Go and read the judgement again.

Nomination of a Candidate is the internal affairs of a Political Party, the SC had chorused. There is no jurisdiction whatsoever for any Party to file same.

Nomination and/or Sponsorship of a Candidate is the business of that Political Party.

“It is settled law that the issue of nomination of a candidate by a political party for any election is within the exclusive preserve of the political parties and that the Courts have no to interfere therein as decided in a number of cases including Onuoha v Okafor & Ors, Dalhatu v Turaki, Pali v Abdu, PDP v Sylva, etc.

No locus standi, just like Obi's LP matter .... There is no merit whatsoever, no jurisdiction.

You see, the Silas Joseph Onu was trying to be too clever by not completing the section he quoted:

This is S33, he quoted by half:

A political party shall not be allowed to change or substitute its candidate whose name has been submitted under section 29 of this Act, except in the case of death or withdrawal by the candidate : Provided that in the case of such withdrawal or death of a candidate, the political party affected shall, within 14 days of the occurrence of the event, hold a fresh primary election to produce and submit a fresh candidate to the Commission for the election concerned.

Do you conduct Primaries for the position of Vice President?

S31 is where the Shettima/Masari issue comes under:
A candidate may withdraw his or her candidature by notice in writing signed by him and delivered personally by the candidate to the political party that nominated him for the election and the political party shall convey such withdrawal to the Commission not later than 90 days to the election.


Even if we concede that it was, it is a pre-election matter that has expired past the constitutional 14 days after the cause of action.

Again, APM is a meddlesome interloper, a busybody who had no business to challenge or try to inquire into the domestic affairs of another Political Party.

This is akin to the APC trying to probe Obi's membership of LP.

Again, APM has not shown Any injury Shettima's alleged invalid/valid/double nomination has caused them. For the records, the APM came overall last in the Presidential Election. Their Candidate in the last election is still a subject of litigation. Ironically so, they openly and publicly announced their backing of the PDP in the last Presidential election.... They will be fined for this frivolous suit.

The temptation is to dispute some of your claims but I do not wish to.

But I remember that same you have said that some pre-election matters can be carried over into post election litigations.

Again, it doesn’t matter who APM supported before the election nor the position they took, the point is that they validly participated in the election (as of today) and therefore have every right to seek redress on the outcome of the election in whichever aspect they seem displeased with.

Again, if 14 days is not the window allowed for the nomination of a new candidate after the old candidate dies or withdraws, then how many days is it?

Why did the LP keep to the 14 days window in the case of their senatorial candidate that was assassinated in Enugu East,

Why did PDP keep to the 14 days window of their guber candidate that died in Abia,

But you think a different interpretation of the law can be made for Tinubu in the replacement of his running mate?

Shouldn’t the fact that a primary election is not required for the nomination of a Vice Presidential candidate be the reason it should have been faster rather than take 21 days?

pquaver:
We said it was ok cos hope proof his case if obi does why not.. But ur hypocrisy is saying 4th can't be first under no condition now it affects ur beloved obi u want 3rd to be 2st how!!!

Because what is good for the Jews, is good for Uganda.

fergie001:
It is a dead case, the Supreme Court has settled that.

The Supreme Court settled DOUBLE NOMINATION.

The Supreme Court did not adjudicate on INVALID NOMINATION.

The crux of the matter here is that the window allowed in law for substitution of a candidate who withdraws his candidacy is 14 days but Tinubu stayed 21 days.

APM’s argument is that for 7 days after the expiration of Constitutionally allowed 14 days, Tinubu was an invalid candidate which by implication invalidated his nomination entirely.

Was that what the Supreme Court adjudicated on?

garfield1:
You are becoming desperate and losing it son.nominstion is purely internal to a party

How is it internal that Tinubu was in INVALID candidate for 7 days?

pquaver:
@ d bold so years u condemn hope today u want same... I have said so hope was actually the winner. Did all things to discredit him.. Your own karma has landed on obi.. And he is going no where

Shebi we were saying it’s good bad but you people said it’s the best thing after dodo.

Now it has become a law binding on both us and you.

And you cannot choose to support it then and start disproving of it now.

fergie001:
It is a dead case, the Supreme Court has settled that.

APM will be fined for sure.

You are wrong sir. Try to read the details of the case. The matter has taken a different dimension from what the Supreme Court adjudicated on.

First, a combined reading of the Constitution and the Electoral Act shows that any party whose candidates resigns after the closure of nomination process has the total of 14 days to replace such candidate.

Now, both INEC and APC and Tinubu accepted in court that Ibrahim Masari who was APC Vice Presidential placeholder candidate tendered his resignation on 24th June, 2022.

Again, all parties agree that Kashim Shettima became the new Vice Presidential candidate on 14th July, 2022 (because they were running from double nomination so they denied it was on 6th July).

Now, between 24 June, 2022 - 14 July, 2022 is a total period of 21 days. That’s a whopping 7 days beyond the constitutionally provided window of 14 days.

Now, APM is arguing that as of the time that Kashim Shettima was nominated as Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu had ceased to be a valid presidential candidate having stayed 7 days without a Vice Presidential candidate which invalidated his candidacy.

Yoruba Ronu people won’t like this.😜

Maybe they will consider dispatching Asari Dokubo to Opobo to go and attack them.

Thank you Opobo people for making sure that the young generation of Opobo are taught their heritage.

Should he be begging them?

He should be warning them.

And dedicating 2 days a week for visitation is still too much.

People and their sycophancy around those in power.

Somebody becomes something and generations unknown starts showing up to claim relationship.

No one will try that nonsense with me.

pquaver:
Exactly what i have been saying.. Uzodima didnt go about chasing shadows of certificate, drugs, etc

Is Emeka Ihedioha a drug lord with forged certificates like your Tinubu?

anonymous1759:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 which kind yeye graph? Stop involving God In your delusional thinking.you guys should stop self harming yourselves with wishful thinking Obi is going nowhere until 2027 if he’s lucky enough. I don’t know what else you’ll say after Obi lost the final battle 😂😂 then you’ll cry fowl and ask for the Supreme Court to scrapped because of you people na only OBIDIENTs get Nigeria.

But do you now accept that the Supreme Court can adjudicate on Obi’s petition as failure to join Atiku is non issue based on judicial precedent?

BabaRamota1980:
When bringing discussions like this to the forum first apply your own logic to filter out contraventions in the story.

Uzodinma said his total votes were not fully accounted and was thus placed in the wrong rank. The burden of proof is on him to convince court that he earned the highest number of votes. Was he able to prove and obtain court's agreement? If he hadn't Ihedioha would not have been unseated, nor wiuld Uzodinma catapulted from behind to first place.

So you now have the burden on you to share with us if Uzondinma had merit or not.

In Obi's case. He goes on social media to say INEC rigged election for Tinubu, and he, Obi, scored more votes than Tinubu or Atiku.

But when he goes to court he files a completely different suit against Tinubu and INEC. He filed to suit to say because results were not uploaded on IREV this means results were rigged. He also said because VP had double nomination Tinubu should be disqualified. He filed petition that Tinubu was convicted of drug charges in US.

How do all these accusations prove rigging?

Beside, he has not even filed a petition to challenge Atiku results. If election was rigged by INEC against Obi, who is claiming to be the true winner, then the results of Tinubu and Atiku are contestable. Has Obi contested Atiku result? NO! But he keeps hollering on internet that his mandate was stolen.

Would Tinubu drug case in US restore his mandate? Would double nomination for Shettima restore mandate, or absence of results in Irev regain mandate back for Obi?

The guy is a joker, and you failed to see flaws in his case, inspite of the written address made public over 3days ago. Return and read the address.

Obi should have attacked authenticity of EC8As in states he claimed cheated him. Use EC8A to force INEC into corner. But he knew there was no weakness in the EC8A that could support him against INEC or his opponents, so he went for where he thought he would find weakness to get statutory victory....he forgot ...or perhaps he was not fully acquainted with the political ingenuity called Tinubu. He is finding out. You will soon discover yourself, and the obidients on internet waiting for this mandate to manifest out of thin air.

Bloody freaks!

All these long epistle are needless.

Face the meat of this thread.

Uzodimma came 4th and went to court without joining 2nd and 3rd positions and the Supreme Court gave him justice.

Therefore, you people’s claim that Obi’s case is defective because Atiku was not joined is flawed. QED.

garfield1:
Tinubu was expected to fail woefully in se SS but while he failed in se,he did well in ss getting 25% in 4 out of the 6.
Obi failed to get up to 20,000 in sokoto even though the sultan was his friend,failed in kebbi- where they are many christians in zuru emirate and parts of yauri,failed in katsina,jigawa,zamfara.he failed to get up to 50,000 in Kano where he should have gotten over 100k.he tried in kaduna by winning xtian dominated southern kaduna but failed to get 25%.he failed woefully in borno,yobe,bauchi.he was expected to get 25% in adamawa and gombe but failed.he tried in taraba though should have won.
Even in NC,he failed to get 20% in kwara,niger and even kogi that has many christians.he actually tried in niger by getting close to 100k.i wonder why he did so poorly in core north.even gej in 2015 got up to 100k in zamfara,kebbi,sokoto,jigawa,katsina,Kano and got 30% in kaduna.he got close to 100k in Bauchi,gombe,won taraba and got 40% in adamawa.why did obi fail?

Is “winning in core north” part of the constitutional requirements for the presidency?

Is this what is in contest at the tribunal?

I don’t even wanna talk about about how Tinubu got his votes in SS and your almighty “core north”.

I’m sure you are counting Rivers as part of the states he got the votes.

We will not stop talking about doing the right thing until all supporters of evil accept that evil is bad.

Our politics must stop being dirty.

BENEAMATA:
you clearly mentioned fct as having a QUASI-INDEPENDENT provisions yet you still posit that Abuja has special status in matters of election .QUASI - seemingly ,but not actually so - And finally , in which nigerian SAN dictionary does AND means 'separated from ' .The four of them AND i makes the five of us . ' the revenue is to be shared between the 36 state and FIRST BANK 'only means 37 of them are doing the sharing .

Exactly my point.

Now, can you share the revenue among 36 states and leave out First Bank because AND does not matter or is just semantics?

helinues:
See blackmailing. They blackmailed the voters, blackmailed INEC, SC is the next

So if SC disqualified Tinubu, Nigeria justice system is in order.. No wonder INEC is also in order as their decision did not favour una.

Election can only be credible if they won

Did you read the body of the article?

That’s what you should be reacting to and not what he said.

helinues:
Stop this quarter cleverness or should I say mischievousness, Nwosu withdrew his case and backed Uzodinma to remove Ihedioha.

I followed the proceedings on this forum. Stop feeding NL'S with half baked information

I should be the one advising you to stop feeding Nairalanders with falsehood.

I provided the charge sheet of Uzodimma case at the Supreme Court and you could see it clearly written that it was between Uzodimma and APC vs INEC, Ihedioha and PDP.

The Nwosu case you are talking about was a separate case that was against Uzodimma.

The question I’m asking you is, by INEC announcement….

Did Ihedioha come first or not?
Did Nwosu come second or not?
Did Ohakim come third or not?
And Uzodimma come fourth or not?

Now, in his petition, did Uzodimma join Nwosu and Ohakim who would suffer injury (according to your argument) if Uzodimma was to be elevated from 4th to 1st?

anonymous1759:
You guys never accepted it to be a precedent that’s why you kept on bashing hope uzodinma tagging him as a Supreme Court governor you never believed your favorite candidate will toll that part it’s more like you guys are licking your wounds after all the insults on HOPE.

FYI BAT has come to stay for another 4 yrs your candidate should try again he lost the elections your candidate only won in the biased mind of is supports who don’t want to admit when all evidence is glaring . PDP, NNPP,LP and the G5 governors scattered the votes if you can ignore all these factors and claim Obi won there’s no need having an augment with you.

At the bolded, what we accepted or refused to accept is immaterial to the place of the judgment in Nigerian jurisprudence.

The fact, which is tasting like ash in your mouth right now, is that the Imo judgment is now a judicial authority that is binding on both those who rejected and those who celebrated it.

Did you know a day would come you would wish the Imo Supreme Court robbery never happened?

God has been plotting his graph all along.

helinues:
Penguin, you know no be today, I don't play such kind of politics. Only few people participated in the Imo supreme court proceedings, I was surprised by the judgement and also condemned it cos it was a day light robbery.

What you supported or did not support is immaterial now.

What is an established fact right now is that the Uzodimma case of Imo state is now a judicial precedent that shall be cited by petitioners for a long time to come.

And in that petition, the Supreme Court returned 4th position as 1st position even though the 2nd and 3rd positions were not joined.

Wasn’t that the basis of your thread?

garfield1:
Obi has failed

This is the only argument you can come up with?

Well, my job is to burst all the escape route you are preparing for the judges.

Uzodimma was declared without joining candidates above him. Same will be done for Obi.

ronalmagic10:
You've indicted yourself. Hope Uzodinma went to court with the figures that were removed from his votes. He also showed evidence and the supreme court gave judgement in his favor

In the case of LP and Peter Obi they never showed the figures that were missing from their votes, no evidence or anything so how can the court declare them the winner of the election?

Indictment you say?

Are you sure you know the purpose of this post?

The purpose is to dispel the erroneous assertion that Obi not joining Atiku who came second in his petition renders it invalid. And I supported it with a Supreme Court precedent of where a candidate who came 4th in an election sued only the winner without joining the 2nd and 3rd position candidates and he still got justice which invalidates that spurious claim you lots have been making.

Then about figures, Uzodimma went to court claiming that his votes from 388 units were excluded. He didn’t give Supreme Court figures, the Supreme Court did by themselves.

So where is the self indictment?

“In trying to run away from DOUBLE NOMINATION, the APC ran into INVALID NOMINATION.”

After the Supreme Court ruled on PDP’s case on Shettima’s Double Nomination suit, most Nigerians wrote off the APM Petition at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal as being a waste of court’s time but emerging facts about the details of their petition has shown that their petition might be the dark horse that might bite Tinubu and the APC the deepest.

First, a combined reading of the Constitution and the Electoral Act shows that any party whose candidates resigns after the closure of nomination process has the total of 14 days to replace such candidate.

Now, both INEC and APC and Tinubu accepted in court that Ibrahim Masari who was APC Vice Presidential placeholder candidate tendered his resignation on 24th June, 2022.

Again, all parties agree that Kashim Shettima became the new Vice Presidential candidate on 14th July, 2022 (because they were running from double nomination so they denied it was on 6th July).

Now, between 24 June, 2022 - 14 July, 2022 is a total period of 21 days. That’s a whopping 7 days beyond the constitutionally provided window of 14 days.

Now, APM is arguing that as of the time that Kashim Shettima was nominated as Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu had ceased to be a valid presidential candidate having stayed 7 days without a Vice Presidential candidate which invalidated his candidacy.

If Tinubu is not disqualified by the Court, forget about justice in Nigeria.

I have carefully perused the Petition of APM versus Tinubu, Shetima, APC and INEC and all I can say is that it appeared too mundane, but carries the strongest venom against Tinubu, Shetima, APC and INEC.

Many looked down on the case and say that the Supreme Court has already determined the issue of double nomination. However, a close look at the Petition will show that the case was never about double nomination of Shetima, but one of invalid nomination. The core of the case is that as at the time Tinubu nominated his running mate, he himself was no longer a candidate by virtue of the a combine provisions of the Constitution and Electoral Act, 2022 in Section 142 (1) and Section 33 of the Constitution and Electoral Act, respectively.

Let me bring you closer to the fact, law and the Petition before Court of Appeal by the APM. Due to the impression created about double nomination, the APC and Tinubu, in concert with INEC have presented a case before the Supreme Court that got them out of the trap of double nomination. However, in the there bid to escape double nomination, they fell into INVALID NOMINATION.

Follow me, patiently. Now, in the pleadings and final address, one fact remained consistent and undoubtedly solid as all the parties are in concurrence. The 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th Respondents all agreed that the "placeholder" Alhaji Masari, withdrew as Vice Presidential placeholder on 24th of June, 2022. They also all agreed that the replacement was made on 14th July, 2022. It is not debatable that between the withdrawal and replacement, a period of 21 days lapsed.

Now, Section 142 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) provides that a Presidential Candidate is not qualified if he has not nominated another person to run with him/her as Vice President. So, without a Vice Presidential Candidate duly selected by the Presidential Candidate, the ticket is useless. So, in order to beat this provision and other requirements for time in the Electoral Act, 2022 that APC invented what we now call the "Placeholder" to secure the Presidential ticket. For the period before his replacement, Alhaji Masari was the Vice Presidential Candidate of the APC in the eyes of our laws. This was why he had to also explore the provision of the Electoral Act, 2022 to withdraw as Vice Presidential Candidate on the 24th of June, 2022.

Now, Section 33 of the Electoral Act, 2022 is also visible to the blind as it mandate a political party whose Candidate withdraws to replace such a candidate within 14 days. 14 days is 14 days and no Court can extend such a time for anyone. It is just like time for election petition can not be extended by any court.

APM is simply saying that as at the 14th day of July, 2022 APC had no valid Candidate for President as its Vice Presidential Candidate withdrew 21 days before a replacement was made, instead of within 14 days. You see, this is our law and no court can amend it because of one person. This is a clear case of power coming from God.

While they attempted to evade double nomination, they fell into INVALID NOMINATION. Isn't God's way above the ways of man?

A perusal of INEC's final address reveals the disgraceful partisan posture of an institution that ought to be neutral. INEC shamelessly claimed that APM did not plead that APC replaced its Vice Presidential Candidate outside 14 days allowed by law. But, luckily, the Petition was handy for APM to point INEC's blind eyes to the portion of the petition where the facts were copiously pleaded. What remains?

Now, the law, the facts and the case are all against the Candidacy of Tinubu and no one can say otherwise. I only wait to see how the law Lords will deal with this. It will be interesting to see a contrary position from what the law clearly is. But what do I know?

What happened in Imo state can only happen in SE.

That's the bitter truth some of you guys don't want to hear.

Using Imo state as a reference case to presidential election is just too ridiculous

Oh! “It can only happen in SE.”

The audacity of you lots denigrating Southeast with reckless abandon is simply awestricking. Every dog now feels it can bark at the Igbos without consequences. But for how long?

Meanwhile, have you now seen and accepted that opening a thread to call Peter Obi’s petition was you exhibiting ignorance of highest grandeur because there is a judicial precedent to what Obi is asking for.

What is good for Imo is good for Nigeria.

anonymous1759:

Wonders sha never end suddenly you guys are using Hope Uzodinma you all mocked as a Supreme Court governor to reference Obi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you guys are praying day and night to have a Supreme Court president same Supreme Court you never believed in hypocrisy at it’s peak.

It doesn’t matter how we felt or what we said, is the judgment a judicial precedent or not?

One of the most abhorrable arguments by the supporters of Tinubu and APC is that Peter Obi of Labour Party who came third in the last presidential election is praying the presidential tribunal to declare him the duly elected president from the election after proper recount of ballot, without joining the candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, who came second in the election who, according to them, will suffer injury should the court declare Obi who came third above himself who came second.

But I just want to remind this people of the judgment of the Supreme Court that is as recent as 2020 which they celebrated so much by the way.

In January of 2020, the Supreme Court sacked Emeka Ihedioha from Imo Government House and declared Hope Uzodimma after they accepted the latter’s prayer that his votes were unlawfully canceled by INEC.

In that petition, Mr Hope Uzodimma did not join Tony Nwosu of the AA who came second in that election, neither did he join Ikedi Ohakim of APGA who came third in the election, he took only the winner to court.

Now, in delivering her verdict, did the Supreme Court care about the injury that would be suffered by those who were originally declared second and third should a man declared fourth in the election be declared winner? No. The Supreme Court simply added the votes that Uzodimma has been claiming were unlawfully canceled and discovered that he was not supposed to be 4th in the first place but 1st, which disappeared the question of injury since the petitioner simply took his right position after the proper recalculation of votes.

I write this just to tell Tinubu supporters and their lawyers that they can’t be picking and choosing which judicial precedent to use and which to discard. There’s nothing unconstitutional, vexatious nor novel about the prayers of Obi before the Tribunal.

Why would Peter Obi file a petition against Tinubu and INEC while neglecting Atiku?

A 3rd candidate looking for a stolen mandate, so after winning Tinubu at supreme court, then the battle will now Begins between the 2nd and 3rd candidate... When there is even nothing as such in our constitution.

Even if Peter Obi's petition is substantial, how would one advice the judges to rule on the matter without going against our constitution?

In the suit that the Supreme Court used in returning Uzodimma as the governor of Imo State, did Uzodimma join Tony Nwosu of AA who came second and the APGA candidate who came third, in his suit or he sued only Ihedioha who was declared by INEC?

I know Lawyers twist Law to suit whatever position they are taking... but then a simple Question for you sir... Do you sincerely in your mind think the spirit or intention of that particular line of the constitution is to elevate thr FCT above others States in Nigeria? I hope you would be kind enough to answer this question.

Have you ever heard of the report by a committee set up specially for the FCT?

Again I ask you, there are other instances the constitution referred to the “36 states of the federation and the FCT” like revenue allocation and all, are you saying therefore, that the RAMFAC is at liberty to share to “36 states of the federation” and leave out “the FCT” and they wouldn’t have broken a law?

Again, why does INEC conduct FCT Local Government elections, something the commission does not do for any other state of the federation?

Tareq1105:
I ask you, did the constitution says:

"25% in 2/3 of the states and 'in' the FCT"


or


"25% in 2/3 of the states and the FCT"?

I expect you to know that they are not the same.

There are other instances the constitution referred to the “36 states of the federation and the FCT” like revenue allocation and all, are you saying therefore, that the RAMFAC is at liberty to share to “36 states of the federation” and leave out “the FCT” and they wouldn’t have broken a law since, according to you, maybe there is no “and to” the FCT?

Tareq1105:
It was laid on Friday. Calculate 10 days from 5th July.

Let Obi release his on Friday that's 7 days after.

You know what I advise you get full report of the address. Wole Olanipekun actually dealt with all the issues with decided cases.

Wole Olanipekun address doesn't need the applause of obidients or social media. Rather it's addressed to the Tribunal Justices who are not on social media. They are based on what we all saw in the court. The only addition is the decided cases.

Let's see what Obi and Atiku would say in response meanwhile obidients can continue to keep deceiving fellow Obi supporters.

It will be laid today in court Mr Man.

You lots have no clue of what is going on in court, that’s why you make the arguments you make.

The illegalities conducted by INEC in the 2023 elections are just sensationally legendary. The most annoying thing is the overt denying of these electoral criminality

I’ve said it many times…

If the judiciary do their job, by the end of the Tribunals:

Nigeria will have a new president

Enugu will have a new governor

Nasarawa will have a new governor

Kaduna will have a new governor

Ogun will have a new governor

And even Lagos is looking dicey too.

We keep our gaze on the judiciary.

The constitution didn't give a special status to Abuja, as Abuja resident cannot have super power than other Nigerians. The "and" is a semantics that the Obis and others are taking advantage of because it is ambiguous. Can be interpreted 2 ways. Allow the judge to do the interpretation. According to you if a candidate wins all state with 97% votes each state but fail to have 25% in Abuja, he can't be a president? Do how ludicrous it is to interpret the "and" this way?

There are other instances the constitution referred to the “36 states of the federation and the FCT” like revenue allocation and all, are you saying therefore, that the RAMFAC is at liberty to share to “36 states of the federation” and leave out “the FCT” and they wouldn’t have broken a law since, according to you, AND is just semantics?
