Osun State case is at the state level and not Federal. Also, 1979 constitution amendment birth 1999 constitution and there have several amendments and reforms since then. So, I can tell you that Mr. Olanipekun is right for stating the 1979 constitution. It's allowed.

So state level uses state laws and not the constitution right?

Oga you're not feeling fine.

The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.

Is Osun election federal election?

Why are there so many half baked lots in the opposition's camp?

The same Osun election u and other ........where banking on to level up at supreme Court

My Guy the Internet doesn't forget

Mumunatu Obidients, Osun Tribunal Rulling has been overturned by Supreme Court which is higher jurisdiction

Bobloco:
Wole Olanipekun is merely giving Tinubu, APC and their supporters false hope

U guys thrive on hearsay and propaganda.
Take time to read the 40 page response before saying he didn't mention osun case.
The response was brilliant. Infact, it is a TKO

chatinent:

Agbado? You must think I give a cold f about Tinubu. I only respond subjectively and am not partisan.

So take your Obitivity somewhere else for whoever cares.

Did you mean to say objectively

DaddyCoool:
This case is NOT about what is the law. It is about who are the judges. ALL these judges were appointed by APC and can be retired by Tinubu who also has the power to appoint them - and have whoever he appoints swiftly confirmed by the APC senate.
Bottom line, this is a kangaroo trial

I am telling you. Nothing will come out of it, I will shocked if they go against tinubu

Same Oluwole graduate, Wole Olanipekun won Buhari's case in 2019 for him. Your so-called Livy Uzoukwu (who's Obi's lead counsel today) represented Atiku then and Olanipekun took him to the cleaners with his legal prowess.

I know you're too young to know this but Google is there for you to confirm.

same Livy took Olanipekun to the cleaner as recent as 2023 in the Osun case

Reading through the written address of Tinubu and Shettima lawyers at the ongoing election petition tribunal led by supposed respected senior lawyer Wole Olanipekun, one can’t help but giggle at the hollowness and shallowness of their defense.

In the address, Mr Olanipekun was busy citing the case of Shagari vs Awolowo that happened as far back as 1979 under the 1979 Constitution and in election conducted by FEDECO, as our electoral commission was called then.

Since 1979, we’ve have had many reformations to our electoral laws and have even changed our constitution.

If anything, the most relevant case as far as election cases are concerned in Nigeria today, is the Supreme Court ruling in Osun in case of Oyetola vs Adeleke. This case is the most relevant because it is the only Supreme Court decision since the Electoral Act 2022 came into force.

Ironically, Mr Olanipekun surreptitiously ignored the Osun case which has a lot of similarities with the case at PEPT as they both bother on the place of technology in our election and to what degree INEC can choose to apply or ignore technology in our elections.

It is pertinent to state these things for the world to hear, read and see, so that we all keep an eye on the judiciary and see what comes out it.

Remember that it is not enough to do justice, justice must also be seen to have been done.

Most of y'all are just been clever by half... So you didn't see where Buhari Vs Obasanjo case of 2005 was cited??

Well you have your targeted audience sha

walex2:
You are one of the intelligent guy in this forum, sometimes I just feel like puking reading some comment here online, no wonder their emperor was a third class graduate, when they mention Osun case they quickly forget that by that judgement the precedent will follow the supreme court judgement, I do ask them that APC lawyers were too wise, they deliberately made a resolution that none of the legal team must address the press. When they talk about FCT votes we always tell them that constitution will never make Abuja votes more superior than Abia or Kano votes. Whenever they talk about drug Case I always remember them that thesame Tinubu have been a senator and two term Governor. If Obasanjo and Jonathan could not remove Tinubu when he was in opposition it must be fooly of you to think that TINUBU will be sacked as a sitting president. What Moronic obi supporters we have here

Yet you can't learn to be as intelligent as he is.
What has third class got to do with making your submission? What class of degree has Tinubu?

People dont know anything about law. I laugh when I see a layman talking about law. A lawyer spent 6yrs while studying law you that read english is for 4yrs is forming "I too know"
Technicality of law is beyond layman's knowledge. Citing a case of 1979 maybe a trap in this case.

The SC judgement on the Osun election gave primary status to BVAS evidence and secondary to IREV. That is where there is dispute in election results or accreditation, BVAS comes first then IREV second.

In this PEPT, there is no BVAS (it was deleted by INEC) and so IREV takes primary status.

The electoral act also mandates INEC to compare results on IREV before announcement.

The issue is not that he cited 1979, but that he totally ignored 2023 case.

oga shut the fùck up the law that governs governorship tribunal is the same law that governs presidential tribunal,there's no specific set of laws for presidential tribunal...olodo

APCNig:

Don't mind them. A lawyer can quote any judgment anywhere. Judgement is what is important not constitution. If a lawyer qouted a judgement inn Geneva, that does not mean he knows all about the country 's construction.

Again, what is needed for presidential election is much more tasking than gubernatorial. Which state in Nigeria has the election in Abuja as one of the conditions for winning an election?


Obidients are using propaganda and scandal to win masses support possibly to cause mayhem upon declaration of the judgment. Why are PDP not using propaganda? They rely solely on the integrity of the court and the expertise of the judges. No matter what scandal, judgment is s not always the layman sees things.

I always love to refer to this case. We lost one of our family members in a fight. The person involved dies while fighting with her step mother. Those of us whom the mother of the deceased was our own were claiming and believing, and quoting non-existing law ( road side lawyers). We were too sure the step mother was going to be killed.
Then the judgment came. The judgment said by one doctrine blablabla.,.., the father and husband would not be able to cope with the loss of both daughter and wife. The woman was discharged and acquitted. Case closed.

I don't see any meaningful thing coming out of these court sessions. Now that Tinubu is winning the admiration of people home and abroad. The longer the case lasts the less the force sustaining it becomes.

I remain Obidient still. This is my own opinion though.

The court specifically said in 1979 the case cannot be referenced in future

The osun elections was decided by supreme Court a federal judiciary so olanikpkun is a fake san

Enice:

The Osun case does not relate to the part he cited. Osun case is about overvoting, the presidential election case is about IREV and 25% in Abuja. Pray tell, how do these two relate? Obi's lawyers did not even contest a single vote be deducted from that of Tinubu's vote because they did not show any cause for that. They never tendered or defended any form EC8A which is the basis for such exercise, neither did they present any BVAS to challenge accreditation of result. Please you guys should think before spewing trash.

How pathetic of you to claim that Obi never tendered any form EC8A in court. It’s becoming obvious everyday that you guys speak from a place of ignorance.

Just to clarify you, Obi presented forms INEC certified EC8A for about 28 states, he also presented BVAS accreditation report for those states and more.

You people never followed the court proceedings but you sit in your rooms to conjecture up and believe nonsense.

garfield1:


Abuja was never meant to be a state.the military never made it a state.the drafters of the constitution don't have the powers to make it a state so they did the best they can,that is to treat it as a state though it is less than a state.abuja is like a slave treated as freeborn

How would the seat of power of the president, our centre of unity (according to FCT committee) be a slave or lower than a state?

chatinent:
It’s actually a smart move. Wole is not a charge and bail lawyer! He actually allows you to make his win very easy!

Let's think it. When he does use outdated case laws, he’ll be reminded, maybe by the other counsel that the 1979 constitution was already amended and he should introduce recent cases similar...just like you are asking. To the other counsel, he made a point. Which other recent case would all fingers point to? It is the Adeleke vs Oyetola to be used as precedent!


Now here is where the politics take place… and what you don't know. Actually, the Adeleke vs Oyetola was created for this case. So Wole let you decide for them to use it. And since you gave them the option, they introduce it as tho standing on the recent protocol you suggested.

Guess what? Since you want to feel more recent with cases, the case will be closed and they will win. If you suggested a recent case, and that case is introduced, you WILL lose the case! You just gave them their evidence!

Why did you think the APC let Adeleke win the case based on INEC glitches?

Oh you felt it was a just judgement? And that the APC will just let go sth as big as the governorship? A sitting party? Lol.


It’s so that it will serves as a premise to dismiss the future plan…. this case.

It's was an organised case law.

Let's check:

The APC-led administration has been subject to criticism due to the economic challenges experienced during their tenures. True.

However, it is noteworthy that they have demonstrated adeptness in engaging in strategic political maneuvers, leveraging their party networks, and creating an illusion of popular participation in decision-making processes. Meanwhile, it is all a mirage in achieving the goal!

Even the Naira design was a plan to make other parties feel there was disunity within the party and they loss guard and failed to plan.

Obi too was banking on popular participation and pity politics. He should have added some backup dark politics too. Oh don't criticize me, politics was always darker.

Check the APC's darker politics. Call it politics 101.

During the past electoral process, a strategy is employed wherein a divisive narrative is constructed, leading to the formation of factions and subsequent tribal conflict....the Igbo-Yoruba tribal war, the Wike-pdp war, and the Kwankwaso assisting to reduce the northern votes.

During the period of tribal conflict between the Yorubas and Igbos, the candidate affiliated with the LP experienced an unexpected defeat in a situation where they were initially considered to have a significant likelihood of emerging victorious.

Check!

Consider the reasons behind the cessation of the overheated tribal conflict subsequent to the victory! The Yorubas were convinced by the APC...the sitting government... that an individual (Lagos indigene) was of mixed heritage and was not considered a genuine Yoruba and instead was associated with the Igbo agenda. I mean, like how did you guys believe that unintelligible tact! So poor!

A significant number of individuals were deceived or say convinced that truly it was Igbos trying to take Lagos...so they fought back, resulting in the government reverting back to its previous state. Lol. The game was the focal point for the APC and they got it.


During elections, we are not Nigerians, we name our states first!

Let's continue...

The LP also was winning the presidential election. They employed the use of commotion in the LP strongholds, and when they saw it wasn't really working cos they were winning Lagos, Aduja, Jos etc, their plan-B was the last hope... EyeNeck !

It was also necessary to adjust the LP's score to the third position to have a better legal case in case.


They banked on the corrupt system. Why? "NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.". That's Nigeria for you! Nothing always not happen to the rich in Nigeria!

Also, don't you forget that the British never stopped colonising Nigeria. They only relocated to their country. It's cost-effective and easier to control pawns from a distance! Like no one will know it's neo-colonialism!


And guess what? The British always supports their pawns!


You see? Democracy isn't never of the people and by the people or for the people. It is actually want the govt wants and the people sees from far. In reality, the majority decisions do not always count!

If what's happening now were a movie, the script would have been adapted from everything you wrote up here. However, it's difficult for me to accept that the actors (politicians) are this smart because they have consistently proven otherwise over the years. Any which way sha, at this point, we can only wait and observe the turnout of events as they unfold.

That is politics.
