I was awoken on this side of the world by news of the reversal by the Nigerian Supreme Court of Senate Pres. Ahmed Lawan's primary election loss. I was already mentally prepared for it after the same Supreme Court affirmed

Godwin Akpabio's fraudulent primary win a few days ago. It's a well-planned judicial choreography. The Nigerian Supreme Court is straight-up the most hopeless Supreme Court in the history of the world's supreme courts.

The same Court violated common sense and the will of voters and gave us a "Supreme Court governor" in Imo State who never even pretended to have won an election. Now it has given Yobe and Akwa Ibom states "Supreme Court senate candidates" in Lawan and Akpabio.

Lawan was too busy trying to be APC's presidential candidate to even participate in the senate primaries in Yobe and unsuccessfully begged Machina to stand down for him, but the Supreme Court just declared him the winner of a contest he didn't participate in anyway. It's a blatant case of "justice" for sale.

Nigeria's Supreme Court is, without a doubt, a rotten gaggle of useless, purchasable judicial bandits. The highest bidder gets their judgement. And they're not even hiding this. Against the judicial oaths they swore, they openly cavort with politicians whose cases they sit in judgement over.

They are greedy, grasping, unprincipled curmudgeons who need money, & anybody who gives them the most money gets the most favorable judgment. I think it's Akpabio who popularized d saying that whatever money cannot do in Nigeria more money can do it. He knows Nigeria really well.

The APC is known for violation of rule of law, & any organisation with disdain for rule of law, cannot stand the test of time.

The APC has a very scant regard and respect for the public and for public opinion. It also has a disdain for the law. That makes it a danger to democracy and constitutional rule".

So sad.

It beats one imagination. On what bases is the judgement that delivered Lawal as the senatorial candidate produced. The man didn't even participate in the primaries. He was begging Machina around to step down for him. Is there something we are missing?

So much abracadabra at the supreme court of lately, but this is baffling and scary. These days I have so much trust in the tribunal than the supreme court.

But i am still trying to look into vast details of the judgement. I wish someone can help us with one.

This is my first time of reading humanity in you, without being political. I hope you tomorrow you won't throw caution to the wind and turn everything to politics. Well, it might because the two actors are APC's members and not opposition. I hope you will proof me wrong again?

I'm APC/Tinubu supporter, but let's admit. This judgement is depressing

DennisEche:
read the writing on the wall, the boy you quoted is a Tinubu supporter and you should know that all Tinubu supporters are against the candidacy of Ahmad Lawan.
