Politics › Re: Sue Tinubu With Evidence That He Rigged; Petition On Drug Won't Fly- Reno Omokri by Misterone: 9:15am On Mar 23, 2023

*Peter Obi's Petition At The Election Tribunal Is Bereft Of Statutory Allegations:*

By: *Barrister Obol Okoi Obono-Obla*

I have read a copy of the Petition filed on 21 March 2023 by the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, Abuja.
In this write, I will only dwell on two issues raised in the Petition.

They are the alleged No-qualifications of the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Vice President's running mate Senator Kashim Shettima.

The petitioner (Peter Obi) alleged that the President-Elect is linked to drugs or narcotics.
I will quickly submit that linkage to drugs is not one of the disqualification criteria spelled out in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999 (as amended).

Before you can be barred from contesting you must have suffered a conviction that is related to dishonesty ten years before the election you want to contest.

In the case under reference it is alleged that the case took place in 1993 which is 20 years ago.
The election Asiwaju Bola Tinubu contested took place on 25 February 2023 more than 20 years after the event complained about.
Section 137 (e) of the 1999 constitution is a perfect answer to ground one of the Petition.

It provides as follows:
He has been convicted and sentenced for an offense involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of contravention of the Code of Conduct.
Assuming the offense in which the President-Elect amounts to a criminal conviction, ten years have elapsed.

If the conviction took place in 1993, this is almost 20 years.
The Constitution contemplates the conviction to have taken place ten years from the date of the election in which the candidate participated.
A forfeiture proceeding that doesn't end in the conviction of the defendant is not a conviction in the eye of the law.

I do not think that a forfeiture proceeding is a criminal proceeding contemplated by the Constitution.
A forfeiture proceeding is a non-conviction proceeding.

There are two types of forfeiture proceedings.
They are civil and criminal.

Civil forfeiture proceedings, for example, are directed against property (independent of any criminal proceeding) alleged to have been used in criminal activity.

In the American context, these procedures require only that the government shows probable cause that the property was implicated in criminal activity.

On the other hand, criminal forfeiture proceedings require that the defendant go through the full process of a criminal trial and suffer a conviction.
When the defendant suffers a conviction any property he has found to derive from the proceeds of a crime is seized from him and forfeited to the government.

The second ground on which Peter Obi's Petition is hinged is that the Vice President-Elect, Senator Kashim Shettima filed a double nomination (Vice Presidential and senatorial).
Assuming Shettima indulged in double nomination it cannot be a ground for an election petition. The electoral act did not say that any candidate that indulges in double nomination is liable to disqualification.

It only prescribes a term of imprisonment if the person is found guilty.
That means the person has to go through an investigation, prosecution, and conviction.

This cannot be done through an election petition.
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear and determine this part of the Petition.

Lastly, the Petitioner alleges that the Election held on 25 February 2023 was marred by corrupt practices and was not conducted in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act,2022.

An answer to this issue is provided in section 138 of the Electoral Act which provides that the Tribunal cannot nullify an election if it found that it was conducted in substantial compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

I think the Petition is blustery and vexatious.
I do not see Peter Obi winning this case based on the facts presented in his petition and the state of the Law.

No, it is good to investigate a crime but why arresting when the fact of cyber stalking has not yet established. From the police report they arrested him on a mere claim without court order or warrant. The police arrested this boy on Saturday and it has been more than three days, our constitution says 48 hours. Look out how law enforcement agency is flaunting the law of the land while still investigating to see if someone broke the law.

Obi did this severally when he was governor of Anambra state. There was a guy he destroyed his hotel without warrant or even investigation by the police. What of those James nwafor (Obi's man Friday) killed and dumped their carcass in the River. It is not only when it affects Obi that you guys will shout.

No! No!! No!!! When you accuse someone of criminality, you have to involve the Nigerian police cause it is the only institution recognised by the constitution to carry out criminal investigation. Any other thing is hearsay. It is the Nigerian police that will invite whoever not Obi.

Ozuo! We dey wait your DEA from America, Mumu! The US DEA does not have jurisdiction in Nigeria, therefore cannot present any official document in court. Obi and his lawyers are Mumu! Election cases are civil cases. When you attach a criminal conspiracy to an election case, it is throw out because you cannot prove it beyond reasonable doubt and the tribunal is not created for such cases. Obi don lule pie
PS
The Nigerian police is the agency recognised by the constitution to prosecute all criminal cases. Therefore, if Obi and his foolish lawyer are to present any incriminating document against Tinubu, that document has to be investigated by the police Before it can be tendered in court. Take note, IT IS THE POLICE THAT PROSECUTE CRIMINAL CASES IN NIGERIA NOT INDIVIDUALS OR POLITICAL PARTIES

This has nothing to do with your CORRUPT NIGERIAN POLICE EVIL GENIUS FORCE.
Any evidence can be obtained without your legally-jaundiced IDOWU the criminal.
Obi is going to eliminate ALL NIGERIAN FACTORS for his case. . . because we ALL know NIGERIAN MATTERS ARE IN THE DEEP POCKETS OF APC AND THEIR DRUG-BARONIC PATRON.
We don't want 'tipexed' reports please.

When such evidence is tendered. . .give it to IDOWU THE CRIMINAL to manipulate and give TO AGORRIOLA'S SUPREME COURT.
The ONLY thing OBI is getting from Nigeria are the original collated results from the polling units.
The DAFT MADMOOD was dense enough to supply the 'cooked-up' result as evidence to OBI's team.

Who wants evidence from the shitty Nigerian Police Force?
You must think Obi is as daft as Tiefnubu?

You are riduculous.

small pikin no get sense grin

. Okay now, go and present it to the tribunal na! For your information, presenting such an evidence in court would mean you are accusing the respondent of criminality. The FG and it's agencies are the only ones that can prosecute a criminal case in Nigeria. Obi cannot present any incriminating evidence in court without the Nigerian police vetting that document. It will be thrown out like a piece of tissue paper.

Politics › Re: FCT 25% Requirement: Olisa Agbakoba Saw This Coming by Misterone: 4:55pm On Mar 22, 2023

SmartPolician:
That FCT 25% NONSENSE sounds absurd to me. FCT is often separated from the 36 states because it's a territory, not a state (they cannot call it 37 states). However, as far as the election is concerned, FCT is like every other state in the country.

BTW, if Peter Obi is hoping to use that as basis to upturn Tinubu's sham victory, then I am afraid he has no case against the Druggie because it won't work.

you just nailed it with Thor's hammer. FCT is a territory carved out from different state therefore you cannot allocate a 25% requirement on it as it would be a dublication. The thinking of the constitution is that you can use the FCT as a state if you lack the ⅔ requirement. It is in the reading of the statement that misinterpretation comes in. It should be read ⅔ in the 36 states (and the FCT) which means that the FCT is optional. The word and the FCT means the FCT is secondary, and not necessary but can aid in achieving the required result.
PS
Just like when Lagos state was the capital, then we had Ikeja as the seat of Lagos state government and Lagos Island as the seat of FG. Therefore can we then say one would have required 25% in Lagos as a state and another 25% in Lagos Island which was a federal Territory then? That would be absurd.

Children everywhere! The DEA cannot give evidence in a Nigerian court, they are not qualified to do so. It is the Nigerian police that have that duty. The Nigerian police will write to the DEA requesting for information about the case. It is this information that is presented to the court by the Nigerian police. The police has already done that so this is a waste of time.

Stolen mandate with what figure.

Isn't it mockery for Peter Obi to be claiming of winning without telling us how, not even figure. How did he make the 25% in 24 states?

the petition has failed before arrival. He was suppose to prove how he won in his petition. That was why they were given time to inspect the election materials so as to correlate their figures. He did nothing of such. His petition should have said he won the election in so..so states with so...so amount of votes. Then the case would have been to confirm if that was true, but now, Obi is chasing at shadows. Leaving the petition at the mercy of the court, not knowing that the court is not a father Xmas

You will see it as simple until you start solving.

All comments above are from people with zero legal experience. Bunch of market men and women with zero tolerance to learning.
The court is all about logic. Start from the foundation.

Build up.

The accused will have to defend so as long as they can while leaving loopholes.

At the end they would have shot themselves many times in the leg.

keep deceiving yourself. In election cases, you front load the evidence. No new evidence is entertained once the trial begins.
