APC asked anybody who wasnt satisfied with their answers and evidence to head to court. Now they are in court, they should be ready for any judgement whether it favours them or not. The same court has been helping them uphold victory in Osun state and elsewhere. They shouldnt insult the judicial system or accuse them of compromise if the outcome doesnt favour them this time around. Osinbajo is a worthy successor afterall he has been a good boost to Buhari's candidacy, he may have not made such inroad into SW without PYO. Maybe that rumour of Tinubu playing a fast one on the north is about to happen. APC is a party of change, they should accept whatever sudden change they may experience in the last few days to the election. Since they are progressives, anything thing from them is deemed presidential material even if it is Atiku, Amaechi or Tinubu. In all I wish them goodluck in their last minutes strategy and schemes. If the ruling doesnt suit them, the first thing GMB must do is to calm his supporters from slaying innocent civillians, they should direct their anger at the judge. We cannot cry foul about the carnage perpetrated by BH and follow the same route. If Buhari is guilty of the charges, he cannot expect the judiciary bend the law for him. He will be unfit to fight corruption. Mods do not hide my post, I only stated the obvious possibility



APC in their usuall Van Damme-style are quick to tell us Lgo to court". I say to APC there can't be any chaos becos APC must go back to court if this judgement does not favor them.Pls note Mr Lai Muhammed

Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples
Democratic Party Presidential Campaign
Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode said yesterday that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) spokesperson,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has told yet another lie
about speculated the disqualification of the
APC presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari from the March 28
election.
Fani-Kayode in a swift reaction to Mohammed
on the issue said, “Lai Mohammed has told yet
another dirty lie. What on earth is our business
with Buhari’s court case?
“We know that he does not have a certificate
and that he was not eligible to contest but we
have moved on from there and we are ready to
meet him in the field.
The truth is that the APC are suffering from all
manner of paranoia and they have lost touch
with reality.
“They are the proverbial conspiracy theorists
who are so consumed by their own morbid
fears that they sleep in their wardrobes and
under their beds every night.
Each time someone knocks at the gates of their
homes they wave their hands in the air, they
shiver and scream and they say ‘the President
has sent the security people to come and arrest
us’.
“Frankly they deserve to be pitied. They see
government conspiracies everywhere and they
have become prisoners of their own wild
hallucinations.
The truth is that we are not in the least bit
interested in General Buhari’s travails at the
court and we are not in a position to influence
the decision of the judge or the outcome of the
case one way or the other.
“The problem with the APC is that they cannot
appreciate the difference between the judiciary
and the executive. They are so primitive that
they cannot comprehend the concept of
‘’separation of powers’.
Simply because General Buhari himself
controlled the courts and threatened judges
when he was in power he thinks that the same
thing is happening 31 years later under the
administration of President Goodluck
Jonathan.
He does not appreciate the fact that times have
changed and that our courts and judges are
fiercely independent and deeply courageous.
“We wish General Buhari well in his case
tomorrow but frankly speaking it is the last
thing on our minds and we are not losing any
sleep over it.
Our prayer is that, whichever way, the rule of
law is upheld and that justice is done.
“We also hope that he is not disqualified so
that we have the opportunity to deal with him
once and for all and demystify him at the
polls.
It would be a cruel act to deprive us of the
opportunity of bursting his bubble once and
for all and to humiliate him at the polls.
“We must remember that it was the Director
General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, that
has interfered with the work of the judiciary in
his state and that has attempted to intimidate
the judges by shutting down the state High
Courts for the last one year.
“It is interesting to note that when the same
APC that is now calling into question the
integrity of the judiciary got an injunction
from the Lagos State High court to stop the
broadcast of the infamous ‘Lion of
Bourdillon’ documentary they did not
complain about government interference in the
judiciary at the time.
Neither did they complain when they got
another order from the Lagos State High Court
to stop the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces, President Goodluck Jonathan, from
deploying troops to help secure lives during
the election.
“When things go their way the courts are good
but when they suspect that they may not they
then make baseless and childish allegations
that have no basis in logic or reality.
Our advice to them is to grow up, get real and
prepare for the greatest humiliation of their
lives on March 28.”

sirscripture:
But you know the accusation seems baseless. This man contested 3times. Are they saying our judicial system failed those 3times to stop him? These failed corrupt politicians are just looking for ways to stop him before the poll but i can bet you, if he wins...Nigeria of tomorrow would be far sweeter than Nigeria of today and yesterday. He is also surrounded by corrupt friends too, one thing is sure dem go all hear if GMB wins. Dont you see the strend of campaign against him? Using religion/ethnicity to campaign against someone is an empty thing. He ruled us once, but no kobo was stolen while he was there. A disciplinarian is all we ask for, and GEJ isnt it. These people r too corrupt for this country to move forward. The likes of Agbakoba saw this coming, no wonder they did everything within their power to stop Jonathan from becoming the president...Anyways we will get whatever we deserve.

thunder74:
The judge may likely rule this way:
He will rule on jurisdiction first and the decision is that he has jurisdiction and GMB was validly served through substituted means as ordered by the court.

For the people seeking to join, the court will refused them and call them interlopers because there is nothing in the case they will suffer more than ordinary Nigeria. At worst, they should have sued him too on their own.

On the main issue, it is obvious where the scale will tilt. Buhari is not qualified to contest because he didn't comply with the electoral Act.
The case is incurably bad for Buhari and APC.

ikwubaba:
I like the way you went. But you goofed finally. So the case will not be tried with arguements and requirement of evidences? Mind you, the accuser will have to provide evidence that he did not qualify. The laws will not be scrutinised and interpretations sought? These may take days if not weeks. The judge will just disqualify him. Mind you even the other cases for determination will still take time.
Those judges are smatter than that. Even if payed, they will meander out using technicalities as excuses.

genieplus86:
It beats my imagination why my Ibo brothers are the ones fighting President Jonathans battle. Where are his south/south brothers. My worry is when problem starts in the North the Ibos would lose more lives and property than any tribe up North. I am afraid of the prospect of any ruling that would rob the beauty of Saturday election. Let the people decide. Whoever wins at the poll let the other candidate accept it. I desire a PEACEFUL Nigeria no matter the result of Saturday. Nigeria belongs to all of us. #votenotfight

OrlandoOwoh:
Even Muhammadu Buhari is not disturbed.

kellybently:
y are u afraid of contesting with GMB.

You are wrong.

A looser is not always a
looser.

He that falls several times must
surely rise one day provided he did not
give up.

No tension, No anxiety. Court cannot stop Buhari.
