fergie001:
I asked for it yesterday.... but the person, one of Ombugadu's lawyers was at the SC today, so I am expecting still.

I don't think it looked good today at the Supreme Court but you and I know we have to fear Kekere-Ekun. Alongside Odili, she is the one that makes the big calls.

She made the call in Kogi after Abubakar Audu's death and also made the call with Uzodinma.

You are missing something.she didn't make any call but wrote the majority or should I say unanimous judgment even in rivers.even here it will be unanimous esp if the other judges were anti ombugadu.what happens if that they all discuss and if they are in agreement,one is chosen to write and it usually falls on her.
She will be cjn this year and will tread very carefully from now till august

waveman2:
Now you are shouting all governor's will be returned.when you where busy arguing plateau gov will be removed.well I don't see tinubu not acting on this one sule will be reaffirm will presidency influence that was why they didn't interfere in plateau and kano judgement.

I was so sure of that plateau.since he is affirmed,then all will be affirmed

spencekat:
There will be at least a single upset.

The most likely upset was plateau followed by Kano and then zamfara.the matter in nasarawa has been settled by the apex court in the presidential ruling

Cc Fergie001,help me with the full judgment of the appeal court.from this summary,the judgment makes sense

Chikel20000:
When will d result b announced

Friday latest but expect nothing

SIONKPO1:
Error
MADA dominates AKWANGA LGA,the Eggons are second to Mada

Same thing na.it is dominated by mostly xtians and people won't vote him as it has turned ethnic.ombugadu should go to the senate as guber is going to nasarawa west in 2027

Eriokanmi:
Are you saying religion will be a decider in thhs case? No wonder the country
isn't at peace when people are being deprived of their rights openly. God doesn't live in such an environment. Then let's throw our constitution away and appoint secondary school graduates as judges, since those who are professionals will be biased against a supposed winner. We don't need them there since they can't do their jobs notably.

I still have the nasarawa results on my computer till now. You can imagine the people of the state saying openly that the pdp guy was their endorsed candidate and Labour willingly stepped down and supported him. It will be interesting though. Sule even lost his ward and LG where he hails from, to show Nigerians it wasn't about religion

Sule lga is dominated by eggon and christians so why will he win there? If pdp won,he would have been declared.as far as pdp won zamfara,then they can't be rigged anywhere

Indispensable85:
I don't think any governor will be sacked.

Exactly after what happened next week

aylipple:
Nasarawa may just be decided in Ombugadu/PDP's favour; man was easily coasting to victory till the results somehow turned out in favour of the APC/Gov. Sule.

Is it not obvious that all govs will be returned

EggonBoy:
I will reserved my comments pending the final judgment.

All governors will be affirmed

Eriokanmi:
Nasarawa election was so clear and I hope the past leaders in that state won't connive with the federal govt to upturn the judgement in favour of the APC . It would be a slap on the face of the pdp guy who was voted overwhelmingly, just the way kano election went.

Oga,after the apex court ruled in plateau and Kano,apply commonsense na

IfnobeGod20:
garfield1 like arguing blindly and also like manufacturing lies just to appear right. Check his last comment, he even claimed they went for an appeal in a case that was only determined by the SHC. I find it difficult to have discourse with him because he doesn't submit to superior argument at all. It was the SHC that first adjourned the case for them for them to resolve the issue politically but the main stream of PDP party went ahead to conduct the congress and it was reported to the court and the court nullified the congress and asked them to go and conduct fresh one by taking the plaintiffs along in the new arrangement, which they complied with and went to conduct fresh one. The same garfield1 was still blind to supreme court judgement where it was stated that the state party complied with the SHC judgement by conducting new congress but Mr. garfield1 still went ahead twisting everything just to appear right. I just pity that guy in real life and his children. If his children take after his double standard, it becomes a generational issue.
Ask him to produce the appeal court judgement on the same case, he will dodge to another thing and will never made mention or produce same. He's just despicable person.

Oga,the appeal court in October 2022 affirmed the nullification of the congress.send your email,I'll send you the full appeal court details.the fresh Congress conducted by pdp was partially done and was still nullified by the court.pdp had no candidate mr.continue running and dodging childishly

BluntCrazeMan:
@-the emboldened...

You have said it all.

The future effects of that judgement is that, a political party can blatantly go against the constitution (and/or against the Electoral-Act), and nobody outside the political part can do anything about it, because it is an internal party affair.


..
Ok naa.
Lessons had been learnt..

Parties will now have to plant moles in opposition parties as members of that party, so that they can use these moles to challenge the excesses of these opposition political parties.

What else should I say about that naa??

Exactly

BluntCrazeMan:
Stop misunderstanding my comments oga.


What I'm saying is this...
Let the opposition maintain their opposition.
And if they're too weak to be a strong opposition,, then they can choose to go totally silent.
But not to start sycophantic moves in the hope to join the government of the day.

It is a recipe for total failure.
Especially in delivering the dividends of governance to the people.

(You can choose to misunderstand me again)

The misunderstanding here was from you initially.the apga and pdp candidates cannot play opposition,they are dependent on government funding esp odoh while anyi is a moneybag like atiku that get contracts from govt.apga and pdp are almost non-existent there.if not for hon okorie,lp party is comatose in ebonyi..

I'll like us to brainstorm on the apex court judgment in plateau.if you understand the law well,you will know that the apex court went beyond it's scope to save muftwang.you can see I am not bothered about kano

UCyril:
all of them nah d same... Izzi, ezza, ikwo they are all Abakaliki people

Izzi are the real abakaliki

BluntCrazeMan:
Ok then.

Because the governor was sounding as if anybody was begging him to make the opponents a part of his government..


Whereas the opponents are supposed to become the opposition, which also is a part of government on its own.

Failure of the opposition means an all-round failure in governance.

The gov reached out to them and begged them to withdraw their cases.they agreed only to deceive him.tjat is very painful na.he reacted humanly.so you think most of those that call the opposition to join them mean it? Na

BluntCrazeMan:
So..??

Does it stop him from being an active opposition to the government of the state?

I am not talking of the opposition part.but by the way,odoh is a fairweather politician.he won't play opposition

Cc caseless

Cc muykem

BluntCrazeMan:
So, it means anything spectacular?

It prevents him from being an active opposition?

He is not from abakaliki as he implied

BluntCrazeMan:
You don't beg for Opposition..
The Opposition arise if there is need.

PDP and APGA are already supposed to be your automatic oppositions, and to keep you on your toes all through.

So, it is up to them to take up their role,, or to slack and and allow you to rule unopposed.

Odoh is an exza man

YaksonFCA:
Stop exhibiting gros ingnorance here.
The only people that can challenge such case is not only PDP members but aspirants at the respective primary election through the high court not the tribunal

The fact of Zamfara case is not exactly as plateau because it was an internal battle for control of the APC by two factions loyal to Sen Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabir Marafa. The matter started from High Court not the tribunal

Stop exhibiting gross misunderstanding and misscomorehensuon.apc simply asked that the judgment of f the high court be applied against muftwang.

IfnobeGod20:
The supreme court judgement was in order and no bias in it, because PDP never erred at all. They followed what court asked them to do by redoing the congress, which they did. You know I told you that time, the only clause I think they may not followed as directed by the court is that those that filed the case should be included in the new congress to be conducted. Whether they included them or not is what we don't know but of they didn't, they should have gone back to court to vent their anger of exclusion. Meaning in the eye of the law, they complied with the ruling of the Plateau state high court. This was stated plainly in the supreme court ruling. Aside that, the state secretariat of a party is not by law permitted to conduct primary, except the NWC of the party. If the organ the constitution says should conduct primary, how would someone stand up and say because the party doesn't have structure in the state, then, it void the primary conducted by the party organ. It goes against the stated law.

You still do not get it.the high court ordered them to redo the primaries and they reconducted only in 5 lgas.meanwhile,there was an injunction stopping the primaries.the aggrieved parties went back to court and it annulled the primaries and disq pdp.it got to appeal and they affirmed the shc judgment.it got to to the apex court which failed to make a ruling and with this,that case ended.the apex court lost jurisdiction to retry the case.that judgment remains subsisting and standing and all courts are bound by it.this supreme court is an election appeal court with restricted jurisdiction.it has no power to delve into a judgment made by a regular court....

The order of the court affected pdp as a whole from doing anything in plateau not plateau pdp.besides the Congress is where delegates who vote in primaries emanate.sir,the apex court erred in law.it made a pronouncement it lacked jurisdiction to

IfnobeGod20:
What I want you to know is, the house can rock the bolt against them by not allowing the clerk to inaugurate them for months while the lawmakers concerned/ousted filed frivolous case in the court. But as a person, I am of the opinion that the ousted lawmakers should file for a review at the appeal court and direct same to the president of the appeal court. The judges that delivered the judgements erred in law because there are several supreme court precedence they should have followed but they just went to manufactured their own law and robbed it on the legitimately voted lawmakers.

The appeal court judgment was right.the apex court erred in law

IfnobeGod20:
Sanction for not following precedence. The supreme court had umpteenth times said parties or her members have no right to bring preelection matter to the tribunal and they have also said, issue of nomination is a party internal affairs and nothing concern nonmember of that party. This has been said severally in their judgements but the trial and appeal courts jettisoned that. Even some of us that are not lawyers have raised the same concern when the judgements came out then. Sometimes you don't need to be a lawyer to know some simple precedence in law as delivered in law court.
I remember that I even argued with garfield1 one day that this case can be liken to supreme court judgement that fraction in the party state level can not make any lawmaker to defect to another party, except such fraction happen at the national party headquarters. We told them state party executive doesn't conduct primary by law, it is a the NWC of the party that conduct primary. If the NWC is not fractioned, how would you say the primary they conducted is faulty? Common sense.

The apex court erred in order to save muftwang

Iampromoted:
That means you don't really understand the laws governing elections and electoral parties.

That the Appeal Court gave that judgment doesn't mean they are right.

With due respect,you are the one that is misunderstanding the issue here.judgnent is not about whether right or wrong.once a judgment is passed no matter how ridiculous or bad,it must be obeyed until set aside on appeal.this is law 101,a universal principle.that appeal court judgment of Nov is subsisting and has not been set aside.the appeal court sitting as a tribunal rightly obeyed it.
The supreme court sitting as an electoral appeal tribunal had no powers to get overturn that judgment.they either obey it or save the gov using technicality

Iampromoted:
No 1: The judgement the Appeal Court relied on was from a State High Court.

No 2: It was clearly a pre-election issue, which should have emanated from the Federal High Court, and not the Tribunal.

Tribunals are strictly to handle election issues.

1) that judgment of the high court was upheld by the appeal court and the apex court failed to rule on it.it is judgment in rem and binding on everybody...
2) the issue here is a court judgment and judgments are general.it is both pre election and post election.the high courts settled it and the tribunal are bound by it.it is just like the shettima case that was settled by the regular courts and the tribunal was bound by it..

Tribunals are bound by regular court decisions.they cannot relitigate on it or overturn in.they must obey it.the high court decision is binding on the tribunal

Osanoghodua1:
How about Nassarawa?

With this judgment,mere formality

asobo1:
PDP gida gida. Caleb Mutfwang gida gida oooh

Garfield you are free to open a new account and continue being a nuisance here. PDP is Plateau

Half plateau.the legislature is APC

Iampromoted:
Garfield I respectfully disagree with you.

Why sir? No one seems to understand my point but I know I am right.the apex court messed me up

spencekat:
Lucky in what is right?

On a normal,the court should have sacked him as pdp cannot sponsor any candidate in plateau

spencekat:
Look at you

How? Muftwang was lucky
