Many of you are legally illiterate. If you know the law, you will see that their counter argument is very strong and compelling. How can Obi contest election when he was not a member of LP? How can Obi claim irregularities without giving evidence on polling unit basis? Answer those questions based on the law.

Professor of law, how can Shetimah contest with two nominations?

madridguy:
It is now very obvious that you are a product of baby factory hence no moral or any home training for you.

Pack your bag and leave Nigeria, you won't be missed.

tolue42:
In a nutshell, APC forced Obi back to PDP where he belongs.

So he doesn't have any capacity to challenge them from Labor party. Labor part votes wasted!

I love this drama..

Nordy:


You that is a legal luminary, you don't seem have an in-depth idea on how one becomes a member of a party.
As the case unfolds detailed evidences (including certified forensic analysis) will be tender at the court so hold your breath is gonna be a bumper ride.
However what APC put up is so fragile, the couldn't find any fraudulent case against PO unlike the other way round were substance( White for that matter) was identified.

PassingShot:

At the minimum, one would expect some of you to be reasonable and discerning.

A primary school kid should know that it is impossible to conclude an election petition case in three months let alone in a month and half.

Tinubu is my president for the next 4 years at the minimum.

We shouldn't be guessing bro.
If we don't know a thing, it is better we just stay silent on it or go find out the facts.

I hope the attached will educate many of you who thought is by what we think.
No, it is as it is written in Electoral Act 2022.

Venerable612:


You know the Law!

Well said!

The preliminary objections are quite punchy - sammarily:
1. Peter Obi does not have locus to contest the election and bring the petition at all;

2. failure to add Atiku/PDP to the petition is a huge miss, as PO can’t be declared winner if at all he is successful without first discountenancing Atiku’s votes;

3. no pleadings on polling units disruptions individually; and

4. PO’s petition is fraught with pre-election matters - and the Tribunal itself does not have jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Law is interesting! Let’s see how this place out and watch out for the Defence & potential cross petition.

I keep hearing Kenya. Kenya has issues to.

The last election in Kenya was marred by allegations of fraud, and three out of the seven electoral commissioners disclaimed the results...and there was some tension. Took a ruling by the courts to allow the winner claim his mandate.

OKOATA:
Bat should challenge the petition Obi laid against him not looking for rubbish that won't fly. The 21 day period has elaps a long time ago. BAt should counter Obis drugcase petition he laid against him not some rubbish that won't fly.

benjaminlawson:


Does imo governor joined the second and third position before him that was no 4 had the result upturned, it is a simple question, the same court that granted this are the one to still adjudicate on this one.

Clevite:
The battle begins. Bola Tinubu and APC have entered the ring. They entered on technical ground. An attempt at technical knock-out, at first round!

press9jatv:
in this screenshot what it stated here is that:

1. Tribunal- 180 days
2. Appeal Court- 60 days .

But in the presidential election tribunal, it takes 180 days too and nothing of Approaching Appeal court of justice. The next court after the tribunal is Supreme Court of justice and it takes 30 days(both hearing and judgement takes place in this 30 days).

Igbek76:
Sensible people should stop wasting their precious time with empty headed Obi supporters.
Obi supporters are bunch of emotional nuisances and tribal bigots with zero regards for the rules of law and it processes.

RighChannel:
We are watching

See nonsense APC and Tinubu filed against Obi, I pity them

9jaRealist:


Interesting that the APC is NOT objecting against FACTUAL allegations of a flawed election….
>

OKOATA:
Oga that Obi petitioned ApC before the petition closing window of 21 days elapse, they couldn't file a counter petition on or before the day Obi submitted his petition, why did you think Obi waited the last minute to file his own. Bat should file a counter petition to what OBi filed not looking for rubbish that won't fly.

seanfer:


This is not Tinubu’s response ooo. Wole Olanipekun is cooking something

Arapmoi22:
They have just said that OBI himself standing to shout LP is flawed.

His participation in the process is flawed.

You can't take something out of Zero.

seanfer:


In your myopic reasoning APC can’t petition the election tribunal that Obi is not a qualified LP candidate, but Obi can meddle into APC nominations by saying someone is not qualified to run.

CondenseMilk:
APC said that PO should go to court. Now that PO is in court you want the judge to dismiss the case?


Never!

seanfer:


Fish brain. It’s okay for Obi to file the last day but wearing for Tinubu to do same.

SledgeHammerer:



I have never seen a collection of dullards like these guys.

Faiththatworks:
May the best lawyers win for their parties. Election Tribunals are part of the Democratic process,I believe everyone will have an opportunity to prove their case before the Honourable Judges.
This year's Presidential tribunal judges will really have their hands full.
2 parties are arguing they won the election,meaning after Labour and PDP are able to prove APC lost the election,they still have to prove their opponent didn't win.
Another 2 parties want the Tribunal to cancel the presidential Election because the electoral body didn't comply with its guidelines.
So if PDP and Labour prove ApC didn't win the election,and also argue they are the winner,the other 2 parties can pour sand into their garri by showing proof the Election didn't comply and therefore have the Election cancelled.
...........
This is really confusion breaking the bones of the Honourable Judges on the Election Tribunal.
Na wa for Nigeria political parties........
God bless Nigeria
