Although I feel very sad about the outcome of the Tribunal,but there are certain facts that must be established.
Gov Oyetola's argument has always been hinged on overvoting in some local government especially in All the Ede Local government councils.
According to a report I read from an election observer group,voting continued until around 7 to 8pm in some local governments in Osun State.
The inec law is irrefutable about all voting stopping by exactly 4pm,any vote cast after 4pm is deemed illegal,infact it says only accredited voters are allowed to vote,and accreditation of voters stops way before the voting ends.
My humble submission to Gov Adeleke is to go back and find a way to tally the figures he had by 4pm on election day in all the local government in Osun. The Bvas should have the figures if what inec tells us is true.
I'm not a lawyer but I daresay no court in Nigeria will allow the final figures put forward by Gov Adeleke to stand.
He should preferably argue that the over voting should be deducted and not the whole cancellation of polling booths as these would amount to disenfranchisement of a lot of voters,or push for a rerun in those cancelled polling booths.
Either way this case looks really hopeless for Gov Adeleke,this is a clear message to politicans who want to rig in next month Elections,bvas will stop you if you dare try to inflate your figures.
God bless Nigeria.

Unbiased and smart observation from you , however what you are asking has been done already . They deducted the over voters from both parties hence the difference in the new election results

Workch:
good, so I can sponsor overvoting in your strongholds to make you lose. Because inec will eventually cancel them.

Lol, this election na fraud.
How are you sure APC did not deliberately sponsor overvoting?

INEC(Buhari+Aregbe) ganged up against Tinubu (Oyetola et al) to compromise the election in favour of Adeleke to wane him(Tinubu) down, buh they miscalculated.

So in conclusion adeleke is not longer the governor of Ogun? Is that what the tribunal is saying??

Workch:
Yes, you get it by little, I know you re not that stupid.

So if in polling unit X, you are winning, I can sponsor overvoting there, knowing fully well that it will be canceled? Right and you become the outright loser

Learn to think, no be everything be noise for nairaland

Is it today that you know that that particular law(act) exist? Why are crying more than the bereaved? Or is it because it worked against your party that you started looking for the perpetrator of the over voting?
Calm down, the dancer is gone!

Better loose hope now. Election tribunal no de pass any judgement before may 29. And who ever win between obi or atiku go retire all these judges one time. Na today?

g4gerald:
But not all the people who voted between 4-8pm voted for Adeleke, some must have voted for Oyetola so why did they minus it only in Adeleke's number. I think the best thing to do would have been to cancel those polling unit and do a rerun there.

That's what d court did. Rerun will be based now on the margin between d winner and d runner up.

Goke7:
You are making assumptions, people or voters are the ones to decide if a governor deserves a second term or not. You can't sit down on your chair and just say the majority of politicians don't deserve a second term. Democracy is validated at the polls

YOu are right.....I agree with you

OmoOshodi:
I'm not going to collect my PVC again....no need to vote


Abeg


Nigeria has gone to the dogs


Something is going to happen before February election.....

I don't know what it is....but election may not hold

The only thing that will happen is INEC will say the machine cannot go round all the polling units in nigeria as such we can't use it then we fall back to our normal voting system

beejaay:
So adeeke is ipob, the 290000 people the tribunal agreed voted for pdp is ipob. Babu sense

so the over 300k people will hate APC the more?

Peacecore:
That's what d court did. Rerun will be based now on the margin between d winner and d runner up.

Tribunal just cancelled, no rerun was mentioned in the judgement and of course the affected/cancelled votes is much more than the new margin

tunapawizzy:

Let's wait for d true copy if d judgement. It will be clarified buh d highest Adeleke can get in d court is rerun in doz affected polling units which will still favour Oyetola. Ade is as good as gone.

Workch:
you still can't get it

May be I should reframe it. When they say OVER VOTING, they don’t mean the ballot paper thumbprints were more than accredited register alone. What they mean is that: the figures recorded for a party is higher, when compared, to/with the numbers of ballot papers found in a ballot box for a particular party.

Let me use some hypothetic figures as example:

In Ede
1. Accredited voters in Ward A = 500. This will include both PDP and APC.

2. Thumbprints of ballot (the paper), when recounted at the tribunal showed that:
PDP = 300
APC = 210
Total = 510

3. The INEC Result Sheet signed by all party representatives and INEC staff showed that
PDP = 310
APD = 210
Total = 520

Here, over voting has been established because it is the final Result Sheet that shows the voting. Ballot (the papers thumbprint) and lists of aa credited voters are only referred to in cases of when election results are being contested.

In the case above, the way they were able to know the party that over voted was that the tribunal compared the numbers polled on the Result Sheets recorded for both PDP and APC against the recounted ballots and, at the same time comparing it to the recorded total of accredited voters before the election proper started.

Honourable1901:
This is best results, if you like it it to supreme, oyetola will emerge, it's an overvoting case

yes there was over voting and those votes had to be deducted from both parties. The question is shouldn't a rerun be conducted since outright cancellation would be disenfranchising the people from that part of the state?

Peacecore:
Why do you people comment b4 reading? Now, go back and read the news, you will found out that Oyetola's votes was also reduced.

Okay I didn't notice that, despite that the verdict is still not acceptable.

merits:
This will definitely be drag till the next four years, Nigeria judiciary so corrupt and confuse at the same time.

By law: Tribunal is 3 month, Appeal judgement must be given within 1 month and supreme judgement must be given within 1 month

The reliability of the BVAS machine needs to be questioned. How possible is over voting without accreditation? The entire votes shouldn't be canceled, rather we check to know who the real accredited voters voted for, and deduct the extra votes.

My opponent can actually work with the officials, bypass accreditation and over voting would take place in my stronghold since the court of law will later cancel and disenfranchise the real voters.

This Electoral law is nonsense.

You made a lot of sense in your post. PDP should study this judgement very well and take a stand and know which sides will suit them well to follow otherwise, they may not be able to prove their case.

The highest bidder owns the Tribunal. Adeleke can't match froggie the druggie

I'm from Osun state and can tell you for a fact Adeleke & their wealthy friends outspent APC 2-1 in that election. But why PDP over voted still beats me, they would have won but it would have been a smaller margin of less than 2000 votes.

The absence of Aregbe in the APC campaign and other political issues opened Oyetola to losing the likes of ilesha & Ife North which otherwise he wouldn't have lost.

The justice is in order according to the electoral acts. The highest Ade can get is rerun in those units which will still favour Oyetola on a normal ground.

The electoral laws Nigerians clamoured for calls for cancellation where over voting takes place, so your submission as to what Adeleke must do can't hold. The appellate court may grant a rerun on the terms of " disenfranchisement " of legal voters in those voting booths, it would be a tall task, but INEC officials responsible must be charged to court

His stay in office is not going to be a mere 62 days. He can't leave the office until after supreme court judgement. The same thing happened 4 years ago when Adeleke was declared the winner by the tribunal but Oyetola never for once left the office.

outright CANCELLATION of affected units results is the position of the law.

That happened because the polling unit at Ede South LG had over 3000 registered voters and INEC refused to divide the PU into 5 or more polling units, probably because of what they had in mind. All Ede residents were determined to exercise their voting rights on that day regardless of all forms of intimidation by the thugs. This was clearly pre-planned.

Which people? You mean IPOB members and their sympathisers.

Their BP don high

This judgement can't even stand at the appeal . If inec didn't comply with the electoral laws gowon does that concern adeleke who is a participant .? Is like someone punishing a student who obtained his waec certificate from waec. Is the responsibility of waec to punish the student if they believe he obtained it by fraud ...I believe the tribunal is biting more than it can chew ..worst case is the cancellation of the election from area where over voting is noticed afterall it wasn't the candidate fault. Thereafter order fresh election with serious supervision...

And the party agent signed it

trutharena:
Lol. I thought we are all celebrating BVAS.

There was over voting and BVAS was able to help detect that which led to the judgement.

Are you saying they should bypass BVAS because APC people are not at the receiving end?
