Now tell me how it is your business. Did Mbaka complain to you? Mind your business.

The statement made by the PDP was irresponsible and regrettable.

No problems. As long as they don't bear arms cos it's only the Military, Police, DSS and some Para-Millitary that are empowered by the constitution to bear arms.

TRUSTEDGUY:


They caught him and so?

Na these kind petty thief Nigeria NPF or Civil defense go caught all the Ogas at the top way dey loot millions who worry them? Useless country

You should be commending the security operatives. That thing is very dangerous and could bring about a disaster.

Calabar

Buhari has done well. Kudos.

Stupid opinion dished out for the consumption of
gullible nitwits.

And what do you think the public would do if Mbaka had not prophesied before the Supreme Court judgement?

The same supreme court (without any prior prophesy) removed a governor, 3 senators, several HoR members, House of Assembly members (all members of the APC) from office with one judgement and the public did not do jack. This happened in Zamfara State which was 100% APC controlled state.

You guys seem to be missing the point here. There were results from over 300 PU that Hope Uzodinma won with margins that were unbelievable. But the issue is that it had not been cancelled at the PUs affected so therefore the only other place where is should have been cancelled is at a competent Governorship Election Petition Tribunal (that's what the electoral act says).

The mistake is not from the Supreme Court. The supreme court is only upholding the law by validating those results (since INEC and Emeka Ihedioha did not know what to do).

Supreme court has no business with weather the total will now be more than accredited voters.

Ihedioha's legal team messed up big time. They should have filled a petition at the election petition tribunal asking them to nullify those results from the over 300 PUs based on obvious irregularities and INEC would have supported them.

Means nothing

Chest beating. Impeach am make we see.

Hmmmm

You did not mention that you demolished a lot of things built by your predecessor.

RadicalNigerian:
HOW TO FOOL NIGERIANS USING RELIGION

APC Cabal: "Hello. Father Mbaka"

Father Mbata: "Hello Sir"

APC Cabal: "We have settled the Supreme Court judges to rule in our favor, but we need you to include it in your prophetic declaration that "God has revealed to you that Hope Uzodinma will be the declared the winner" you know very well that Nigerians believe anything that has "God says" in it and they respect men of god without questioning them. Besides, this will ease any tension that may arise, they won't suspect anything fishy.

Father Mbata: "Ok, I understand, I will do just that...do you still have my account number?

APC Cabal: "of course i do, I will send some money to your account now.

Father Mbata: "Ok Sir, thank you sir...I am always at your service.

Talk only wetin you Sabi. No go de carry another person problem for your head.

Ihedioha was too busy witch-hunting Okorocha to properly handle his case at the Tribunal.

Staro:

Honestly, is there no way for Ihedioha to challenge
those fraudulent 300 polling unit results afresh?

Lawyers in the house, is it too late?

I feel for that man.
I guess his lawyers didn't do due diligence.
The loss is damn too painful to bear.

I hate injustice. I hate cheating
It's so painful. It's not about PDP or APC.

It's too late. He should have filled a petition at the election petition tribunal asking the tribunal to cancel those results as only the Presiding officer at the Polling Unit or the Tribunal are empowered by the electoral act to cancel election results.

The error is from his legal team.

Anyone in his shoes will rejoice. Emeka Ihedioha was seriously witch-hunting him.

MrGerald:
If you believe this interpretation by the court it means you're dumb and can believe anything.

you can go Bleep yourself.

Very correct. Most Nigerians don't know how to think critically.

Very correct analysis. Most people erroneously think that courts deliver their rulings based on sentiment.

You just displayed absolute stupidity. You are saying all these because what he said he saw (which actually materialised) did not go down well with you.

Some youth on Nairaland spend their entire day, every day of the week, all year round criticising and shouting Buhari. Is there any wonder then that they remain poor?

3Ceagle:
Although the full judgement has not been made to the public but What should be in the mind of an objective person is
1. Why was it initially excluded.
2. Who excluded the results
3. Were the results signed off by the parties/inec
4. Were the results reconciled to voided votes
5. How come a massive 338 PU were excluded
6. Can the election materials be examined to affirm this results.
7. Could have be a posibility of a rerun election in those units.
8. What is lawful and unlawful result.

Electoral judgements in Nigeria will always leave much to be desired. Until we moved to more verifiable and a better reformed election process, we continue to have thieves govern us without fear of removal.

All these arguments should have been done at the tribunal or Court of Appeal. The screen shot below gives you an idea of how the issue was handled.

Rubbish

Mightyhaiz:
shey these entire 388 units,no body voted any other candidate except hope.. They should add other people votes there too..

You should have gone to the tribunal to argue on Ihedioha's behalf when that issue came up na.

Anwons:
Party aside at least for once Nigerians. I'm yet to comprehend how a once respected supreme court judges would assume that the so called 388 units votes were for Uzodinma. Someone that didn't even came second?
Not to even talk of how Nwosu hurriedly withdrew.

What is left again in Nigerian judicial system?

Nwosu was earlier disqualified by the court so he had no choice but withdraw or have his petition struck out.

This guy is dumb. The court simply agreed that the results from 388 PU's where Hope Uzodinma won but we're not added to the tally (unlawfully). should have been added.
When the results from these 388 PU's were added, he had the majority of lawful votes cast and has also fulfilled all the other constitutional requirements. Therefore he is the winner.

Hope Uzodinma's petition was predicated on the fact that INEC unlawfully cancelled results in most polling units where he scored majority votes. He contended that INEC lacks the power to nullify the election of a polling unit after the Presiding Officer had declared the result in that polling unit.

He further argued that if you calculate the votes in the polling units unlawfully cancelled by INEC and add it to the existing ones, he scored the highest number of valid votes cast and he ought to have been declared the winner of the election.

Hope Uzodinma through his counsel tendered those results sheets where he won and INEC did not deny that those results were written by their agents (the Presiding Officers).

There were no contradictory results tendered by the Respondents in respect of the polling units where Uzodinma claimed he won.

The law is already settled that once results have been declared by a presiding officer, the INEC has no power to nullify or cancel the result.

Only a competent election petition tribunal has such power.

Secondly, the Apex Court could not have ordered for a rerun or run off because Hope Uzodinma met the constitutional requirement of securing 25% votes in 2/3 of the Local Governments in the State and he won the highest number of valid votes cast in the election.

In any event, the petitioner/appellant Hope Uzodinma did not seek such a relief from the tribunal.

Thirdly, the argument on the effect of the Uche Nwosu's judgment was not canvassed at the Supreme Court in the Uzodinma's case.

The Supreme Court has no power to delve into issues not canvassed or presented before it.

There was no cross appeal or issue canvassed at the apex court on whether Hope Uzodinma was a candidate of the APC in the IMO Governorship election or whether his appeal has become incompetent in view of the recent decision of the apex court regarding the dual candidacy of Uche Nwosu.

In any event, Hope Uzodinma was not a party to that other case nullifying the candidacy of Uche Nwosu.

The decision of the apex court is not meant to massage the sentiments of a few persons.

The Court of law decides a case based on the issues formulated before it and marrying the evidence led at the trial to the law.

That to me, is what the Supreme Court just did. We however await the full judgment of the Court so we can make better meaning out of it. We only have to respect it. Of course intellectual critiques are welcomed.

Ihedioha must have mobilised these guys to insult Fr Mbaka.

Congratulations Governor Hope Uzodinma.

Learn the secrets of Aloha, it will nourish your dark mental state.

I am only making an objective observation, and believe me I don't really care who the folks involved are and have nothing personal against them. So what do you mean by dark mental state?

The problem with most Nigerians is too much sentiment.

That thing will be washed away in the rainy season. Very bad job.
