No time to read nonsense

Iolo:
Disgraceful judgement to say the least. How is it fair or equitable to ignore the merit of a case and base a judgement on a technicality that can’t be faulted to Machina. Does this mean a murderer

The Supreme Court judges need to stop these technicality based judgements and give judgements that the lower courts can learn from and refer to. It’s appalling no one can predict how the Supreme Court will budget a case as their judgements are no longer based on the law but in the technicality of court rules and processes.

princeade86:
Summary pls

Ekpekus:
Oluwole judgement at best.
You didn't seat for an exam but you came first. Who does that

SporaD8:
APC Yobe North Senatorial District has no candidate in this Election!
Anything short of that is perversion of law.

iHart:
Now, give us the summary

Reinaldo:
APC has been a calamity. These systems they are fiddling with will take decades to fully recover.

APC is basically destroying our future and the future of our children with their selfish interests. This nonsense must be stopped this month at the presidential polls.

Many of these people will not be alive in 20 years time but the problems they are creating will still be killing Nigerians long after that. Vote APC out now!!!

Na wa o. Let somebody summarize these long epistles for me, eye dey pain me.

Oga,you can't build something on a faulty foundation

Iolo:
Agreed. But this judgement leaves more questions than it answered.

1. How does Machina proceed? The judges should perhaps have thrown out the case and asked for it to be refilled with the lower courts using the right response.

2. How is this judgement to be interpreted by INEC in light of the electoral act 2022 which states that primaries that aren’t observed by INEC are not valid. Ahmed Lawan did not participate in the primaries monitored by INEC. Doesn’t this recognition of Lawan not float the law in this case?

You see how my point on basing a judgement on technicalities is a very weird thing to do when the law clearly states how these cases should be judged.

femu:
If you read the whole judgement you will see justification for the technicality.

There was conflict in what Machina presented which couldn't be addressed without a proper trial

Afamed:
TOOOR.

Supreme court is not a place where you win with emotions and sentiments,

You have to come with facts, figures and evidence.
