If them born Obituary papa make he try to raise funds from diaspora for election. He will be thought the biggest lessons of his life and his supporters wouldn't be able to save him.

An idiotic empty barrel making the loudest noise. Goat

Did Obi directly or indirectly beg anyone for monetary support towards his campaign? The answer is no meaning that anybody that donates to his campaign do so out of his or her willingness. Peter Obi may probably not know of such donations too. Obedients were formed by ordinary people and not Obi and so however they want to source funds to a achieve their aim of forming the group is not Obi's business. Mpbody should rope him into something he knows nothing about. Agbado urchins should focus more on Tinubu bullion van and leave PO alone.

Cry cry baby I want to see my mommy shaaaaame

The Festus Ogun who wrote this stupid legal opinion was called to the bar last year. If anyone thinks this kindergarten legal opinion is the correct position of the law, no problem.

When the time comes, you will see the consequences. Let them keep collecting donations from foreign donors. Stupid Agulu thief collecting money as if he's running an NGO.

Hotfreeze:
They are not donations. The law is specific on donations not investments.

A politician steals from Nigeria's coffers, invests the money abroad, repatriates the money for political campaign in Nigeria.
Such a politician is committing heinous crime against the people of Nigeria.

His acts are not on the same page with the other politician who receives private donations from Nigerians abroad to fund his political pursuit.
Mind you, Obi's donnors don't donate to Labour Party, but to Obi and his political pursuit.

Internet won't forget.

The law is specific on donations to political parties, not to individuals.

The is a silly interpretation that cannot withstand any legal scrutiny. Peter Obi is the candidate of Labour Party and both cannot be legally separated for the purpose of the election. Political parties are made up of people and as such, the law is applicable to all members of the party. Diaspora donation to Peter Obi is the same as diaspora donation to Labour Party. Obi better be properly guided before mischievous lawyers put him in trouble.

Arrogantly ignorant...

Ever asked yourself why in Election Tribunal, the Party is noted differently from the candidate?

I was thinking same. But wait, if a common man that has no bullion van nor servants he has put in government position want to contest for thr top seat, then how should the political party be funded? Is it through primary or through members of the political party?

It would have been surprising if you posted the opposite.

No, it's your views that are rather silly here.

So anyone that supports Peter Obi or work for his campaign team is automatically a labour party member?

Peter Obi Campaign Organisation is not a political party, neither does its membership translate to being a member of Labour Party.

Who gives a shit?! just tell me how i can donate, so i can donate to Obi..

optionalY09:
Obi should go and campaign for the president of the east. We are dividing Nigeria.

He should stop this waste of time under a party with no governor or house of rep member. Which constitution is he willing to use for his governance.

All these noise is waste of time, let him campaign as the president of the east not of Nigeria

I very sure them waste money take send you to school... U even read wetin u post at all so?

Labour party is not the same as Peter obi.

Party wins elections, not candidates, in Nigeria atleast.
That is why candidates can be replaced but party remains in power.

Are you saying Peter obi cannot receive any gift from now till 2023 because he wants to run for president?

What could be unlawful about what is freely given? As a matter of fact a fundraising campaign is as lawful as the internally generated revenue. Lol

How can someone call bona-fide Nigerians in the diaspora foreigners? What kind of lawyers are we churning from our universities?

This is the reason why I don't like the art. There're too many interpretations to one common object.

Maths on the other hand is specific, universal and non-abstract. Engineering every time mehn.

Naijanascam:
Educate them please

You do not know the meaning of what he just explained: that there is a difference between a candidate and the party but funds the candidate recieve is collected for the party's candidate to produce campaign materials for the party but not for funding the party, and you believe that incorrect assertion?
That guy just confused you with arrant nonsense and will lose flatly in court

FrauleinBlossom:

It is unlawful because foreign interests can effectively hijack the political process in Nigeria and install their lackey as the president.

Cry me a river by wailers, Obi all the way, we are Obidient to the core

Is it Reno Omo... or the agbado urchins that will pay for the venue bookings and other logistics

Hahahaha if u no u no, but daisporas have nonated to Buhari in 2015, and atiku in 2019. Why was it not a problem them... Bad belle...

“Section 225(3)(a)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as altered) provides that: ‘No political party shall hold or possess any funds or other assets outside Nigeria; or b. be entitled to retain any funds or assets remitted or sent to it from outside Nigeria’.”



Is it that this Lawyer cannot read or he needs a Dictionary to understand what it means

Isn't Peter Obi the Labour party Candidate again?

Why is the Lawyer Wrestling with Words that are so plain to understand?

There is what we called legal entity. Peter Obi is quite different from Labour party. They must be separated. The lawyer is right. Let's be OBIdient

We have a new electoral act, signed only this year. Obi must be discovered.

Diaspora donation is bad but Tinubu selling drug is good

The lawyer is probably high on some drugs. The law is pretty clear.

1. You are not a lawyer. Even if you are a lawyer, you will find it very difficult to win a single case.

2. English appears to be very difficult for you to understand. Reading English is different from understanding the contents of what you read. Please get more understanding of English.

3. Obi is not your problem. The problem is the failed leaderships that Nigeria has experienced since the military regime of Gowon.

4. Buhari retired from politics in 2011. BAT approached him with a plan. The plan brought Buhari to power, supported heavily by your likes. Here we are after 7 years. You cannot claim that you do not feel the negative effects of the failed leadership.

5. You presently support BAT on the basis of emi lo kan and not issues that are bedeviling our country and the way out.

6. Please vote wisely in 2023 to avoid more 8 years in the wilderness.

We all know that. What I am interested in is whether it’s lawful for Tinubu and Atiku to buy delegates at their conventions to the disadvantage of people who play by the rules.

Leave law & legal interpretations for Lawyers.
