Labour party should borrow sense na. INEC must defend their decision of announcing Tinubu winner and in the process both Tinubu and INEC interest will be protected. Labour party should be ready to fight both APC and INEC otherwise they should give up already and Bleep off

The same way INEC is defending Adeleke in Osun against APC

The cases are not different at all. INEC is joined as a respondent along with APC and Tinubu. It's one suit which concerns all the parties at the same time. INEC is not defending Tinubu - in fact, it's the other way round because INEC conducted the election and declared Tinubu the winner, so if you want to contest that, you are directly entering an adversarial process with INEC by saying they have done the wrong thing.

INEC is only, therefore defending themselves. If they were doing anything out of place, the Court would not entertain it, and if it did, then Obi's lawyers know what to do.

Obi is simply, as he always does, playing to the emotions of his support base.
I think we know the candidate that plays to emotions with Yoruba lo kan ethnic chants and Yoruba ronu nonsense.

I repeat, the cases for inec and tinubu are different.

Tinubu is being sued on a number of factors including his eligibility to run for office according to the constitution as a result of his past dealings.

That has little to do with inec. It's not the job of inec to screen candidates.
That is the job of the dss.

Though shettima is being sued for double candidacy, which I guess draws inec into the same boat.

But mostly, Inec is being sued for their failure to transmit results electronically right from the polling unit and many other irregularities.

It should defend itself and let tinubu defend himself.

Are they going to defend tinubu from his drug pasts or his foreign citizenship?

Weda u like it or not. Obi is a better man for the job. He will be the man to usher in a new era. In Nigeria. New Nigeria is possible and it starts with obi. As president.. it's will be no more business as usual.. no more looting. No more rascality.. no more wasting of tax payers money. No more borrowing to shear. This is wat you people are afraid of... I know. It's better we save our country from collapse. Now. Because if we don't. We and our children will pay d Price... Blood suckers like tinubu wunt be here for the next 15 to 20 years. So y will we let him destroy wat is left of Nigeria..
you guys are liars, what we need is an improved Nigeria, the New Nigeria noise is all deception. Obi too is from the old order. You guys should stop deceiving yourselves

We all know.. a responsible person does not bribe people or hire boys to do dia dirty works. As a matter of fact. They don't do dirty works. Obi have people he empowered you dnt know. Maybe u do but u will neva admit.. keep sentiment aside. Tinubu is not fit to be president.. u know . Tinubu knows. Dat is y he rigged his way to be declared winner of the election.

This Obi is a proper Isi Ewu. If he expected INEC to be neutral, why did he join INEC in his petition? He is do dumb I can’t believe it. You called the agency to account in court, and you don’t want them to defend themselves and their actions. How so low is Obi’s intelligence? Even his lawyers are complete dullards for allowing him to argue in that direction.

And as for FCT 25% vote, the argument of INEC us very convincing and plausible. It is very dull of Obi to just claim that it is false without any counter-argument.

You guys are mixing things up.
In the case of imo state, the supreme court judgements was based on the fact that INEC UNLAWFULLY excluded results from 388 polling units whose votes when added gives APC and hope uzodimma majority of the votes cast in the election .
The problem in OBI'S case is that even if he can prove that he has majority of votes count, he still does not meet the constitutional requirements of spread in 24 states.
Are you a Supreme Court Judge
Let the Supreme Court decide...

Stop all these intimidations

[color=orange]No retreat! No surrender.

If Tinubu refuse to return the mandate him and INEC stole from the good people of Nigeria, then Nigeria will divide, so that everybody can go their separate ways.

Why is Tinubu trying to Force himself on us, who did we offend in this country, is it by force to serve Nigeria

Tinubu, the only advice we Sane Nigerians can give to you is "do the right thing at the right time, so that there will be peace in Nigeria [/color]

No, he is not given back Rivers State like that. It's an indication of fraud and someone needs to go to jail. Either Mahmoud, Jagaban, Wike or the returning officer. That's where the problem is. Buhari signed the electoral law. So someone is going to jail.
ok..but is wike not souppsed to be sued as well.....i am just trying to understand the issue very well
Re: Peter Obi Slams INEC For Backing Tinubu At Presidential Tribunal by Heene: 10:27pm On Apr 25, 2023
Abuja not 37th State


Section 134 says: A candidate must secure 1/4th (25%) of votes cast in 2/3rd of the entire 36 States of Nigeria and 1/4th (25%) of votes cast in FCT.

Abuja is not the 37th State! those making that argument are not aware of why, that Constitutional Section 134 insist that winner of Presidency must get majority Votes and 1/4 of 2/3rd of 36 States and 1/4 in Abuja: because of the 1979 Presidential election twelve 2/3 Court controversy by Richard Akinjide SAN; when Nigeria had 19 States. In Court, UPN Leader; bitterly argued that a State cannot be divided into 2/3rd and Shagari should win 13 States; because a State is equivalent to an Egg, that cannot maintain validity if divided.

The Military Regimes of IBB and Abacha received advise to create States with 2/3rd divisibility without being Fractioned: Justice Niki Tobi led the Constitution Review Panel in 1999 imposing conditions in Section 134; to avoid a twenty four 2/3rd controversy from 37 States: hence the separation of Abuja. This was the thinking of the Constitution Review Panel in 1999, to avoid that twelve 2/3rd Math controversy of 1979.

Numbers divisible by 2/3rd from 1 to 45 without a Fraction are the following:3=2,6=4,9=6,12=8,15=10,18=12,21=14,24=16,27=18,30=20,33=22,36=24,39=26,42=28,45=30.



The National Assembly should create 2 States and designate
Abuja; as the 39th State like territory to avoid a twenty four 2/3rd scenario. The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the law and put clarity where fogginess exist; by jumping into the Minds of the Law Authors: by jumping into the Minds of the Law Authors. IBB created 21 and then 30 States total; while Abacha made them 36. Stakeholders ensured State creation divisibility by 2/3rd without a Fraction by both Leaders: but they forgot that Abuja was going to count separately; otherwise, IBB and Abacha would have created 20,29 and 35 States respectively; to bring the total with Abuja to 21,30 and 36 States accordingly: ensuring 2/3 divisibility without a Fraction

From 1999,2003,2007,2011,2015 and 2019, every President elect got that 1/4 Votes in FCT, the record is not challengeable! Magicians cooking Numbers, forgot to apply their Magic at Abuja, the Diplomatic and International Community are browsing Section 134 of Nigeria's Constitution and probably expect a Magic Interpretation in our Judiciary; because the outcome of the elections does not correspond with the atmosphere in the Country! tribalism ethnicity and sentiments apart: a Person's Stomach is the first rule of Life, people fighting for Cash daily and in Banks; could not have put APC back in power.

Abuja has about 4 States total (Kwara,Kaduna,Plateau and Niger): the bulk of Abuja is from Niger State; Apc won Governorships in Niger,Kaduna,Kwara and Plateau States. and failed to get 25% of Votes in Abuja; surely is a Red Flag! INEC needs to conduct a run off election to confirm true Presidency in Nigeria.

The language of Section 134 is Crystal clear concise, without ambiguity and with unwavering English: if Abuja gets State status; 2 more States need to be created to make the total Number of States 38 plus Abuja=39: 2/3 divisibility of 39 without a fraction will be 26 States: in the absence of this , the law in Section 134 does not support INEC'S decision in this m!atter, a bad mistake was made.

The Roots of this matter has been uprooted for all to see the radix; to ensure confusion ends! INEC too has received proper explanation of Section 134.
