GoodGovernance:Thanks for your effort. I have read your extract over and over again without seeing where the law says only result directly transmitted from polling units to IREV [/b]should be collated since that’s the point you’re trying to make. In interpreting a law, you can’t input what is not there into it. That is what you guys are trying to do. The law never said [b]transmission directly to IREV. The section you’re trying to rely on actually referred you to section 47(2). Below is an extract from section 47(2) 47. “The collation and declaration of election results shall be done at the following levels depending on the type of election: (i) Registration Area - RA/Ward (Collation for all elections), including that of Councillor in the case of the FCT; (ii) Local Government Area- LGA/Area Council (Collation for all elections), including that of Chairman in the case of the FCT; (iii) State Constituency (Collation and Declaration of State House of Assembly Elections); (iv) Federal Constituency (Collation and Declaration of House of Representatives Elections); Now, let’s see section 48: 48. (a) An election result shall only be collated if the Collation Officer ascertains that the number of accredited voters agrees with the number recorded in the BVAS and votes scored by Political Parties on the result sheet is correct and agrees with the result electronically transmitted or transferred directly from the Polling Unit as prescribed in these Regulations and Guidelines. (b) If a Collation or Returning Officer determines that a result from a lower level of collation is not correct, he/she shall use the result electronically transmitted or transferred directly from that lower level to collate and announce the result. (c) if no result has been directly transmitted electronically for a polling unit or any level of collation, the provision of Clause 93 of these Regulations shall be applied. So, what’s in clause 93? Extract 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. When you read all the above together, you should understand the law and stop imputing what is not there. Collation is done manually and transmission to IREV is not a compulsory requirement for collation. In fact, collation and declaration of result can be done even if all that is available is hard copy of result sheets giving to police or party agents. None transmission of results directly from polling units for any reason whatsoever doesn’t invalidate the outcome of the election. Again, direct transmission of results from polling units as envisaged under section 64(4) is not only to IREV. It is firstly about direct transmission of manual result sheets to the collation center, then direct transmission of electronically recorded result (BVAS) to the collation centre and lastly IREV. IREV is just a third layer confirmation against the manually transmitted result in case the electronically transmitted result (BVAS) is not available. Since BVAS were available, IREV was never needed for collation. |

senatordave1:Already Tinubu has been nailed 1 on the guinea passport Olaonipekun said the passport has expired but that doesn't exempt Tinubu from being a Guinea citizen so Tinubu committed perjury,2 Inec letter said shettima resign from senate on 6 but a video was played in the court where Tinubu was telling Buhari of his interest to make shettima his running mate also said shettima is yet to know his intention 3 the guidelines stated by Inec play in the court shows clearly that Inec failed to live up to expectation so Inec need to explain why presidential result was not uploaded and senate and law maker result went through,the pu and the ward results did not tally with the state and the result announced hence the only reason Yakubu ran away from court true out.Tinubu is a gunner like arsenal |

The shettima issue is dead.the supreme court killed it,they said shettima was never even guilty of double nomination and we're misled by pdp... Lp has failed to prove that results were not uploaded |

senatordave1:Were the Presidential election results transmitted DIRECTLY from the polling units,before collation? This is the only debatable issue I would have pursued in court and then leave the court to decide. Then to some extent,the 25% controversy. Other prayers sought by Obi and Atiku's lawyers ,are a disgrace to "SANhood".Issues that had been decided by various courts. |

In my view, Tinubu APC and INEC lawyers worked in synergy and are smarter than Obi Atiku lawyers. You would never see them address pressmen after court session. Also, most of the personal grounds for disqualification against Tinubu are not new to him. He's been sued before now over those issues especially on money forfeiture. Obasanjo, bcoz Tinubu would not stop attacking him, wrote American government in 2003 but US wrote back to clear Tinubu. On the university of Chicago, he was taken to court but he won bcoz the university confirmed his studentship and the certificate issued to him. On 2023 election results, Obi and Atiku brought heeps of documents but couldn't give LIVES to the documents. Those documents cannot speak for themselves, and it's not the duty of the Lord Justices to tell the documents to speak. In other words, the petitioner failed to show how those documents support their case as the winner. And this ought to have been done state by state, local councils by local councils, what you scored and what the respondents scored, and why you the petitioner should be declared winner. Figures were not matched with figures state by state rather they were showing TV of what INEC Chairman said and what he didn't say forgetting that INEC Regulations is not Electoral Law. Regulations are administrative guidelines which can be altered depending on the situation while Electoral Law must be followed. So, all the documents dropped by Atiku and Obi are dead documents bcoz the lawyers failed to speak for those documents on how it affected Tinubu scores. By the close of their petitions, we expected petitioners to have presented in a Tabular Format state by state. Aren't you surprised that those documents in the boxes were not opened for mathematical exercise? They were dumped on the judges which is wrong. On Shettima nomination, supreme court had ruled in pre election case of Atiku that Shettima contested only once. I recall the judges asked Atiku PDP lawyers to tell the court of any primary election Shettima participated in apart from Borno Central Senatorial primary. The judges asked if Shettima contested for VP. That has been established. On 25% in 2/3 states and FCT, section 299 has made it clear that FCT shall be treated as a state for the purpose of presidential election. Meaning that, for the purpose of presidential election, the constituency of Nigeria is one constituency which comprise of 36 states and FCT. The question to ask now is if a sub constituency is special or greater than other sub constituencies. The framers of our constitution could not be thinking of a special citizens or special Nigerians to residents of FCT. Every Nigerian is equal irrespective of your state of residency. FCT residents don't have veto power in our constitution. On Tinubu Guinea citizenship, we all know that non Nigerian businessmen enjoy such privilege. We heard the former president of Guinea spoke on the issue that he honoured Tinubu with his country citizenship and highest Award bcoz of what he did when the country had economic challenges. It's just been politicized, it's not supposed to be an issue. I think I've touched all the grounds of petitions. Boyooosa: |
