fergie001:Ask yourself, Is the election that Jonathan supposedly wants to contest, is it in the past or future? If it is the future, then why are we going to use an old law?, the new law says Jonathan is not eligible to contest. |

sapele914:I don't want to be drawn into long unnecessary argument on this. I know the basis of my argument and can defend anywhere, anyday and anytime. Perhaps u guys forgot that the former Governor of Yobe State Alh Geidam finished the tenure of his boss Late Senator Mamman Ali who died less than a year into his tenure. Then ran for the office of Governor for two more terms before handing over in 2019 to Mai Mala Bunni. He was not disqualified, the constitutional provision was also there. |

sapele914:It is settled law that the applicable law is the law in existence at the time the cause of action arose and not the law in force at the time of instituting the action or time of judgment. |

sapele914:Pre-election matters are to be filed no more than 14 days after the cause of action, counsel. Section 285 of the 1999 CFRN is sacrosanct and the case is dismissed. |

fergie001:A man that is prohibited from contesting by the provisions of section 137(3) of the 4th alteration of the Constitution 1999 as Amended? I was told the reason the white man, hid knowledge in the volumes of books, was because he knew that the black man will not read. |

eldoradoxx: I won’t join words with you. I simply asked that you speak on the provision of the constitution that he is not allowed to take Oath of office more than twice. But then let me ask; “if the law was amended to the effect that only a PhD holder can contest for the position of the President in 2019, will you say that because you contested with your OND certificate in 2015 before the law was enacted, you are, therefore , qualified to run for the office of the President in 2023?” Your answer will determine my next response. 1 Like 1 Share |

eldoradoxx: 99 constitution? Do you think Jonathan would have allowed such when he had the senate behind him? You think it's easy to amend constitution? It was made in 99. Stop saying what you don't know. 1 Like 1 Share

sapele914:We don't read, that's why especially when we see write-ups with references, esp something like this; ...But it should be emphasised that an interpretation giving a retrospective effect to a statute’ should not be readily accepted where that would affect vested rights or impose liability or disqualification for past events. ...we just look away. Yes, you are very correct. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

fergie001:The man is talking thrash as usual. ThankGod he accepted that the constitutional amendment alteration signed in 2018 by buhari can't be retrospective on GEJ who left office in 2015. It then takes us to our constitution which says you can't be have more than two terms of 4 years each. The question is whether Jonathan has had 2 terms of four years. Completing Yaradua's tenure of 1year can't be termed 4 years. This same matter was raised during the buildup of 2015 election but it was eventually put to rest, I wonder why this man likes talking bumbum everytime. |

fergie001:In my opinion he is right GJ completed Yarafua tenure and took oath of office as the president .Later he took his second oaath in 2014. How many times will he take oath as the president ? Section 139 FF is explicit enough to disqualify him. |

ejimatic:I don't think so. I don't know where people get the perception of not taking oath more than twice. Geidam took his oath of office thrice. The Constitution in 137(1)b: A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if he has been ELECTED to such office at any two previous elections; Was Jonathan elected President in 2010? He only became President by virtue of S146(1) & not by Election. The word is "hold the office". Be that as it may, with the new Act, the law is not retrospective, and must be seen as true, just and fair. |
