The baby is healthy and alive. Thank God the mum didn't dump the baby in a canal.

I therefore call on all concerned, the demonstrators and the leaders of the different strata of government to identify the problems, determine the solutions, and turn the stumbling blocks into genuine building blocks for real nation building.
Ibori pointed out that many other countries including Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain, have sections agitating for various kinds of autonomy

PassingShot:
PDP can actually lose the two states. No two legal battles are EXACTLY the same. Each case has it's own peculiarities and wining a case is largely dependent on how the lawyers are able to argue their case CONVINCINGLY.

So, what will determine the two cases (Benue and Taraba) goes beyond writing artlicles on Nairaland or PDP/Metuh writing press releases to blackmail the judiciary. If such tactics would work, [size=13pt]Taraba's tribunal would not have favoured Mama Taraba given that PDP had shouted of cladenstine plots before that judgement.[/size]
So, COOL DOWN!

tbaba1234:
Hmmm, How come APC was able to conduct their primaries then?

texazzpete:
Your post history says a lot about you. If this is the level of opposition you're talking about , Nigeria is well rid of the nonsense.

Abeg show me anywhere you condemned 'one party state' in the last few years when PDP were running things.

Rexnegro:
it's a diff case bro...tribunal can be anywhere in d world to give judgement, haven't u heard of mobile court? ...but party primary can't leave it's state....the constitution says so...

AnanseK:
And yet the election held in Taraba?

The tribunal said the defence by the PDP that the primaries were shifted to Abuja because of security challenges in the state was rejected by the tribunal.

PDP National Youth Leader, Hon. Abdullahi MaiBasira said in a statement on Saturday that President Buhari and his party should be held to account for the escalation of the agitation, which threatens the unity and national security interests of Nigeria as an indivisible entity.

The budget is twice last year’s, which was N4.4 trillion
It is unknown how the federal government plans to fund the budget in an economy going downward due to the sharp fall in crude prices, as oil exports account for 70 percent of government revenue.

Alphaoscar:
its better you let whatever you inhale clear from your system before coming to the public forum to disgrace yourself. You have been spreading junks all over the politics section since the delivery of this judgement which is very unfortunate. below is the official figure of the Taraba guber election. The same way mizmycoli claimed the people of the hate the strong woman of Tataba when in the actually fact it took the evil machinations of Gen. Danjuma to enable the PDP candidate been declared as the winner of the poll. You guys should always get your facts right abeg.

The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) has declared the
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Darius Ishaku winner of the Taraba
governorship election.
Mr Ishaku polled 369,318 votes to beat his
closest opponent and candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Sen Aisha
Alhassan, who polled 275,984 votes.
There were reports of sporadic shooting at
one of the collation centres in Takum
Local Government Area of the State, when
the supplementary elections were held on
Saturday.
No number of casualties have been
reported.
Channels Television’s correspondent, Yemi
Kosoko, said the gunshots were heard
after elections have been held.
“News just filtered in that there is a
problem in collation centre in Takum where
the results of elections held in the local
council were being collated. There was
sporadic shooting at the collation centre.
“Apart from that, there are no other
incidents reported so far,” he said.
The supplementary election held in three
registration areas in the local council,
where the April 11 elections were declared
inconclusive .
The Taraba State Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC), Mr Ahmed Makamma
had confirmed that a run off will be
holding in the governorship election in the
north eastern state after the April 11
elections were declared inconclusive.
Speaking via a telephone interview on
Channels Television’s election monitoring
programme, Nigeria 2015, Mr Makamma
said “there will be a run off between the
person with the highest number of votes
and the person behind him”.
He also confirmed that the candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr
Darius Ishiaku, is leading the candidate of
the All Progressives congress (APC), Sen
Aisha Alhassan, “with a margin of about
53,000 votes”.
Mr Makamma also confirmed that the
results from Donga Local Government Area
was cancelled.
“So that makes the election inconclusive,
because if you look at the margin at the
moment is 53, 000 and the number of
cancelled votes is 127, 125, so there will
be a runoff election to determine who the
winner is”, he said.

buhari fed govt led party tying to steal party victory through backdoor . Its unfortunate that Judiciary has been compromised through presidential rascality Buhari not fit to rule in a semocratic setting

“It is rather curious and a great conflict of irony that the Taraba tribunal sitting in Abuja on security grounds faulted the conduct of PDP primaries shifted to the same Abuja on security reasons”, the party stressed.

[size=13pt]Taraba judgment, another evidence of executive interference -PDP[/size]

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Saturday’s judgment of the Taraba state gubernatorial election tribunal in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Hajia Aisha Jummai Alhassan is another evidence of executive interference in the judiciary.

The party said the reason given by the tribunal for arriving at the bizarre decision is intriguing and further exposes the contradictions and double standards inherent in most tribunal rulings against PDP interests recently.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh said in a statement on Saturday that the Taraba state tribunal ruling again brings to the fore the organized plan by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC Federal Government to deploy all unorthodox means to decimate the opposition.

[size=13pt]“It is rather curious and a great conflict of irony that the Taraba tribunal sitting in Abuja on security grounds faulted the conduct of PDP primaries shifted to the same Abuja on security reasons”, the party stressed.[/size]

The PDP said if the tribunal is faulting the party primaries as basis for its decision, it then means that no APC gubernatorial candidate can stand the test, as their party never had acceptable primaries in any of their states.

The PDP wants democracy watchers globally to recall that it had earlier alerted the nation and the international community of the grand design by the APC to use the judiciary to wrestle some PDP states, particularly Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Taraba states.

“Evidence that Taraba ruling was a product of Presidency manipulation can be deduced from the fact that few hours before the judgment was delivered, the APC had arrogantly announced their victory on the new media”, it said.

PDP said it is totally confounded by the brazing show of power by the executive and warned that the development clearly portends grave danger to our democracy and indeed national cohesion and development.

Finally the party calls on its members across the country, especially in Taraba state to remain undaunted as the appellate courts will restore its well-deserved victory.

I expressed sympathy about her battle with cancer. I told her I was one of the doubting Thomases and wished her God’s mercy and miracle having seen her shocking state. She summarised how her ordeal started and that moment when her worst nightmare was diagnosed.

Gbawe:
It is time every brazen act of impunity and wrongdoing the PDP took during the 2015 election is reversed. We all know that PDP leaders never expected GEJ to lose so they stuck their fingers up at Nigeria and brazenly carried out all manner of electoral malpractices. They must have thought Buhari is joking when Mr.President announced that he would do all in his power to ensure all acts of [size=13pt]electoral violence,[/size] arson, misconduct and vote rigging is looked into exhaustively. PDP getting what it deserves in my opinion.

When they hounded Captain Sagir Koli out of Nigeria, because he revealed how Obanikoro and Fayose were bullying a Senior Nigerian military office to assist their vote rigging plans, PDP fans mocked us on Nairaland when we complained over that development. The threads are still here where some of us insisted this was wrong and must not be ignored with culprit unpunished. GEJ, in all his unscrupulous glory, pretended he did not notice the biggest and most disgraceful scandal to hit Nigeria in a while. In fact, showing the total disdain GEJ had for Nigerians, he made Obanikoro a Minister after that disgraceful episode. PDP and GEJ fans even taunted us that Captain Koli should show face to defend his allegation if he dares. Well Karma is a naughty woman and she is here for payback. Make una enjoy. For the next four years PDP and its fans will know that a disciplined, resolute and principled leader is in charge and not a corrupt, unprincipled, totally shameless and weak reprobate.

egift:
Nigerians are celebrating today, you should join us. By tomorrow, the Eaglets will make us proud too. Buhari will be receiving the victorious Eaglets as a Head of State and Civilian President. I hope you are not betting against Nigeria?

TonyeBarcanista:
It's very painful. But I think INEC contributed to PDP ouster by their testimony at the court.

egift:
In Wars and Politics, little victories in battles wins the War. Am sure if PDP won today, you will not be this apprehensive and melancholic.

egift:
Have you seen how your hopes have been dashed twice in a day Hahahahaha

So stop celebrating adulterated section of the constitution.
