This case is not about governance but about the following: was bello validly elected- no because he was not qualified to contest in the first place, also he did not have a deputy and lastly APC did not score the highest number of valid votes in the election. Even if it were about governance, he would have lost woefully. We have never had it so bad in kogi. Yahaya bello is just a fraud

obge:
this case can make or mar democracy in this country. Imagine a scenario where a party fields a popular candidate just to win an election and just before the results are announced, the candidate is taken out so that the party can install a puppet candidate becoming the norm in Nigeria. If the tribunal rules for bello that is exactly what will start happening. there will also be no need for by elections in the case of death of a person holding an elective position e.g senator etc, the party can just choose anybody to replace the person.
Also it will also mean that anybody can contest election anywhere. So basically Governor of Katsina can be from Bayelsa etc because it will abolish the voters card requirement for election. so a rich godfather somewhere in Abuja can annoint 36 of his boys to contest for governor round the country regardless of wheteher they are registered voters or not.
another implication of a judgement for bello is that it can abolish the requirement to go into election with a deputy. As long as a candidate has the cooperation of INEC, he can run for election without a deputy and even govern without a deputy.
simply put- a judgement for bello is an invitation for anarchy not just in Kogi but in the whole of Nigeria. I pray the supreme court sorts this matter out ( i seriously doubt that the tribunal judge will have the guts to give a judgement that will go against bello because that will mean going against the power that be). lastly a judgement in bello will mean 8 more years of the cultism, impunity , insecurity and harassment that are fast becoming hallmarks of his administration.

Their action is totally condemnable, meanwhile the manner our ladies dress nowadays, seriously we're going back to the days of Adam nd Eve...

Seriously dude? You have nothing to say better than this. When you have daughters clothe them in wrappers from head to toe, you may even use head covers for them, so they won't be molested. Myopic fellow.

Elxandre:
Gosh!
How do I even address your nonsensical mentality?

We are talking common sense you are talking about who God has chosen.
How do you even know what type of person he is?
So you are a slave to APC, to the extent that you would accept any choice imposed on you.
Shame!

What is hypocritical about my question by the way?
I'm guessing you don't even know the meaning of hyporisy.

Capt. Idris Wada stand the strongest chance of coming back to Gidan Lugard. I still have high hope for Falake.

Elxandre:
Answer this sincerely.

Would you have being happy to see PMB votes transferred to Saraki or anyone else you dont really like in APC?

Correct it to what it ought. Lol.
Inbred pompous swine.

Our attention has been brought to the purported propaganda going around as regards today's hearing at the tribunal where the Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor stood on witness box as a witness to the first respondent.

The petitioner's (Faleke) lawyer had asked the CoS on the scores of his principal in Dec.5th suplimentary to which he replied
"Party names and logo is what we have on the ballot"

People who do not understand the logic behind his intelligent response said he failed to answer correctly.

The stand of GYB is that, both Late Audu vote and the suplimentary election result belong to party and it is the choice of the party to determined who replace late Audu.

If only he answered as expected by the petitioner's lawyers, it means his principal cant win with his scores in supplementary election alone.

So his response mean his principal represent APC and both the main and supplimentary election result belongs to the party.

In a nutshell, Faleke's case was dead on arrival.

Anyway lest I forget, the people's Governor just arrived the country from Equatorial Guinea with President Buhari. AYB ti tek ova

Adaure4ever:
Impossible, Bello is kogi state governor backed up by the law if you review the act of electoral reform decree under the 1999 constitution.
Not getting his Pvc transfer is the fault of Inec but as long his Pvc detailed has been registered online at ince database, there is no cause for alarm.

What do u expect Wen majority of dem are illiterates with fufu-stuffed bellies

Women are in trouble. Instead of dem to get serious abt what they need as a gender most of dem are busy tryna be runs girls, waist-training, learning how to do unrealistic makeups, chasing horsebands sideboos or tryna be a sidechick or babymama. How many of dem knew dt d bill was to be passed today noone!

Nobody can fight for you except God or you yourself! Sadly women have lost sight of things.

MODIFIED: after reading comments on this thread I'll say ladies shudnt waste their breath on the men; coz we failed on this one. How long are we gonna keep blaming the men, the likes of Remi, Stella, Abike and co are extremely useless and foolish. Have never met people dt slow before. You mean they cudnt rally women and support d bill, all they knw is how to embezzle money and all. How are the men gonna take us seriously if we don't put more effort on it. Educate every man in ur life concerning d bill coz am sure none of d myopic males commenting didn't read what d bill is all abt. They're just blabbing abt a woman nt collecting their money. How much una get sef for dis forum

Women need to do regroup, re-strategize and also kick dose useless women in d senate out! My 2kobo

"Perpetuation of evil
Any religion that permits sleeping with under aged children is not a religion after God's heart
I hate religion with passion because it is bondage
Jesus didn't come to start another religion, he came to start relationship with God

How can you see a 13 year old and your stick is jumping up and down?...You are crazy....You are mad...If there is any punishment that is standard....that is in Sharia....the real Sharia is to cut off that stick.....After all you cut off the man who has stolen...Cut off because he has stolen the childhood of another person...By the time you begin to cut off their stick....Every other person will learn....And they wouldn't do it to their own daughters....Perversion of the highest order...Sleeping with under age and saying that your religion doesn't forbid it...Well the human culture abhors it"

I doubt most of those who commented didn't watch the video
Above is a rough translation of it
People DEFINITELY have a COMPREHENSION problem
He was simply alluding to hypocrisy of Yinusa Yellow's religion
A religion that permits permits you to steal another person's childhood but cuts off your hand for physical stealing
That according to their Sharia, Yinusa's diiiiccck should be cut off
Why is that so hard to understand?

truly:
Sharia does not prescribe castration or cutting off a man's manhood
People need to get educated

Phlegmwash:
The point of law is that Ese is minor and therefore absolved of all wrongdoing or responsibility here. If a minor drinks alcohol in your home in the US without your knowledge, you'll still go to jail. Or if you inadvertently sleep with a minor that looks like 30 yr old and initiated the whole thing, you'll be charged with endangering a minor and registered as a sex offender.

So there my friend thats how it is, get enlightened. And to claim ignorance of all of these is not a line of defense the judge will accept.

from the comments I have read so far,all I can say is religion is the bane of this country, we have lost our ability to be rational in the quest to make our religion look good and even make up excuses for evil, we have allowed our conscience to be obstructed, were are divided along two sides,Ese's case had external people,it even involved conversion to another religion, this one the other hand does not have the support of and traditional or religious body,he was even convicted without intervention from any external body,even though the punishment was not enough for which we have the law to blame for that, the similar case I witnessed some years back,the man wasn't even a Christian,we have allowed ourselves to be divided along two sides instead of looking at cases in a rational way,no wonder we allow our leaders to capitalise on our division amongst our selves, one Nigeria on paper, if we can do this online behind faceless monikers,I wonder whay we will do in the real world,no wonder the mile 2 case could easily go out of hand,smh,tribal and religious sentiments are the bane of this country,crime has become excusable on tribal and religious sentiments.we are probably the most religious people on earth yet,and yet the most hypocritical, not only are we so divide we are also willing to go any length just to save the face of our religion,shm!

Now the world has really taken leave of its senses.

Another reason why the husband and wife should try to stick together for the proper upbringing of their children; this is the upteemth time I have read of a father molesting their daughther because both parents are separated and living apart.
