Mr Atlwire, i have read reasonable post from you in the past and i hope you are still redeemable from the path of perdition you are toeing over this PDP issue please respond intelligently to Section 182.1 (i) of 1999 constitution and tell the house how Fayose can escape the provision without resorting to violence:

Pretender, you are the only one, that needs the sawdust in your brain examined.

Soloter:
If INEC clearance was that authentic why was Fayose perturbed to the point of ordering and supervising the beating of a judge as well as the damage done to court records. note that this didn't happen once.

Ngwakwe:
Governor Elect Ayo Fayose must be sworn in come October 15, 2014 to avert the disaster cum revolution that will consume the Elites (Politicians and Judges inclusive) involved in trying to subvert the will of the people.

Judicial Activisms must be stopped to uphold the supremacy of the people as the ultimate source of Democratic Power.

Every attempt to subvert Democracy by the Military or Judicial Political Activists masquerading as Magistrates and Judges must be stopped and forced to abide by the law rather than being Law themselves.

Timehin:
About two days ago i viewed a repeat version of a political programme on Television Continental, the chairman and secretary of E-11 were guests.

Inspite of their efforts to make viewers believe they are messiahs trying to save ekiti from Fayose they only end up exposing themselves.

Its a shame that some elements are attempting to subvert the will of the people under the guise of rule of law.

emmatok:
What do disaster, you are not from Ekiti not even a Yorubaman and you are shouting disaster.
The SW will handle thief issue well.

Ayed44:
There are so many Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) on nairaland these days. But unfortunately Fayose's case will not be determined on nairaland. Until a court of competent jurisdiction rules against him, Fayose remains the governor-elect of Ekiti state and he will be sworn-in on October 16, 2014. The legal battle can continue after he assumes office as the Governor of Ekiti state. Please don't forget that the legal battle will drag on for years because the case will be dragged up to the Supreme court. The only hope the E-11 have is to prevent his swearing-in on October 16, but I'm afraid that is too late now.

Ngwakwe:
This is not a regional matter. Ekiti citizens are defending their choice, the mandate to govern their state.

The same people that voted Ayo Fayose will never allow few power hungry megalomaniacs to subvert their right to choose who governs them.

The handwriting is already on the wall for all anti-democrats to read.

Power belongs to the people

Tundeajani:
get thisfact right.the law is greater than the people. simple.

eledacedar:
Even the anchor of the programme was biased until some callers challenged him. He was putting words in their mouth. Only when he was challenged did he call for those on Fayose's side to come and air their own side of the matter.

belief doesnt work in the law court.you have to prove your facts beyond reasonable doubt..since the claim of the e eleven is in the constitution gadagba gadagba with no iota of lacuna at all..my brother forget ghana must go..if fayose do pass himself gan..dem go charge with treason...e sofun ko wonna ti court ofini joko ni october fourteen..aje be...i sorry for you his followers

Timehin:
Be sorry for yourself!

You lawyers claimed to be learned but your so called temple of justice reeks of corruption.

And if I may ask, why did E-11 congratulated Fayose for winning the election via a signed statement on 22nd june by its chairman but had to make a u-turn now Are they afraid that their interests in fountain hotels and other projects aint assured and may be threatened

And for clarification i am not a follower of fayose but concerned about the will of ekiti indigenes.

rickkid:
I think we can see the "progressives" in their true form now.
The bible says that everything that is carefully concealed must be exposed. You've used all your media propaganda and that didn't work. Fayemi the horrible, insufferable, hypocritical, pretentious, obnoxious snake of human being lost in all 16 local government areas including his own. His own hometown voted him out.
Now yeye don dey smell. They're trying all the dirty tricks in their arsenal to remain in power by force.
Shebi October 16 is just next week.
Let's see which hurricane will stop Fayose from being sworn in.

That button which is clearly marked "Do Not Push" which you are determined to push, I hope you are ready to face what will happen if you actually push it.

Tundeajani:
you sound like desperate agbero....incite voilence and end up in jail.nigeria operate on law not thuggery.

Is a real pity a citizen, educated at that is threatening violence if the provision of the law from which the very governorship powers is derived and binds us all together as a people is implemented.

It is a real pity educated Nigerians lack understanding of what a constitution means, the understanding that makes US constitution crafted in 1776 still relevant and revered till this moment

Timehin:
Though i am not a spokesperson for Fayose but I believed INEC cleared him to contest the election. And if he wasn't qualified as claimed by E-11, he should have been stopped via the necessary legal action before the election not after the people gave him their mandate.

Timehin:
So what happens to the will of the people? Do you think Ekiti people will just sit back and allow their mandate be jettisoned

Tundeajani:
''the supremacy of the will of the people is sometimes subject to debate but the fact that the law is above every one is an incontrovertivible postulation'' even if amosquitoe brings a case before an honourable judge and he gets its fact right,whether the other party is as big as nigeria and china combined,mosquitoe alias efon will win the case.
This is the case here all the write up of mustapha ogunsakin here to a learned should be no more than reading a story of the pathos genre meant to arouse emotion.unfortunately for pdp and fayose it is unpresentable before the court of law.

Demdem:
INEC isnt empowered to interpret the law, The courts will. let the court decide if he indeed is qualified to run.

Demdem:
The law of the land far supersedes the will of some people. Govt has sworn to uphold the law and its expected that this should be done. As soon as a court make a declaration, i expect the govt to obey and abide.

Timehin:
Is the law made for man or man made for the law Parts of our constitution needs an overhaul in reference to some of our rights as expressed via our will.

However i don't have a problem with judges that are apolitical and fair in their judgements but unfortunately the so called 'last hope of the common man' is gradually falling under the grip of corrupt politicians.

maestroferddi:
Forget that thing!

Politics, law and anything other human affair has an intrinsic tinge of sentiment and/or emotion despite the assumption to the contrary.

I am not not siding with any party but people should get a handle on their hypocrisy and chicanery.

I was watching Channel's Sunrise programme today featuring the chairman of the so-called E-11, one Mr Ajiniran (I hope I got the name correct).

The man practically got on air to embarrass himself on national TV. He started by purported to be a disinterested party and was mouthing off how he and his amorphous group held Ekiti interest at heart. However, his humiliation reached an epic proportion when very simple questions were directed at him. The man was mumbling and blabbing away and was must have been sweating in a fully air-conditioned studio. He made no attempt to answer the questions and reconcile the sundry inconsistencies his stories precipitated.

His badly blended cocktail of lies came crashing down when Maupe and co put him on the spot by linking up with the counterparty...

I was like, what a monumental faux pas!

Nigerians are not gullible as some of these people make them to be...
