Is it just a casual appendage or a position with actual spelt out duties?

Ceremonial

BoldBrainz:
There's a Mayor of Port Harcourt? I've never heard this one before. What's his/her name?

Even calabar get mayor na.the chair of Cali municipality

slivertongue:
maybe as a supervisor or some quasi role. LGAs are accountable to the law so also the governor. the governor must operate within the law

Mayor is ceremonial.but in calabar and ph,the mayor is the chairman of one of the city lgas

slivertongue:
I asked because Aba has two LGAs and the law knows LGA chair not Mayor

Even pH with multiple lgas and calabar has one mayors

Falana was Tinubu's counsel on this same Certificate issues when it came up in 1999.

Falana stood in for Tinubu against Fawehinmi (whom Keyamo worked for at the time). For him to speak now, will be double-speak.

So he has vested interests for or against and will not speak about it.

On the forgery issue, the SC cannot accept new evidence that didn't translate from the lower Court. The lawyers themselves know, the main issues will arise in 2027, not this one.

I heard Elisha abbo lost

Go down and check completely!

Though, it's tight for the PDP. I saw something that is very very crucial for APC on appeal.

Which is?

Too many loopholes.it should be easier than the Kano own

fergie001:
Go down and check completely!

My bad
1) the court heavily relied on irev copies when manual copies were available
2) the court relied heavily on the outdated okonji vs oshoma and abubakar vs kurdula appeal court judgment
3) the court erroneously stated that the evidence act overrides the electoral act
4) the court discountenanced respondents witnesses and report of EC40G
5) the court failed to ascertain the validity of the so called agents as prescribed the the electoral act.
6) the court agreed that the elections was not conducted in substantial compliance yet declared a winner
7) the court determined overvoting without voters register

Majority Judgement: Ombugadu v Sule

Still incomplete

saintkel:
Sule is gone....believe dis....except Tinubu n Supreme court's repeats what they did in Imo

Oga,sule is winning at appeal.go and see the minority judgement

BoldBrainz:
And while Gershom Bassey was the chairman of the CRS water board agency, what proper improvements or progress were made for the period he held sway? That it has been happening doesn't make it right. It is an anomaly amongst Nigerian circles that needs to be holistically addressed.

True.i just wanted you to know that it is a norm here not started by Tinubu...under gershom and etowa,waterboard was doing fine...tinubu has tried here by appointing an engineer,a youthful one unlike the oldies we usually has.tinubu has appointed more young people than any other govt

mrvitalis:
What did obi achieve?

You don't even know what achievement is even if it stares you in the face


Obi was best performing governor in terms of SDGs and you ask what he achieved

Anambra has the best public health sector and education sector in Nigeria and you ask what he achieved?

Lmaooo

Obi was never among the top 10 govs.obi failed woefully in human devt,workers welfare,revenue generation,local govt admin,revenue generation,employment,human relations,security.

Anambra does not have the best health sector sir except you mean in private sector but not govt.my state,rivers,aks has better health sector than anambra.obibtried in education I must admit but nothing else

mrvitalis:
Firstly Obi has shown by his interviews he understands economics and the fundamental problem with Nigeria

Tinubu can't even grant a 45 mind live interview

Tinubu team world class? Lmaooo

Who in tinubu team has a better CV that Oby ezekwesili I dare you to name one

What did oby achieve? Oby cannot even be classified as an obi ally or product.how many people have obi produced apart from obiano the drunk? The world bank just gave wale edun an appointment?
Oga,economics is beyond theory and mere talk.most of those that talk too much are empty.real men talk little and do more.what did obi achieve in anambra apart from attracting firms that he has shares in and the teaching hospital? Obi is an average fellow sir

TrumpDonald2:
Keep contradicting yourself. It's never easy to defend the the criminal. You can ask Keyamo.

Take your evidence to the supreme court along with an advance fine

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo Tinubu and his team have zero idea what to do

All there ideas were exhausted in the first two weeks and it failed woefully

Now they are doing try and erro

Oga,give them one year.tinubu is 100% better than obi.but what a foolish statement one can make.tinubu and his world class team doesn't know what to do but obi and average people like obaze knows? What hatred cannot do

BoldBrainz:
This is not about complaints. A mechanical engineer has no business chairing FERMA, which should be the sole prerogative of a civil engineer. Whether he's a youth or a ceremonial head counts for shit. As the chairman, he is supposed to be the voice of authority in that agency and his inputs have to stem from academic knowledge or the technical know-how.

I am 90 percent certain this appointment is a gift of gratitude to someone and not because Tinubu found merit in the young man. Do you know the litany of overly experienced and qualified Civil Engineers we have in Nigeria duly certified by COREN?!

Let's stop celebrating anomalies!

The chairman of a board is usually a politician.the real head is the executive secretary, CEO or md.you grab? The m.d is a civil engineer...it is just like water board in CRS.sen gershom bassey was chairman for many years with no engineering or science background while elemi etowa was an engineer and the real head.

fergie001:
Nothing was enacted to affect Sylva.

He was never a Deputy-Governor. The enactment affected GEJ because he was a Vice President and helped complete Yar'Adua's tenure, not Sylva.

Sylva was elected Governor in 2007 and he personally went to Court so as to spend 5 years in Jan 2011. So the question is: IF, a big IF he wins on November 11, he will spend 9 years, is it Constitutionally allowed?

That's what the Court addressed.

Unless that, a panel of 5 will sit on it.

I am still waiting for the nasarawa stuff

Kukutente23:
Oh so judges can now see illegal agents. But they didn't see that in Kano when the agents said they are not polling agents
You don't need oral evidence as previously required so the deposition is no longer a requirement.
Na the oluwole judge know wetin him dey talk. Overvoting was proven using bvas machine and bvas report in all affected polling units

According to the minority judgement, overvoting was proven in only one unit.go to my thread for a complete calculus.pdp failed to tender voters register as required by the apex court.they tendered bvas without demonstrating it.it is settled law that when documents are tendered,only the maker is competent to testify with it.pdp failed to call the makers.the witnesses pdp tendered are ineligible via the EA2022.
Finally,pdp tendered two sets of results.it is settled that when such happens,all will be set aside and the status quo maintained.

I already told you that apc may lose Kano but they are winning this 200%

Kukutente23:
You wish. The minority judgement simply overlooked all the evidences placed before the tribunal.
No way that will fly at appeal

No sir.before you look at evidences,you must follow some procedures which wasn't followed.
1) the agents paraded by pdp were illegal agents
2) the agents had no witness deposition as required by law.
3) he brought documents without speaking live into them
4) he failed to prove overvoting except in only one unit

Evergreen4:
He has been dismissed by court until a higher court reinstates him

Yes,he will get a stay of execution

Kyase:
Tinubu was sabotaged in Osun, nassarawa and lagos

Kebbi will always vote a northerner
Katistna too
Yobe and Gombe are atikus region, what do you expect
I told you before the election, that kaduna is a doubt, if obi was not on the ballot, the beating Tinubu for get their for loud

Kebbi is liberal.if zamfara and jigawa can vote tinubu,why not kebbi? Sokoto even did well.tinubu almost won katsina.
Kanuris dominate yobe like borno so they should be going with shettima..
I don't think he was sabotaged in osun,tinubu even did better than oyetola.i feel the aregbe faction didn't do anything and aregbe was aggrieved so it's not betrayal.
For Lagos,some yorubas simply voted against tinubu which gave obi the edge

fergie001:
What are the next events?

Sylva's was different from Geidam's. He was never a Deputy-Governor.

Does this set of new events say an elected Governor should stay in office more than 8 years?

These are the questions......

Exactly.the law is intended for those that never tested office as at enactment.sylva and gej should escape it

Kukutente23:
Another dumbo. Is there any state whose vat is not shared with other states? Or what was the point of the case instituted by Rivers against fg in 2021?
If Abuja is a state as the op is claiming, why do the civil service be nationalistic?.

Dumb statement typical of dumbidients.
Ombugadu will lose at appeal

Kyase:
Political oga is Adamu, working and helping Dangote buy a village in Nassarawa doesn't make Dangote his oga

Mouth loyalty, adamu and Sule worked against Tinubu

I don't think so.if they did,atiku for win tinubu in nasarawa.cant you see how apc failed in the nass polls and how he struggled in the guber? Where I think they sabotaged tinubu is kebbi,katsina,yobe,gombe,kaduna

Cc kukutente, kukutenla

Kukutente23:
This is a good point you raised.
Will the new Abuja civil service give priority to indigenes of Abuja like other states civil service or it will have a federal outlook like other federal parastatal ?

It will obviously be nationalistic but with northerners having an edge and Abuja indigenes getting special quota.by the way,vat from Abuja is shared with other states...

You haven't commented on the minority judgment of the nasarawa tribunal

Kyase:
Sule and his oga Adamu worked against BAT, so I don't pity him at all, loyalty is something you shouldn't joke with in this world

His oga is dangote.by the way,he would win at appeal.after osibanjo lost,he pledged loyalty to tinubu

vivalavida:
It is fake because the signatories on that certificate were not currently employed in csu when that oluwole certificate was forged.

That still does not make it fake as far as it was done off-site.the registrar never called it fake,he said it was consistent with similar certificates they have

LegallyBlunt:
That's different to actually awarding diplomas to those who rightfully earned it.

They can't tell whether they awarded it to tinubu or not.so case closed

fergie001:
The Supreme Court said his tenure began from May 29, 2007.

On this matter, hear the Supreme Court...... per Onnoghen JSC (as he then was) who took the leading judgement

"It is settled law that the time fixed by the constitution for the doing of anything cannot be extended. It is immutable, fixed like the rock of Gibraltar. It cannot be extended, elongated, expanded, or stretched beyond what it states. To calculate the tenure of office of the governors from the date of their second Oaths of Allegiance and of Office while ignoring the period from 29th May, 2007, when they took the first oaths is to extend the four years tenure constitutionally granted the governors to occupy and act in that office which would be unconstitutional. It is therefore clear and I hereby hold that the second Oaths of Allegiance and of Office taken in 2008, though necessary to enable them continue to function in that office, were clearly superfluous in the determination of the four years tenure under Section 180(2) of the 1999 Constitution."

Judgement was delivered on January 27, 2012.

Yes,I believe this will be overtaken by new events.the intendment of that amendment was to prevent the geidam scenario

TrumpDonald2:
The status quo is that the certificate presented to INEC by your thief is not from CSU. There's no speculation on that.

No sir.the registrar implied that it is likely from third parties.he didn't say it is not from them.he didn't say it was fake
