Obi cannot win a Nigerian election.

Benbellamor:
The order of the supreme court is Not a judgement but 'an interlocutory injuction'.... as it stands, neither the police Nor the Army are served any cerified true copies to that effect.....moreso, CBN was not invited before the interlocutory order.... The president Veto carries more weight sir

1. The President cannot veto the decision of the supreme court. If the President could veto the judgment of the Supreme Court then Atiku would not pursue his election petition against Buhari because Buhari would simply discard a judgement ordering him to vacate office for not being validly elected by making a broadcast that he still remains president.

2. An interlocutory injunction of a competent court of jurisdiction is an interlocutory decision of the court. It carries the same weight as the final decision of the court. In fact, if it was granted by a lower court, an interlocutory decision of the court would require leave of court to appeal according to the CFRN 1999.

3. The Federal Government of Nigeria who is a Party to the case was served through the Attorney General of the Federation. I can't comprehend where service on the "Army" comes in here

4. In a democracy and in accordance with the CFRN 1999, the decision of the Supreme Court supercedes that of the President on this matter. It was abuse of power and unconstitutional for the President to make a broadcast contrary to the decision of the supreme court. A warrant of arrest would be issued against Buhari to face charges of contempt of court if the CFRN 1999 did not grant him immunity by virtue of his office.

5. El Rufai is reaffirming the decision of the Supreme Court that supercedes that of the President. He has not broken any law. This is a democracy and there are checks and balances. The only unconstitutional action and abuse of power is perpetuated by Buhari by virtue of his broadcast this morning.

Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and the rest are a downgrade of Ojukwu, honestly.

Ojukwu was fluent, articulated and strategic. He had an army under his control and was trained by the military of a world power yet he couldn't win the war.

With the current structure and setup of the Nigerian State, no secessionist stands a chance against the Nigerian government. A guerilla war will linger in the South East for a long time. The most it can metamorphose into is a country-wide genocide against Igbos.

Igbo people will remain part of Nigeria until other major ethnic groups let them walk away.

There's something peculiar about the unconscious systematic subjugation of the Igbo tribe politically that will be more pronounced in the shameful defeat of Peter Obi next week.

For the umpteenth time, Obi will not win:

Akwa Ibom State
Bayelsa State
Cross River State
Delta State
Edo State
Rivers State

The rhetoric that Igbos supported Jonathan is the most stupid claim. No one in the Niger Delta gives a Bleep about Jonathan's support.

Orubebe who protested Buhari's victory and wanted to stop collation on live TV in 2015 is now in APC.

Reno Omokiri whom Jonathan brought to limelight and even went on exile because APC won is Obi's greatest tormentor online.

Wike's, Jonathan boy, has instructed his structure to deliver Tinubu.

I can go on and on

I dey laugh. Just don't call people betrayers because they never said they were going to vote your man.

Na una dey gum body, dey impose "SOUTH south" is for Obi

On the 28th day of February 2023, zombiedients will be cursing South South people for betrayal and wishing genocide on Plateau and Benue States.

They've already allocated North Central that has KWARA, Kogi, Niger and Nasarawa states to Labour Party. They are so sure they will win South South. However, when those who know in and out of their community tell them the fact on ground, they dismiss their claims and troll them calling them Yoruba.

25th no far again.

The fact remains that APC's presidential campaign in Rivers State had way more participants than Labour Party's campaign in the state. PSQUARE literally performed at an empty stadium.


Rivers State is a PDP State. The bulk of career politicians and shakers in the State are in PDP. They cannot attend a presidential campaign that has Tonye Cole, the APC Governorship candidate.

Wike has a successor in PDP and cannot sponsor a campaign that will enforce APC at all levels in the state.

However, the PDP structure in Rivers State will return Tinubu as President and then return their PDP Governorship candidate.

On the 28th day of February 2023, zombiedients will be cursing South South people for betrayal and wishing genocide on Plateau and Benue States.

They've already allocated North Central that has KWARA, Kogi, Niger and Nasarawa states to Labour Party. They are so sure they will win South South.

There is no greater oxymoron than the headline and the first paragraph.

The very fact that the resolution of the meeting was that the CBN should print more new notes means that the Council thinks Nigeria is not yet ripe for a cashless economy.

A cashless economy is one that is supposed to have less paper money in circulation and more electronic money transactions. How are you promoting a cashless policy by asking that more paper fiat money should be printed?

Dump headline!

Education in Nigeria has gone down the drain. Newspaper editors are no longer competent. Sad.

If the members of the council are not knowledgeable enough, at least experts working for news outlets should be.

An headline that best describes the outcome of the meeting should be :
"Council of State backs Naira redesign".

Why it seems everything is complicated when it's not is the loud minority that started following national politics after endsars in 2020.

Since 1999, INEC has always partnered with registered transport unions to distribute election materials to tens of thousands of polling units across the country.

Telling them not to do that is like telling them that NYSC members and university lecturers should not be adhoc staffs of the commission because almost all the youth corps members and professors are partisan.
It's another way of saying that Elections should not hold this year.

Let's face it, INEC as an institution cannot afford to employ hundreds of thousands of employees and pay them for four years for them to work only on two weekends of an election year. About 80% of INEC staff that will run the elections are temporary staffs who are ASUU members, NYSC members, Transport Union workers, Security operatives and a few undergraduates if there are vacancies NYSC members cannot fill.

Jogs1900:
What of if there was no judgement on the 15th? Will the injunction earlier granted elapse? Can the court still extend the implementation date on the 15th?

The injunction is an interlocutory decision, it subsists pending the determination of the suit to protect the res.

In simpler terms, the injunction will be binding on the parties until the Supreme Court decides on the matter.

For instance, If a State Government wants to demolish a building and the owner gets an injunction from a high court of the state to prevent the demolition, the injunction will last until the high court decides whether the Government has the right to demolish the building or not because if the Government destroys the building before the judgement of the court, the government will not be able to rebuild the exact building if the court rules in favour of the owner of the building.

The central bank of Nigeria and the FG will not be able to repair the damages that will occur because of the rejection of old naira notes if the judgment favours the State Governors at the end. The injunction will therefore subsist till the matter is determined.

If judgment is given in 2030, That's when the injunction will elapse

FreeStuffsNG:
He has no choice

The Supreme Court judgement on the ex parte motion was written in plain baby English and anyone struggling to understand it yet calls himself a lawyer is just being mischievious or criminally-minded

Below is what the Supreme Court held:


In his ruling, the Justice revealed that after careful consideration of the motion exparte, this application is granted as prayed.

“An order of Interim Injunction restraining the federal government through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) or the commercial banks from suspending or determining or ending on Feb. 10, the time frame with which the now older version of the 200, 500 and 1,000 denomination of the naira may no longer be legal tender pending the hearing and determination of their motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.”


It is high time NJC and NBA sanction lawyers making a mockery of the SC on this issue.

Exactly. It's contempt ex facie curia for lawyers to be criticizing a decision of the supreme court because of emotions and political partisanship. The lawyers deserved to be jailed.

Only beer palour, illiterate, and unlearned analysts even assumed that the F.G will not honour the interlocutory decision of the Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court of Nigeria makes a decision, the only authority that can upturn it is "God in heaven". There are courts and there is the SUPREME COURT. The decision of the Supreme Court is final as in

Powerful figures in democracies across the world influence the compositions of the Supreme Court to get their way because they know that the decision of the Supreme Court is final whether in America or anywhere.

The first thing Buhari did as a prelude to 2019 polls was to remove the CJN whom he couldn't trust. Last year, a "Yoruba Muslim" CJN was appointed.

Una think say the Presidential elections of Africa's most populous country na to insult una papa and mama for social media?

One candidate is sure of having 25% votes cast in :

Peter is not even denying that they performed for Buhari during his swearing on the 29th of May 2015.

Their argument is "oh yes, we performed for him after he won the elections and became President, we didn't campaign for him".

What the Bleep is the difference?

Won't they cyberbully Kiss Daniel if he performs Buga during Tinubu's inauguration?

It's a very stupid argument I swear.

PSQUARE were also happy.

They performed at Buhari's inauguration!

Siwisheswereesh:
Disputes between the states and FG go straight to the Supreme Court.

That's what I've been saying since. Yes!

The supreme court can only entertain 5 classifications of cases at First instance. The case the Governors received an interlocutory decision on today is one of them.

Siwisheswereesh:
Supreme Court can hear any case! It's their prerogative to reject any case brought before them.

The Supreme Court cannot hear any case at First instance.

There are only five orginal jurisdictions of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and they are stated in Section 232 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and Sections 1&2 of the Supreme Court (Additional Original Jurisdiction) Act, 2002.

Penguin2:
The right place for them to have instituted the case is the High Court, and they know.

These guys just wanted to buy time.

That's the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

See Section 232 of CFRN 1999 and Sections 1 and 2 of the Supreme Court (Additional Original Jurisdiction) Act, 2002.

It doesn't fall within the jurisdiction of a high court. Seems as though you didn't even understand what I wrote above.

That's a big lie:

When COVID-19 happened, the FG and the Governors immediately formed a taskforce that saw billionaires and corporations operating in Nigeria donate billions of Naira to salvage the needs of the "poorest of the poor" as they were then called. The items donated were distributed to the states. The peak of Covid-19 in Nigeria was April 2020. Distribution of the items started in June 2020 after the first phase of lockdown relaxation. The warehouses were looted in October 2020. You lots speak like the donations stayed in the warehouses for more than 3 months.

Concerning the last ASUU strike, the Minister of Labour had more than 5 tarry meetings with the Union. The speaker of the house of representatives intervened more than once. The Federal Government took ASUU to court and won. They even threatened to register another union to displace ASUU. All hands were on deck to see an end to ASUU strike. Even Tinubu met with the Union.

The same people saying that CBN should not relax its policies because of elections are the same people that encouraged ASUU not to return to classes so that students can feel pain and vote against APC.

I can go on and on.

When most of you talk about compassion and humanity, I laugh because I understand that deep in you heart you do not care if a million people die of hunger as long as it satisfies your fantasies of winning the election.

Nigerian elites are more compassionate - facts.

Penguin2:
Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara States have taken the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria to court and gotten an interim injunction restraining the implementation of the February 10th deadline for the withdrawal of old Naira notes.

The judgment has elicited myriads of reactions with most people questioning if the Supreme Court has the jurisdiction to entertain the case and grant such injunction which has made it imperative to look critically at the entire case and its merit.

First, it is pertinent to state that the present policy of the CBN falls under Currency, Coinage and Legal Tender.

Now, Currency, Coinage and Legal Tender is item number 15 on Exclusive List of the constitution. What this means is that only the Federal Government has powers over anything regarding monetary and currency policy and States or sub nationals or federating units have no rights or locus whatsoever to dabble into it.

For clearer understanding, the only time the states can take the Federal Government to Supreme Court are only on issues in the Concurrent List where both the FG and State Governments have power of legislation.

So, in a nutshell, the case instituted by Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara States at the Supreme Court is standing on faulty foundation as the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over the case.

The proper thing to do would have been to approach a High Court for Judicial Interpretation of the extent of powers of the CBN and FG as regards currency, coinage and legal tender.

It doesn't work that way.

The exclusive and concurrent lists are more about legislative competence. For instance, it is unconstitutional for the House of Assembly of Kaduna State to pass a law to create a Central Bank of Kaduna State that issues a Kaduna State currency. It is unconstitutional for Abia State to make a law that states that 1 year notice must be given by the CBN before new notes are enforced.


The case of A.G Abia State & ors V. A.G Federation is a classical example that the Supreme Court can exercise its original jurisdiction vested upon it by Section 232 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 irrespective of what list the subject matter of litigation falls under in the second schedule to the CFRN 1999. In that case, littoral State Governments in Nigeria sued the Federal Government regarding resource allocation and resource sharing. The issues contained elements from the exclusive list especially whether they were to receive allocation for petroleum extracted offshore.

The States won the Federal Government in the case.

This is just embarrassing. Look at what bigotry has done to you. You have to go throw so many hoops to defend the man but its to no avail. The Jagaban is going down but its up to him to decided how he want it served. His criminality is well documented but the end of his wicked rule in Lagos has come to an end!
Obi never had any accusations against him. Yes , Anambra was very volatile when he stepped in and immediately quelled the madness. The then IGP rated Anambra the most secured state in the nation and we have the records to verify. In Anambra Obi rebuilt all the major teaching hospitals in Anambra , expanded them and build school of nursings in them. Obi paid over 40 billions in owed pensions by previous government and left over 78 billions in stocks and bonds.

I have a thread about the exodus of Nollywood actors from the East to Lagos and other places. Pete Edochie was kidnapped during Peter Obi's second term in Anambra State. Yes. A lot of big men were kidnapped in Anambra during his tenure.

Yahaya Bello is an APC governor. He's received many awards of best performing Governor but that doesn't mean he is the best.

wegevv:
This is beautifully written tbf. I will not mock you. It is your right to support whoever you want.

But I hope your candidate loses badly. The consequence of rewarding a party that has completely failed Nigeria with another term is just not an option for many of us.

The consequence of rewarding a corrupt man with no conscience the seat of the presidency because he feels it is his right is just not an option for many of us.

We can agree to disagree.

Obi all the way. And if not Obi, literally anyone but APC. Thank you

Thank you and bless your heart.

I understand your choice based on your priorities.

It's as simple as "APC didn't deliver up to my expectations, I'll try another party."

It will be a shame for you to produce hateful offspring whose highest paying job will be trolling successful people on the internet.

IDENNAA:
My guy , this your analogy is both bogus and unnecessary. There is no going around this one. Tinubu presents with many questionable incidents around him. There is something hideous about Tinubu, let's be honest. His Primary and Secondary classmates are all missing or they are just silent. People have evidence Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not his real names. That's very worrisome, he was involved in some narcotics deal in the U.s. where he forfeited over 500,000,000 us dollars. Then he operated over 10 bank accounts. These are all shady and security risk.

He became the governor and made himself an Emperor and cornered the common patrimony of the Lagos people. Nobody dare mess with the Jagaban of Lagos! His agberos will kill at will and he can outspend any candidate because he has too much money in his hands. He bought the trust of some northern governors with money and felt they owe him one.

Also , the man is having what might seem to be signs of early dementia. He cant believe what is happening before his eyes. He forget this is a different general generation with different times.

Looking at Obi , he is an easy sell. Took Anambra from 26 position in WAEC to number 1 for three consecutive years and remained at top 3 until last year when they dropped to 5th position. That's about 15 years of Academic excellence. You Lagos Tinubu can't touch that. Let me stop bgg

All you're saying is like me saying I can't support Obi because he's Ipob . He has always defended Ipob or because he said that ESN was created by the Governors of the South East. Those are allegations and not true. I can't judge Obi with those narratives because they are put forward by the opposition. In fact, if not for anything, it was during Obi's tenure that almost 100 corpses of suspected MASSOB members were dumped in a River in Anambra. When you connect those dots, you will conclude that he may not be a secessionist. I have never called OBi an Ipob member like others.

Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University, he returned and served Nigeria as a NYSC member. The pictures of those two certificates are enough. The files of the court case in the United States shows that he was running an accounting company in America. The other narratives are pushed by blackmailers, opponents and haters. There's nothing mysterious about Jagaban.

Great2017:
Is his source of wealth not questionable?

How is it questionable? Tinubu is the Warren Buffett of Nigeria. He's a First class Accounting graduate from an American university who made his fortune from stocks trading and investing in the right markets. He was also lucky to inherit generational wealth.

Tinubu played opposition from 1999 to 2015. That's 16 years. He was probed by Obasanjo's EFCC and Jonathan's EFCC found nothing on him. The accounts of Lagos State are audited by the best international auditors and organisations. None of the audit reports suggests that Tinubu has ever stolen from Lagos.

Any other story is beer palour gist.

BeardedmeatR:
Gibberish!

A candidate indicted for drugs trafficking who forfeited a whopping sum of $460000, who has shown advanced stages of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases , someone with a questionable identity and source of wealth cannot be the face of Nigeria in this 21st century!

When next you are looking to employee a CEO for your organization, you can employ him.

The drug story is not totally true. The United States does not spare drug traffickers. They go to jail.

Elite musicians / rappers like Kodak Black, DMX, Wiz Khalifa that have millions of followers have been jailed for being in possession of drugs. How on Earth will America bargain with a "millionaire drug dealer" who "distributes opium to their population"? If forfeiture was for drug dealers El Chapo, Pablo etc would drop a billion dollars to be free.


Tinubu was never a drug dealer. As a lawyer with experience in Judicial systems who has actually read the files that were made public, I explained in simple terms what happened in the case.

The forfeiture had nothing to do with Tinubu dealing on or trafficking drugs except you just want to blackmail him or you've been brainwashed to hate him.
