Let's allow the court to do their job peacefully, no need for all these . We trust our judiciary to carry out their work effectively and if there was any stolen mandate, then let it be returned and if there's non then let everyone rest and go about their normal lives.

Excellent. I prefer your today you to your before today you. Keep it up!

Penguin2:
People’s Gazette is reporting that CJN, Ariwoola, has been spotted disguising on wheelchair to hold a secret meeting with Tinubu in London.

After rigging at the polls, they want to rig at the courts too?

Whether he met him in London or not. All we ask is live transmission of the proceedings from the tribunal. Period

vowiski:
Wow ..

Imagine na she be INEC chairman’s

Still a lot of people , like my dad who will never compromise …even me Dey vex for am at times

But seeing people talk about him always makes me proud …

Obi will appoint her the INEC Chairman

Tinubu Only Shared A Flat With Drug Barons, He Was Not A Member – Keyamo Mocks Obi

Save this explanation for the court, we are not lawyers like you. The court will understand you better

OBIGS:
MKO situation is different. It was a military regime. I can say for a fact that Tinubu will not be sworn in if Peter Obi is arrested. The Nigeria military Is aware that if a coup happens now it will have the backing of majority of Nigerians which is what they need. Tinubu camp will be making a very big mistake to ruin themself

Great thinker!. Tinubu's camp is now pushing for a coup actually, as a pretense to save Tinubu the impending shame/doom

According to the script, Obi will be arrested and the protest will take a very dangerous dimension. Then BOOM, you guess is as good as mine

Fame99game:
Anything I say about Obi. The CIA will believe me. The British, China Even Russia will believe me. I was General Amaymon, the demon of the East. No matter how u blackmail me, you will fail this time, Obi should withdraw and accept defeat. Pay us for damages. Retire to his Agulu mansion and think about his life of greed.

I am a true son of Igbo, I will not allow these vampires to deceive the Igbo Nation.

The best option for Ndigbo is Jagaban.
Obi and his gang of murderers can not rule.they are evil.

Jagaban is who we want now as the President of Nigeria. Anybody fighting against Jagaban is my enemy or enemies.

Jagaban is my Father and am his Son. We are ready to play dirty Politics.

Lol. Obi does not have a mansion at Agulu oo. My house is 10 times better than the house Obi has at Agulu

Adexgentle005:
I swear bro, you are right. And I’m not really happy about it. OYO state should have international airport!

Let him not waste money in building airport, it will not be commercially viable. The umbilical cord of all Yorubas are buried in Lagos and they do not travel locally unlike SE with 3 viable airports, and the 4th one is warming up to join the league

helinues:
And the moral lesson of the epistle..

Have you people vowed to something not to return back to your region and develop it?

The recent INEC voter register showed that the 5SE states are more populated that the 5W states, excluding Lagos. In Lagos, the population of Igbos should be at least 30%. On what empirical fact are you asking us to go back, when we have a sizeable percentage as stated earlier at home doing.

We need them to stay where they are while we are working to make the SE states the factory of Nigeria and West Africa, They will form our distribution networks across Nigeria and WA. By 2033, if we are still in one nation, we would have developed at least 50,000 factories in 5SE. We are building airports and about 3 of our airports will become international soon, to attract the world to our home. We have finalized plan on our railway connections to our closest Seaport in the Interim, and a plan in place for ours. Electricity generation is already settled, we only need to put distributions lines accordingly. We are ready for the Aku Luo Uno and by the nest 10 years, Nigeria will see how far we have gone

Adios

walefresh3:
it is under concurrent list now.... State can build seaport and international airport now... It now depend if private airline will decide to operate on it

Seaport is still on exclusive list, but airport is on the concurrent list with railway now

OnyeAshuaUru:
Nweke and Mbah are the same class of criminals who were nobody before their brother Chimaroke Nnamani invited them to come and join in looting the treasury of Enugu State. They are better than nobody, talk more of a seasoned administrator like Edeoga who nobody has accused of taking their one Naira.
Peter Mba helped Chimaroke loot Enugu State to the ground, used his loot to float an oil company and then started answering a successful entrepreneur. Stop comparing a gentleman to a criminal unless you are one of the dishonest sods feeding fat from his loot.

My dear, there is no one that has an oil company in Nigeria that did not embezzle money to float the company, it is impossible. At least, he invested his money in physical assets. Some persons in his category hid their loots in foreign accounts

Adios

helinues:
The election taming na just Mariwo, they should watch out for the outing of the masquerade across SW states

Zimbabwe was once a flourishing country in the 90s and today, they are a very poor country because they drove out the whites; On the other and, Rwanda was a very poor country in the 90s that led to their genocide, but today they are flourishing because they embraced development and removed discriminations

Malaysia drove Singapore away from their federation and today, Singapore is a leading light for even Malaysia. As an Igbo man and an Anambra Blood, I know that we can do better with an IGBO ONLY nation, where we can control our politics, affairs and development

Think, what you wish critically, your leaders knew that exodus of Igbos from Lagos will bring the downfall of Lagos

Adios!

OnyeAshuaUru:
Peter Mba is a criminal who helped Chimaroke loot Enugu treasury, and then used the loot to float an oil company and started calling himself a successful entrepreneur.
The same criminal has now returned, and in the trademark ebeanọ style, used thugs, voter intimidation, and financial inducement to rig himself in as the governor-elect. That's criminal.
Enugu will never bow to a criminal.

The truth is that LP candidate (Edoga) is not better than PDP (Mbah). Enugu missed a seasoned Administrator in APGA(Nweke). The good news is that Nweke will join LP soon and if Mbah fail to deliver, Ndi Enugu can replace him confidently with LP (Nweke) in 2027

Adios!

NwaIdeato:
The odd man out is Uzodinma, he's actually trying in Imo state but he is definitely the type that won't work with the other governors, hopefully we will vote him out this November if doesn't improve his administrative skills.

Please Ndi Imo do not think of bringing back that PDP man from Mbaise in November. Please look for a technocrat like Soludo/Otti or seasoned business man like Mbah, so we all can move together in our Aku Luo Uno drive

Now, that railway is on concurrent list, I expect an:
1. Enugu-Awka-Umueri-Onitsha-Nnewi-Orlu-Owerri-Ngor Okpala- Aba-Obehie-Obigbo-Afam-Onne line(Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia & Rivers to discuss modalities)

2. Aba-Ikot Ekpene-Uyo-Ibaka line (Abia & Akwa Ibom to discuss)

3. Enugu- Abakiliki-Ogoja-Cameroun Border (Ebonyi& Cross River)

4. Onitsha-Asaba-Agbor (Join the Ajaokuta- warri Line of FG)

seunmsg:
They are now begging Tinubu to handover to Peter Obi. This handover you’re talking about, is according to which law?

There is absolutely no storm that you guys can bring that we won’t match you. We’ve won this already. Bola Tinubu will be president of Nigeria from 2023 to 2027 and Peter Obi will never become the president of Nigeria. This is a promise we are going to keep.

And please, don’t ever talk about a southern interest again, it doesn’t exist. We only care about Nigeria’s interest and nothing else. Btw, northerners are our brothers. They are trustworthy, honorable and reliable. We will ensure power goes back to the north after Bola Tinubu’s presidency.

I heard that Tinubu signed an agreement with NW to do only one term and power will return to the North, so that it will compensate for Yaraduas missing years for the North

FYI, a Tinubu presidency, if allowed will not benefit SW, but NW and SE because he will have a weak mandate to govern

Reality3080:
just leave d igbos

They still believe it’s Biafra or death where anything goes

I was informed that Wole Olanipekun has briefed him on the import of Obi's petition and the old man hurriedly left for holidays cum medicals at London/Paris in the pretense of going for a lesser hajj. I sincerely wish him a quick recovery, an excellent holidays and a successful hajj

Maybe, he will come back on the day of swearing in

PointB:
Dear Tinubu,

A storm is coming; a big storm. Bigger than what many of your advisers and hangers-on care to let you in on. This court case portend a clear and present danger to you. It threatens to expose all that you have 'worked' tirelessly over the years to bury. Dead bodies of yester years, injuries that've healed, and scars that have been covered. These are all game in the storm to come.

Is it worth it that in your old age, you want to drag yourselves through this storm, this mud, and be remembered for things that are less than stellar? Is it worth it for your wife (cos her name was conspicuously mentioned in the drugs case). Let's say both of you are hardened and would not care for anything beyond your 'emilokan' ambition, what about poor Seyi? He seems a likeable kid, full of passion and energy, one for the future. Would you like to damage him too, in this brickbat of litigation that is coming.

Even before the first word of this case is uttered in the formal court, the court of public opinion (read public opprobrium) will first scrutinize every letter of the judgement and vent their frustration and anger on you, and eventually your family. Is it worth it? For you, for Remi, for Seyi? They call you strategist, think! Cos this tactical manoeuvre, will come with strategic blunder. You still have your Lagos, for now!

Let's assume, you don't care about how this impact you and your family. What about your ethnic group? Your countrymen, your nation? How will these rub off on them? And then, there is a small matter of the international community? How would they perceive you, win or lose? How will they see the country Nigeria? What message are we passing to them about ourselves as a people after the potentially damaging court case? They are already brandishing Visa bans left and right. What next after the court cases?

Sun Tzu said, the best war is the one that was never fought. An anonymous philosopher once said, "No matter how far you have walked on the wrong road, turn back!" Let me advise you in Yoruba proverb -"IGI GOGORO MA GUN MI LOJU, OKEERE LA TI N WO" (Literal Translation: For a sharp twig not to pluck out your eyes, you must yell out from a far distance. You have to be proactive to avoid errors /disasters /tragedy. )

Once you enter the ring with Peter Obi, in the name of election tribunal, win or lose, YOU lose! Remi loses, Seyi loses. Save them by saving yourselves. Do not besiege a walled city - Sun Tzu.

Give it up, all of it, for Peter Obi, for the South. Win, by losing!

Sincerely,

Indefatigable

PointB

After reading your perfectly crafted piece, I can feel only but pity for the President-Elect. I heard he is actually a good man, talent hunter and has good disposition on issues; However, i feel that NW set him up to fail and Obi doesn't take prisoners in court

Tinubu will surely fight till the end, unfortunately, it can only end in disgrace, but who will tell the pope

raskymonojendor:
Good luck to him.

Obi's history of politics of hatred and division below. Nigeria dodged a bullet.

Please, campaign is over as the election had been conducted by INEC. We are in the court now and not quite sure how deliberate misinformation will help your candidate case in the court

Justicemy8:
He will be a bigger thief than the orji's,, don't expect instant development in abia just yet,, Alex otti has contested for three times now,, and he finally gets it,, he will use his first tenure to recoup all the money he lost previously,, that is how politics is works in Nigeria,, know this earlier and know peace in future when it starts happening

Perhaps, that is how it works with APC and PDP, Labour Party is different oooo. If he fails to perform, we will put a Keke Driver next 4 years to show the way

Abia in the bag, we await the good news from Enugu as well

muykem:
Atiku technically knocked down Peter Obi in his petition.

His petition is weak. How can he be arguing that Tinubu was not properly nominated and as well wanting the court to declare a rerun between him and Tinubu. His argument should be declare me as the winner or a rerun with Obi, of course, he knew that Obi met all the conditions to be declared the President.

INEC and Mahmoud brought this confusion upon the nation, by simply not doing the right from the beginning

Jones4190:
From Peter Obi’s petition at the Tribunal, as revealed this yesterday by his Lawyers, and for not asking the Tribunal to declare him as the winner as threatened initially, it is absolutely clear that Obi has no other results apart from the ones declared by INEC, he also knows he lost the election despite all his multiple bigotry tactics, his interest at the moment is how to tame his rabid followers who he can only control by giving them a false non existing hope to hang on so as not to turn the altar merchants to fake prophets and also to prevent total frustration from being the lots of endsarsprenuers whose hope is to hijack public treasury.

GAME OVER for Peter Obi, his petition is watery!

Are you sure you read his petition?. I seriously doubt you did. Please go to page 36 and see Obi's prayers 4(ii)(iii) as can be seen here https://www.scribd.com/document/632742041/Peter-Obi-Election-Petition# . He is a man of peace, he made alternate prayers

Elemosho478:
You get it

That's exactly what happened when they linked the funds in Tinubu's account to drugs.

They seized it with civil fufeiture but then Tinubu challenged them in court when the case was dragging on the law enforcement agency and Tinubu opted for out of court settlement and Tinubu forfeited 460,000$ out of the 1.4 million dollars confiscated.

The reason must be because neither Tinubu nor the law enforcement agency have the sufficient evidence to prove their case. Tinubu could not totally prove the money was not linked to Drugs and the agency could not also prove the money was linked to drugs to confiscate the whole 1.4 million dollar.

So he forfeited 460,000$ in one account and they released the rest.

Note if the law enforcement agency filed a criminal case against you in the USA you can not settle out of court even if you entered a Plea Bargain, the judge will still sentence you but they will skip the trial and perhaps reduce the punishment and sentence.

And under USA federal law there is no way you will only lose just half of your confiscated assets just because you entered a plea bargain for drug related crimes in the US. When you entered plea bargain you have already admitted that you are guilty of the crimes.

It is impossible that the sentence would just be losing half of your confiscated money without even any jail term even if you entered plea bargain for drug related crimes in the US.

He paid a fine of $460k in lieu of prison sentence, according to the Petition

Britishpea:
What the poster wrote are all jargons.

Did he know what the legal teams of Tinubu were thinking or filing in defense? He kept seeing Obi as someone who came from Jupiter.

All the drug case brouhaha had been long foreseen by Tinubu’s camp and they knew that either Obi or Atiku was going to file it. This is why Tinubu hasn’t addressed it. Catch your enemy by surprise. Tinubu had gotten mandates for about 5 governors in Nigeria including an opposition governor to his party. He knows about the court processes more than Obi.

The same Obi is making the prayer to be ambiguous yet you claimed he knew what he’s doing. Asking the court to declare him as the winner and at the same time asking the court to cancel the whole election.

Where is the sense. You keep hyping Obi who’s confused already. His only case here is that of Shettima which both Shettima and Tinubu didn’t disclose to anyone yet if Shettima resigned from being a senator before he accepted the VP SLOT.

However, both Goodluck Jonathan, Namadi Sambo and Atiku became Vps in this country while they were governors without first resigning.

Courts give judgement based on histories, evidences and witnesses not because they love your face.

I thought you were a lawyer initially, but after reading your penultimate paragraph, i wouldn't assume again. This is because, a lawyer should have known about s35 of 2022 electoral act, as amended

N3TRAL:
The law does not tell INEC to set out guidelines. It states in section 60(5), that the results will be transmitted in a manner prescribed by INEC. That is an administrative power. As long as the law is silent about transmission, manual transmission is not a substantial irregularity.

The guideline is an administrative guide by the INEC chairman to guide his staff and political parties. Just like he promised on TV or wherever, he can change it. It his discretion. According to section 135 of the ACT, it isn't enough to cancel the results of the election.

If you argue right court will declare Obi as elected AND if you argue left court will bar Tinubu and order a re-run. The choice is yours

Dentidon:
Forfeiture was for money investment offence, not drug..

And who cares about that dumb propagandist David hundeyin who was chased out of oxford university

Ipob brain will be the end of typical Ipob if they don't wise up.

Don't defend what is beyond you. Allow lawyers to make arguments in court please

jconsulting:
Shame on the eebos , all the can present is a third class, no wonder brilliant Nigerians avoid the man except the gullible and the uninformed, you can't give what you don't have, how will a third class govern a country as complicated as Nigeria , God forbid, somebody with no track record of good governance, even his successor confirm that his so called investment he claimed he did for Anambra state is next to nothing, but because of stupidity una dey follow am.

Do you know what it takes to work in Mobil , talkless of becoming an accountant and treasurer how many of their generation can attain that position.....

Tambuwal 2027, North 2027 , Insha Allah

Hmmm, so Tinubu agreed with the North that he will do a tenure?. Not to worry, he has to return this certificate first to the rightful owner

weyreypey:
This may cost Peter Obi his life

Na you go killam?

richidinho:
I think we should do away with all this religious comments, Religion shouldnt be the basis to choose our leaders in this country what matters most should be whether the person is qualified for the position.

As far as I'm concern the NW is even more qualified to produce the next SP because of the number of votes they gave to the party

I second your submission, but let us give SP to a moslem from NC AND the speaker to a moslem from NW as they gave Tinubu the most votes. SGF can go to a moslem, preferably from SW and then we can build a prosperous Nigeria

vicdom:
PDP and Atiku have untill this night within law to file their case, Do they actually know this or have they tactically rescinded their decision not to continue their litigation?

Atiku might have provided all the evidence PDP used to rig against Obi in Adamawa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Plateau, Bauchi, Taraba, Kogi, Kaduna etc to Obi. It happened in Anambra before, when PDP agents provided evidence to Obi of APGA to reclaim his mandate from Ngige PDP

This will be very interesting, as Tinubu has never lost any election and Obi had never lost any electoral tribunal case.

Tareq1105:
Mumu is your middle name.

Shettima can even participate in Senatorial primary election.

Did he participate in presidential primary election?

No.

Electoral Law says you cannot participate in 2 primaries.

Shettima participated in only one and that's Senatorial.

He never participated in presidential primary.

Shettima was PICKED for VP, he was not elected, he never contested for it.

Electoral Law did not say you cannot be picked.

He was picked. He never contested or participated in 2 primaries.

My guy you go school now. Do you have to be a lawyer to understand this?

Obi lawyers are mumus.

Tinubu should just allow me to defend him. He shouldn't disturb Olanipekun, Fagbemi, and Olujimi and the rest 47 SANs.

Please read s35 of the electoral act; perhaps, slowly this time. It says that you cannot be nominated by more than one political party or in more than one constituency in an election season.

Also, note the word "nominated" is different from the word "elected". Tinubu was nominated & elected to be the presidential candidate of APC during his party primary;Whereas, Shettima was nominated to become his party vice-presidential candidate after the party primary

Larryhoover:
With this petition, the case has ended even before it started.

On what ground would you say INEC should disqualify a candidate and not eligible to contest.

That INEC should disregard the vote of the 1st and 2nd respondent, and hence declare the 1st petitioner as the winner. Then what should Atiku that came 2nd with over 6.8m votes do?

I think some SANs need to think deeply before filing a petition because these are pre-election matters than is the responsibility of the party not the opposition.

Well, it would be interesting to see the outcome of the Tribunal but honestly I expected something solid from the Obi's legal team and not this joke.

Disqualification on the ground that Shettima was nominated as a senatorial candidate of APC in one of the senatorial districts of Borno and as well nominated as Vice-Presidential candidate of APC in same election season in violation of s35 of Electoral Act 2022, as amended

Jogs1900:
By the time LASG responds, dont cry victimization and tribalism.

We will not resist, but we will avoid by paying in our home states. Whatever is your given tax assessment in Lagos, Anambra will give you 70% discount folks. Pay in Anambra and show LIRS evidence of paying at your business HQs
