I no longer trust INEC.

baby124:
This particular judgment will come with heavy fine. I hope Obi is ready?

There will be no fine against Obi....

I don't understand why INEC will oppose live broadcast of the election petition proceedings. If both the APC and INEC do not have skeleton in their cupboards, they will not oppose live broadcast. More so, every Nigerian in entitled to be in court to witness proceedings, but because no hearing centre can accommodate all Nigerians, opportunity should be given to all. The court should remember what happened a few days ago, where there was a disagreement among spectators due to lack of seats.

When I read about or listen to Apapa, my mind goes to when Ali Modu Sheriff was the Chairman of PDP.

Governance under this incoming government (if it remains that way) is going to be something else. Imagine people scampering for leadership positions both at the executive and national assembly levels. People with so many unanswered questions. Oh Nigeria!!

I wonder if this man and his fellow "Yessah" boys talk to their children about honesty. If they do, what do they say?

Make she kukuma join politics

She does not need to join politics. We all saw the brazen robbery and transportation of votes from Labour Party to APC. Let our conscience dictate our comments. What about the threat, and harassments and prevention of a certain group of voters, who APC feared will massively vote for the Labour Party?
Does she need to be a politician to know that the Supreme Court has been bringing out questionable decisions, particularly in political cases?
Does she need to be a politician to know that corruption is rife, and politicians are major players in corrupt practices? Or, is it that you do not know the ridiculous way the primaries of the APC and PDP played out?
Does she need to be a politician to know that with the way Nigeria is going, the future of the country is bleak? If your judiciary is highly compromised; your police protects the corrupt against the innocent; your legislature is full of corrupt politicians; and your presidency is full of people with questionable character, what future does your country have?
Do you think of your children, or you are just thinking of the now and your pocket?
If we need true positive change for Nigeria, let us support the quest for true transformation of the Nigeria.
Two men (Peter Obi and Datti) has come out with a team of sane and corrupt-free Nigerians to sacrifice their time to revive this country, and some paid "Yessah" men and working day and night to discredit them, but giving credit to some people with questionable character.
I support Chimamanda's letter.
I also support that the hearing of the electoral petitions to be in the open. Let the proceedings be televised. After all, we are all entitled to attend because hearing is supposed to be in the public, but the courtrooms cannot contain all of us. We are all interested in not just the outcome, but also the process that will lead to the decision.

What has political party or a politician got to do with the allegation? Meanwhile, has he gone to Apongbon to see what they sell there and seal the place?

The hearing should be in public. As the courtroom is small, and in one location where every Nigerian can't get in to view as members of the public, it should be televised live for us to see as concerned Nigerians and entitled members of the public.

I knew this idiot has no case.🤣

It is highly disrespectful to call Obi an idiot.

What about the transportation of votes from LP to APC?
This non-qualification thing does not work in Nigeria. If we remember Buhari's case. Even where evidence abound that he had no certificate, the fact that he is able to read and write in English was sufficient for him. I wonder what LP has on Tinubu. It will be interesting if such evidence will be a game changer. Well, I don't think these are all the grounds of the petition. Let us wait and watch.

Who stole whose mandate? Laughable!!!

Who is this one? Abeg no carry your san san spoil Lagosians garri! Who is playing the drum behind the curtain that this one is dancing to in public? Prof ko profligacy ni!

Is this a movie?

Waiting....

Thank you for this post. It can serve as a quick guide going forward.

The Supreme Court will order a new election
Tinubu will not be sworn in

Which Supreme Court? The one with Justices Kayode Eso, Oputa and the likes, or the current ones that imposed Ahmed Lawan on the people of Yobe?

I try not to be emotionally attached to this election. But anytime I think of it, fear grips me for Nigeria. I know that corruption is at play in this election, and I believe that some votes have been switched against the people's choice. I think the INEC chairman should have questioned his SCOPES whether all results have been uploaded on the IReV; whether BVAS was used; whether upload and transmission were done at the polling units; and whether the figures they were reading out reflect the true situation. But, he failed to do so, and was even adamant. Assuming he did not know that all result were not uploaded, and he was told by the party agents, he should have suspended the process even if it means showing to the public that he is fair. But he did not do so. My next fear is the hope of the APC that makes them consistently say, "go to court". They are sure that no matter the questionable way they get into power, the court will be their trusted ally. I hope the courts, particularly the Supreme Court will prove Nigerians wrong this time .

Let Rivers people decide who will be their next governor. Wike has disappointed a lot of well-meaning Riverians with what he did in the presidential election. Wike's words can no longer be Riverians' bond.

I wonder why some people are exited with continuous wreckage of Nigeria.

Confused 😕
Wike has only one vote. He cannot force Rivers people to vote for any candidate.

Why did the palliatives not come out when Nigerians wanted them during the Covid-19 era? Rather than release the palliatives, they hoarded them? Now, election has reached, they are bringing out vote-inducing items in the name of so-called palliative. If they like they should give each citizen a constructed building, we will still vote our conscience. A failed party/candidate will not be voted for. Nigerians should advance beyond vote selling!!!

These state governors that are doing as if they care about the people want to cause chaos in this country. I hope they fail. The 2023 elections must hold. At least the president has declared that N200 notes remain legal tender (both old and new). Why incite the people against the president.

These APC guys are seeing the handwriting on the wall, that their time is up, so they are trying to put spanner in the wheel of the political process by inciting disregard to the rule of law. How can a governor of a state state contrary policies on issue of currency - a constitutional issue that is beyond the state?

After Peter Obi wins the presidency, we will find out the political party FFK will seek to join and aspire to act as its spokesman. I foresee Labour Party.

Losing confidence in Nigeria's judicial system.

How did the Supreme Court arrive at this judgment? Na wa o! I thought Ahmed Lawan did not buy the Senate Form?

I don't get it. Why will state government go to the Supreme Court for this matter? More so, the applicants are the so-called northern state governors that ensured Tinubu emerged as their party candidate. I'm thinking that they are fighting seriously for their future personal gains, not for the good of the nation.

APC is using blame game as a strategy to win elections. In 2015, they blamed PDP for corruption and insecurity. In 2019, they blamed 16 years of PDP. In 2023, they want to blame the presidency. In my opinion, this is a trick, so that we will think that Tinubu is not part of APC's abysmal performance. Nigerians should wake up.

"Unintelligent person"
That is what same Nollywood you are trying to famz; dismissed you as.

Just as they tagged you, giving you a befitting adjective. You are still ignorantly trying to justify the 'tag' by acting like you can't comprehend the simple 'rejection message' passed across. That was an insult from the Nollywood guild not compliment. Mr man

How can you be expecting people who tagged you 'unintelligent' , still unintelligently vote for you?

You are truly 'unintelligent' , Mr Pandora.

Mr Intelligent, let your candidate debate with Peter Obi so that you can "justify" your statement in shame. If you like, do tribalism or sell your votes without caring for the future of Nigeria.

Was he trying to state facts like Peter Obi? When Obi speaks and states figures, including dimensions, do facts check and you will wonder at the accuracy. El-rufai has tried and failed. Peter Obi is solid.
