Wole Olanipekun and his defence counsel can write or claim anything in defence of Tinubu, but they should stop making reference to US consulate or embassy in Nigeria. An embassy in a foreign country is just a business centre and will never get involved in your local politics in a way that it jeopardizes their business interests.

Trash this abeg. Which kind nonsense did you write there?

By the way, I didn't see anything convincing in defence of why Tinubu forfeited $460k on drug-related offenses. On no grounds will any legit citizen work hard, save up such an amount and forfeit it to the state. We are talking about over #300 million here.

This case isn't just about the morality of justices who will hear the case, but where Nigeria stands on the war against narcotics and being an enabler of drug-related criminality.

Na so Dem dy do, if time don dy reach for them to from office them go dy do good.

PointZerom:
APC only fucused in the polling units where the over voting favours APC, I believe that PDP will go into action for all the polling units to be reviewed.

umuna:
Thanks for your write-up, very explanatory and educative. The Tribunal wants to steal the mandate of the Osun people.

Johnnyessence:
Oyetola will lose both in Appeal court and Supreme Court of justice

Few points on this judgement:
1. The first report given to APC actually showed over-voting in more than 700 polling units. It is actually around 1500 polling units or thereabout including units APC won. Therefore, the alleged over-voting is widespread although APC based their petition on units they lost (700). This was alluded to in the minority judgement. Therefore, it is not restricted to where PDP won.
2. The second report given to PDP was better but was also showing over-voting in some units as well. The majority ruling of the tribunal claimed that INEC colluded with PDP in the pendency of the petition by APC to produce the second reports. However, this argument is puerile at best by two reasons (a) PDP is entitled to ask for the same forms/reports given to APC to defend the petition and can only ask for it in the pendency of the petition. Why would the winner of election ask for BVAS report? PDP won the election. They asked for the report after studying the petition of APC.
(b) The second BVAS report cannot be said to be tampered with because it still showed over-voting as claimed by APC although in less polling units across the state.
3. The two reports are contradictory leaving the PDP to then ask for physical inspection of the BVAS machines. At least the reports are generated by BVAS machines. The BVAS machines were brought to the open court and inspected and the data there correspond with the election results. Now, there were three evidences. 2 BVAS reports (printed from server, mind you) and one physical reports of the BVAS machines in the open court. In fact the two BVAS reports are not in tandem with the results of the physical inspection of the BVAS machines. The majority ruling decided to go with first BVAS report, neglecting 2nd BVAS validly given to PDP and the data on the BVAS itself.
4. In the majority judgement, the judge harped heavily and compared the veracity of the two BVAS reports. He said the 2nd BVAS report is doctored. Okay, but what of the BVAS machines itself? Is it also doctored? The tribunal gave permission to inspect the machines by the two parties and everyone in court saw there was no over-voting in BVAS machines but the tribunal didn't even take a position on the results of BVAS inspection in their ruling.
5. The tribunal didn't dabble into whether the results of BVAS machines inspection are accurate or tampered with as well. The question is, are BVAS machines tampered with as well? I will answer in negative by two reasons:
(a) we learned that only the chairman of INEC and director of ICT can have access to data stored on the BVAS machines. Even one of them cannot access the machines data without the cooperation of other. We all know that immediately after election and after tribunal started sitting, the BVAS machines were housed in the tribunal and not with INEC in Osogbo.
(b) The second reason why I believe that the machines were not tampered with was because the inspection of the machines showed over-voting in 6 units. If INEC had tampered with it, no polling units will report over-voting.
5. There were 3 members of the tribunal. The chairman wrote the leading judgment and other member wrote minority judgement. The third member of the panel did not agree with either the majority or minority judgements in the open court. After reading of the judgment by the chairman, the third member only greeted people and say goodbye. No concurrence or otherwise. I dare to say there is no judgement of that tribunal.
In conclusion, I believe the fight is actually against BVAS machines to erode the confidence of people on the machines or INEC and bring apathy in the forthcoming general election. Everybody should endeavour to get their PVC and vote wisely. Your vote will count.

Sikay19:
What kind of distorting report is this. Court recently issued the subpoena to the REC. How is it possible to serve the notice of summon when it was not yet issued.


The statement “ Oyetola fails to” is a very stupid thing to write.

PrinceOfLagos:
The APC primary he bought with drug money abi

funshint:
That's why Tinubu said "You can't prevent a Church rat from taking poisoned holy Communion" . The "Church rat" is Africa while Industrialization that can lead to climate change is the "poisoned holy Communion". In essence Tinubu is saying that Western countries can't stop us from industrializing just because you want to prevent the climate change you chiefly caused. Sometimes when a brilliant mind talks, you'll think he's mad. Tinubu's intelligence is exceptional!

blueAgent:
Most Africans like u lack foresight.

Is it the West that stopped Nigeria from building dams to avert the flooding we experienced this year?
When Hurricane struck parts of US sometime this Year did they point fingers at Africa or did they start rebuilding and making corrections?
