It is you that is showing signs of bias.

Looking at Osun state election. That election was heavily militarised by the GEJ administration. Infact DSS agents wearing masks took over significant parts of the state, and Rauf Aregbesola still emerged winner. There may be pockets of violence here and there, but generally, Rauf Aregbesola won Omisore squarely. Omisore is only popular in the local govts where he hails from.

Now going to Ogun
No election can be 100% perfect in Nigeria. What tribunal looks at is substantive manipulation of the process. If the alledger is able to prove beyond reasonable doubt in court that there is substantive manipulation of the election, then the election will be nullified. You are only deceiving yourself if you claim there is substantive manipulation of election in Ogun state in the last election. Ajimobi was still more popular than the PDP candidates. And dont forget that there was internal crisis in the PDP before the election.

The manipulations that occurred in Akwa Ibom and Rivers states was audible to the deaf and visible to the blind. It is only those who are deceiving themselves that do not acknowledge this fact. I for one know that PDP will still win Akwa Ibom state. But that does not mean we should be supporting the sustenance of such level of brigandage that was displayed during the last election.

I bet you didnt read the submission of the court of appeal. The court stated that there was no collation of results and the court further stated that where there is no evidence of collation of results, there cannot be said to be election in such a place!

This is a disastrous decision.
Bye-bye to electoral malpractice....
Kudos to the judiciary for joining the fight against electoral malpractice. We definitely need more of you in fighting corruption.
Come 2019, politicians will be scared of rigging knowing fully well that the judiciary is ready available to kick them out.

menxer:
From your comment, you have no business on this thread.

Can you reconcile the bolded?

You can't be an armchair, Nairaland commentator and expect the future that is decided by politicians to be your dream come true.

If you don't take part in the political process, then let those that do, do the talking.

Henovy:
Sorry, not so my brother. The real PDP people moved with Amaechi to join APC before the elections. What is left as PDP is remnant. So it is not a matter of oil money. Rivers is not for PDP if not for the abracadabra of Mama Peace and her cohorts!

Tell me one good reason why osun state workers will vote for a man owning them almost 2month salary,tell me one good reason why a civil servant will vote for a man who pay their salary which due on the 30th of every month on the 18th of the following month,tell me why a salary earner will vote a man who abolish freedom of speech among his populace(all civil servant dare to talk anyhow against his governance will be sacked),tell me one good reason why a common man will vote for a man who use almost 3yrs to construct a community road,tell me why a common man will vote a man who cant provide a quality teachers for their wards in school(he depend heavily on corpers),tell me why a common man will vote a man who try to islamize osun state,tell me why a common man will vote for a man who use larger resources of the state to campaign during his election...

My brother,dont judge basically on what u hear on air,try ur visibility study.... Anyone from osun state should proof me wrong if any of my point are lies.

Am not disputting the nullification of akwa ibom election,bt the question is are all Apc governors saint,why is anyone yet to put to book among them since PMB assumed office

agabusta:
Expected! Those PDP riggers rigged with stupidity in that last election in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and partially in Delta.

The elections in Akwa Ibom and Rivers was a total sham. We should stop deceiving ourselves. I still dont understand why it was necessary for them to rig, when they were poised to win the election.

Let another election be conducted and let the PDP win maturely.

BADNEAT:
A panel of Nigeria’s Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom State. In delivering its final ruling on the conduct of the governorship election in Akwa Ibom, the five-member panel upheld the petition of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), agreeing that the election of Governor Emmanuel Udom of the People’s Democratic Party did not conform to the electoral act.

The court, therefore annulled the election, first re-asserting the importance of card readers and afirming that the election was marred by over-voting. The court denied all releiefs sought by the candidate of the PDP and granted the reliefs sought by the governorship candidate of the APC, Umana Okon Umana, asking for the cancellation of the election. The Court ordered a rerun of the election across the state within 90 days.

Mr. Udom is expected to appeal today’s verdict to the Supreme Court for a final decision.

ITbomb:
It didn't sack, the Appeal Court just nullify the election, Udom is still governor till the Supreme Court says otherwise

Femiwilli:
APC just dey sack Governors wey no back them.

Dem no dey sack any from the North oh!

Mcowubaba:
Use which Tribunal or court ?...the ones APC is remote-controlling....APC is a pure hypocritical scamming party...
PDP-led government was even more liberal in some partsian issues..
APC-led Government is obviously baised nd partsian in ALL their activities....only PDP governors are being sacked, pdp senators, pdp house members, nd only PDP members are being probed..
wow!!!..so much for Democracy..
1 day, PDP or anoda party will still take over aso-rock, don't lament when the persecute only APC members...becuz it wil definately happen..

I'm not even a PDP supporter or member, I am just an advocate for justice, transperency, equity nd good governance....pdp was very corrupt nd bad, but certainly apc is worse...spits!! Change my arse .....

Thank You Lord For This Day. Thank God We Can Finally Count On The Judiciary As The Last Hope Of The Common Man. Akpabio Turned Himself Into A Demigod, Did Everything To Ensure He Has Absolute Control Over Akwa Ibom, Stepped On All Toes, Used Zoning To Muscle Out Every Other Contender For His Stooge. He Made Sure The Akpabio Dynasty Reigned In The State, State Decisions Were Taken At His Ukana Home Town, Rigged With Utter Impunity. But God Disposes. Make No Mistake Am An Akwa Ibomite And A Die-hard PDP, But What Happened In Akwa Ibom Can Not Even Be Call A "Sham", It's Something More Derogatory. Thank You Nigerians - Those Of Goodwill.
