Rubbish

shevon:


I will totally agree with you saying the action is tantamount to rubbish is there is no precedent.
However, if there was a precedent to such, then they might end up winning in a clean and fair trial.

I wonder where our law makers, I mean APC, got their facts from. Atiku was not sworn in as governor of adamawa state when Boni Haruna took over from him. Atiku had just won the election in 1999 when obasanjo named him as his running mate. Boni Haruna being atiku running mate automatically stepped in as governor elect, and was duly sworn in. Boni completed his four year tenure as governor of adamawa state and contested and won a second term of another four year in 2003. He handed over to nyako in 2007. Atiku was never governor of adamawa state.

What happened to the part in which the constitution states a person may only be sworn in as a president 2 times?

Whether u like it or not, both incidents are similar. Both never contested and both ended up taking positions of contested and elected people.

veraponpo:

I will be glad because the constitution is clear. You cannot be sworn in 3 times.

There is already a precedence

I know he would win in court. So, we should concentrate on how we're gonna BringHimBackToOtuoke in the 2015 General Elections. Since, he completed Yaradua's tenure in his first 2yrs in office like the same way Ramalan Yero is completing Yakowa's tenure!

Unfortunately by law there is nothing like "completing" someones tenure. The constitution and the SC ruling on Haruna Vs INEC and the SC ruling that sacked 5 Govs in 2012.
1. The ticket is a joint ticket, and both the candidate and running-mate are a team not separated.
2. The tenure if 4 years for every term. Yaradua/Jonathan won the 2007-2011 term as join. Jonathan only succeeded his boss who he won the ticket with.
3. By law, a person canNOT spend more than 8years as a substantive President but can spend less (SC ruling on the 5 Govs in 2012).
4. Jonathan took his first oath of office as the substantive President in May 2010 for his first tenure(According to SC ruling on Boni Haruna) and another in 2011 for his 2nd Term. Taking a 3rd will represent an unconstitutional 3rd term in office.
5. Should Jonathan win 2019, it wÍll mean thÀt he will spend more Þhan 8Ýrs in office which is unconstitutional(SC ruling of 2007 and 2012)
6. It is a big legal hurdle for Mr. Jonathan.


My Verdict:
He is not qualified to run! But I leave it to learned Judges

PPAngel:

By this usesless assertion you mean to say deputy governors can not aspire for governorship slot after the expiration of their joint ticket?

Let it simmer into that empty skull of yours before contemplating a reply

You obviously have comprehension difficulty Mr. Trolling Man

Please you deserve one cup of iced water to cool off after responding to that character.

Are these APC dudes high on ganjaweeds or something else Or are they so scared of losing hence their search for imaginary shortcut

APC should present a better candidate and stop wasting its time on GEJ.
