Bro maybe International court, not in Nigerian court. The Judiciary is the APC and ApC is the judiciary. Just make sure to create more awareness for yourself incase you don't win and see you in 2031 bro. These set of politicians will do everything in their might to stop you. Except God and Nature helps you. I see nothing you can do Obi.
Why are you deceiving him? Who told you he will have an opportunity to even contest in 2031? Have you forgotten the unwritten constitution that rotates the presidency between the north and south at eight years intervals?

The fact remain that Obi will only have a chance only if Tinubu wakes up one day to say he's no longer contesting in 2027. And that probability is zero.

2031 is the turn of the North and we all know that they're warming up for that already.

I dare say that Atiku might have a chance in 2031 if only he can play his card well. But for Peter Obi, it's very unlikely.

Ode man,the constitution wey court go take give you verdict,who draft am?
pls how old are you?,you should be old enough to know that the court will judge based on the constitution and it is the same legislators that drafted the constitution that drafted the electoral act…data is cheap in Nigeria and that’s why every tom dick and harry comes online to present rubbish,anyway if Obi doesn’t know better,how can his followers know
So if the legislators prescribe death penalty for a kidnapper,you will go to court and challenge it to a bailable offence?,a new Nigeria is possible with these kind of thinking truly.
You want to do opposition and you can’t even think smarter than the ruling party,after you will start nsogbu eyinmba.is this the kind of sense that APC used to condemn PDP?
there is a difference between the constitution and an Act, you should also know better Nr Prof

Eg, If an amended Police Acts passed byvthe legislators says the police should shoot any suspect on sight, that's against the constitution and the judiciary has the power to nullify such legislative Act.

The knew electoral Act has just permitted criminals and forgers to run for president and any electoral position, that's an illegal section and against the constitution, this should be knocked off by the Judiciary, that's checks and balances in democracy Mr Prof

Come you think say nigeria election is decided in nigeria. Oga obama and biden was pure Apc and USA and CANADA has declared nigeria APC a terrorist party. Obama brought in apc and has sponsored iran terrorist govt. Don't be fool by local politics the fate of nigeria is in the hand of Donald trump period.

When we say this man is not educated and lack the capacity to be president, this is an evidence. It's now INEC that make law, not national Assembly anymore. Obi followers you see your leader ought to vie for Councelloship position not president.

This is not tribalism. Even Atiku himself knows that it's not his turn but he's just there to deplete votes for the contending parties and more importantly, to stay in the limelight because he knows he will continue to contest till whenever God says he might win and have an opportunity to rule.

But for Peter Obi, the contest is supposed to be between him and Tinubu but Obi is not very prepared. Remember he's just joined the party yesterday for an election that's less than a year.

I don't want to talk much.

Peter Obi , you don't Stand a Chance in 2027 presidential election...

Your Grounded membership are on Twitter and social media..

And Social media Election doesn't count.

Peter Obi you too workout the permutations and see for yourself..
In reality, nobody is supposed to be responding to this kind of comments any longer this time around..

Winning the mind of the people is not a problem.

Actually winning the votes is not a problem too..

The real problem is “protecting the winning” from being stolen.
Re: Peter Obi Vows To Challenge The Electoral Act In Court by abbasajao(m): 12:27pm On Mar 08
Nobody has been able to tell how OBI is different from other politicians in the country. At least, he was a governor for 8 good years. What did he change?
He just busy roaming the street shouting up and down.

Wait oo..

Are you saying that:... “out of all the numerous offices that are available to be contested and to be won through all the numerous elections to be conducted by the INEC.. -- and since it happens that the rules for conducting all the elections is solely based the “Faulty” Electoral Act 2026 -- then,, anybody who calls out the “Faulty” Electoral Act 2026 is “straight-away” talking about Peter Obi.??

So, nobody can wake up one day and speak-up about anything that he thinks is not going well,, just because some people would summarily conclude that the person is saying those things just because of the person is supporting Peter Obi.??

What type of stereotyping is this one again naa?

Nigerians: Make electronic transmission of result mandatory !

Akpabio's Senate: We don't have network coverage everywhere in Nigeria.

Network Operators: We have covered every part of Nigeria and even the slowest internet category(GPRS) can do the work effectively.

Akpabio's Senate: No, we love Nigerians too much and cannot risk it.



Yet Jambites are forced all over the country to use the same network to gain admission into university.

Meanwhile:
Jambites are not time bound with their application neither are they location bound, it can assure you that many people completing online applications may be unsuccessful due to technical network errors during the process, the server may become overloaded however that is not a catastrophic failure, as the individual mat retry at another location at another time.

With elections that is different, the expectations is that the over 176,000 Poling units would be successfully uploaded at the completion of election once the EC8 form has been completed noted by the security agents, election officer and party agents.

The failure to upload if a caveat wasn't in place would be that election would be deemed incomplete and inclusive, that is a misnomer and I'd say that can be challenged in court as any citizen can state disenfranchisement on the basis of bias due to location.

The law is best as is, Nigeria doesn't have electronic voting neither do we have electronic collation so why people are so fixated on the photocopy that would be uploaded to IRev is rather perplexing.

We should rather insist on videography of the polling stations.

What if starlinks have connection issues to on election day, what will happen?

U people have realized u are losing the election for sure so u are looking for d best way to push d blame on.

No I am not saying that. You haven't presented yout arguments in a choherent manner, in my own opinion, and as an Obidient, you will find fault in anything INEC do anyway.

Take the last elections, INEC declared the winner as soon as they collated the results, you claimed they changed figures and did it while everyone was sleeping. If they has waited till 9am to declare it, you would no doubt have said they manipulated it all morning.

We know the playbook of "damned if they do, damned if they don't", you people suppose rest.

Nutin do una anyway.

We are talking about the necessary amendments which are required in the new Electoral Act 2026.
Leave those rumours in the past. Or maybe you should go to where I said such a thing and quote me there.

Like I said, I am more interested in a good Electoral Act which serves the people and the votes they casted.
Once it comes into play, let anybody win.
I am not really interested in who wins.

What is the one saying?

you are just talking off key, it is like you are still working with outdated information, so you don't know Jambites write their exams online at designated centers all over the country just like INEC has designated polling units all over the country ?

benardtotti:
Oga rest both individual have their strong points and have proved it , fiscal discipline obi is good, while economic growth and development is tinubu .

If you look at independent data-based performance indices comparing their time as governors, most widely cited research tends to rate Peter Obi higher than Bola Ahmed Tinubu on certain development metrics — but the conclusion depends on which indicators you use.
1. Global development-index comparison (often cited online)
A study using data from Global Data Lab compared development outcomes in:
Anambra State during Obi’s tenure (2007–2014)
Lagos State during Tinubu’s tenure (1999–2007)
It examined indicators such as:
Gross National Income per capita
Human Development Index (HDI)
Life expectancy
Education index
Health index
Income index
Result:
The data showed Anambra under Obi performed better across the six indicators used in the analysis. �
Switch Nigeria +1
So on that “human development performance index” style analysis, Obi ranked higher.
2. Fiscal and economic management comparison
However, if you use economic transformation metrics, Tinubu is often rated strongly:
Tinubu (Lagos)
Increased Lagos Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from about ₦600 million/month in 1999 to over ₦8 billion/month by 2007.
Built tax systems and institutions that made Lagos the richest state in Nigeria. �
X (formerly Twitter)
Obi (Anambra)
Focused on fiscal discipline and debt reduction.
Reportedly left office with over ₦75 billion in savings and investments and no domestic debt. �
X (formerly Twitter)
✅ Simple conclusion
Human-development and governance index comparisons:
→ Peter Obi rated higher
Revenue growth and economic restructuring:
→ Bola Tinubu rated higher
So the answer depends on what “performance index” you mean.
So your own answer also rated fiscal discipline and governance of Peter Obi higher than Tinubu, the question I will ask you is: which is more important to you:

Revenue growth for the government or good governance for the people?

My last one on this, so if Peter Obí wins, in whatever party he decides to go to eventually, you will still bemoan the Electoral Act 2026 àbi?

I wouldn't even mind you not liking the Act and would welcome you opening it up for debate actually, it's the fact the you just are not giving others an opportunity to challenge you on it with your long post lumping everything together.

Anyway, we go dey ok las las.

Jamb don’t conduct exams everywhere, they only conduct it where facilities are available. You have no idea how far some aspirants have to travel to take the exam. Even with that, some centers still have issues.
Same with INEC, they only conduct it at designated points too...

Or do you have polling unit in your bedroom?

With over 1 trillion budget, what excuse are they giving?

Does Jamb even get 1/10 of that ?

If Peter Obi rigs and wins,, then he should be dragged to court mercilessly,, and that stolen mandate of his be stripped-off of him..

He doesn't deserve to win if he thinks that he has to rig..

Same ADC that couldn't build standard website for her party dey call for real-time transmission of results.
Is INEC conducting election in your bedroom?

is it not also at selected locations?

So with over 1 trillion naira budget they cannot ensure real time transfer of election results?

Ok, let me help you, the BVAS machine works online and offline, once results are submitted in an offline location, it cannot be altered, all BVAS machines are transported back to INEC head quarters.

While on transit, Any BVAS machine that results were submitted in an offline location, once there is network it connects itself and sends the result automatically to the server.

This tech was sponsored and initiated by the APC government, the question is:

Why don't they want to use this same tech effectively and efficiently, why spend so much money for a tech and then disregard it if not to make provision for cheating and manipulation?

Just make the BVAS result mandatory where everyone will see it and cannot be manipulated after submission, the want paper results they can manipulate at collation centers...

They refused to even pass the bill that says the BVAS result must tally with the paper result, at least to put some control against rigging...

Abeg you guys should stop this nonsense, you guys made me give up on the unity of Nigeria.
