Imagine bringing your witness all the way from Edo state to Abuja, and lodging him in a good hotel and providing him with whatever he needs while promising him heaven and earth to lie and being on your side and whispering to him what you want him to say, only for him to testify against you in an open court grin grin

I fear for the man's life if APC lose this case.
Why should he accepts to be part of them in the first place?
I hope he would stomach what ever happened to him aftermath.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

[b]You guys don't know how the electoral and legal system works !

The first issue is it that it is universally recognized that there is no election that is 100% flawless anywhere in the world. The witness that has been called, despite scoring an own goal has only confirmed that there was over voting in only one (1) Polling Unit, out of several hundred Polling Units that were used during the election in Edo State. The judgement to sustain or overturn the election result would be determined based on if there are several of such infractions in several Polling Units that would be sufficient to affect the declared results in favour of the APC Gubernatorial Candidate. The volume of possible number of votes in the affected Polling Units where over voting took place must be greater than the margin of difference between the declared APC winner and the PDP loser that is challenging the process.

Therefore, before you get unnecessarily excited and at the end of the day the judgement does go in your favour, please note that there would have to be several of this type of revelation that must be in overwhelming volume, if not the result of the election stands as declared ![/b]

Over voting has taken place in 133 units across the entire state, not only in this particular unit. The individual testifying for the second respondent acknowledged over voting in his unit. The same acknowledgment is expected from others. If you subtract those units where over voting transpired, the PDP will emerge as the winner.

He is aware that he would face imprisonment if he were to say otherwise. He has no desire to perjure himself.

I already stated last week that the smart play is for APC and inec to close their case without presenting any witness since pdp failed in presenting any cogent witness. The defence will just rely on testimonies elicited from PDP witness to damage the case further. Once a petition fails, whatever the defence does is useless even if they admit to rigging

He actually AGREED to one out of MANY DOCUMENTS which the PDP presented.

If he agrees to it, it means that many others are also correct, until proven otherwise.

They stopped other witnesses from appearing, so that they cannot agree any further..
But the damage is already done.


They accepted that what the Petitioners are saying is true.

The APC witness revealed further that that particular units with over voting where cancelled and never collated. It's a dead case

I thought you learnt from atiku vs Buhari and obi vs atiku. He further revealed that those units where over voting occurred where cancelled contrary to PDP claims. There is no damage. PDP can only succeed on the strength of their petition and not on the weak defence of Apc

PDP failed to substantiate the over voting in any of the 133 units.this particular units was already cancelled so back to square 0

The voting results from this unit was invalidated, but the same result remained posted on IREV. The total accredited votes were 189, yet the total votes cast was 204. This unit results was added up and led to the Governor's lead over Ighodalo. What's your take on this my brother? 😂😂😂

What is on irev is irrelevant sir. The supreme court has rubbished irev. Inec said they cancelled and didn't collate it and this remains. Stop allowing irev confuse you. PDP has lost

There's no glaring evidence sir. His evidence is limited to his unit which if cancelled makes no difference
Don't support what is wrong please,yes the evidence is limited to his PU but the are hundreds of pu like that n that's why the governor has to quickly n shamefully close his case without calling more witnesses that could be bursted easily to reveal more odoriferous cankerworms,I guess he is now counting on behind the scenes dirty dealings,.The view that such na infraction in a pu is inconsequential such that even if the result is cancelled it would mean nothing is an argument that has long been employed by electoral manipulators supported by people like you forgetting that as the numbers of such cases increases, it's bound to affect the elections outcome,this was exactly what happened in 2023 where over ten thousand results sheets printed from inec IREV showed blank sheets yet results were declared in those pu n the tribunal turned a complete magical blind eye ears to them,thank God we are all feeling the heat n now USA n even Saudi Arabia are "dejapaning"Nigerians,2027 will surely be interesting,if our mumu never do us,body go tell us .

To you little mind, this is about APC n PDP only,but it's actually much more than that, it's about enthroning a system where achievement are made through decent means to guarantee genuine development of the country, perhaps you are benefitting from the crumbs of the deceitful process so you are ok,but mind you it wouldn't last forever, Thank God many countries are now chasing Nigerians back home,the table is likely going to turn, watch out.

I don't blame Akpakomiza2 but our judiciary that always dwell in technicality rather than the meet of the suit and that is why they are perpetuating irregularity and getting away with. Until this technicality is relegated to the background and face the truth to bring justice, a man like Akpakomiza2 will always rejoice in illegality, even the glaring ones.
