Is it true that the 25% FCT case was thrown out by the courts against Peter Obi?
Chineke mee ebere. Penguin2 is there still hope for us to take our stolen mandate back? Please can somebody renew my hope in our cases at the tribunal.

I don’t believe you are Igbo nor an Obi supporter but I will try to answer your question; not for your sake per se but for the sake of others.

What the Federal High Court ruled was that it had no Jurisdiction to entertain the case since the matter was already before the Presidential Election Petition Court which is a higher court than the High Court.

Secondly, the court ruled that those who brought the matter lacked the locus standi to institute the matter in the first place since they were not candidates in the election.

Now, the ruling of this court has absolutely no effect on the case of Peter Obi before the PEPC. Every ground of Obi’s petition is still alive as of this moment I’m speaking with you.

So, don’t gloat, I’d advise you enjoy your Tinubu government with a suspended breath because Obi is coming.

Since the end of the 2023 general elections where result from the Southeast showed that the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the election, Peter Obi, scored about 98% of votes cast in the region, opposition party supporters have accused the region of turning in such voting pattern because Peter Obi is Igbo. They accuse the region of not giving votes to other candidates.

But are their allegations true or mischievous and outrightly malicious?

To answer the above question we need to take a retrospective look at how the Southeast has always voted since 1999.

In 1999, the Southeast voted Obasanjo only.
In 2003, the Southeast voted Obasanjo only again.
In 2007, the Southeast voted Yaradua only.
In 2011, the Southeast voted Jonathan only.
In 2015, the Southeast voted Jonathan only again.
In 2019, the Southeast voted Atiku only.
And then, in 2023, the Southeast voted Peter Obi only.

From the above, you can clearly see that over the years, once the Southeast people choose a candidate they vote in one direction for that candidate without splitting their votes.

Again, since 1999, 2023 is the only time they voted for a candidate from the region. Other times they have always voted non-Igbos.

Just so we get a better perspective of what we are talking about, in 2003, Ojukwu ran for the presidency under APGA but the Southeast didn’t vote for him.

In that same 2003, Buhari had an Igbo running mate but the Southeast didn’t vote for him.

In 2007, Orji Uzor Kalu ran for the presidency under PPA but the Southeast didn’t vote for him.

In that same year, Buhari once again chose an Igbo running mate but the Southeast didn’t vote for him.

Still in the same 2007, Atiku had an Igbo running mate, Ben Obi, but the southeast still didn’t vote for him.

The Southeast voted for Yaradua instead. Yaradua was from the Northwest and had an Ijaw man from the Southsouth but the Southeast voted for him over other tickets that had Igbos on them.

Then, the only one time Igbos voted an Igbo man, they have been called tribalists and whatever names.

And the question is why?

Parachoko:
Will they let people be importing rice, Tomato etc? They banned people from bringing in stuffs like that through the borders

I think we will have to wait and see.

Some men of the Ebonyi Police Command have been caught on camera trying to forcibly arrest two young men that seemed to be walking along the streets in Abakaliki. However, when the two young men resisted the attempted arrest, they (police) descended on them in full force in other to force them into their truck.

And so the question continues, when will police brutality end in Nigeria?

The faction backed by the governor will prevail

The faction that had the Mace will prevail.

That’s the Legislative Symbol of Authority. Anything done in its absence is null and void.

The people that had the mace had a valid sitting.

Location is immaterial.

And before you talk about majority, remember that 9 Members elected Speaker in Edo in 2015 and the court didn’t remove him.

Meanwhile, Abdullahi Sule should know he’s on borrowed time in Nasarawa.

He stole the people’s mandate and he must relinquish it.

Davematics is coming!

Rest In Peace Poor little beauty.

Acting on the directives of President Tinubu, officials of Nigerian Customs have been captured in a video showing moment they opened the Idiroko border which is considered one of the busiest, if not the busiest, Nigerian land borders.

Recall that former president Buhari had ordered the closing of all Nigerian land border after he won re-election in 2019 which caused the skyrocketing of prices of commodities that were hitherto brought into the country through those borders.

Criticism had however trailed the claim, in some quarters, that while the order of the president to close land borders were obeyed to the letter in southern borders, the same was not the case northern borders as some alleged that some highly placed individuals were still able to bring in some commodities through northern borders.

Well, those allegations and counter allegations are now over as President Tinubu has ordered the opening of all borders.

We hope that trade would resume across those borders and that some commodities that their prices have been skyrocketing due to their scarcity occasioned by the border closure, will become more available which would also cause the prices to come down. One of such commodity is rice (foreign rice if you please).

Nsukka people voted for Edeoga and not Enugu people.
Carry chair sit-down dey wait for MBA to be booted out and u go wait tire.
Na straight 8yrs for lion building

So Nsukka people are from Sokoto🤔?

Earthquakes:
It is your job to provide the rigging with proof the way PO is doing, or is it hard to get?
How come you didn't mention nasarawa, Abuja, Lagos, Niger, platue, he rigged all the places including Tinubu Lagos and buhari Abuja even with FG INEC, PO must be a genius ode..
Before you said he will not even win any state apart from SE

Who are you talking to?🤔

Bia nwokem, stop all this rubbish that you use to write here.

Your former principal, Madam Ugwuanyi, was a colossal failure; the worst mistake Enugu has ever made in her history.

His performance was so abysmal that writing his score on a card would be card abuse😏.

The idiot he supported and rigged in to succeed him, Mbah, will soon be booted out.

Enugu voted for Edeoga!

And Edeoga is coming!

PussyKing:
Ganduje was caught live on Video in recieving cash in dollars as bribe.

Does immunity still covers Ganduje that he has not been arrested till now??

Is Tinubu going to be shielding corrupt politicians??

You are talking about your next Minister of FCT o.

Lol! Look at you hoping on Tinubu to prosecute his own men.

The last person that did that was Obasanjo.

Ajagunakin:
Ogbeni, face your front and mind your business. You are talking too much, don’t speak on things you know nothing about.

I tell you facts and name names, and your only response is to throw tantrums?

Clearly shows how deficient your argument is and that’s why you no longer speak to facts.

Confirmedzombie:
But obi rigged well in Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi where one person signed result sheets of different polling units.

We are patiently waiting for Obi witnesses to start testifying.

That's where his case would end as all will flop.

Obi lost the elevtion, let him go and rest as he can never be Nigeria president

You lots are just funny characters.

Once they post anything in your WhatsApp group like this, that’s how all of you will carry it without thinking if it makes sense or if it’s senseless.

You guys were told in your WhatsApp group to keep saying it everywhere that Obi rigged in the Southeast. But have consistently countered you by telling you that Obi’s votes in the Southeast was actually reduced as they did in other states but you have never listened.

Now, when the case began in court, your Tinubu did not tell the court that Obi rigged in the East and that he wants to challenge his votes in the states of the East.

Obi now decided to help you guys by bringing the results of Ebonyi and Imo to court so that you people can now tell court how he rigged, but you are still complaining.

Is this not the opportunity for you people to show the court how Obi rigged Ebonyi and Imo?

Keyamo is an idiot.

An errand boy.

An illiterate who has never won a single case as a lawyer.

A dunce who consistently failed the screening to be made a SAN to he used political power through Buhari government to acquire the title.

Unfortunately, he is the idol of Tinubu Owambe boys. They worship and venerate him like god and swallow every trash he dishes out hook, line and sinker.

Keyamo is a disgrace to human race.

A disgrace to the legal profession.

And a waste of space on earth.

But would Tinubu Owambe stop worshipping him? Never!

Ajagunakin:
Oponu, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t blame Tinubu for all the negatives (agberos etc) in Lagos and then not give him credit for the positives. You can’t say he removed Ambode and not give him credit for others he put there that have performed since he laid down his blueprint for the transformation of lagos in which others have followed.

Can you remind me why Ambode was booted out again?🤔

Was it not because you lots, through Tinubu’s instruction of course, accused Ambode of abandoning the imaginary blueprint to follow his own?

You guys were told to insult him for abandoning the Blue and Red Light Rail to go and build Transport Interchange at Oshodi, and also for building up Epe.

But today, that Oshodi interchange is one of the first things you guys use in campaigning for Tinubu.

Ajagunakin:
You are a lost cause.

Ambode should go and put his name on Oshodi idiot.

Oh!

Is Tinubu’s name at Oshodi 🤔?

Ajagunakin:
Tinubu did not build Lagos state from scratch but he transformed Lagos from the decayed state it was into the modern commercial hub it is now. Why don’t you want him to do the same at the federal level? Don’t you want a better Nigeria anymore?

The Oshodi you are posting was built by Ambode who Tinubu booted out of office.

How did his achievements in office become Tinubu’s achievements?

Make una dey try get shame na

garfield1:
If I remember carefully,,the adjournment was called for by obi's lawyers who even appealed that Saturday shouldn't count for them.yiu have left obi now to grv? You simply can't take what you dish out.i remember you claiming that tambuwal was decimating wamakko during the campaigns.you are just too emotional for politics,comot body jor.

I hate the way you talke sometimes.

Sometimes you can just be a big disappointment in the way you reason.

It was the Respondents’ Lawyers that called for adjournment and not Obi Lawyers.

Obi Lawyers were trying to insist that the case should continue on Saturday but the Respondents’ lawyers insisted on Saturday being spared for them to take some rest at which Obi lawyers told the court that that day should not count for them. So where did you get the narrative that it was Obi lawyers that called for an adjournment?

And talking about GRV, I mentioned his case in passing because Wole Olanipekun who was telling the PEPC that he needed rest on Saturday ended up showing up at Lagos Tribunal to defend Sanwolu. Now you are talking trash.

I think it was just my fault that I expected a Tinubu supporter to be reasonable and objective.

All these trash you guys are talking are just trash.

That NLC owns the Labour Party does not negate the fact that what the NLC is fighting for is genuine.

So, rest.

Thank God!

For the sake of Peter Obi’s case in court, I don’t want the strike.

Freighthost:
amen


Too bad to wait anoda 8yr after 8yr of hell frm bubu cow

Not really.

We may not have to wait for 8 years.

Miracle can happen anytime.

Freighthost:
thanks

May God be with you my brother.

Just keep keeping faith.

Our God works in mysterious ways.

Acekidc4:
Thank God you spoke the Truth, even 150k is still on the high side for now, Maybe we should do 90k or 100k. That's viable at least.

We function only by reason and objectivity right here.

We are not like you people who would see white and call it black just to spite Obi.

chinos20:
Imagine!
What's his loss if they come out and start shooting sporadically at any one at sight.The best thing to do is know yourself and let others know themselves

Simple.

I don’t know why he’s fixated on forcing people into harm’s way.

Tinubu is obviously going to run a government of criminals by criminals and for criminals.

Himself is a drug lord.

His Chief of Staff is a convicted pilferer.

Asari Dokubo, his new found greatest supporter, is a stupid and criminal fat pig.

His new found allies, Wike and co, are shameless election riggers and murderers.

He invited an ex convict, James Ibori, to the villa the other day.

What does that say of the kind of government Tinubu wants to run?

sreamsense:
You can open thread for other states he won so we can come over to contribute. At moment, this thread is talking about imo and Ebonyi from south east. There is no mention of Calabar, Lagos here on this thread, always apply your senses to stick to the thread. If Jamb gives you two hours to answer four subjects, but inside exam Hall; you were answering ten subjects only to discover that your subject combinations have not even be touched because of insufficient time. If you fail, will you blame JAMB or your ancestors for failure? As for Imo and Ebonyi Op, that's the reason; you can open another thread on Lagos or Calabar and asks us to contribute.

Would you stop that rigmarole?

You said that out of all the states he won, Obi is only contesting Ebonyi and Imo just to save face. And I put it to you that your assertion was informed by your poor knowledge of the goings on of the Tribunal proceedings. Because if you had been following the Tribunal proceedings, you would have known that Obi is contesting results of 18 states and that includes other states he won apart from Ebonyi and Imo.

Using your analogy of a classroom, should teacher teach you everything in class before you know them? Aren’t you supposed to read things up by yourself as a student?

So, saying your response was informed by what is contained in the body of OP’s thread holds no water.

Maybe 200k is a little too high.

For me, realistically, minimum wage should be non-negotiably 150k.

sreamsense:
LP can only deceive brainless people with the kind of logic they applied here. LP purposely puts Imo and Ebonyi so that people won't say why is LP only criticizing where they lost, what of where they won? They are not expecting changes in these two states because LP won at presidential, they were only included so people won't ask them why they don't have problems with where they won, except where they lost? Unfortunately, PDP is challenging LP in those areas LP won so that fraud obi used to win 97% can be uncovered

What a pathetic way to reason.

Did you not hear that Obi is contesting the votes of Lagos? Who won Lagos?

Did you not hear he’s contesting the votes of Cross River? Who won in Cross River?

Did you not hear he’s contesting the votes of Nasarawa? Who won in Nasarawa?

Did you not hear he’s contesting the votes of Delta? Who won in Delta?

You see, the problem of you guys is that you listen to people who feed you junk and would never allow you be objective in your assessment of events.

That’s why you are doing this to yourself in public.

Pele!

Stupid errand boy.

A lawyer and a SAN who doesn’t know basic law.

See the characters that Tinubu Owambe take advise from.

Pathetic 🤦

Why are all these unions led by Igbos?🤔🧐

Is this some sort of coincidence or what?

Because Tinubu and his Owambe boys will be viewing everything they do from the ethnic prism instead of their altruistic intentions for the welfare of their members.
