Tinubu forged his certificate he presented to INEC, he forfeited 460k for narcotics,
he commited perjury, he has dual citizenship, he did not get 25% Abuja, he rigged the election.

Why are you defending the Supreme Court that a retiring justice Dattijo called corrupt and compromised? Do you know more than a justice of the Supreme Court?

The retired justice was querying the powers vested on the cjn and not the judiciary son.
There was no proof that tinubu forged his cert.moreover,the issue was raised legally out of time.there was no proof of perjury.
The constitution never said 25% is mandatory in FCT nor that dual citizenship is illegal.the law forbids ex convicts from vying for elections not those that forfeit money.moreover,the money forfeited wasn't his

DMerciful:
The court is the reason for the many litigations because the have made technicality the primary determination of their jurisprudence.

Most senators and representatives who went to court despite their irev not tempered with did so to compromised the already corrupt judges not to look at merit but technicality

The court won't abandon it's ways to please ur emotions.

And how about the results that have been upturned due to invalid votes and overvoting? Atleast the issue of pre election matters have been rightly restored by appeal courts.

The question is how many? Kano issue doesn't even count. Try to get what I'm sorry. Nigeria has been used to systemic corruption, and it is expected they would always find a way to circumvent innovations due to weak institutions. The sad reality now is that the courts have Validated the illegalities. We were supposed to be making progress with technology (Osun comes to mind). However, to achieve a sinister motive the Nigerian Court has thrown away the baby and the bathing water, and I'm only asking, if you feel technology didn't help us, what will?

PS. Do you also know that since petitioners cannot subpoena adversarial witnesses like INEC, it would be impossible for petitioners to prove any case? A lot of things went wrong, and the consequences are in future terms.

Where's the proof he forged his certificate?. The Retired justice never made allusion to supreme court being corrupt, he was making referrences to the CJN's powers and other inhouse issues of welfare and replacement of justices. Losers as usual have turned it to propaganda.

Its in the law and it's compulsory. Fraudulent people using loopholes to shortchange the system

Thr constitution forbids affirming the elections of certificate forgers but the Supreme Fraud used the loophole of time bound to prevent certificate forgery from being pronounced upon

Pakute:

The court cannot make what is not in the law compulsory, receive sense. Until the law is reviewed by the senate.

Pakute:
There are over 1,900 estimated election petitions from the 2023 elections, mostly the federal and state house of assembly despite the fact that both elections were transmitted realtime during election. Many winners have been sacked by the courts, sacking and counter sacking by PEPT and Appeal court. As the judiciary rightly ruled that IREV is only a viewing portal, hence it does not determine the winner or loser of an election. If transmitting realtime on IREV was the ultimate, then there would not have been this much number of litigation. Neither INEC or the IREV is the problem but the manipulations at the grassroots. An example is a certain Cynthia Okeke who manipulated votes for LP's presidential candidate and went under the radar, such a dubious manipulations would have been uploaded realtime on IREV thereby giving the public a false impression of victory. It is disingeneous from the oppositions in their attempt to deligitimize a free, fair and credible election just because IREV wasn't uploaded.

This boy Always eager to play the fool.

You submitted that the SC said IRev is no more than a result viewing portal like livescore and not tenable as a result collation or declaration system yet you still blame IRev for the multitude of petitions before the courts. Are you not confused?
I thought you zombified cretins said this elections was the best in the history of Nigeria.

What the courts do not understand is that the judgement(s) they are giving is not for now but for the future. In future, a student of political science will wonder why Rivers was declared for Tinubu by INEC while he lost the state on IRev. Such student will notice the Cynthia Okereke blunder and wonder why it was not corrected at point of collation. He will wonder how an election adjudged free and fair could have 18,000 blurred results and will come away with the impression that the elections held in Guinea or Gabon and not the Nigeria he knows or think he knows.

Secondly, you are unaware that EA2022 actually states that any rule made by INEC as part of its guidelines will form part of our electoral laws unless otherwise stated by the courts. See section 148 and 149 of the EA2022. So to claim IRev is just a viewing portal when the INEC regulations clearly stated that results should be directly transmitted to IRev for collation officers to use as confirmation is just tardy by the courts. It is a question of integrity and trust in our electoral process. If INEC is at liberty to change its laws as it deems fit and at any stage in the process, it implies the elections are subject to the whims and caprices of INEC which our laws never intended.

Thirdly, you claim that the only way out is to sanitize our elections at the grassroots. You must either be ignorantly dumb or just pretending. IRev is supposed to transmit results real time from the PUs which are the grassroots to INEC server. If that is pooh-poohed and you justify it, can you tell us exactly how else you intend to sanitize the electoral system? You are simply a noisemaker and rabble rouser bereft of the basic form of human intelligence.

Well, you're doing a bad job.
An election that has two states whose results are different from that officially announced can't be called the best since 1999.
An election where INEC changed the rules towards the end of the game can't be described as credible. The rule of fairness demands verity and consistency. INEC broke that rule by going against their own guidelines. Section 2 of EA2022 lists the core function of INEC as educating and informing voters about the electoral process and procedure. INEC flouted that section by basically misinforming the voters about what to expect for electronic transmission of results.
Any results overturned or cancelled at the polling unit is supposed to be labelled so on IRev. It's a testament to your ignorance that you don't know that fact. IRev has a medium for reporting cancelled results.
Go check on the site.
SC has been playing hide and seek with efforts at our electoral integrity since 2015. It was same SC that trashed PVCs in 2015. Same SC trashed INEC server in 2019 and now they just trashed electronic transmission of results.
Meanwhile all the EAs we've had since 2007 have always given INEC enough latitude to determine the best way to execute elections. For example, INEC is at liberty to determine the forms used in recording and collation of results according to EA2022. All the EC series are product of INEC guidelines and not EA and the court has always admitted them. So just imagine that on the eve of elections INEC decides to change the forms. Is SC saying that will be acceptable? What about the voters card? If INEC comes out on the eve of an election to change the PVC format, is SC saying INEC will be within their rights? If so, why did SC rail against and ultimately cancel the newly designed naira notes claiming public interest? Our SC is far from being on the right track in these political cases.

You're giving excuses for criminality to continue.

Kukutente23 thank you for your feedback, however a simple mind cannot understand the law. The law empowers INEC to determine the mode of transmission which must howeveq be consistent with the law and manual collation is the provision of the law. As a matter of fact, the court could have cancelled the election if manual collation was abadoned. PVC, Inec server and other bullshit are not in the law.

This is where you always miss it. Are we discussing collation or transmission of results? The law also empowers INEC on voters card, electronic registry and electoral forms. PvC is not in the law yet you have it don't you? That's exactly my point. There is nothing like manual collation in our EA. If you have it share with me. The word collation simply means adding up the results at ward, area, state level as the case may be. It is practically impossible to do collation manually.

If you don't know what technicality means, I cannot help you

Oga technicality has no meaning in law,u only hear other people say it and u join them in using the term. People merely use it to refer to judges sticking to the very letters of d law. The law says u cannot bring in new evidence at the Supreme Court, u still go ahead to present such, d evidence is tossed away according to the law, u cry technicality. The law says criminal matters can not be originated at the SC, u still go ahead to urge d SC to assume original jurisdiction over a criminal matter, d judges refuse cos the law says they should refuse, u cry technicality. The law gives u 21 days to file all your grounds for contesting an election result declaration, u wait for 5 months then introduce a fresh ground, d SC rightly tosses it away, u cry technicality.
What u call technicalities are d basic foundation of our laws, set them aside and u deliver injustice to d other party. Take a case of d Chicago deposition. Deposition is not a court judgement, it's a statement of evidence by a witness. Now u did a deposition that was not sanctioned first by a Nigerian court, all those u sued in Nigeria like d APC and INEC (who are actually d first respondents), u never invited them to d deposition so they never had d chance to also cross examine d deponents, d rules of deposition in d US are different in Nigeria cos in Nigeria it has to be in a court room, u bring such deposition and want d SC to accept it. If d SC does, are they also going to give d respondents d time go and bring their own evidence to counter whatever u are saying in d deposition? Cos d deposition is merely statement by witness was not a court judgement. And d SC has less than 30 days from that day to conclude on d matter. These are things u should had done at d trial stage, if d SC accepts it at d stage it would do great injustice to d other party.
Forgery is criminal, to pronounce a document is forged, u need a police report and forensic investigation. U fail to do that and wants to ambush d SC at d last minute. Totally unacceptable and illegal. And to cover up, u claim it's technicalities. No it's not technicalities, it's the law!
