Werey? The persons that fit that equation are you and your Chicago heroin-drug baron fugitive principal who forfeited $460, 000 proceeds of illicit drug running and you who is attempting to threaten the US President to congratulate an electoral mandate criminal.

That case on its own is a very big one, this might even go as far as going to call the Anthony that persecute Tinubu in the United States to come testify on the issue.

The constitution is very clear...

There must be a scape goat, brother. Nigeria is not a banana republic where anything goes.

Look at Rufa Osen!, the guy started the Anti-Nigeria campaign using Ar!seTV. There wasnt any repercussion for his treasonable actions, instead the guy was trending. Other Journalists from different stations and radio channel are now following the path too now, they also want to trend. They now insult, malign, propagate hate against Nigeria at any given opportunity on air.

Sahararepoter, peoplesgazete and others are jumping on that trend too. They have insulted, maligned Tinubu, the president elect to next-to-nothing. Since people are getting used to it. They arent done yet, they are now moving unto the CJN, a whole CJN, the effrontery.

The CJN is Tinubu's nominee

Brendaniel:
I have tried as much as possible to avoid debating on this issue, but sometimes one needs to look at some issues from the simplest forms to solve some problems, so firstly we will need to define the meaning of a state.

According to Oxford dictionary a state is a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.

Now let's talk about Nigeria, Nigeria has 36 states and the FCT, Note that when they teach you in school or write the states and capitals in Nigeria, FCT is the only one without a capital, they just write FCT, the reason is because it is not a state but a capital, it is the capital of Nigeria.

Let's go back to the definition of a state, Nigeria itself is a state and its capital is Abuja(FCT), it is like Lagos and Ikeja, Lagos is a state and Ikeja is its capital.

Now let's go back to the constitution that requires INEC to declare a candidate winner of the presidential election and it states:

The Constitution in stipulating the requirements for election as Nigerian president states in Section 134(2) that a candidate must (a) have the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.

So here you have it, have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.


The reason those who wrote the constitution had to still write FCT, Abuja is because they knew it was not a state and so did not count Abuja as a state but a capital, if not they would have stopped the statement at "have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation".

But they had to stress FCT,Abuja in it to make sure that whoever will interpret the law will know that Abuja was not considered a state when they were referring to "states".


So in essence Abuja is not a state and has never been considered a state constitutionally, it is the capital of Nigeria, it is like what Ikeja is to Lagos, that is why there is no document that uses the statement like Abuja state or state or Abuja like you have Osun state or state of Osun, all you see is Federal capital Territory(Abuja).

So INEC did not follow the constitution

Inec would claim that they are not court to do the interpretation of the law, in other words, they went ahead and announce the winner.

The Current CJN is an appointee of Mr Tinubu, i.e was norminated by the Inec PRESIDENT

Ode ni e. When u know u needed a young leader, we're u blind to see Sowore's name on d ballot paper. Tribal makes u voted Obi. Don't worry by d time they swear in Tinubu. U will start again with your Biafra agitation.

How can you allow a 90yrs old to rule over you, are you crazy or what?

muykem:
Rufia always have problem with people against his political ideology in their show. We have seen several veteran journalists in Nigeria but none of them is rude, insultive and dangerously biased like Rufia.

To me it's not the best way as a journalist

BIZNess123:


The greatest mistake tinubu wud have made is making this man his vice....



Once tinubu is done flogging obi in court I wud consider get a copy of obi's petitions give it to malams to wrap suya for me...

What if it turns out the other way round?


I guess Tinubu's Certificate of return would do the needful.

Nigeria at the moment needs a young and dynamic leader that can take the bull by the horns, and a Tinubu can not do that, he is just going to be there as figure head, and most of the jobs would be deligated to El rufia, Dele Alake, Wale, Sheye, etc and we go back to square one.

The man must be rolling on the floor in his chamber right now. Laughing so hard at the med!ocre petition filed by Labour party.

If you know wole Olanipekun so well, you will know the court will be done within hours barring any ceremonial adjournment just to make the sitting look atleast a little bit solid.

Chief Olanipekun, SAN, OFR, CFR that made A!T of partisan Raymond Dopkes! ' crawled on the floor and begged for their life' when Tinubu through Wole Olanipekun slammed a 150Billion naira lawsuit against them for defamation in 2016. When was the last time you saw A!T, a pro-PDP media house ran any anti-Tinubu campaign on their station during this electioneering period? They were quiet all through the campaign period, unlike before; Olanipekun put them in their place.

I wont be surprise if after this case is done and dusted, Tinubu will also drag Labour party to court for CHARACTER ASSASINATION & DEFAMATION. dem go slam 300billion lawsuit against Labour party

Ar!seTV too should be prepared, let the dust settle first. E go reach everybody, dem go learn by force

This time it's no longer business as usual, the prayers of the Lp are weightier, than the way it used to be, now you have some issues raised as per outside our jusridition, and I can beat you Mr Wole would have his hands full this time around.

If the case is very well spelt out and clear, he does not take a decision by its self, other justices would be there to take a stand.

US embass, an embassy of b!afraud right?

If US embassy criticise the just concluded election. You guys will attribute it to the US. But since it cleared Tinubu of all charges; all the baseless concocted charges of your fraudulent party. You are now saying it is a separate entity from the Country that deployed it. Very funny people.

You are not getting it, in elections matter the embassy staffs and all were on ground, to witness what was going on, thugy, ballot box snatching, intermidation of voters etc, but on this senerio, the case happened in the United States of America, and the court of law is over there, and it involves legal matters, you can not compare both outcome to be same, either the state of Chicago or the mayor should have cleared the air, not some mere embassy in Nigeria.

lhordspy:
This is a copy of letter by the US consulate on 4th Feb. 2003 to then Inspector general of Police, Tafa Balogun stating that there was nothing in the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicating that Tinubu (who was Governor of Lagos state as at then ) had, at any time in the past, been arrested or wanted for crime in the US. The letter signed by the Legal Attache in the Consulate, Michael H. Bonner.

The news was reported here back in 2003.:
https://allafrica.com/stories/200302110527.html

That is a mere letter for the US embassy in Nigeria, the one from the state where Mr Tinubu was residing when the case came up, would have been a lot better. Example Chicago illions.

Dreal1247:
Which money is he using for the court case currently going on? We need explanation .

No need for explanation. We have millions of Nigerians who are willing to give out their widow's mite to see Obi triumph. Also the legal practitioners who see a better future for Nigeria in Obi are willing to render the service for the betterment of Nigeria.

OBI IS A SYMBOL OF HOPE FOR BETTER NIGERIA.

You might be surprise that he is not paying a dine, he did that during the governorship petition where he won the case and also when he was removed from office by the house of assembly

Spiritmask:
Then, there was no law for it, but the new election act forbid such

Really, I need to go and check the new electoral act then

FreedomArmy:
This man knows exactly what he is doing by bringing up the court case as part of his petition against emilocan.

This is to attract international attention and keep the supreme court judges on their toes. There is no abarakadabra this time around. The law must be interpreted to the letter.

Tinubu involvement in drug trafficking making him to forfeit over 10million dollars in today's valuation of dollars is a big indictment and therefore renders him ineligible to contest for the office of the president.

If you think obi does not have a concrete evidence as regards this drug case then you must be a fool. For a man like obi to bring this thing on then due diligence must have been done by his team of lawyers and investigators

AHSWEAR emilocan will be shitting his pants right now

Interesting days ahead. The stolen mandate must be returned

Tinubu on his own part is very intelligent from the answering from his handlers so far so good, they have been able to defend him to a reasonable extend, example they claim it was one Tinubu's cousin name Akunde in the US that was using his account at as that time, and him Tinubu was working in Mobile oil producing in US, and lots of technicalities.

SpecialAdviser:
I remembered the outcome of 2003 election when Chuba Okadigbo was a running mate to Buhari. After Obasanjo rigging, Buhari had approached the court to annule Obasanjo election.

Chuba Okadigbo was the brainer in that litigation with enough evidence to overturn the election. He assembled many SANs and he and Buhari were confident on success in the court. Obasanjo got intel of Chuba Okadigbo's role in the whole process. Chuba was to have a rally with Buhari in Kano in celebrative mood when Obasanjo arranged a killer to snipe off his life.

Chuba died. The case died and that was it. If Obi is not careful Tinubu will do everything to take his life. He should stop all manner of rallies. Avoid large assembly gathering. Avoid some companions and lay low.

His case against Tinubu are just so STRONG. I have read them.

Some conspiracy theories I guess

julaion:
LAY MAN BREAKDOWN OF OBI CASE AGAINST TINUBU AND INEC.

1 Obi say Tinubu “was fined $460,000 for an offence involving dishonesty, namely narcotics trafficking imposed by the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in case no:93C 4483″ between the United States of America and Bola Tinubu. Meaning Tinubu was an alleged DRUG BARON. Anybody wey don pay fine to any govt for drug business no suppose contest for any election for Nigeria .( I go explain this more in my bullet) .

2.Obi say Tinubu no suppose to appoint Shettima as Vice because at the time wey he appointed Shettima , say the guy was still senator contesting for Borno and also at the same time contesting for Vice President. It was against the electoral act. Yet, INEC approve am . He submit evidence to prove am. So therefore Tinubu elections is void.

3. Obi say , them say for the electoral act dem go use BVAS upload and submit result , dem no do am . So therefore the election should be canceled.

4.Obi say the electoral act say to be declared President you must win at least two third of all state and and Abuja but say he no win am and even in Abuja he no score the 25% so no be for am.

5. Obi say the forensic evidence wey he get show say votes wey INEC record many pass the accreditation wey the Obi forensic do and that they have the evidence to prove it on so many states and if na so, the electoral law say the whole election would be canceled.

6. And say votes wey dem count for Tinubu for Rivers, Lagos,Taraba, Benue,Adamawa, Imo, Bauchi, Borno , Kaduna, Plateau, and other states of the Federation na Obi votes them give Tinubu and their forensic prove am.

7.Say INEC violate their own law by announcing Tinubu as President when them never upload result finish for their Portal. So it has to be canceled.

8. Obi say the law wey set up INEC say if Pooling agent see any wahala and report am , INEC suppose stop the election or cancel am until they address the issue of agents. But say dem no do am even as many polling agents and LP agent raised alarm of politicians forcing them to write fake results. Say he get plenty evidence to show.

Prayer number two, if you can draw your mind back, during the days of Goodluck Jonathan and Later President Musa Yaradua, same senerio played out, when Goodluck Jonathan Was still contesting for the post of a governor in the then Bayelsa state, and nothing happened.

Workch:
Well, there was a "fine" to forfeit $460k. So why did he forfeit it?

I think the reason for the forfeiture is as a result of him not paying taxes.....

Workch:
I suspect that too however, the second part says any court. It didn't specify whether it should be a court in Nigeria

That's true, but the United States, where the supposed issue occurred, have come out to say a bargaining between both parties occurred and a forfeiture was made by one party to the other, it looks complicated though.

The APC might have a case here, they might claim the case never took place under our jusridition and pray the court to strick out the prayers of the Lp

Racoon:
Even the ever forthright and uncompromising retired INEC REC-Mike Igini told them but they don't want to hear.

The problem with INEC is that they don't listen, two highly respected legal personality in the country Mike and Olisa had told them ahead of time about the 25% issue but they kept mute, now the matter is before the court, less see how they would go about this.

Dentidon:
I hope Peter Obi get sued likewise for such libel

For what, I would represent him for free........................................

Obi has a good case presented to the court, especially on the 25%............................

Scam alert

She will not have that strength, the only way she can win an election in Nigeria is for her to join the ruleing party, but on the opposition like Obi did, she can not.
