Engineerboat, I complained about the media attacks and bias against the governor and you dismissed it. Can you now see the amount of rubbish going to FP against the governor? Cc fergie001

Sorry to ask, was this video doctored

This hype get as he be now,

Actually this video suppose not get out now

APCHaram:
Well, the Supreme Court Ruling of yesterday has affirmed that the 27 law makers remain valid members of the Rivers state House of Assembly.

If there be any case ongoing, this ruling should put an end to such frivolity.

This is very false

APCHaram:
There's no conflicting judgement.

Theres only conflicting interpretation coming from Fubara's camp

The Supreme court ruling was consistent with that of the High Court that ruled on behalf of the Plaintiff's .

In the course of that trial, Fubara's defense hinged on urging the court to dismiss the suit by claiming the plaintiffs were no longer members of the House of Assembly to which the Judge disagreed and asked Fubara to present evidence that the Legislators had lost their seats automatically owing to defecting to another party. Fubara could not provide proof in court and the judge then went on to entertain the suit by the lawmakers as being more than interested parties. The judge then ruled in favour of the 27 man faction.

The final ruling gave birth to 2 outcomes :.

1. Fubara illegality appropriated and spent Rivers state funds without legislative approval and oversight.

2. That the Plaintiffs remain valid members of the House .

Supreme Court is yet to rule on Any Rivers case.

All cases where consolidated with ruling for later dates.

What happened yesterday was withdrawal of Appeal by fubara

fergie001:
Our Senate has never impeached a president, it's a Governor especially when litigation is ongoing?

That's ridiculous. Ask yourself why Amaewhule and co haven't commenced impeachment proceedings, at least just starting.

I have said this before that the person who advised these guys to defect should be ostracised from that group. Fubara & co have no business on who wins or loses but to drag this case until the next cycle of election.

There is another case before the FHC in Port Harcourt which will most likely rule against the "27", the case now re-commences again and before you know it, its 2027.

Governance stops in August 2025, the rest is Primaries and election...

This is a valid point and hence fubara decided to withdraw that case of budget because they seem trying to get a lifeline from their.

Again that defection Affidavit is a Serious negative against them.

The various case will drag to 2027. As it stands APC will not pick them as Candidates Neither do they have chance in PDP nor APP

blacknp:
Has a Court declared that what they swore to in the affidavit is a lie?

They have a reason for fighting their own Pdp Governor, that alone is enough for defection, they cannot work in the same party with him.

No be Pdp we saw on video last month fighting themselves who The Secretary of The party is?

Can you list 2 pdp NEC, BOT Official among those fighting if not the Thugs your APc mole brought

casualobserver:
There are 2 types of candidates
1) people who are familiar to the people e.g Monday
2) people who are installed and hence beholden to godfathers but have no political capital of their own.

Rarely do you see a sound candidate who is in touch with the people to be able to contest and win in his own right.

If good people stay away from politics but more importantly remain in the cities distant from the grassroots. These are the only people that can emerge!

The environment is too toxic for such to emerge.

The people have also been impoverished to believe that 500naira salt and rice during campaign is all that is needed coupled with the state machineries deployed to muscle out the opposition during elections

casualobserver:
Yesterday or the day before I posted that BVAS and EC8 are the only proof of rigging because to me that signaled that PDP have a genuine case and it is something I have said time and time again that the only prooof and evidence of rigging you need or that matters in court are BVAS and EC8. Immediately someone I assume is sympathetic to PDP saw my post as favourable. I made a dispassionate comment like I said I have no skin in the game and don’t care who is governor.

Immediately after someone who might be sympathetic to APC posted that although they presented BVAS ‘ in court they made no reference to them in their case. In which case I pointed out that I hope this is not another Obi/Atiku deception where the goal was to fool their supporters into thinking they had a case. Immediately the same PDP guys came after me.

Let me stress once again that I have no skin in this game. Let me also stress once again that the only way to prove rigging is the BVAS for over voting and EC8 for altered results. You say they presented and reference these in court, the other guy says they presented but made no reference to them in court (Obi/Atiku style).

I dont know which is which and I really do not care. I really don’t think any of them is going to take Edo to the promised land. I believe Ighodalo is an out of touch elitist Uncle Tom in the Noike of Obaseki who has little to show and the other guy is a village eediot style buffooon. I don’t like anything PDP but I also believe Monday is likely to be worse than Adeleke in Osun. I never thought we could have a worse governor till APC put forward Monday! So as a neutral observer, I don’t care which of them become governor. I am just commenting on the court process.

My post here was simply procedural so to speak to say that silence and failure to present a witness does not mean guilt. It depends on what what put forward by the plaintiff. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff. If they have done as said and the numbers add up then no judge can find otherwise. However if they simply went to court for show and did not prove rigging or if the rigged numbers were not enough to overturn the result (as in Imo) then the defendants can keep quiet.

The point is failure to present a witness does not mean it is a slam dunk for PDP.

Thanks for your perspective anyhow.

As it should be also.

But when would it come that this Political Parties would present the right Candidates not all this Anywhere belle face Candidates

casualobserver:
Look. I don’t know what transpired in court and I don’t need to know. Neither do I care. I am not from Edo, I am not a fan of either of the candidates. I have no skin in the game and do not care who becomes governor of Edo. My comment was in response to the assumption that because INEC or other defendants rested without producing witnesses, they have lost the case.

We have been here before. If your case is flimsy, then a defendant has nothing to defend and can rest without calling witnesses. Same happened at the PEPT.

My comment is not to suppprt either party. It is just to say a defense will call witnesses based on the strength of your case and May chose not to call any based on the weakness of your case. Note it is not the defenfldant that has to prove but the plaintiff. If the plaintiff has not proved anything in the eyes of the defense, it is the right of the defense to rest his case without calling witnesses.

It could also mean he has no case. What I am saying is don’t assume anything because a defense rests without calling any witness.
I don’t have to know the facts of the case to say what I said. This is a fact!


You seem to know more, so perhaps as you are so knowledgeable you can enlighten us on the evidence provided in court that gives you the 80% certainty you claim? I am almost certain you can’t provide the legal arguments and evidence upon which your 80% confidence is anchored

There is A difference Between Obi/Atiku PEPT and what transpire at Edo Tribunal

PDP Present their Evidences as they seem satsified by them, left to court to decide.

This is what they actually did in the Court.

1. Present areas where results where manipulated.

2. Present Agent Copies of the Various affected PU and also the CTC copies of each PU, Also the BVAS Machines Reports of each.

3. In addition since majority of the manipulations happens at the Ward and LGA collation. PDP Presents CTC of each Affected wards and LGA with Witnesses from those wards and LGA with selected PU Witnesses (Agents) to currborate their case.

In OBI/Atiku case.

1. No BVAS Report, (Just the Downloaded IREV Results Sheets)
2. No PU Agent Form EC8 nor it's CTC
3. Their cases where hinged largely on the last card which is the Chicago case, Remember INEC format the BVAS for the HOA Election back then, on the bases of which the Cases was affected by then

You now see the differences between the 2 case

Akpakomiza2:
Lol, am I interfering? I am only giving you my prediction of how the verdict will be so that when next I make a prediction, you won't doubt me.

Till then


Let's See how the Respondents responds

Akpakomiza2:
He presented them as if it's all PDP has. Oga between me and you, we know Asue has lost this. Even Fergie said so long time ago. Why can't you accept the truth

Yet you are calling for the head of the said Fergie001 why not allow the Trinbunal their work

Bergavis:
Some people obviously want the rigging of Edo State gubernatorial election to stand even when the rigging was obviously proven in our petition.

You said we can't win because we presented 19 witnesses. I wish you understood what the witnesses have done to INEC fraudulently conducted election and the implication.

Our proofs are sufficient and we equally have documents to show more proofs.

You can continue to read the misleading reports from the likes of John Mayaki and Fred Itua. The end of this shortlived administration of terror, thuggery and misappropriation is near as the people's choice Asue Ighodalo warms up for the seat of governance to drive major and satisfactory development in Edo State.

My dearest friends and colleagues in the struggle, be confident, be strong and resilient. In the face of the intimidation, JOY IS CERTAIN and has arrived.

Asue Ighodalo will be our Governor 💯

Seem you don't know who you are quoting.

He's is aware of what transpired or let me say pretend not to know just for the sake of The narrative hes pushing around.

This is the same person that said

1. why didn't pdp being BVAS they brought BVAs is said Why didn't INEC bring it themselves,

2. Same person said why didn't Asue call Ward agent, PU agent, so and so

3. Same person said why didn't they present CTC of EC8 and the original

and such rambling

You will now understand the type of cherrypicking He's looking for and once it doesn't goes as he expects it, he begin to sing another tune

Akpakomiza2:
If you remove this two units, will Asue win?

Are those the only 2 units present at the tribunal


when I say you're just cherrypicking what suite your narratives isn't this another evidence

casualobserver:
Oh so they have closed their case? Na wah! Next they will start attacking the judiciary!

If what transpired is as you say, then I am really disappointed in Ifhodalo. I thought he was a more exposed and enlightened man than all this nonsense!

The person you are quoting is a cherrypicker of what happened at The tribunal ask him to give you bit by bits of what transpired but because it doesn't go with his narratives he jumped on cherrypicking blackmailing the MOD for not making his cherrypicked topic to make FP

casualobserver:
If that is the case it is unfortunate. it means they are knowingly heating up the polity. They know the electorate (including the so called educated) dont know any better.

If that is the case then some of these lawyers need to be sanctioned even disbarred!

The person You're quoting was only cherrypicking what he likes as he did follow what happened at the court, ask him why none of his post on edo tribunal has only his monikers reposting and responding at the same time just cherrypicking

casualobserver:
Well, bringing BVAS to court in itself means nothing. If that is what they are doing then this is a rehash of Obi’s boxes of EC8 and ballot papers. It means they have no case and are playing to the gallery.

For you to prove rigging you must provide and link either the BVAS or EC8 or both to your case. Just bringing it to court means nothing. In fact bringing BVAS , ballot papers, EC8 to court without linking or referencing them to your case is evidence you know you lost. Like I said any evidence of rigging and the only way to prove it is through BVAS and EC8.

Let me explain a little

In Edo tribunal

PDP brought LGA which bring all the Ward Results in PU under affected Area, They told and confirm to the court how the votes where deducted, by presenting the various Ward result as collated,

PDP also brought Ward agent As witness for the affected PU who presented the various PU Form EC8 under as as submitted by their agents, they also presented the CTC copies of those results and the BVAs report CTC,

PDP also brought PU agent to testify as witnesses

They also Subpoena INEC ICT To come and present the Physical BVAs machine for the various BVAs CTC reports the witness used.for their witnesses.

In which again out of the BVAs machine brought by INEC the.witness identified and.said 5 where missing in which INEC brought the 5 today with which PDP close their case

The ball is now on INEC, APC and Okpebolo to open their defense ASAP

And for the court to determine what is wrong and right.

Akpakomiza2:
Lol, hearsays is what the pdp is presenting in court sir. You have nothing to say. Asue should rest

Kindly go ahead in your cherrypicking.

However stop gassligthing the MOD

fergie001:
Hahahaha

Wawulence indeed.

by the way happy new year.

Whatever will make the Obiokpo Lousy mouth keep quiet is welcomed

Akpakomiza2:
What stops daily trust and vanguard from reporting the accurate events? Why didn't they capture the correct proceedings and headlines? The evidence of those two are trash however..
You are the one not following the tribunal because if you did, you will agree that all PDP agents fumbled. One claimed he was an agent but had no tag, another claimed to witness rigging but was never at the units, another said there was over voting until the respondents proved him otherwise with bvas, one clown claimed there added wrong results until Barr Ikpeazu showed him otherwise, another said Asue lost the election. Is it the one that said he only based his reports from irev or one that claimed he saw bvas but later denied or the other that rejected his statements? Read the handwriting

This are all hearsay say,

I rest my case.

Follow the case

Akpakomiza2:
Oga sir, don't deviate or digress. You lost out as usual. We where talking about the daily trust headlines from a unit agent to mislead people. You and that fellow where totally wrong or misunderstood me. I never said only unit agents testifies. A unit agent lied that the whole LGA was rigged according to daily trust. There was no testimony from a ward or LGA agent according to that very post he posted from daily trust concerning Etsako east. Why are you introducing another different topic and matter when we haven't exhausted that one? Accept that you made a mistake and that your party fumbled first...

What you posted from vanguard is from Ikpoba okha another different LGA entirely... The evidence is also useless because it was given by the LGA agent instead of the ward agent. Only the ward agent or different unit agents can correctly testify what happened at that ward and not the LGA agent..another big loss

Like I said earlier, ogugwa chooses what he writes and I do same. So what is your problem

what you failed to realized is that the LGA and Ward Agent for the Aboves PU had already testify, but because you are not interested in them since it doesn't suite your narrative.


this is where the person you're referring to post is better than Yours

You are only cherrypicking what suite your narratives while ignoring the whole process.

Once again it shows you're not following the tribunal.

However stop comparing yourself to the person you're referencing.

If your post is FP worthy it will go there However stop calling out the MOD

Akpakomiza2:
What is your problem? Did you read the whole message? There was no ward agent who testified, only the unit agent. Show me where there was a ward or unit agent. Does ogugwa balance his reports? He always writes about pdp winning, why can't I do the opposite

If I say that you're not following the tribunal but choosing what to write this is one of such by you.

A key witness for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) testified at the Edo State Election Petition Tribunal on Friday, detailing instances of over-voting in alleged favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Etsako East Local Government Area.

Appearing before the tribunal as a Polling Unit Agent, the witness demonstrated how the total number of votes cast at his polling unit exceeded the number of accredited voters recorded by the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

There's nothing I don't know about electoral matters. As you can see above, it was a mere unit agent. You see why PDP are always failing against APC. A unit witness can only testify for only his unit and not another talk less of ward or a whole LGA. Asue has failed

It's not only unit agent that comes to testify


ward agent also testifies.


That is why I asked That you balanced your report


This is the Message You're Quoting Yet you did bring the complete message

Akpakomiza2:
My reportage is superior to that of ogugwa if we must be honest

Can You expantiate more on this please

Akpakomiza2:
All posts by ogugwa gets to fp instantly. Why

You can do better in your reportage of what actually happened in the court regarding such witnesses not just picking up a bit of what was said said.

Senatordave1 and Garfield with his twist again and this is what You want the MOD to push to the front page by gaslighting him.

it will not work and You know it

Akpakomiza2:
As in,Fergie is the one doing it meanwhile I posted something since morning on Edo and it has been neglected

This is a baseless Accusation


Can You substantiate your said post

Desyno:
Over voting is hard to prove because court don't recognize bvas yet. This was the same scenario in Osun where APC raised concern about over voting but could not proved it at the end of the day.

this is from osun State Appeal Judgement.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had on March 24, affirmed Adeleke as the actual winner of the Osun governorship election, citing evidence from the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machine and voters’ register. Ikpeazu had argued that Oyetola used incorrect polling unit results uploaded on the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) back-end server at the tribunal.

In its judgment yesterday, a five-man panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice John Okoro, whose lead verdict was prepared by Justice Emmanuel Agim, held that while Oyetola argued that the presiding officers who conducted the elections in 774 polling units did not use the BVAS machine, they could not substantiate it.

It said since the BVAS was the sole foundation and focal point of the appellant’s case, it was imperative that they produced the content of the BVAS in those affected polling units.

According to the apex court, based on INEC regulations and guidelines, election results can only be collated if the results agree with the figures in the BVAS and the ones transmitted to the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV). “It is glaring that the appellants could not prove over-voting,” the court held.

seunmsg:
The witness no even get name and the story was reported by only this blog. No credible platform published anything like this and still, it was moved to the front page by the usual anti-APC moderators of Nairaland.

Anyway, Nairaland can keep up entertaining the mobs with false and biased reporting of the tribunal case. It changes nothing. The 2024 Edo governorship election has been won and lost already.

I think the best thing to do is to give the right Information regarding the Teibunal, this gaslighting the OP is not the way to go. You can do better
