It's been a while. How are you doing?

Afamed:
Before you sound stupid next time , read Electoral Act, 2022 Section 51 (2)
so that you dont promote your ignorance on social media

You can consult your lawyer, if you have one
And you were so confident telling me rubbish in your post above

Afamed:
Those who say, there should be rerun are just clever by half,

May be they have not updated themselves with new electoral law.

The new electoral law is clear enough in English language


Electoral Act, 2022 Section 51 (2)


under the Electoral Act, 2022 Section 51 (2) says over-voting occurs “where the number of votes cast at an election in any polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters in that polling unit, the presiding officer shall cancel the result of the election in that polling unit.”

fergie001:
I just got it Incase but barring unforeseen circumstances, I still might not vote.

Something came up.

senatordave1:
Why did pdp and inec closed their cases after one witness? Apc case is predicated on documentary evidences

senatordave1:
1) inec has failed to rubbish the claim of apc over the bvas report.
2) waec was never called by pdp to verify the results and pdp never rebutted any proof.documentary proofs shows that it was forged.
3) apc did not call any statistician,it was pdp that called and he admitted overvoting

ejimatic:
. I agree with you! I am interested in the BVAS on trial. If BVAS generates two different results for petitioner and defendant what will happen? If BVAS is not syncronised before election can we accept result generated from it? The outcome of this case to the SC level will define our 2023 election.

seunmsg:
All we want is for Justice to be done in Osun state. A party that compromised BVAS should not be allowed to enjoy the reward of such criminal misadventure.

senatordave1:
The apc has discharged the burden of proof while pdp has not rebutted it

No BVAS again?...... which one collation centre again?.....they want to perform magic again......This election is a battle between Good and evil....... between those who wants to feed on the soul of Nigeria and those who want a better Nigeria......chose your side and vote wisely

southsouthking:
Why is Mike Igini not made the Chairperson?
Why do i feel President Buhari wants a free and fair Election?
He knows this could be his only best legacy he's going to leave behind.
Let's see how it pawns out.

The security at INEC offices should be extremely tight. President Buhari should give orders!

No way Results should be tampered!.

Modified: Some people won't like this news o.

Atiku Abubakar is so desperate to be President. PDP posters were seen today in Bauchi circulating with Peter Obi's picture attached to it with that of the PDP CANDIDATE. This is evil and condemnable !!! @inecnigeria
Atiku knows he's unsellable without Obi pic.twitter.com/ReIB2VmBoA

PrinceOfLagos:
I ask again, what concerns Tinubu with PDP G-5 governors?

See below the picture of Peter Obi rice that Atiku is using to campaign

Obi na dia father

PrinceOfLagos:
Pure lies

Here is the picture

Peter Obi is the annointed man here that everyone wanna tap from his blessings

I don't know the details for now though.

senatordave1:
Rubbish,supreme court will still sack him....atiku won't see 25% in zamfara

LegalWolf:
I have previously asked this question before and I think the G5 will adversely affect PDP chances a lot. Let us break it down in a state-by-state analysis.

Rivers

This is one of the most powerful strongholds of PDP. Given what we see on ground, Wike commands a large followership because it appears he has done well. Now add the fact that he has access to resources (13% derivative + normal revenue - IGR + repaid moneys owed by FG = massive war chest). There is NO WAY on earth any of the people working for Atiku in Rivers State can match that.

Verdict: Atiku chances are gone in Rivers

Oyo

Oyo story is similar to Rivers but slightly different. Makinde has done well and also commands large followership. However, he does not have the war chest of a Wike and there are still gladiators in Oyo politics that can pull funds together to salvage Atiku.

Verdict: Atiku votes will be slightly affected (Not that he can win Oyo state on a norms. To my knowledge, he has never won the state)

Benue

This is where it gets interesting. Unlike the previous two, Ortom is a disaster. Coupled with the fact that Benue is a BROKE state. Now add the fact that powerful men in the State are in support of Atiku. I would not be surprise if Atiku wins the state.

However, I am not unaware of the sentiments on ground. The media has so much tarnished the Fulani image and it is possible sentiments are whipped to campaign against Atiku. Benue promises to be interesting to watch.

Verdict: Indifferent

Abia and Enugu

I will do a joint analysis due to the similarities of both States. The chances of Atiku in these states are slim not necessarily because of G5, but Peter Obi. However, as the question relates to G5, I think the governors not working for Atiku will dim the very slight chances he has in those states. He cannot and would not win those states unfortunately....

2023 will be interesting as it will demystify so many people and unravel many things. Let us see how it will go

If to say I know, I no for add your name wallahi

fergie001:
That's his business, he wouldn't control the PDP again. He over-played himself, outspent everyone, caused divisions in almost all chapters, threw away his brother as PDP National Chair and now wants to cry more than the bereaved.

I don't even want a reconciliation between them tbh. He is likely to win the battle that is Atiku losing the election but will lose the war (PDP control). I want it to go on, maybe it might even help my humble State sef.

On Bwacha: With 2 Appeal Court Divisions ruling same, the SC will need something magical to upturn it.

Johnnyessence:
my humble indefatigable politician and listening gentle man , fergie001, Merry Christmas to you dude . Happy new year in advance. Compliments of the season to you and your family over there.

Some other omissions, make una no vex ooooo

fergie001:
The Supreme Court has ruled severally that Ward delegates elections, primaries and nomination of Candidates for elections are exclusive responsibilities of the NWC/NEC of the Political Party.

The State Working Committee (SWC) has absolutely no business with any.
See Supreme Court decisions in Ufomba v INEC, Emenike v PDP, APC & Or V Kabiru Gaya & 179 Ors.

Background of the Case:
1. Election was conducted into the SWC of the Party in October 2021.

2. Silas Onu contested and lost the Ebonyi State PDP Chairmanship seat against Tochukwu Okorie.

3. Onu approached the FHC that Okorie purchased his form after the closing date.

4. In April, the FHC ruled that Onu was Chairman and disqualified Okorie.

5. PDP NWC obeyed the Court order and recognised Onu whilst Okorie appealed the decision.

6. Ward delegates were concluded and they voted in the Presidential Primaries.

7. PDP set May 28 & 29 for National Assembly & Governorship Primaries.

8. On May 23, Appeal Court ruled on status quo ante bellum i.e. restating Okorie as Ebonyi PDP Chairman on the interim.

9. Okorie insisted that there will be another Ward Delegates election. Again, PDP informed INEC of the reinstatement of Okorie on May 31.

10. On the 28th, National Assembly Primaries held and a Governorship Primaries held on the 29th whilst Primary was ongoing with INEC officials and results about to be announced, PDP called INEC to stop the Primaries.

11. Results were released and PDP decided to conduct another Primary on 4th & 5th.

12. The winners approached the Court to affirm their election, without members of the other faction as Parties to the suit. When they applied for joinder, the Judge refused.

13. The new Primaries of June 4 & 5 held, those who won in May boycotted the Primaries since the case was still in Court.

14. On June 7, Court affirmed the Primaries of May.

15. Ogba and the others who held their Primaries in June approached the Appeal Court with a Notice of Appeal.

16. The Appeal Court set aside the judgement of the FHC and ordered a retrial.

17. After the retrial with Ogba & co, the FHC still insisted on its initial judgement, upholding the May primaries and nullifying that of June.

18. Ogba appeals the judgement, and the Appeal Court ruled in July that it is the Party who determines the Candidate to fly its flag.

19. PDP submits to INEC the names of those who participated in the June Primaries.

20. Those who won the May primaries approach the Supreme Court.

21. Supreme Court rules in their favour. The Supreme Court insisted that when you want to appeal a case in which you were not a Party at the lower Court, you must first obtain the leave of Court to Appeal i.e. to be joined in the suit.

Failure to obtain leave of Court before appealing as a non-party having an interest in the matter renders the appeal incompetent. That means anything that happened after 15 above was inconsequential.

22. in August, the Appeal Court restored Okorie as substantive Chairman of Ebonyi PDP.

23. This is today's ruling:
The judgment followed a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1319/2021, filed by Mr. Okoroafor Tochukwu Okorie against the PDP and INEC.
Justice Nyako agreed with counsel to the plaintiff, Okoro Mkemakolam that the cancelled PDP primary in Ebonyi state was conducted in flagrant disobedience of the order of the Court of Appeal, staying the execution of the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, declaring Joseph Onu as the Ebonyi State Chairman of the party.

Okorie is trying to invite the Courts into the leadership contest of the Party and the Court should not have granted their wish.

-SWC do not conduct elections or Primaries.

-The suit is between Tochukwu Okorie v PDP & INEC. Okorie is not an Aspirant and hence has no locus to challenge Primaries of the Party.

- He also did not file the suit within 14 days after the cause of action.

garfield1:
My brother,from the countenance and body language ofboth teams,it is obvious what inec brought indicts adeleke.dont forget inec twice came to the court and apc rejected them

garfield1:
It is just jargons except more than one device is used in which case all data will simply add up.ok why are they not synchronizing results but just accredited votes?
All apc is saying is that cancelled all units with overvoting and declare the available winner which is apc

garfield1:
Fergie,it seems adeleke has been cornered.I dont know but it seems the fake certificate he tendered in 2018 was what inec brought and apc now brought the originals.
Now the constitution clearly said a candidate will be disq if he has ever submitted a forged certificate to inec via white lion case.this is backed by extant inec regulations and affidavits.
Inec defence won't take much time.highest one week.it is now left for pdp and adeleke defence to start work.since deadline is 29 Jan,defence has till Jan 10.

fergie001:
To add, APC is premising mainly on this certificate issue.

They brought only two out of 300 witnesses for the over-voting allegations. When INEC opens their defence, we will know more.

This Certificate saga is where APC & Oyetola intends to do the maximum damage.

Always welcome.
