They know mapo is too small as stated in the report but still went ahead to use it because they want to create an impression of a crowded venue

Hitler killed millions of people and yet there were people who still justified the ignoble actions.
So am not surprised that justifications are coming for these brazen illegality

bamidelee:
some of us were no young back then bro, the evil party NRC transformed to PDP. Now how can you convince me that PDP is not an evil party

NRC and sdp dissolved when abacha stepped in. Five new parties wère formed thereafter with members of both parties scattering in the five parties.
The five endorsed abacha for president but there are was an opposition pressure group called G34 formed by Alex Ekwueme. When abacha died, all those politicians and supporters of abacha rallied round and formed APP which we jokingly called Abachas Peoples Party. Ekwueme and other gentlemen who believed in rule of law like Solomon Lar converted that G34 to PDP.
Buhari was a member of that app which he ran for presidency in 2003 and 2007 before breaking away to form CPC in 2011. Those abacha men are all now in APC including tinubu

QuotaSystem:
Lol you guys love to delude yourselves.

How come the President & Commander in chief is the only one that enjoys constitutional immunity, while the heads of the 2 other arms of government don't enjoy that privilege? Veto powers?

Immunity was granted him by the constitution to protect whoever is there from distractions. It's not buhari's power.
And a level of immunity was granted to the leadership of the legislature by the same constitution which ststes that they can only be removed by impeachment of a two third majority vote. An act of the constitution which buhari has moved to rubbish.
Also the CJN as the head of the judiciary also has his own level of protection within the same constitution which stipulates that for a CJN to be removed, it must be by recommendation of the NJC or by two third of the Senate. And this same buhari has also moved to rubbish the constitution again. There is no place in our constitution for suspension of a CJN.


That you all see the truth but let partisan interest blind you to the gross violation of our constitution is very worrisome and a sad development for the nation

Tell that bagger to try visiting Niger delta again

Every Nigerian should know that this gross violation and rape of the judiciary is not about the PDP but about the violation of our constitution. Every well meaning Nigerian irrespective of party differences should rise up and condemn it

[quote author=livelymatilda22 post=75129059][/quote]Brandishing this photo is mischevious.
I remember this event. This was at the formal commissioning of a judicial building built by Wike's govt which they invited the CJN as the head of the judiciary to commission

zlantanfan:
if the cjn isn't a member of any party as you claim why not allow the new one do his job since he was next in line. I don't believe tanko was rooted from any unsynchronized hierarchy.

What actually is the big deal with onogen as cjn, why have other opposition not taken this personal and suspend campaign.

Should the notorious cjn who is pro PDP in judgement also head a case against himself.


You have been having sleepless night jumping from thread to thread but that is where your keyboard war can reach

You suspect the CJN is a pdp apologist and should be removed. Note: suspect. No clear fact.
But he's being replaced with a CJN whose wife is an APC senatorial candidate. Not suspected but fact with her posters and campaign known.
Do you see how hypocritical this govt has got you all to reason

senatordave1:
No,it means inec will obey the judgment that came first and which specifically ordered it

While one ordered it to reverse a stand, the other maintained that they are in the right on their stand. You see how both nils off each other.
It will have to take a superior court to change inec stand and with the courts going on a total shut down, I fear the APC may not have time to follow that thru

Dear Dele my boy.
You are part of the people who set aside your sense of reasoning and campaigned vigorously for this evil that has befallen us.
May your own punishment be served on you too.
And anyone who is reading this and still wants to vote buhari, thunder fire you .

It means inec will maintain status quo which means that their earlier stand of disqualified apc stands until a superior court (appeal) makes a superior pronouncement

NOC1:
If the democracy you fought for is what we have been experiencing since the past 20 years, i pray to the Britains to come and recolonise us.

See the manifestation of what am saying.
Incase you don't know. By law:  The three arms are co-equals and none is subservient to the other.
Buhari is not greater than the CJN or national assembly. That he has abrogated power to himself and flexing authoritarian powers across other arms and still getting kids supporting it clearly shows the danger ahead

This rape on the judiciary isn't about the PDP. These kids on social media should understand that. It's a rape on our constitution. It's an effontery on the will of the Nigerian people. Any well meaning Nigerian should rise up against this coup. It means the constitution is no longer valid.

Some of us who were already of voting age during the military era,some of us who campaigned during the SDP and NRC era are really worried that this present generation of kids following APC may not grow to understand what democracy truly looks like

Every word has come to be true

Justice Tanko is not recognised by the NJC as the CJN

And yet for selfish reasons, they still backed him

Benlag:
I dont even know why you folks are crying. With or without the suspension of the pdp stooge they will loose the election with huge margin.

If they are sure of this, apc won't be this desparate

And Tinubu after saying this, later went ahead to bring the tyrant up for selfish reasons

This is exactly why they were in a haste to remove the CJN and replace him with this 'party man' CJN.
And isn't it a surprise that in less than 24 hours after being sworn in illegally, his first duty is to constitute the panel to sit over the election petitions.
APC is not hiding their intentions and they are brazenly daring us to do our worst.
For a CJN to be removed by the president, he must get two-thirds majority vote of the senate or recommendation by the NJC. Until that is done, this appointment is an illegality and I will advise that the judiciary ignore it and let Walter Onnoghen continue his work as CJN

The new Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, will on Saturday (tomorrow), swear in members of the National Assembly, governorship and state assembly election petition tribunals, The PUNCH has learnt.

Muhammad was sworn-in by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday afternoon shortly after announcing the suspension of the substantive CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who is facing charges of corruption before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The election petition tribunals will be expected to handle disagreements that may arise from the conduct of the elections which begin in three weeks.

Born on December 31, 1953 at Doguwa – Giade, a local government area in Bauchi State, Justice Muhammad attended Ahmadu Bello University where he received a bachelor’s degree in Law in 1980.

He later obtained a master’s degree and doctorate from the same university in 1984 and 1998 respectively.

AnanseK:
Go on spread any wicked rumors but we can’t allow a suspected criminal to continue heading the judiciary just because he is from your ethnic group.

And his best replacement is from buhari's ethnic group?
You people are wicked and God's judgement is coming upon all the perpetrators and supporters of this evil

Please where are we converging tomorrow. We must run aso rock over. I am ready .
I heard this man's wife is an APC senatorial candidate or so.

Lalasticlala, I think this report explicitly deflates that lie someone tried to put on nairaland' s front page

By Shittu Shola -January 25, 2019


A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday upheld the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to bar all candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State from participating in the 2019 general elections.

The court said INEC acted within its powers by refusing to accept the list of APC candidates for the next general elections.



Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu said it was not the fault of INEC that the APC failed to conduct a valid primary within the period scheduled by the electoral body.


Mr Ojukwu said INEC’s action was intended to curb impunity among political parties and politicians; ensure that rule of law is adhered to.

The judgment was on a suit filed in the name of APC by some individuals, who said they emerged from a consensus arrangement adopted by the party in Zamfara State.

INEC had in September 2018 barred APC from fielding candidates for the elections over ‘failure to hold credible primary elections’.



“Based on the provision of Section 87 and 31 of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, the commission does not expect that your party will submit names of any candidate from Zamfara State,” INEC said in a letter addressed to the party’s leadership.

“For clarity, our position, therefore, is that the APC will not be fielding candidates for the governorship, National Assembly and state Assembly elections.”

National chairman of the APC Adams Oshiomhole, thereafter, accused INEC of bias.



But, a state High Court sitting in Gusau, in October, issued an interim order restraining INEC from disqualifying the APC from fielding candidates for the 2019 elections.

Chai.... See my Buhari.... Still they say PMB is not working

Attracted and built by chukwuma soludo. This cbn governor only put finishing touches for buhari to have something to commission.
We all know that buhari can never allow such project to be conceived in the South East. He should show us the project he conceived and finished in his four years

Some of these women have wandering spirit. She has married and divorced three husbands and still searching.
She has dumped Christianity for Islam and has now dumped Islam for Christianity again. Later she will switch to Buddha or Confucianism.
She should just stop and seek help to her wandering spirit

deji17:
Buhari my guy...

The only project completed by buhari (not initiated by him) between enugu and Anambra states is the marble tiling of Zik's tomb

Forget buhari. He's already out.
Nigerians should fast and pray that buhari doesn't return cos things will get far worse in his second tenure. The mere tot of buhari coming back makes me worry about the future of Nigeria

Abuse Atiku.........20minutes

Abuse OBJ...........20minutes

Abuse Bukola Saraki.....15minutes

Hand over party flags to state aspirants

Buhari fall and doesn't know what to say

Oshiomhole dances.....10minutes

Sing the National anthem and close

Please, is it when Buhari will call his VP, Tunde Idiagbon that we'll know he has since slid into dementia

sarrki:
It’s An awareness campaign for the online urchins that lacks respect for elders and hate for know reason

They don't hate buhari for no reason.

Buhari has never hidden his disdain for igbos and other non fulani tribe's. And you know igbos are not very good with eye service. If you show them love, they will show you love. If you show them hate , they will show same.

Any objective Nigerian that is honest to himself knows it that buhari by his words and action is a tribal bigot who can't hide it. I think you are either naive or lying to pretend you don't know that buhari is tribalistic.

Even in his trip at enugu, he even insulted the intelligence of the entire South east and South South to state that his appointment of service chiefs that all northern Muslims is based on merit. In other words, nobody in the security agencies from the south east are worth his appointment.

Please read this. Let's not pretend about this or feign ignorance. He is an unrepentant bigot.

As we prepare to go to the polls i would like to reflect on an event that happened in
1985.

2. IN 1983 the Secretary general of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) DR Edem Kodjo of Togo stepped down prematurely and he was replaced by an alumni of UNN An Igbo man called DR PETER ONU as acting Secretary general.

3. Dr peter Onu was a Nigerian diplomat and philanthropist. He served as an ambassador to Germany.
He was a very brilliant man who was well respected and became friends to the legendary Dr Julius Mwalimu Nyerere of Tanzania

4. In 1985 it was time for an official secretary general of the OAU and most African leaders who were very confident in Dr Peter Onu leadership wanted to vote him to become the secretary General Of OAU.

What happened Next was very shocking to most African leaders

6. What happened was captured in Ibrahim Daggash book called OAU: Fictions and fact.

The book reads

@ I remember in 1985 at African Hall we were campaigning for Dr Peter Onu of Nigeria to be Made the OAU Secretary general.

We learnt that the Head of State of Nigeria General M. Buhari was supporting
another candidate IDI OMARO from Niger republic

7. We were shocked so we mobilized a team to meet with him,
The team was lead by the very popular Julius Nyerere from Tanzania and other African leaders.

8. When we approached him Julius Nyerere begged him:

“Please give us Peter Onu from your country!’

Gen Buhari refused and even got very annoyed with us . What was surprising was that , when the result emerged and the winner was Niger’s Candidate IDI OMARO a Muslim .

General Buhari rejoiced to such a degree that he was unable to control his emotions. That was a moment I witnessed and was convinced that General Buhari would not last long as a leader.” –

9. With that single act General Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria became the only president in History to vote against his own country.

He couldn't bear the thought of an Igbo man heading the OAU so he voted for Niger republic instead

10. Never in the History of Nigeria have we ever had a President that showed Openly his disdain for Ndigbo and
what they stand for. If any Igbo man tells you 4+4. Show them this article
