APC has lost this one

In the ensuing exchanges between the court’s panel and Mr Olatoke, Mr Agim said, “There is heavy reliance on the judgement of the High Court. We have held in several decisions that the court has no jurisdiction to look into the election of party executives but only on primary election of candidates for elective offices.”

But Mr Olatoke would not budge, prompting another member of the panel, Helen Ogunwumiju to ask, “but do we continue to perpetuate the illegality of the High Court by assuming jurisdiction over a case it does not have the right to hear?”

In addition, Mr Agim asked if Mr Olatoke was aware of PDP’s Constitution that empowers its national executives to organise primary elections.

Plateau Crisis:
Let Truth Be Told



One cannot be heartless to celebrate the killings disfiguring Plateau State. But that cannot be a reason to bury the truth. I may sound offensive to the guilty ones, while to some fair minded I may sound objective in my analysis. Whichever way, I remain committed to objectivity from my understanding of the situation disfiguring Plateau State which was from a long time plan.

Till this moment throughout my sojourn on planet earth, I never came across a set of people that hate to be developed by others like those so called indigenes of Plateau State languishing in abject poverty, frustrated, confused but deceived by their so called tribal, religious and community leaders to believing fiction, while those so called leaders are swimming in opulence and the state burns.

In political times, if you desire their votes, tell the indigenes what they want to hear. Tell them you will flush out Muslims in their midst. Tell them you will support the killings of Fulani, and their votes are for you without doubt!

“I am a son of the soil, you are a settler” this is what usually comes out from the mouths of the natives of Plateau State when discussing with tagged settlers, particularly Hausa/Fulani Muslims not to Igbos, Itsekiris, Ijaws, Uhorbos, Ikwerres, Efiks, Anangs, Yorubas etc but those whose great grand, grandparents labored through tin ore and columbite mining activities, arts/crafts, animals husbandry and trading to build the state when the so called indigenous natives were in caves until the arrival of White Missionaries to smoke and ‘forced’ Christianity on them for ‘salvation’.
But to the same Plateau natives, those minority tribes in Manchok, Zangon Kataf, Kagoro, Kafanchan, Gonin Gora etc of neighboring Kaduna State or Sayawa and Jhar natives from Bogoro in Bauchi State are not settlers on the Plateau but brothers. In fact, those ‘brothers’ enjoyed better respect and recognition from some of the past governments than the so called settlers despite their economic contributions to the sustenance of the state overtime.

Jos North hosting Plateau State capital is no more in the news as those hoodlums and their blood thirsty sponsors who severally unleashed mayhem on the once beautiful and peaceful tin city hiding under the guise of land grabbing, ethnicity and religion, were forced to retrieve back after the exit of their demi-god and his remnants from power.
Until the likes of one self-appointed prophet who is a replica of Paul Gunen Gindiri, Isa El-Buba who migrated from Gwoza hill in Borno to Jos preaching hate and violence on the Plateau are cleared from the scene, peace may continue to elude the troubled Plateau. The likes of El-Buba working with ignorant tribal folks, believe they have the monopoly of violence to frustrate the Hausa/Fulani Muslims out of Plateau. That mirage of ethno-religious cleansing can only be feasible after the return of Prophet Yisa (Jesus) to mother earth.

That El-Buba and like minds should better wake up from their day dream and embrace the reality to have their peace if they so cherish. But to flush out the Hausa/Fulani Muslims from Plateau State, is an impossible task to undertake. Take my words to the Bank!

They attempted bouncing back few years back but the commendable efforts for return of peace put-in-place by former Governor Simon Bako Lalong discouraged and shattered their plans. That is now part of history as fragile peace has returned to Jos city.

To those of us that have an inkling of what actually ignited the crisis from the beginning with some Muslims tagged as settlers while some addressed as Indigenous Muslims, we are not surprise that another round of the killings has erupted in Plateau State. It was Joshua Dariye who introduced the Indigenous Muslim Theory targeted at frustrating Muslims.

We all know the primary intention of the crisis that will remain an illusion till eternity because it can never be realized, and no matter the strategy applied by any of the warring factions and whosoever presides over the state government cannot achieve the hidden evil intention.
Fortunately, most of those who planned the execution of the cleansing are no more as they died frustrated and disappointed bigots and left the ugly situation their people are battling to executive today.

Those dead war mongers were pretenders who misinterpreted the words of God in the Holy Bible. They erroneously believed that Christianity is all about dressing gorgeously on the Sabbath Day and rushing to the Church to sing, clap and dance or reading the Holy Bible as worshipping God. Christianity is more than their imaginations.
The religion of Islam recognizes and respects Christianity. It recognizes and respects real Christians not the violent type masquerading on the Plateau. What Plateau has, are mostly Pagans and Atheist forcefully converted to Christianity overnight. Their religious behaviors and understanding of Christianity are at variance with the teachings and actions of Jesus Christ. That is the bitter truth!

If one may eventually ask, who has the capacity and courage to stop the ongoing killings on the Plateau? Who are those fanning the embers of hatred between Muslims and Christians and for what reason? Who started what looked like an ethnic cleansing exercise on the Plateau and discriminating theories? Who fired the first shot against the other? Were those responsible for past acts of murders, arrested and prosecuted or were set free by the powers that be? Does Plateau State need peace or is comfortable with the security challenges it faces? Is the State Government ready to do the needful no matter whose ox may be gored for ever lasting peace? These are few questions that continue to beg for answers.

The ongoing grisly and despicable killings in Mangu, Barikin Ladi, Bokkos and Riyom added to the massacre of over 500 Berom natives in Dogo Nahauwa a suburb of Jos on Sunday, March 7, 2010, the massacre of several innocent Hausa/Fulani in Kuru and Yelwan Shendam and those along the federal highway that passes through Berom communities, the gruesome murder of Gen. Alkali at Dura-Du by suspected Berom terrorists, and the murder of 23 innocent commuters at Rukuba road in Jos by suspected Irigwe militia group and the killing of 25 innocent souls at Zangam Yelwa. Then the recent massacre of over 155 innocent souls on December 23, 2023 in 23 villages and communities with over 122 houses razed down in Barikin Ladi and Bokkos local government areas are few references for this discourse.

We are not talking of the attempted ethnic cleansing that took place in the various local governments in the state under the watch of Jonah Jang by suspected tribal terrorists allegedly supported by governments of the past.

The crisis rocking the foundation of unity and cohesion in Plateau state seems to have reached a point of catastrophe and beyond immediate solution. The state is paying dearly in all fronts. One wonders how the state turned into such lawlessness that evil now holds sway with impunity. Definitely, there had been an absence of sincere government in place all along.

Plateau State crisis dates back to the administration of Joshua Chibi Dariye (1999-2007) the ‘proud’ recipient of the medal of pardoned criminal. Insecurity was one of the recurring ugly decimals that marked and de-branded that administration at all fronts.

Jonah Jang administration that came on board after the exit of Dariye, was even worse as it appeared to have enjoyed the spate of killings.

So the All Progressives Congress (APC) after birth, latched on Jang’s lapses and weaknesses for a better peaceful state.
The blood thirsty monster that turned our nation state into the killing fields of the African Continent courtesy of several factors including; terrorism, ethno-religious sentiment, the restless rage of armed robbery, banditry and kidnapping for ransom has not relented. Instead it has bared its fangs worse than ever before in our history.

At the slightest strike, accusing fingers point to members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN). But, the association has consistently denied any complicity in the attacks, warning that they should not always be linked to all attacks in the state, there are bitter lessons to learn from the series of killings over the years. The ones that have engulfed Plateau State since 2001 paint a parlous portrait of a country where citizens’ lives mean little or nothing to those who swore by their Holy Books to protect and defend lives and property without fear or favor.

For how long are we going to tolerate the crass absurdity of unmitigated murders in our country? Indeed, my continued outrage at the recurring bestial blood -letting on the Plateau since 2001 is predicated on the apparent impotence on the part of both the federal and state governments through the security agencies to rein in the monster of the orgy of violence.

As events have proved not much has been achieved by those on the corridors of power to stem the tide of the bloodbath on the Plateau and other places. On August 29, 2011, 20 innocent persons were murdered at Kabong, a suburb of Jos and their bodies mutilated and eaten by the beasts in human skin addressing themselves as Christians. Muslims had to celebrate their Eid-el-Fitr festival indoors. Yet, the worst case scenario was to follow later.
According to reports, some suspected herders went on rampage in Heipang near Jos on Sunday, September 4. 2011. By the time they were through, the family of one Chollom Gyang, including his wife Hannatu, six children and a four month old baby were dispatched to their ancestors. And in a subsequent sweeping strike by suspected Berom terrorists, a Fulani family of eight and a visitor were, hacked to hideous death at Foron village in Barikin Ladi local government area on Friday, September, 9, 2011. It was the fourth of such beastly attacks in Plateau state within just a week!

If that was more than a decade ago, what do we make of the approaching 2024, with regards to the safety of the people on the Plateau? As if the destructions of farmlands by suspected armed herders and cattle rustling by suspected natives and destruction of properties by ethno-religious jingoists were not enough and as if re-enacting a midnight horror film as the 10th Anniversary of the past tragedy, some assailants attacked, Tafi Gana village on August 17, 2021. There they descended on their victims’ and posted them to their ancestors. And in another attack at Dong village, gunmen murdered residents.
At the sleepy village of Dawan, Ganawuri Chiefdom in Riyom local government area, in broad daylight, former Minister for Sports in the Obasanjo administration, Damishi Tonson Sango was severally attacked and one of his police orderlies murdered by suspected natives of neighboring community.
Similarly, on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 there was an attack by unknown gunmen on an Irigwe community with five persons killed while four others were missing despite an imposed curfew on Bassa.
should act on promptly without politicizing them. And with that in place, it would be easier for them to identify and mop up hundreds of thousands of small arms and ammunition hidden all over the country by prospective trouble shooters most especially in Plateau, southern Kaduna and Tafawa Balewa axis in Bauchi State.
Besides, we should also do away with the persisting culture of impunity. The government should stop slapping perpetrators of evil with amnesty programs that insult the intelligence of their helpless victims. As Arewa Consultative Forum highlighted, this is the time to deal decisively with killers; to pay for their crimes against humanity instead of being cajoled by the powers that be. Only that would serve as a form of deterrence to others with similar evil inclinations.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang in the embattled Plateau State should not allow himself to be caught napping or his thoughts for a better and peaceful state beclouded by ethno-religious sentiments as was the case with some of his predecessors who sustained what we are witnessing today.

There are several devilishly claimed religious leaders parading the streets of Plateau that should be arrested and prosecuted for misusing the pulpit and podiums to fan the embers of hatred. One of such clowns known through his actions and preaching claims to be a Prophet while hiding his past antecedents needs public exposure by relevant security agencies.

A discreet investigation may expose his past as a disciple of the late devil, Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine and now as a stationed disaster on Plateau State that should be seriously monitored and possibly disconnected from preaching a religion he is misinterpreting.
He lost access to power after the defeat of his master’s sponsored gubernatorial candidate in 2015. He has been lost midstream since then but so desperate to breach the peace for recognition and return of business as usual. Injustice breeds violence that should be the watch word of any responsible government in Plateau State.

There was justice in Plateau State by successive governments as all were treated equally before the peace was disrupted by area boys and vagabonds in power. Late Police Commissioner Joseph Deshi Gomwalk, Chief Solomon Daushep Lar, Fidelis Nanmi’apTapgun and Simon Bako Lalong were good and straight forward leaders who governed Plateau State with respect to all.

Simon Bako Lalong did his best for the return of lost glory but the blood thirsty beasts on the Plateau were not comfortable with his style of carrying all along. Typical Plateau indigene sees the APC as a Hausa/Fulani Muslim dominated party not for them. The 2023 voting pattern in the presidential election says it all!
Lalong resisted and ignored their advances and never for once subscribed to their evil plans of Christianizing the state until he exited power peacefully. Now, there is Barr Caleb Mutfwang is a real Christian running helter-skelter to bailout the state from the past unfortunate incidences. But the crisis seems to have returned in full swing.

The devils are back to the trench thirsty for human blood to quench their eight-year thirst. But with Governor Caleb applying the right prescribed balm with courage, the wounds may heal within a short period. If not, one has to pity the once peaceful and progressing state loved by all as the bastion of tourism and hospitality.

Finally, for the truth, you cannot kill my own unjustifiably and still expect yours to live in peaceful no matter the societal status you enjoy. It is a tit for a tat game. A stitch in time saves nine!

I Come in Peace!

Shared as copied.

All these your narratives are lies from Satan. If Christians or Plateau people with the government are the problem on the Plateau, is it the same Plateau actors responsible for the carnage in Benue , Nasarawa, Taraba and and even in the southern party of Nigeria by the same blood thirsty actors (Fulanis) ?

You can deceive other Nigerians with your antics but definitely not a Plateau man who understand the sinister of Islam in conquering territory through systematic jihad.

garfield1:
The atiku vs shettima case was challenged via the electoral act not the constitution sir.

What's this one saying? Does the electoral act exist from a vacuum?

A lot of you guys are emotionally attached to the cases than the facts. Because some of the responses really proves that you lack the knowledge of the subject matter

garfield1:
There is no contradiction.tje cases though similar are legally different and distinguishable.in Kano,the case is qualification via 177 c same as in plateau though partially.ebonyi own is clearly different,that he is in pdp does not matter.no law stops him from being in pdp and still getting APC ticket as far as he fulfills the entirety of section 177 a-d.
I must concede that pdp might take plateau but apc may take kano.but lalong will still be impeached less he decamps

They are all pre election matters which the supreme Court had put to rest by dismissing Atiku's case vs Shetima. Saying is middlesome- interloper. Again the 2022 electoral act as amended was given strength in the same light.

That's the precedent already set by the apex Court unless something sinister, all the three respective states would be affirmed by the apex Court

I heard he didn't settle people that work for him for eight years as per his convoy. Most of the guys that worked for him nothing to show. Very greedy man

Liscolite1:
U see dat 137000 votes from 5 local government is what ododo or whatever is name is got from 1 local government in kogi state.... I've not seen that type of rigging in my life before....

Pls I'm still asking for someone to show me where a candidate scored over 100k vote in a single local government area in Nigeria... Kano or sokoto... I dey wait abeg.

D kogi guy won d election with jst 2 local government... 100k per local government okene and adavi.... Adavi and okene people Don plenty pass kano people arbi?

Peter Obi Scored 170k in AMAC area council of FCT, he also got 112k in Jos South of Plateau state. Those were real votes without manipulation

But okene results were purely rigged

Madness. Sim knows the game more than him now. He's quietly dishing out food in wike's throats. While wike's is shouting up and down

FreeStuffsNG:
He is in a world of his own and talking to himself when the ground has shifted under his feet

11,000 souls perished, mostly defencelss babies, children and women, at his order and he still thinks anyone is listening to him after he has been told to stop the killings yet he refused. Smh

It's already a month of continous day and night full scale air and land bombarding, draining military stockpiles yet no victory and he is being drawn into a long war with increasing isolation of his people in a global village with most of the major international flights in and out of his natural-resource poor but tourism-rich tiny nation of about 7 million people cancelled, Isreal citizens he ordered to leave Southern Israel yet to return to their houses, schools closed, Hezbollah striking and disrupting lives in Northern Israel etc. There's something he is not telling himself, he is winning a battle not the war. He is acting more like a politician who is thinking of winning the next election, he is not a war strategist.

US is supplying both Ukraine and Israel with arms largely built from supplies from China,
Indonesia and Russia, these 3 countries that dominate the supply chains of the materials used in manufacturing arms have placed controls on supply. They will draw him into a long war like Ukraine and drain him like Zelensky until they will now hit back at him.

Unfortunately, it will be from within his own people who will realise the futility in his strategy. Hamas is supposed to be a 5,000 to 15,000 brigade, it's strange that despite repeated Isreal's bombings, air strikes, tanks, hundreds of thousands of Isreal soldiers etc, for a whole month, IDF still cannot pronounce victory yet the Hamas are not ghosts.

When I watched the release of the two hostages last week, I saw the Hamas fighters, they are so confident that I kept wondering if these are people in same Gaza Isreal has been bombing for weeks. So who are the Isreal politicians like Mr Netanyahu deceiving? Certainly,I am not among those he is deceiving. Isreal has more problems with those making laws for it sef.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Keep writing the epistle, Israel is not Nigeria where we glorify terrorism. They match words with action.

Natanyahu will reduce Gaza to FIFA field and careless about your thought and what any terror sympathizer think

Ukum Local government has never experienced peace since the regime of former governor Gabriel Suswam. He empowered those guys with arms and encouraged millitia in that area. As a typical unlearned and a majority of uneducated people who were exposed to gaining power through violence, they embraced gun violence as a way of Life.

This act gave rise to people like the late Gana and a host of other people. Rivalry between groups then took a course in that area and to calm down the violence has been a major problem. Efforts were made by past government to cleanse those people of guns but it is too late. If a 10 year-old child warns you and tells you to very careful, please do because the next may be your death. They don't do childish Aye or eiya or whatever cult rivalry, what they know is how can you shot a gun. The same Ukum people recently kidnapped a serving commissioner and killed a former chairman that they kidnapped alongside the Commissioner.

The worst part of it is that, as soon as the government comes after them, they 'run into the bush'.

Ukum is where we have the largest Yam market in Africa. They produce the largest quantity of yams in the whole of Nigeria. They are so rich because of the yam business but majority of them are uneducated (they didn't go to school because they farm yams, sell and make money) and got exposed to modernity during the government of former governor Gabriel Suswam. Because of the so much money they have, buying guns is not a problem to them.

Amnesty has never worked because someone who has 5 guns may surrender 3 and keep 2. Or surrender 4 and keep 1. And because of what they did to Gana who was killed after surrendering himself, they no longer trust the government. The best that has worked so far is the government killing gang leaders. And it will surprise you to know that a member of a gang will derive joy in being the leader of gang to be killed and then they boast of 'even the government is looking for me'.

Only God can help with the situations in Ukum, Katsina-ala and Logo governments. But the worst is Ukum Local Government.

Lie! How can one LGA produce more year than the whole of Africa? Where as nasarawa and taraba states each produce more yam than Benue. Benue is just the market. Their yam production can only be quantify with Southern Plateau

That's Jos traditional food. Research suggests it for Diabetes patients
Is even more expensive than rice because of it nutritional value

You can make it into Jollof
Swallow to eat with soup
Pudding for breakfast and add milk and sugar
Juice
Portage add vegetables

That's my childhood meal

garfield1:
Not true.they did a rerun in kabong and pdp won by 28000

Yeah I remember, I mistook it to Gub election. The initial was 30k votes but after rerun it shrunk to 28 about

garfield1:
Apc proved overvoting just that they didn't harmonize their figures abd didn't tender enough voters register plus their statistician was inconsistent.votes gotten by apc in naraguta was excluded.the higher courts may cancel Jos north,south and mangu and reconduct

Only 12 pulling units in Naraguta B were cancelled because the POs failed to report in the collation centre but the results are even on Irev. The then chairman was accused of trying to manipulate the process which was Uncessful

garfield1:
During 2011 reps rerun,it was accepted.even in 2015,despite massive votes from there,the late hon Ibrahim maitala still won Jos north bassa

Not true!! They drop Kabong ward in 2015 and 19. Jonathan Aminu was robbed because Kabong ward was dropped

garfield1:
Apc stronghold is Jos north,east,shendam,kanam,wase,pankshin.pdp stronggold is Jos south,bassa,riyom,barakin Ladi, langtang north and south.quan pan, mikang,kamke,bokkos are usually 50 50 and tight.apc lost because they lost this swing areas except kamke because nentawe is from them.secondly,their traditional areas failed to give bloc votes while mangu and jos south gave to pdp.an extra 10k votes from Jos north,shendam,kanam,wase would have turned the tide

Since 2011 this is the first time Kabong ward was accepted that's why LP won the LGA. Also during the Gub the margin was 18k in favour of APC because a lot of youths love Nentawe. My brother is an APC agent in Naraguta B ward. In fact our pulling unit gave Nantawe 153 even though PDP won with over 300 votes but that's the highest APC ever got in that unit.

Do you know that APC won Naraguta B? APC got 19k, PDP 16k , and LP 4k. Naturally that's one of the strong hold of PDP in Jos North

garfield1:
He was friendly to the Hausa Fulani because they gave him bloc in Jos north,wase and kanam in his two elections.a lot of people don't like nentawe,he is unknown and inexperienced and like a third term of Lalong.the 40k margin of victory was from mangu.if apc had suppressed mangu,he wouldn't have won.
The bvas data shows overvoting in naraguta and kabong and even mangu.
If apc had done well in pdp areas as you said,they would have won.the difference was just bloc votes in mangu and lack of bloc votes from shendam,Jos north and kanam.apc usually wins here by plus 40k.

It's conjectural and APC failed to prove over voting in any of the LGAs. That's why they are relying on non structure of the PDP

LP scored 112,000 votes in Jos South during the presidential. If LP was not on the option. That's natural PDP votes compare with the Gub where PDP Scored 84k and APC 35k

APC actually depends on rigging to secure victory special in Jos North after excluding Naraguta B and Kabong wards which has a combine voting strength of 200k. The bvas really eradicated those mechanics of rigging.

Similarly, the level of rigging in shendam was checked by the bvas that's why the low number

How do expect PDP to have meager votes in mangu when their son is contesting? In fact APC performed remarkable well compared to what PDP got in Kanke

garfield1:
Pdp also lost its stronghold like Jos south to lp in presidential,infact apc beat pdp in the presidential race in plateau while pdp cleared nass which shows you where each party focus was.
Lalong handled plateau better than Jang,there was more peace under him.why apc lost is because of internal rancour,a lot were angry with the imposition of nentawe who is a cousin to lalong.the lp candidate is even from apc so he was dividing apc votes.a core party person like prof tyoden,sen dimka,hon gagdi,hon Patrick dakum would have easily won.several apc stakeholders like sen daduut,Mrs pauline tallen,dimka etc worked against apc while pdp was united.that 40k margin could have been breached.the 50k lp had was mostly for apc.pdp reached their maximum voting strength except in langtang south and riyom while apc could have had additional 10k in shendam, additional 10k in wase, additional 10k in Jos north,additional 20k in kanam and kamke.they could have won or bracketed quanpan and mikang.

Which Lalong handle security better? Just say he was the tool used by northern Oligarchs that's why Plateau people showed him the way out. Do you know how many villages have been under Fulani occupation under Lalong?
His body language gave strength to the terror war lots to continue harming Plateau People

The crises usually revolves around 4 LGAs of Jos North, South, Riyom and B/ladi but it has expanded to 8 LGAs under Lalong to Mangu, Bokkos, Bassa, and Jos East. The Fulanis keep on attacking those LGAs with nonchalanity always displayed by Lalong

the votes Nentawe got was because he was youth friendly not because Lalong handle anything. In fact APC made a remarkable inroads into PDP strong hold because people love Nentawe: for instance, Riyom, Jos South and Langtang South APC performance was first of kind on the Plateau.

garfield1:
Still,apc won Jos north by 20,000 during guber.if apc had gotten another 20,000 from there and shendam,they would have won.mangu rigging shocked apc

LP won in the Presidential election with 70k votes in Jos North. During the Guber, APC won with 18k difference that's 83 and PDP 64k

Nothing like rigging in Mangu. Natural it's there son, they gave 77k to APC 25k that's about 70℅ compared to what Kangke gave PDP 6k votes to 35k that's about 90℅

APC lost Plateau because the state does not look like where there's Governor

garfield1:
Oga,since 2011 pdp has not won Jos north lga.jos north delivered bloc for apc in 2015 and 2019.even during the guber polls,apc had more votes in Jos north than pdp and lp.bassa is pdp but apc is gaining ground there.
Quanpan and mikang has been voting apc since 2015 lalong came to power sir

Only ringing but the jinx has been broken with the introduction of Bvas machine

That's why Narraguta B ward with 109k registered and Kabong Tudun ward with 95k registered voters are usually cancelled to give APC an edge in Jos North but not anymore

dalongjnr:
Hmm..... You don't understand plateau politics. Live it for us.
Let me give you the senatorial district breaks.
Northern zone; Barkin ladi,PDP from day one after ANPP.
BASSA PDP but flipped to APC in 2015 but PDP won in 2019 and 2023 will limited margin.
Riyom,PDP from day one but flipped to ANPP IN 2003 and returned massive to PDP. JOS south thickly PDP.
JOS NORTH, The rigging no longer works there, and the cancellation of votes that used to happened with PDP which favour APC is no longer there. The largest ward on the plateau is kabong ward with over 70k active and consistent votes. JOS east is APC but the have less than 25k votes cumulatively as a LGC and margin is between APC 68% AND PDP + OTHERS 32%,FOR NOW.

Don't mind them

Narraguta B ward with 109k votes and Kabong Tudun ward with 95k registered voters are usually cancelled to give APC an edge in Jos North

garfield1:
He lost because of the obi factor and mm.pdp cannot win outside langtang north and south

Not true! PDP won and not LP so is not because of Obi factor.

Plateau people careful voted LP for presidential and voted majority PDP in other elective positions

garfield1:
You lie.lalong will easily win gen bali.plateau south is actually pro apc.whwre apc can never win is plateau north because the beroms are anti apc.out of the 6 lgas,only Jos east and parts of Jos north is apc.jos south,riyom,bassa,barakin ladi are pro apc..
Why lalong lost was because he was too preoccupied as dg batshet,campaigning for nentawe,trying to unite the party,trying to sell mm ticket in plateau and also his own campaign.on election day,his major priority was to get 25% in plateau.it wasn't easy facing a double onslaught from pdp and lp.something had to give in.in plateau south,only langtang axis is pdp.shendam his lga and wase are apc.mikang and quanpan are slightly.it is even plateau central that is complicated.only kanam is completely apc.mangu use to be slightly pro apc but with the governor from there,it is now pdp.bokkos is 50 50 or goes with dariye.pankshin and kamke is 50 50.even in 2019,apc won plateau central narrowly but won south comfortably.so in a rerun,apc will take south and jos north/bassa and lose the rest

You're not been realistic to yourself
Lalong would never win any election conducted on the Plateau as we speak

Quanpan, Langtang North and South, Mikang are thickly PDP. Only Wase and Shendam that APC has hope of which PDP has more 35% of votes in the two LGAs

Diket Plang might still retain his seat if rerun happens except if Ngas people decided to vote for their brother

There's no way another party will win Bassa Jos North than PDP. This is because the 40k votes of LP would automatically be collapsed in PDP because it was because of Peter Obi that LP candidate got those votes. Therefore, is a landslide victory for PDP. Meanwhile the second runner for Bassa/Jos North is PRP followed by LP and not APC

garfield1:
The judge never said so.in any case,it is a bad judgment..at least lalong will prevail

I listen to the judgment audio

Lalong as a setting governor was displaced. What make you think here will prevail when he's out of power!

The margin he will lose now would be massive. Except you're not aware of Plateau

garfield1:
By right,pdp should not participate according to legal precedents and then the runner up should take over.everything about the judgment is faulty from the basis to premises.you wrongly ruled on an intra party case without jurisdiction,you now refuse to declare the runner up winner and now you allow a fresh election with all parties participating.
Obviously,lalong will prevail.i don't know for sen diket plank

If there's a rerun Lalong won't make it even though appeal hasn't sit on the Lalong constituency.

Diket might scale through amongst all the APC candidates because APC it's a little pronounced in that region unlike Lalong constituency that is thickly PDP

garfield1:
No,based on precedents pdp cannot participate.once a party candidature is invalid,they are out of the race.the judges erred,they should have declared the first runners up as victors

The Judge categorically said all the parties would Participate. And appeal court is the final court for legislative position

garfield1:
Only you, PDP will not participate in the elections , and same you PDP can't win. You're even confused!

Pdp will not partake in that elections.pdp can't win Jos north bassa

I listen to the judgement not this faceless platform. The Judge said all political party would participate in the rerun

Jos North Bassa is express for PDP! Despite the fact of PDP votes were splitted with Labour Party, PDP emerge victorious.

This time around no one would be voting Labour, so the contest would only between PDP and PRP

Zamfara judgement is different from this one. 1) It was a pre-election matter that was taken b4 normal courts and not the election tribunal. 2) Zamfara case was filed by a member of APC and not it's opponents. Why should a disqualified an election bc a political party did not validly nominates it's candidate? This is ridiculous!

Not correct too

Zamfara case was filled by Inec for failure of APC not conducting Primaries while that of PDP on the Plateau was intra party affairs which supreme Court had ruled that no other political party has the right to interfere in another political party affairs.

It's nigerian judiciary, the heavier the money!

Lucky for the PDP the judgment also include them in the rerun

One thing is certain, conduct election 1000 times in that region, PDP will emerge victorious

I have worked with wike for 7years. One thing I know him for! He has conquered fear and is equal to the task to face any blood tasty jihadis.
They are lucky he is not the president. Banditry and Boko Haram would have become document of history

Same thing in the Book of Zephaniah


Prophecy of Zaphaniah 2:4

Philistia
4 Gaza will be abandoned
and Ashkelon left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
and Ekron uprooted.
5 Woe to you who live by the sea,
you Kerethite people;
the word of the Lord is against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
and none will be left.”
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.
7 That land will belong
to the remnant of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes

when was the last time you heard of such lies in Benue thay fulani were killing Benue people since Ortom came down as governor? The man really fed Nigerians with lies just to gain cover up for not performing in the state and also increase his security votes.

When was the last time you heard of fulani attacks? Ortom orchestrated the killings of HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Because Benue people have no one to speak on their behave. How about the killings in Plateau, Nasarawa and Kaduna? Was it also Ortom that's orchestrating it?

Ortom might have performed poorly as a governor, but he placed the jihadis Fulanis where they belong and gave the the appropriate nomenclature which they hated so much

Oga,there is politics in the court in case you don't know.ill not go into details Sha.if you analyze the result well,you will notice that xtian dominated lgas voted pdp while Muslims ones voted sule.
Sule is well connected,dangote imposed him on makura.his father is emir of keffi.the northern establishment are behind him.ombugadu is a nobody.worst case scenario is a rerun in lafia

Meanwhile, the David is backed by forces beyond northern elites and Dangote. Aside from God, Wike sponsored him and guess what? The court at his palm?

LGA chairman is bigger than any king in nigeria base on the Constitution. Abacha only allocated 5% of LGA funds at the instance request of Jeremiah Useini
