Firstorderwizard: Go and read the details of Uzodimma's supreme court judgement. INEC's own result was rejected and the result tendered by Uzodimma was approved simply because he was able to prove to the court that his results was changed in a few polling units. Forget about the emotional brouhaha, Uzodimma proved his case.
Exactly!
Uzodimma proved his case. He had good lawyers.
The one thing that gave him victory in that case was that the Electoral Act 2010 (which was used for the election), says that every cancellation of election results must happen at Polling Unit level. Uzodimma bought up all the Presiding Officers sent to his entire zone and got them to endorse a brazenly fictitious result. Now, when things got to the Local Government Collation Centre, the Local Government Returning Officer canceled those results; an unlawful act.
HarunaWest: Nothing will be cancelled. The courts will admit what was uploaded as evidence and not what was snapped from polling units. If INEC did work for a party, it's the PDP or LP. Where you not in this country in year 2003 and 2007 when Obasanjo rigged PDP into power? That is what you call rigging. An election that the major parties shared 12 states each wasn't rigged. There were infractions here and there, manipulation and voter bribery but that wouldn't change much the overall outcome of the election. If only the LP and our party PDP merged before the election and one of the candidates stepped down, things would have taken a different turn. Both parties didn't even meet up to the required 25% spread in 2/3 of states. The tribuna will just ask for isolated recounts in some polling units or throw the case out entirely . Make we prepare for 2027.
JAMO84: Anything Igbo see in Lagos and Yoruba land from now on, they should take it like that, they brought it upon themselves. No Igbo will dare refer to any Hausa state as no man's land, they will use knife to write no man's land on his face.
From next Saturday, Lagos indegines will prove to everyone who actually own Lagos. Even I, a Yoruba from Osun state living in Lagos have never feel like I own the place, let alone someone that crossed many Rivers to get to Lagos.
Do you have proof of any Igbo saying that Lagos is a no man’s land?
OKOATA: Don't mind urchins with their eshinshin brain, I assure you BAT won't wear that crown 👑. Na who wear belt be champion 🏆 and na Obi will collect his mandate and wear that crown. I see Obi as the President of Nigeria come what may. Let urchins keep rejoicing, majority of them will go into oblivion. Urchins with their tsetse fly brain.
Lol’
Results on INEC IREV portal is already contradicting a lot of the figures allocated to APC.
Maybe that’s why they’ve been quiet all along.
They’ve been uncharacteristically cold these days.
First he admitted there was mago mago and wuru wuru, but that the president was not part of it.
Second, he admitted that INEC resorted to “manual collation”. An action against the Electoral Act.
Third, he’s telling Tinubu urchins that if it is proven that Tinubu fraudulently got himself declared through mago mago, that President Buhari will not think twice in coming for Tinubu’s head🤣.
Cryptic message already emerging.
Next few days to next few months will be interesting.😎
vicdom: I trust Igbo people nah, they are the last people anyone can intimidate in this world. I know that some that would even want to vote Sanwolu will even change their minds seeing all these. This will certainly be counterproductive. Igbos are obvious the last people you would bully.
Lol!
Buhari with all his presidential powers tried for 7 years to bend us to submission but failed e come be Sanwolu 😏
Faber: Labour Party's Otti will beat this drunkard blue black with a margin of 500k votes 😁😁
RIP PDP in Abia State LP have 6/9 Reps in Abia State and 1 Senator, na to capture the State remain...and the job must be done on 11th March
Okezie Ikpeazu lost in Abia to the current Labour Party candidate in 2015 but Theodore Orji led policemen to INEC collation center, when INEC halted collation due to evidence of massive rigging, and got Ikpeazu declared.
It will be so easy for Abia people to vote for Otti.
Mraphel: LP party rigged the most in this election. Let's keep our fingers crossed and watch things unfold.
Is it not in ebonyi they ran off with ballot papers?
Is it not in d east some women singing and thumb printing LP without bvas.
Is not in east an elderly man was threatened for voting APC.
Is it not in east Okeke Cynthia rigged for a pooling unit
Is it not in the east two men were killed during the election?
Several more will be unravel soon.
That’s why we want APC to agree to LP’s prayer that the entire election should be annulled because it was fraught with irregularities.
We want INEC to redo the election nationwide. Only that this time they should deploy Electoral Materials to every polling units in the Southeast and transmit from every polling unit in the country to the IREV so that you people can catch Labour Party’s ‘rigging’.
Windscribe: This guy penguin or whatever is the biggest loser I've ever seen, how can somebody be this shameless?
This vagabond has been taking L since Apc crisis under Buni led committee.
Egbon, pls rest, you're now becoming a nuisance on NL.
The yahoo boy who has been cashing out from defrauding people of their hard earned money and making fun of the poor boy engaging in legitimate hustle in the streets will meet his Waterloo sooner or later.
I will always stand on the side of truth no matter the outcome.
During APC primaries, the best aspirants were Osinbajo and Amaechi. But Tinubu bought the ticket.
In the just concluded elections, Tinubu lost but was rigged in.
These things are wrong and I will never stop saying they are wrong because you are gloating over your dubious achievements.
One day, truth will triumph over lies, and light triumph over darkness; and that day will be the end of darkness.
“No matter how long the night lasts, day will surely break.”
OfoIgbo: Only INEC/APC has/have access to the INEC server, so any result uploaded to INEC server is already suspect. There is no single evidence to prove that LP rigged, afterall they don't have access to the INEC server. INEC/APC staffs are just planting incriminating evidence in the INEC server to give people the wrong impression that LP rigged, when LP has no access to the INEC server.
Don’t mind them.
Today is one week after the elections and they still haven’t uploaded 100% of polling units results.
How do we trust that what they are uploading are what truly transpired at those polling units in Abia?
Supporters of APC have been throwing a poorly scripted propaganda against Labour Party around, that Labour rigged elections in Southeast.
The latest is the claim that a certain Cynthia Okeke signed for LP in 6 polling units in Abia. But this is same INEC portal where results from Nasarawa was posted in Lagos and other mix ups. How are we sure this is not their handiwork?
However, this argument of theirs actually goes on to corroborate Labour Party’s claim that the 2023 elections was flawed and should be canceled. Unfortunately APC is scared of this.
Or what would be APC’s prayer in court with their almighty Abia evidence? That ”we rigged, but Labour Party and even PDP rigged too. But since we were the highest riggers who got our candidate declared, just allow us enjoy the fruits of the flawed elections?
It’s like your neighbour accusing you of stealing a goat. And you go to court not to deny stealing a goat but to tell the court that your neighbour also stole a chicken. Will the courts say, “okay, since both of you are thieves, go and enjoy what you stole (ojoro cancel ojoro)” or jail the both of you for stealing?.
Is tendering evidence of rigging against opposition party not a testament to the claim of the same opposition party that the election was flawed?
Now, all these would have been avoided had INEC adhered to there own guidelines for the election by transmitting results directly from the polling units. ‘Cynthia Okeke’ wouldn’t have had the time to sign 6 documents.
Shey una don see say APC and their supporters no get sense?
shortgun: Electronic transmissions of polling unit results is just a mere guideline not supported by law according to the APC.
The mandate thieves forget that guidelines become laws once they are issued by a body empowered by law to do so.
They forget that guidelines are backed by the constitution, this is why INEC is given the power to make them by the electoral Act.
If the laws gives you power to make guidelines and regulations they become binding once you make them! Just like laws!
They forget that it is deceitful for INEC to issue guidelines for elections then turn around and do the opposite.
Guidelines and regulations are binding on events on which they are issued unless vacated and new ones issued for the same event.
The discretion that the constitution gives INEC only means no new legislation will be required for issuance of guidelines for future elections... INEC indeed is at discretion to issue guidelines and they become legal once they are issued, it will be illigal for INEC or any party to go against valid guideline.
Section 60(5) of the electoral Act 2022 The presiding officer shall transfer the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the Commission.
Some questions for APC and INEC; At what point during elections did the official guidelines by INEC became invalid? Were new guidelines issued, communicated to political parties and eligible voters? What was the new guidelines?
APC and INEC are trying to be cleaver by half, Unless the judges are comprised, the argument that guidelines are not supported by law doesn't hold water.
Fine, who ignores its own guideline midway into a contest or an exercise where you are meant to be an impartial umpire?
Can the Commission “prescribe” guidelines antithetical, and at variance, with the law?
