ALL DIS CHARGE AND BAIL LAWYER SEF
Ogah barrister, why not concentrate on how to change that your tear tear briefcase, do some balancing and alignment on your shoes, look for some money and return to law school instead of disgracing yourself on social media on matters that you know nothing about.

Thank me later.
the way this APC idiots run their mouth is even what puts me off.If not for GEJ's meekness who will even have the effrontery to institute such a stupid court case in the first place

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.
Yoruba will say "ori e owa nbe" its like APC de fear GEJ

if you beleive GEJ would lose that court case,then you will believe anything!!! una never see anything sef.
This is not a question of Jonathan or no Jonathan, it is a constitutional matter that ought to be settled by the Court to avoid daylight rappe to our democracy and our laws.

bros this is Nigeria and not the US.Constitutionally GEJ can contest but even if that is not the case no Judge would dare deliver judgement against him in such a case.It can never happen here irrespective of who is the president.

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 is 4 years for every term. Yaradua/Jonathan won the 2007-2011 term as joint. 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-actually in continuation of 2007-2011(According to SC ruling on Boni Haruna) and another in May 2011 for his 2nd Term. Taking a 3rd oath will represent an unconstitutional 3rd term in office.
5. Should Jonathan win 2019, it wÍll mean thÀt he will spend more than 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
plz help me with this question. based on ur point that says "they are team and not separated" assuming that yaradua didn't die and completed eight years with GEJ As his vice. would GEJ have been eligible to now contest as president After serving as vice in two terms?

ofcourse yes, why? Because he didn't occupy the seat as a substantive President. It means that though they were elected as a team, it was the Principal that enjoyed the ticket as a substantive PResident. However, the moment he took an oath as the President, it is deemed a continuation of their ticket and their tenure. It counts for him even if it is one minute, that term will be attributed to him.

They should also sue ibrahim geidam of yobe state. Ibrahim geidam completed the tenure of his late boss mamman bello ali, from jan 27 2009 - may 29 2011. Geidam is currently doing his first term as governor of yobe state. The law is very clear on this issue. Jonathan has the constitutional right to contest for next yr election nd same with ibrahim geidam.

My friend, the Best Jonathan can do is to do Fayose Style by delaying Judgment and disrupting court sitting till after the election and swearing in (if he wins).
Or
Jonathan can argue that he enjoys constitutional immunity from civil and criminal litigation as President(However, this won't hold water as it is purely a constitutional matter and not a civil case)

I don't blame them (APC), I blamed the mistake we have as speaker of the house of representatives. He is the saboteur that is stabbing PDP in the back by organizing those tout to institute an unsubstantiated claims and watery case against GEJ.

ON A SECOND THOUGHT,
APC may be suffering from GEJPHOBIA, JONAPHOBIA - the fear of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Please, I want to know if Former President, General Obasanjo contested 1999 Presidential Election without Running Mate, or did he picked Alhaji Atiku after he won the presidential Election and did Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar won the PDP Primary in Adamawa or Adamawa Gubernatorial Election and is it before the presidential election.please I need answers before I will say more about the issue.

Jonathan's meekness? I laugh. During the regime of Babangida, a military dictator, people challenged him. The temperament of Jonathan is not a deciding factor as to whether he is sued.
