Is this part of your concrete evidences you claims Mr Guyman?


What Ije showed here proved she really not professional at all by claiming she wasn't aware that the inec from their quarters stated clear some few days to election that the election result will not be transmitted again.

By the time the tribunal done with you ba, you go truly know say na Nigeria we dey.



Feintline:
When a woman snatches another woman's husband, and the woman whose husband was snatched starts fighting, the husband snatcher will do everything possible to convince the man and all around that she is better than the man's wife.

This is what is presently playing out in Nigeria.

Tinubu the yakubu select and unconstitutional president is doing everything possible to make Nigerians feel he is a better choice than Peter Obi, the man who the People voted for.

Don't be fooled by bills up in bills being signed. Signing bill is not an achievement.
Buhari signed bills upon bills.
Buhari himself signed electoral law that Yakubu brazenly failed to implement.

What affects the common man is the implementation of bills right down for the common man to see and feel.

I love what PODATTI and lawyers are doing.
Choke them with Evidence.

If we have to be honest with ourselves, the only reason Nigeria refused to allow Biafra then was because the minorities in the Eastern region (who had the oil) were being taken away by the Biafra government.

I am convinced if Ojukwu had only taken the newly created Igbo states, none of that horrible war would have happened.

We don't have to be in the same country to be friends though it would be nice if we were all Naija's.

All evidences so far alluded to by the petitioner are damning and cut off feet of the respondents that they almost smuggled in newspaper not front loaded during the pre-hearing. That tribune newspaper smuggled in was objected to and not admitted to as evidence by the tribunal. It was thrashed accordingly.
The cruise is that Professor of Mathematics, the man so intelligent and giving them (respondents) technical answers to their questions. See three key words he used and they got confused, even APC supporters on line.
Collation center
Collation system
Tabulation
In describing what IREVs is.
He said, IREVs is a collation system but not a collation centre. He further submitted that IREVs doesn't tabulate results but serves as checker.
The word checker is in tandem with section 64 (5)(6) of the 2022 electoral Act in case there is dispute in votes collated.
Please don't reply me to spew jargon if you don't know what is written in the section because court case is not by emotion, don't vent your emotions around nairaland with no reason. Law is law and there is nothing your emotions can do against it.

Obi's evidences are watery.when the defence session starts,they will bring back that newspaper

IfnobeGod20:

Young Man, anything written in law is a must and cannot be debatable. The electoral Act required the polling officer, that is presiding officer to snap the result after collation and transmit it as may be prescribed by the commission, which is INEC. INEC provided IREVs where results would be uploaded to.
There's even a penalty for not doing it.
Read the electoral Act verbatim below and stop confusing yourself.

Section 60 Nigeria Electoral Act 2022
Counting of votes and forms

(1) The Presiding officer shall, after counting the votes at the polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form to be prescribed by the Commission as the case may be.

'footnote'
Note the words "to be prescribed by the commission"

(2) The form shall be signed and stamped by the presiding officer and counter signed by the candidates or their polling agents where available at the polling unit.


(3) The presiding officer shall give to the polling agents and the police officer where available a copy each of the completed forms after it has been duly signed as provided under subsection (2).

(4) The presiding officer shall count and announce the result at the polling unit.

(5) The presiding officer shall transfer the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the Commission.

'footnote'
Pls what are they transferring?
Did the commission prescribed any method to transfer the said accredited voters and results of the ballot? They did, that it should be transfer to IREVs which they spent millions from tax payer money to developed.

(6) A presiding officer who wilfully contravenes any provision of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not more than N5 00,000 or imprisonment for a term of at least six months.

'Footnote'
This is the penalty accrued for not following the law and guideline provided by the commission.

The penalty is not cancellations

May GOD bless you for this your write up,I av resigned in arguing with this so called obidunce simply because they lacked knowledge of constitution and real politics and majority of them are unreasonables and ignorants believing only Lagos and Rivers votes can win presidential election...
OldSkoolHeadBoy:
Who will explain in simple English to these emotionally charged kids that the results from the IREV portals are SECONDARY/IMMATERIAL and the PRIMARY and only credible source through which INEC declared the winner is from the HARD COPY result sheets, which was also issued to all Party Agents ?
Therefore, going to the IREV portal to download results is a complete waste of time and what they should be doing is to present their own hard copy results issued and point out the differences with certified true copy of what INEC has. You guys will be flatly disappointed when it dawns on you that claiming that the results were not uploaded on IREV is also hogwash because either it was done instantly in supposed real time or very much later is totally immaterial.
Most of the INEC Polling Agents are Youth Corpers and others below the age of 30. They are supposed to be technologically savvy but they could not take legible pictures with the BVAS device despite the huge amount spent in training them. Please who is to be blamed for this failure but yourselves ?

Prior to the election day, every intelligent person knew it was either a 3 way deadlock, which could end up in a rerun of the election between the top two candidates OR a slim victory for BAT because he had a SLIGHT edge over the others.
As predicted, BAT won with the lowest margin ever recorded in our modern politics. The reason being that the 3 top candidates represent the 3 major tribes and all their ethnic compatriots are predicted to line up behind one of their own. The North has the highest population, followed by the SW and the SE being the last. As observed, the SE voted 90% for Peter Obi but that is not sufficient to meet the requirements to emerge victorious, while roughly 65% from SW voted BAT and 60% in the North voted for Atiku. Of course, candidate BAT with a fairer spread across the nation won. BAT lost in Lagos as expected due to the large Igbo population and that is the true result as expected.
Please point out where your glory was taken and the likely victory path for Peter Obi in this calculus ? How on earth would you expect the SW and the core North to vote massively for Peter Obi and abandon their own compatriots, when you tightly hugged yours ? Can you point to any political bigwig in the nation, South or North that campaigned for Obi ?

You guys are simply zealots and you think because you want victory so badly and if you scream the loudest, bully everyone that does not agree with you, it should then rightly be presented to you on a platter of gold. Unfortunately, it does not work like that.
Peter Obi never won and he has no clear chances of winning now or in future. You guys need to learn how to build bridges Northerly and Westernly across the River Niger, if you want to play politics successfully.

I await your insults and from others of your kind because when you cannot hold an intellectual discourse that is your fall back option.

Despite all that, the law is not emotional. There's no LAW mandating INEC to transmit live, even if they swear by God to transmit. It is remains a good intention/plan that was not carried out.

Babaolofin,leave this people to wallowing in their irredeemable ignorance,no matter how you explained,they will still continue to argue blindly. What do you expect from people that believed that Abuja voters have more rights than those in other parts of the country...
babaolofin:


It is not in the Constitution. Kadaria Ahmed does not know up to 5% of what I know about Nigeria. No Constitution Amendment (Federal and States) ever passed the Bill to give FCT 25% voting power to rule Nigeria. It can never pass through South West & South South Parliament. The IBOS, though while pursuing BIAFRA, out of frustration may pass the Bill, the Yorubas & South South can never pass that Bill.

ARISE TV is mainly a propaganda station used by EndSARS rioters to destroy Tinubu and Lagos State properties.

The Founder, Nduka Obaigbena begged IBB to annul June 12 election. He said Abiola violated Electoral Act by putting on Cap with MKO inscription and for wearing Agbada that has SDP logo ( Horse) on the day of election.

We are talking about INEC's rules and regulations clause 93 not section 93 of the Electoral Act.....Make una dey calm down with your Google inspired one minute research grin grin grin
Note that any guideline not in tandem with the constitution and Electoral Act is null and void. All guidelines must take there roots from the enabling laws. Just the same way, any law in the Electoral Act that goes against the constitution, is null and void and the constitution takes superiority over it.
That is why it is very clear in the 2022 Electoral Act, how to collate disputed results. It was well spelt out and no way to circumvent the electoral Act. Section 64 (5)(6) is very clear and I will reproduce it here same way I did before.

(5) Subject to subsection (1), a collation officer or returning officer shall use the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 47 (2) of this Act and the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 60 (4) of this Act to collate and announce the result of an election if a collated result at his or a lower level of collation is not correct.

'footnote'
It is even mandatory for a collation officer or returning officer to compare the recorded results with transmitted results from the polling units as stated in the above section.

(6) Where during collation of results, there is a dispute regarding a collated result or the result of an election from any polling unit, the collation officer or returning officer shall use the following to determine the correctness of the disputed result –
(a) the original of the disputed collated result for each polling unit where the
election is disputed;
(b) the smart card reader or other technology device used for accreditation of voters in each polling unit where the election is disputed for the purpose of
obtaining accreditation data directly from the smart card reader or technology device;
(c) data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit where the election is disputed as prescribed under section 47 (2) of this Act; and
'footnote'
In this section, it was made explicit that in case there is a dispute in the collation of results, it is expected for the collation officer or returning officer to rely on data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit so disputed.

(d) the votes and result of the election recorded and transmitted directly from
each polling unit where the election is disputed, as prescribed under section 60 (4) of this Act.

'footnote'
Anything outside this section is null and void my brother. This section had explained how to collate any disputed results and no shortcuts.

(7) If the disputed result under subsection (6) were otherwise found not to be correct, the collation officer or returning officer shall re-collate and announce a new result
using the information in subsection (6) (a)-(d).

'footnote'

Note these, as stated by the section above "using the information in subsection (6) (a) - (d)".
If anyone use any information outside this section, such has breached electoral Act.
We are talking of disputed results, which has been taken care by the Electoral Act.

Meanwhile, INEC guidelines on clause. 92-94 is talking of missing INEC hard copy results during collation as you can see below:

92. At every level of collation, where the INEC copy of collated results from the
immediate lower level of collation exists, it shall be adopted for collation.
94. Where no hardcopy of collated results is available, the results, where possible, shall be regenerated from the preceding level (Collation or Polling Unit) in accordance with Clause 93 of these Regulations and Guidelines.
93. Where the INEC hardcopy of collated results from the immediate lower level of collation does not exist, the Collation Officer shall use electronically transmitted results or results from the IReV portal to continue collation. Where none of these exist, the Collation Officer shall ask for duplicate hardcopies issued by the Commission to the following bodies in the order below:
(i) The Nigeria Police Force; and
(ii) Agents of Political Parties.

Now, read the clause 93 as I quoted it verbatim which in part is in line with the Electoral Act. Read it slowly this time around and don't rush.

You people are just confusing yourself thinking you're smart. I am here to always puncture your lie.

Glad you mentioned rules and regulations, now tell me what Clause 48(c) allows? How about the Electoral Act itself? Read Clause 93 and enlighten yourself!
The rules and regulations of INEC are an extension of the electoral act and holds as much authority and is binding just like the act!
This is as clear as daylight!
What does clause 93 of the rules and regulations of INEC say?
This talks specifically about collation!
How is collation related to the authenticity and power of the rules and regulations of inec?

Sounds like a personal beef between you and Mahmoud grin grin grin. Electoral Act gives way for alternative method of coalition and transmission of results....READ MAN READ! Any other discussion na SENTIMENTS!

Semi-illiterate and coalition.

Nigeria 🇳🇬 did not spend a fortune paying members of the National Assembly to prepare the Electoral Act of 2022 and signed into law by the president of Nigeria; spent billions of Naira to establish the system for electronic transmission of vote results as provided in the Electoral Act; then Nigeria turned around to have the old manual collation of votes to remain a valid method for collation of votes.
Is Nigeria a land of the pigmies and the hottentots you people want it to be; because you want a near octogenarian Tinubu who is battling all forms of age related illnesses, and who is a former drug trafficking lord, to preside over Nigeria 🇳🇬 even for one year?

She was an Obi witness called by his team. I believe she wasn't the only journalist they called because they also called someone from Arise news too.

My point is that they should have presented their "strong" evidence of electoral malpractice first to the Tribunal when things started two weeks ago so I can be deliberated on. That is all they needed, not wheeling HDTV's into the courtroom two weeks in.

Based on reports i have seen,LP have already tended most of the evidences made available to them by party agents and the ones given to them hesitantly by inec!

See the way aprobate and reprobate at the same time. In one of your line you claimed the youth corps that INEC employed to do work for them, as they do shambles job for INEC, you wish to past the buck to the citizens, that if they didn't do it well, it is the fault of the people and not those that appointed them, the INEC.
Mr. Man, you don't reason like an intelligent fellow, how will you past the burden of INEC to citizen. Please which law can you quote to support that?

Now to your submission that IReV is a secondary data. Please can you quote where any law or judgement says that IReV document is a secondary date. Your other colleagues have been saying the same thing and I have requested of them to quote where to saw it that IREVs document is a secondary data but till date, they have not provided it. They even referred to the Osun supreme court judgement and I have asked them to bring in the excerpt from the judgement but none has done so. I am waiting for you to do likewise and shame the devil.
Meanwhile, you people should know that it was the same lawyers that won the case for Adeleke that are also members of the Obi/LP lawyers. I don't know if you know more than them or you just want them to do the case in your own terms and conditions. Not possible.

I am sure you've not really sat down to digest and critically read what the Electoral law says and what was written in the INEC guidelines for collation of disputed results. If you have, you will know that you are ignorant of the law.
Now, let me help you. Section 64 (5)(6) of the electoral Act and INEC guidelines, clause 93 very straight forward. Let me quote both for you, may be that will heal your ignorance.

"(5) Subject to subsection (1), a collation officer or returning officer shall use the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 47 (2) of this Act and the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 60 (4) of this Act to collate and announce the result of an election if a collated result at his or a lower level of collation is not correct.

(b) the smart card reader or other technology device used for accreditation of voters in each polling unit where the election is disputed for the purpose of
obtaining accreditation data directly from the smart card reader or technology device;
(c) data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit where the election is disputed as prescribed under section 47 (2) of this Act; and
'footnote'
In this section, it was made explicit that in case there is a dispute in the collation of results, it is expected for the collation officer or returning officer to rely on data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit so disputed.

(d) the votes and result of the election recorded and transmitted directly from
each polling unit where the election is disputed, as prescribed under section 60 (4) of this Act.

'footnote'
Anything outside this section is null and void my brother. This section had explained how to collate any disputed results and no shortcuts.

(7) If the disputed result under subsection (6) were otherwise found not to be correct, the collation officer or returning officer shall re-collate and announce a new result
using the information in subsection (6) (a)-(d).

'footnote'

Note these, as stated by the section above "using the information in subsection (6) (a) - (d)".
If anyone use any information outside this section, such has breached electoral Act.

Now read again what INEC guideline says in clause 93 below:

"93. Where the INEC hardcopy of collated results from the immediate lower level of collation does not exist, the Collation Officer shall use electronically transmitted results or results from the IReV portal to continue collation. Where none of these exist, the Collation Officer shall ask for duplicate hardcopies issued by the Commission to the following bodies in the order below:
(i) The Nigeria Police Force; and
(ii) Agents of Political Parties.

Now, read the clause 93 as I quoted it verbatim which in part is in line with the Electoral Act. Read it slowly this time around and don't rush.

From your submission it shows you're not talking out of the point of law but you're talking based on your support base of your candidate. You even went ahead to say, LP won Lagos due to large population of Igbo in Lagos. Are you saying, the population of Igbo overweigh that of other tribes? Your kind will not cease to amuse people with unfounded sentiment. I don't think the Igbo population in Lagos is up to 20% of the total population but you're mischievously saying otherwise to look correct. You people want to make it look as if all the votes he got was from Igbos alone and other tribes didn't vote him.
You claim they are zealous, I can bet you, you're in the same class like them. You're also zealous to defend your candidate out of the blues and not by law. Please stop denigrating others when you fall into the same pitfall.

BadMaster:

Some of you Obidients are very funny. What nonsense evidence are you talking about? A promise made by Inec chairman is not the same as what's in the constitution. The constitution does not necessitate the transmission of results in real-time. The earlier you understand this fact, the better.
