You mean he's heading to the WIKEnized Supreme court
Good luck to him sha.

I wish him the best because left to me he should rest
Posterity will reveal the truth
Whatever the truth is!

Metordman:
so is it a good thing in a democratic society?

No it's not
But what to do?

ejimatic:
I am not surprised that the appeals were struck out.The SC will do the same .

1. The SC has placed prominence on results de cleared at the poling units ,ward, local government,and state collation centers. The IREV results are rubbish in Nigeria with a lot of judgements and that of the SC jettisioning them.
Ighodalo will lose again in SC

2 If you prove a case of noncompliance , Evidence Act demands you call voters ,polling agents,and presiding officers to prove the case .It should not be based on analysts solely.
How many did Ighodalo call?

3. If you claim there was an infraction in 144 wards that means witnesses should come in about 110 wards . If 5 are called in each of them ,how many witnesses will testify? How many did Ighodalo call?
Sentiments apart,it will be difficult with the position of the SC to overturn election where a person wins in 10 local governments out of 18 and declare another person as winner.
It must be proved beyond every reasonable doubt.

have you forgotten what happened in Imo state?

How many local government did the governor win

Asue, just let go, my brother. Nigerian judiciary is so corrupt and can't be trusted to deliver a positive judgement. Even kids are aware of who won the Edo guber. Just let go.

He lost woefully . Because of Obaseki

It's Asue today, it could be you tomorrow.. and you would need this Justice.

The ruling Party set out to take Edo and it should matter to any concerned citizen how they take it. We shouldn't condone impunity on a platter of expediency.

You framed this conversation with a predetermined outcome. You have posed two sets of questions:
1. Did the ruling party set out to take Edo State?

2. Was the Court's decision legally incorrect?

These are two sets of distinct questions. While it might be true that APC desperately wanted Edo, it could also be true that PDP was unable to prove its case in court. These two truths can co-exist and that is the central point of my argument.

APC wanted Zamfara, and they did win the election there. But could not legally defend their claim in Court and we all know the implication.

NB: You said it is asue's turn today and it could be my turn tomorrow. Yes, thats true both in Nigeria and everywhere in the world. Or who told you that the courts in 'advanced countries' don't carry out miscarriage of justice?
