For instance, Peter Obi ought not be allowed to contest the 2023 presidential election. In this sense, by the time he lost the PDP primary, LP had submitted its list of members to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

This one just proved once again how this Tinubu administration have tainted the judiciary!

Very upright man. This man lives in the same bungalow since the 80's.
I see judges live in highbrow areas riding the fanciest of cars and I can help but imagine.

badoh:
That is his own opinion and how he looked at it. You may have contrary opinion, so everyone has the right to voice their opinion.

so what brought obi and his candidacy into the award they were giving him?

I agree fully with the opinion of the learned jurist. We argued about this severally before and after the 2023 general election but the Supreme Court failed woefully in their rulings on the election to give effect to the requirement of the law that requires Political Parties to submit their membership register to INEC 30 days before the election. Allowing people who are not on the party register to contest as candidates of the party made a mockery of that particular section of the electoral act.

This is proof that Obi never participated in the primaries....
Show me yours!

Racoon:
Anyone who wants to trend must mention Peter Obi. Just imagine what is coming from a former president of the court of appeal of a nation. This is the same man that adjucate in the Aregbesola case in Osun State and many other controversial judgements in the history of this nation.

For an ex Judge to descend this low actually says everything you need to know about his lack of integrity and how he has contributed to the bastardization of the judiciary to please his slavemaster.

It shows your level of understanding of events,as this your comments has really exposed you a lot?
So, Justice Ayo Salami wants to Trend or you did not know what you just wrote and as usual, obedient are vulgar and uncouth,so they drive others away to other Parties!
For your information, Justice Ayo Salami is a respected Legal Luminary,whose weight you can't carry!
So he has Stated the Position of the Law, given you too examples.
Nothing is so Special about your Obi, that he is making references,if need be but we know some of you Obedient that is drawing clairvoyance to claim relevant in ever changing Political arena where you no longer hold sand!
Ayo Salami does not need any introductions in Nigeria, as he has always been forthright and Stand for FACTS AND TRUTH!
He is not seeking or currying favour anywhere and that's why Many of you loses CASES in the Courts because it's about the Law,the Facts and Evidence!
Tell us what we need to know more,so we may help you.

Lol. You guys talking about primaries should go and read what the learned jurist complained about.

Did Obi participate in the primaries like the retired corrupt judge asserted? Yes or no!

Today, no one dares to say anything against the president except from a political point of view else you go hear am

JuanDeDios:
What have you said now? You have not engaged the issues he raised. Did the Supreme Court uphold the constitution or not by countenancing the candidacy of the likes of Obi and Yusuf who joined their parties after they the parties had submitted their candidate lists to INEC?

Did the constitution say you cannot join a party less than 30 days to an election?

bentenny:

Mtcheeeeew. Stop spamming my mention if you can’t read and understand.

Kukutente23:

Seriously

seunmsg:
Lmao, you should stick to arguing against the point he made instead of attacking his personality. The 2022 electoral act was very clear about the mandatory requirement of all political parties to submit their membership register to INEC 30 days before the election. I can bet if Tinubu had moved to another party after the submission of the party’s register, you would have argued that he’s not qualified to contest since his name is not in the party’s register.


So, let’s always be dispassionate and less emotional when taking position on matters like this. We should stop standing law on its head because it’s convenient at a particular time.

Shut up abeg....

The background information he is giving you is the reason why the man will never reason properly as a judge in the first place.

All his useless attacks if for the opposition parties, why can't he talk about Akpabio and Lawan that mysteriously came back to the senate after party primaries has been concluded.

Anyway, from the part of the country he is coming from, it will be a miracle if he is not a HYPOCRITE.


🤔🤔

Did LP tell you and the corrupt disgraced bigoted ayo salami that?

Iamajike:
No. But his name is not on the LP submitted list to Inec.

fergie001:
When they elevated you to the Supreme Court in 2011, why did you refuse to go? Instead you chose to leave the Judiciary rather than go to the Supreme Court to show that your expertise. Now, you didn't go to the Supreme Court and as President of the Appeal Court, you as well as Kayode Ariwoola then In the Appeal Court were directly accused of procuring judgements for Aregbesola (Osun) and Fayemi (Ekiti).

Milord Justice Salami, you know the principle of stare decisis means you should not be discussing issues like this. You can recall Sir, it was because of that strong allegation that Kayode Ariwoola's elevation to the Supreme Court was delayed.

It was because of the allegation of helping the ACN that for the first time the Supreme Court & NASS changed the rule to ensure that Governorship elections go higher to the Supreme Court and not end at the Appeal Court like before 2011.

Milord, I also hope you are conversant with the Electoral Act 2022 that persons outside those who participated in the Primary should not be challenging same, an age-long principle even when you were at the Appeal Court as far as 2007, membership issues are non-jurisdictional. Are you aware Sir that forgery has been removed from the Electoral Act 2026? Justice Salami, are you aware that some people are in their positions in the NASS without participating in their parties' respective primaries?

“For instance, Peter Obi ought not be allowed to contest the 2023 presidential election. In this sense, by the time he lost the PDP primary, LP had submitted its list of members to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)”.

The man certainly is out of tunes with reality. He forgot that Obi did not contest the said primary as he resigned from PDP.

Why are you majoring on Electoral Jurisprudence?
Why are you not talking about Administration of Criminal Justice and other forms litigation were judges have messed up big time?
Just that you've been part of the mess in Electoral Dispute cases right from the days of Jonathan, which culminated to your suspension and early retirement, until APC - the then opposition which you favoured brought you back to head a probe panel on Magu's EFCC.
Until today what was the outcome of that probe you conducted with tax payers money?
Have you bothered to insist that the outcome of the probe be made public?
What happened between Mr. Obono Obla and you?

How did Senate President Godswill Akpabio emerge and became a Senate President?
How did the immediate former Senate President Lawan return to the Senate?
You chose the speak of PO who's not occupying any political office, but leave those who are sitting in offices as a result of that your perceived miscarriage of justice.

Make una leave Peter Obi!
Person wey him God no kill, nobody fit kill am!

It’s funny how slow you people can be. Someone is simply interpreting the law but because he’s talking about your lord and savior he’s not saying the right thing. But sooner than later you will be here shouting if it was in a “saner clime” u people mention sane clime when you are insane.


He’s talking about what the law says and what’s happening in the judiciary. Sometimes, you people should learn to take the message and leave the messenger.

U want a good country but your favorite was boycotting the normalcy because of his desperation.

As much as I love Tinubu, if this same thing was said about him I would rather keep quiet instead of being here to attack that man.

You want good country but ordinary truth you can’t swallow it and ruminate on it. But sooner than later Tinubu will be the one that snatch your wife. Tueh!

Racoon:
Peter Obi didn't contest as presidential aspirant under the PDP primary. Meanwhile this bigot didn't talk about the present duncehead who gatecrashed into our national life with all manner of criminal baggages.

What about the likes of Godswill Akpabio or Ahmed Lawan who didn't contest but won election into the Senate? Tribalism and parochial sentiments is the bane of this nation

See the audacity and manner he used to describe those men. Uncultured "trybe". Thank God Omoluabi ni mi 💯. Ire ooo

I disagree completely. The Supreme Court reached that decision based on available law. Party membership is totally an internal affair of a political party.

The man has also lost his memory that Peter Obi never contested in the PDP primaries in 2023. He left the party before primaries when everything pointed to the fact that it was going to go to the highest bidder, and that zoning agreement was going to be thrown to the dustbin.

So the man is suffering from a temporary or even permanent memory blip. And probably using Peter Obi to trend. Why did he not mention the most callous cases of all in recent times that has to do with Nnamdi Kanu as example? Fear strangers and old people. This Peter Obi don see shege from una.

They have pocketed all our useless govermors and yet they are still scared of Obi

They all know he is widely accepted and that makes him a dangerous candidate.

Even the hypocrite Sowore that supposed to be an opposition is attacking Peter Obi.

fergie001:
Well, I am dispassionate but the man is hitting the Justices of higher Courts, something you will k!ll Obidients for.

Again, infact we have a situation where the current CRS Deputy Governor was in two parties at the same time, PDP & APC. You know my position on Tinubu and the 2023 election, I bet you remember. Only persons who participated in the same Primaries with them cozld challenge same. Is it not in the Electoral Act?
Is Justice Ayo Salami not aware that in 2007 the Supreme Court ruled that INEC had no power whatsoever to disqualify anybody, only the courts.

So who would have sued Obi or Abba, since they both ran alone in their respective primaries?

You don't get it.
If there is a register issue , it is INEC's responsibility to spot it out.
The Register was submitted to INEC..
Only a Party can determine her members, not INEC.

The Supreme Court Judgement bars INEC even till tomorrow from disqualifying any candidate. Again, issues of membership and political leadership are outside of the court's jurisdiction, it's been there since he was even in the Appeal Court. Again, the Electoral Act is subject to the Nigerian Constitution.

I am not a member of the APC, is it my responsibility to determine members who are of the APC? Membership of any political party is voluntary. The CFRN does not set a timeline for joining these parties hence no Act can do so. The Constitution is the fons et erigo, the Supreme document that all other Acts must pay obeisance to. And as voluntary organisations all over the world, you don't have a time where the door is shut, excepting the rules of that political party say so. Again Section 40 classifies the freedom of association to join trade associations and political parties provided one is subject to their laws and rules. The Electoral Act cannot torpedo the Constitution.

Like political parties, like the Boys Brigade and all that. INEC cannot tell a Party who is their member, infact that provision by virtue of its inconsistency is illogical and should be null. INEC is not a member of any political party. Assuming without conceding I am wrong, who will now challenge the membership of that political party, a fellow Party member, INEC or an outsider?

Don't mind him. People who did nothing to uphold rule of law when they were in office. Na dem come talk wetin no good today.

At least that election is gone and has no impact again. So until you can prove him wrong, Ayo salami is still saying what he observe or know here.

He just said the absolute truth but you won't agree because you're emotional about it. Was Peter Obi's name in the LP member register as at the time he defected to LP from PDP in 2022? NO! He wasn't on their register and the quota system and corruption and tribalism was why he got away with it which also applicable to you if you deny this facts.

There are men who read law, knew the law and applied the law. If you read law reports of years back detailing some sound judgments you'd know and if you read law reports of recent years, you'll know that the judiciary has gone to the dogs who are only interested in political gifts; cars, mansions etc.

why won't you agree with him. Your type won't disappoint.

If Peter Obi hadn't contested , Atiku would have won
