Haahahaaaahahaaa..


They are definitely going to set the place on fire..

INEC themselves can do this by themselves too.

They knew that once the evidence is destroyed, then the case is gone.
.....rather than causing an annulment..


In-fact,...
From the tone of the APC’s response,, the burning is definitely going to happen.

And the both parties would end up throwing blames around.

And yet, nothing will happen again.

IfnobeGod20:
Please did you read the news that a new congress was conducted in 2021. The agitation should now be the authenticity of the congress and who conducted it. There's nothing like partial compliance here. In 2020 a court ordered for a new congress and in 2021 a new congress was conducted, meaning there is a structure in the state. Except a member of PDP can stand up and say the conduct of the congress was not in compliance with Nigeria constitution and PDP constitution and not another party member or party dabbling into the affair that doesn't concern them.

Caseless:
All we're saying is, let the true votes count. Let's see what the true votes against what the accreditation figure is.


Garfield, we've been on this APC thing for long. We know what it took us to get this party to power. Let's not do the same thing PDP did and pretend we're different. We're back to the days of Iwu and that's dangerous. Our election must be seen to meet standard. I support candidates now, not party anymore.

IfnobeGod20:
PDP has lost all the 16 seats in the Plateau House of Assembly as Appeal Court declared Nimchalk Nansak of APC as the winner of the Langtang constituency.

2:
But the court only faulted 11 LGAs congress while 6 were not faulted. So for court to say the structure of PDP collapsed since 2020 was a miscarriage. It should have the structure partially collapsed.
Meanwhile, the state structure of any party doesn't sponsor candidate, it is the NWC that sponsor candidates. Even the submission of candidates and filling of their forms are done by the NWC and not local structure. State don't sponsor candidates if it concerns senatorial, House Reps, presidential, governorship and state house of Assembly. Only local council state structure sponsor.

The way some of you compare what happened in Zamfara and Rivers states with that of Plateau is pitiable. The cases, Zamfara and Rivers wasn't election case, it was a case that went through the normal courts to the Supreme Court and it was initiated by member of the same party. Like that of Zamfara, it was initiated by Marafa while that of Rivers was initiated by Magnus Abbey when he was he APC. In this case, it is an election matter and no member of PDP take PDP to tribunal. Hence, this should have been a preelection matter, which PDP should have argued at the High Court before election, as soon as the primaries were conducted by PDP to chose their candidates but they abandoned it till election was conducted and returned made.
You people should stop comparing the incomparable. They are different cases all together.

4:
Nullified 11 LGAs congress and not all.

5: Yes you're correct.

6: Yes you're also correct.

7:
Yes, the court nullified the congress conducted in 2020 and advised them to conduct another one and also including the 11 petitioners in the congress. The question now is, who conducted the congress and were the 11 petitioners carried along as directed by the court?
If it was the NWC that conducted the congress, then, what is the fuss in this, that APC will now be the one to take the matter to court and not those 11 PDP members? Because this is just party internal affair.

8: The lawyer of another PDP faction was E.G. Pwajok SAN. He asked PDP to comply with court order. You should have quoted the year he asked the party to comply with court order. Was it before 2021 congress was conducted or after?

9: I think hiring him is just a coincidence and not what you think. He is a lawyer and his service can be needed by any party, just as Wole Olanipekun is also representing NNPP in court today.

10: I think the concern of Atiku and Sule Lamido is based on the case already decided where in the same court lampooned Atiku as interloper and bussybody for dabbling in the internal affair of APC, when he took Shettima to court for double nomination. And they also claimed at the PEPT that it was a preelection matter that supposed to have been taken to High Court and not tribunal.
The court should stop playing double standard. They cannot claim one thing today and claim another thing tomorrow. It was the same court, the Supreme Court for that matter that says it is NWC that sponsor candidates and state structure, then, why turning around to say otherwise.

onuman:
But it's the APC which made position of the law to be dead in Nigeria. Apc wants a one party system to enable it pursue Fulanization and Islamization of Nigeria after Buhari's RUGA was soundly rejected.

bjtinz:
After rigging

Caseless:
He won ? Even if they combine his total votes from central to the west, he hasn't amassed up to 200k votes, I mean, true votes or if deductions are made.

Bobloco:
And you are happy about it

Are you aware that people's mandate is being robbed using the court

Bobloco:
garfield1, no court order was disobeyed.

the fact remains that the court was misled

Bobloco:
It has changed to "PDP failed to notify the court"

garfield1, I am an advocate of good governance and rule of law. LP, PDP, NNPP whatever

I stand by the truth

Bobloco:
garfield, the court order was obeyed. Another congress was conducted. It is during this election tribunal that we suddenly hearing that the congress wasn't conducted in all the lga's.

The question every right thinking person is asking, did any member of PDP went back to the court to complain about the congress wasn't conducted. The answer is an emphatic No!

No PDP member complained at the high court that it wasn't conducted. Or that they were excluded

Suddenly, at the election tribunal, the APC who weren't party to it complain about it at the tribunal and got favorable judgement.

Bobloco:
garfield, you know that you can't compare the Zamfara and Rivers state case to this.

Both of them were as a result of internal wranglings of members of APC, each factions taking themselves to court

But in the case of plateau state, there are no internal wranglings in the PDP, even if there is one, is the APC expected to present it at the election tribunal. We are talking about a pre election matter being brought to the election tribunal specifically created for that purpose. Common garfield.


Suddenly, the narrative change to PDP had no structure.
I am asking how does that concern the APC that PDP got no structure. Were they expected to present it at the election tribunal that PDP had no structure. Is the election tribunal where you talk about structure. What happened to the high court

FreeStuffsNG:
Same thing once happened to APC in Zamfara and Rivers states.

Nokio2:
The wuru wuru speaker who happens to be my member from pankshin north should tread carefully, pdp will vacate and leave him high and dry..anyways he will be minority leader ,minority whip,minority caucus only him 1..the sponsor and owner of ypp in plateau Gontori has moved to APC so make the young lad jeje dey move

KenOne:
Ok

IfnobeGod20:
I hate back and forth which I know you enjoy. Except Supreme Court just want to reverse itself. No third party can meddle on the internal affairs of another party. All these make up you're bringing doesn't take a party few minutes to make them available to authenticate Yusuf's membership. As you're even claiming his membership card is fake, the membership register submitted is not genuine, as if APC is the maker of all party membership cards and registers.

IamANigerianMan:
The part won 23 house of assembly and governor one useless man in Abuja is saying it has not structure

IamANigerianMan:
Oga this not electoral offence, I am not saying it is not an offence, APC has no right to take PDP to court over their matter.. this was internal crises of the party.. you are going to see what Supreme court would say over this

IamANigerianMan:
Appeal court has the most corrupt Judges on Earth, Disobeying court order and party has no structure is not an electoral offence..

Alba3:
PDP benefited from same in Zamfara but failed to put their house in order in Plateau and surfer same.

wengerman:
. Where ,we can all see that bvas accreditation is far far lower than votes cast in kogi central. Bvas might be apc undoing in kogi state

Indispensable85:
I don't care about igala,Okun,ibira. My point is, let the process be credible.

Indispensable85:
Talk truth, even you shock when u see results from okene and adavi. Lol....brazingly done!

iokpebholo:
And you are very happy abi?now I know how useless you are.

THE Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked all the 16 members of the Plateau State House of Assembly who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for disobedience to court order and lack of political structure.

Meanwhile, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor John Wade, declared that the PDP deserves no sympathy because the party shot itself in the leg, while the State Commissioner of Information and Communications, Mr Musa Ashoms, described the recent judgment against the PDP as a temporary setback.

It will be recalled that prior to the last judgment, the Appeal Court had earlier sacked four members of House Representatives and two senators who are members of the PDP.

In a dramatic twist of event, Speaker of the House of State Assembly, Honourable Moses Sule, his deputy, and other principals of the House last week resigned, and Honourable Dewan Gabriel of the YPP was elected as the Speaker. The new Speaker, in turn, adjourned the sitting of the House indefinitely.

It was alleged that the change of guard in the House ahead of the Friday Judgment was to forestall the inauguration of the new members as there are wide spread insinuations that the new legislators might probe the financial activities of the Governor Muftwang-led administration in the past five months and possible impeachment before the Supreme Court judgment.

It was equally gathered that prior to the Friday Judgement, a returning member of the APC from the southern part of the state had been penciled down as the next speaker of the 24-member state Assembly.

Responding to the insinuation that the members have been giving the matching order to impeach the governor, the state publicity secretary of the APC, Mr Slyvanus Namang, said there was no brief to that effect, adding that it was concorted by the PDP to get the sympathy of the people of the state.

“We are law-abiding and believe in the rule of law and due process. It was concocted by the PDP to get the sympathy of the people.

There is no plan whatsoever in that regard,” he said.

On the new Speaker elected, Namang said it was a plan by the state government towards ensuring that the new members of the House are not sworn in, thus causing a constitutional crisis in the legislative arm of government.

According to him, to execute the ill-motivated script, as soon as the Speaker was sworn in on Tuesday, he immediately declared a 2-month recess until January 21st, 2024.

“This onslaught and legislative impunity have put paid to the speculations about the grand design by Governor Mutfwang to stall the inauguration and swearing in of the new members returned by the Court of Appeal, which is to be effected next week.”

Speaking with Sunday Tribune on the judgment and other previous ones against the PDP, the Director of Research and Documentation in the last APC administration, Professor John Wade, said the PDP deserves no sympathy for having shot itself in the foot.

He attributed the misfortune of the PDP to the arrogance of some elders of the party who believe that they hold the ace as far as the party in the state is concerned and, in their process, abandoned quality advice from some elder statesmen.

“They have shot themselves in the leg; they ignored quality advice. But unfortunately, they underestimated people, their silence, and even the law as it is. The Electoral Act today is not the same as it was five years ago, so the PDP didn’t see all these things, and again, in politics, being a game of intrigue, your detractors who also want power will sit down quitely watching you, even the mistakes you have made. That is what plays out in Kano.

“We have been watching them because, based on our research, we know that at the end of the day, the justice that we would get will be too tight for them to get any justice. To me, they shot themselves.

“And again, the lawmakers who have made their names like Beni Lar are unfortunately swept away by the wind. You cannot sympathize with them because if they were courageous enough, they should have told the leader of the party that giving the position of the party is not proper. Like Edward picated, today he stands vin-However, the State Commissioner of Information and Communications, Mr. Musa Ashoms, said it was appalling and disheartening that some people, especially the APC, claimed the PDP has no structure in the state.

Ashoms said the prevailing political situation in Plateau State was a temporary setback for the PDP and expressed optimism that the party would get victory at the Supreme Court.

“So it is quite disheartening that meddlesome interlopers will now be speaking with venom and anger because they want to just snatch our mandates at all costs, so it is disheartening that they are misinforming the general public. The reality on the ground is that the PDP has a solid structure on the Plateau, and His Excellency from Osun State was the chairman of the congresses that brought Chris Hassan into power,” he said.

You don't have to support everything just because it favours your party. What happened in okene and adavi particularly was an abuse of democracy. Too bad! It's condemnable!

Chicagograduate:
SDP won the election na.If you go through the accredited voters and the actual voters you will find out that there were padding of votes.

Caseless:
Can't we have a situation when the governor wins at supreme court, they can return, since they were sacked for similar case? It's unfair.

Indispensable85:
I would have been surprised if he didn't challenge that election. He has a very good case. He just needs to nullify okene and adavi results with evidence and he'll be governor. Simple!

The results from those two LGAs are not just possible. Very outrageous figures!
