an agreement between INEC and the political parties. INEC reserves the right to use any alternative aimed at speeding it's work in case of any emergency. Whoever builds his case on this letter is just wasting his time for it holds no water in law.
. Yes good . We shall all see how the sittings and the judgement will follow the preceding rulings on the matter like Awlowo and Shagari 1983. OBJ and Falae 1999 Buhari and OBJ 2004 Rubadu and Yarfua 2009. Buhari and Goodluck 2013 Atiku and Buhari 2015 Atiku and Buhari 2019
okuta007: when you mentioned Oral - it shows you don’t know the law - IF spoken words cary no weight in your own understanding of the law - then what is slander ? is a person liable for slander? IF YES, then why would a spoken promise on TV not carry weight in court ?
. You are mixing things up and I may not reply you again until the proposed petitions are resolved in PEPT and SC.. If yiu claim you have an agreement, is it written ? Are wedding and contract agreement oral or written? If you purchase a piece of land is it an oral agreement you will seek for in the transaction? I said INEC did have any written agreement with any party yiu are talking about SLANDER! Let fold our hands and see what will happen at the courts if parties will present any written agreement on the matter..
tmThank yiu sir! Many don't know just as you cannot win election online you cannot win electoral cases by baseless and unfounded online argument. We need to have the views of PEPT and SC on the matter.
By May 29 nothing like Fulani attack in Nigeria.Anyone arrested must be prosecuted .Another Sherrif is in town now..Anybody who knows how dangerous Fulanis are would not vote Atiku after Buhari !
okuta007: you have not answered my social contract question - what was the claim made on television by INEC's chairman on BVAS and IREV?
Coca Cola tells you through "advertisement" to drink coke for nourishment and you opened one bottle of coke and you drank it "believing" to nourish your body, instead it was laced with poison. While it may be possible that some employee failed to do their job well, and the law establishing Coca Cola never promised you will not be poisoned IF you drank Coca Cola, Is Coca Cola "liable" by law for poisoning you or not?
. TV claims hold no water neither did INEC sign any documents with anybody on it. INEC reserves the right to use any alternative in case of emergency. I am not discussing oral statement but the legal implications of the election from the legal perspectives.
GudPpleG8Nation: With the way APC rigged this election,by making sure the numbers accredited and the vote casted tally which would have be a major contender if it doesn't in the tribunal. What the APC Government did was to substrate Labour Party and/or PDP votes and add it to APC votes at polling unit level and/or at zonal/LG collations Center. With these abnormalities, how can Labour Party or PDP proves their case beyond doubt in court?
Their case will be one of the legal comedies of our time!
