President Buhari won the election fare and square. PDP server argument was baseless and ignorant.

PDP congratulating President Buhari tomorrow after ridiculing the Court today, seems an afterthought and a poor sense of reasoning.

netpro:
If there is an atom of dignity and decency in them, the sore losers ought to tender an unreserved congratulations to the Winner.

There seems to be nothing Democratic left in the PDP.

netpro:
PDP have nothing to campaign with in both States. All they do is name-calling, emotions and cheap blackmail.

With PDP all we hear is: Are the people happy? Bayelsa is pdp. It is Buhari party.

When APC come out victorious, they will start circulating their fake server results online and wail for another 4 years.

Came across this Programme, now things are getting out of hand by the day.

Many nigerians mostly pdp apologists are still confused about the pept judgment or ruling.some are saying that only an affidavit is needed to show that one is qualified and that one can just swear affidavit and lay claim to any qualification.they even went further to allege that the judges said that no qualification or certificate is needed to even contest for an elective post or to apply for a job.
This goes to show that most nigerians maybe superficially educated but do not know much about our electoral laws,laws in general or even political events.they believe in perception rather than fact.the perception is that buhari doesn't have waec and is therefors not qualified.this is an erroneous belief.they also believe that the judges were induced not minding the quality of the judgment.


To set the record straight,the tribunal simply followed constitutional provisions in arriving at their ruling.the constitution gave three qualifications one can have which are education up to ssce level or its equivalent and it went ahead to give us a clue about what the equivalent are.the judges rightfully said that being educated in any military school is an equivalent of scce and buhari is qualified.it also said primary school certificate in combination with being literate or serving in any public capacity for up to 5 years or overseas training or seminars.on this ground,buhari is qualified.it also said any other qualification accrptable to inec.inec and the judges said buhari being a retired general,a former head of state and even attending staff college jaji form part of this.


Looking at the case of the affidavit,the judges said that atiku didnt prove that buhari lied.moreover the affidavit was sworn in 2014 and the timeline has elapsed plus the army were never called to testify in court and they never said that buhari never submitted his documents to them.

Some people even said that the judges took side with apc and spoke like buhari lawyers and even went to look for evudences for buhari.this shows that nigerians do not follow election tribunals nor read past judgments.legal procedures demands that once a judge or judges take a position,they must adduce enough reasons and quote several authorities and precedents to justify it.in many cases when the supreme court gave their rulings,they usually fix another date to provide their reasons since giving reasons is not a tea party.

Personally,the ruling is 95% correct and will easily be upheld.the only issues i have with it are minor and are not fatal.i feel that the judges shouldn't say that aged oeople cannot lie,this is erroneous and false.i also feel that the judges could have cancelled a few units which had fictitious ruling instead of saying that the electoral act prohibits them from doing that afterall a high court judge in 2014 struck out that particular subsection and it was never contested.but since the pept is a superior court,there in order here.kudos to the judiciary.

Is that not what you should advised atiku to do ?

Fortunately,the law supports akpabio cade

“I was told that my result was the one they were waiting before going to Abuja, I entered and saw Mike Igini on the High Table, announced my result and left. He never spoke or gave me instruction.” Under examination, the Returning Officer maintained that elections in Essien Udim were marred by over-voting, absence of units’ results, thuggery and electoral violence

senatordave1:
Essien udim in 2015 gave gej 67000 and akpabio 70 000.mind you,it has over 80,000 voters.as far as those votes were manually accredited,then it stands.akpabio won at polling units but was robbed at collation points which is illegal,against the electoral act.the judges erred.

Atiku doing well so far

Rochasstatue:
You are just a cheap clown and habitual literary twerker.
I only engaged you to rouse you from your delusion and blatant hubris..
Of course you will elect not to be redeemed from your feeling of megalomania and puerile intellectualism.
The court is not a philanthropic organisation that awards remedy out of pity.
It takes into view the totality of both the prayers of the petitioner, the quality of evidence and the viscosity of the counter challenge by the respondent.
That is why justice is blind, carries a sword and a scale to weigh the gamut of facts at it's disposal.
Atiku's case will go down in legal history as the most farcical and fraudulent display of court processes ever ventured by trained Attorneys.
While you remain in the sewers covered with the debris from your vaunted hubris, I wish you eternal shame in your journey to stupidity.
It is either you are foolish, mischievous or impaired

ejimatic:
. If this raises an issue and there is no supportive evidence the law requires the use of affidavit as aback up...case closed...Atiku himself knows Buhari certificate is just a distraction for it cannot make him win

garfield1:
You indirectly admit defeat.originally,you claimed that buhari has no waec,is not qualified.now that he is qualified,you are now clutching onto irrelevant and needless straws.
Someone lost his originals and said photocopies are with the army.in 2015,the army claimed that they cant find his cert,that doesn't mean that he lied.if they said that at no time did they take or accept his cert,it would have implicated him.moreover,he has presented proof of his qualifications therefore the oath is irrelevant

tuniski:
The irony of it all, is that the buhari/apc defense started by even challenging Dr Livy's license to practise. Saying he can't sign with an alias while his name is livinus! These defenders of absurdities always should fear God and love nation.

ejimatic:
. Spelling is important in documents. it can make a person two in identity.However there are names that have different orthographies but they still refer to same person. Aba Kiyeri said before tribunal that Mohammed and Mohammodu refer to same person...Taiwo and Taiye mean same in Yoruba lang too....In my opinion it holds no matter.

Afamed:
Stop wasting your time to educate that lad. His case is irredeemable.The way he was quoting law during Onnonghe saga, you will think he had a degree in law
