The supreme Court as the final arbiter, has brought to an end, a legal tussle between Nyesom Wike and Peterside Dakuku on the validity or otherwise of the election conducted in April in Rivers State by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

While I am saddened by the judgment that emanated from the Supreme Court, in which, in their "well considered" opinion, set aside the decision of the Election Tribunal and that of Appeal court on the subject matter, but affirmed The election that brought Nyesom Wike into power, as a legitimate and proper one. Though this seems in variance with public outcry both within and outside the country that followed the election, that had been described by many, as the most murderous, Violence- filled, and rigged election ever conducted anywhere in the Country. I am more worried for the fate of the opposition in the elections that are going to be held from now on.

Should The Opposition Be Worried?
I don't think many people especially of the PDP, have not realized the implication of the said judgment in the "life" of free and fair election in the Country, from now on.
It would be recalled that INEC, worried by the cases of incessant ballot snatching, tampering of voters register, snatching of result sheets and other electoral vices, genuinely came up with a masterstroke...a technology called Card Reader Machines, which sole aim was, to instill fear in the would be election riggers and also to render their "efforts" meaningless to an extent.

Consequently, to the Crédit of The Card Readers, a certain President Buhari Of the then opposition party (APC) Won an election, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo(PDP) Won election in APC filled State, Rochas Okorocha Won an election in a PDP Filled State Of Imo etc.

The implication of the Judgment:
Recall, the major ground of Nyesom Wike's Appeal, was on the non admissibility of the Card reader as a part of the election guidelines as enshrined in the Electoral Act and the 1999 constitution as amended, which the Supreme court in their opinion agreed with Wike and discarded the Use Card Readers as a part of election process.

Now what has the Apex Court done? It has returned INEC to the era of Manual accreditation and validation of voters card. It has returned everybody to the era of the "highest rigger takes all". It has energized ballot snatches. In fact it has removed every normalcy in the conduct of subsequent elections.. Yes that is what the Supreme Court has done..

So when next you hear of a political Party boasting of winning all the contested seats, it is not a fluke, it is achievable. And if you are contemplating of going to court, anyway I wish you "Supreme Court" luck..

This has been my worry! The supreme court is about to destroy all the efforts of former inec boss in checkmating rigging and ballot snatching. After the horrid display we saw in rivers election, validating it will only harden the hearts of die-hard riggers to return to the era of ballot snatching and stuffing.

This is a supreme mistake but not totally the fault of the supreme court. The court is a court of law, and not a court of justice. Meaning that it takes decisions only backed by law and constitution. It only upheld what the constitution said and not what we believe is right or wrong.


The way forward...

What's is wrong with Nigerians sef. A man won at the courts and you are using it to promote violence...

Why is APC and all they think is violence when they want to have their way...

Like someone said, nobody has monopoly of violence. Bring it on....

This can obly be corrected by the nass. Let the national assembly ammend the electoral act to include a consistent and mandatory use of the card reader. This way, cases coming to the courts will have a legal and constitutional backing. Else, we are back to the horrible days of electoral violence and where the most violent taketh it by force.

So all of a sudden,you realize there are going to be implications/consequences because a court verdict favored a legitimately elected governor wike,the slayer of APC..

What were you expecting after rigging your way to power with same card reader!

Is it not funny how a supporter of the ruling party is wailing for opposition when it's supposed to be the other way round?

Mr man By the way,where is your source because we all know you are only able to talk and spit venom(in your small mind) whenever Biafra/nnamdi kanu is mentioned!

This writer above me seems not to understand the points of the OP.please read the post without a politically and tribalism frame mindset.THIS POST IS ONE OF THE BEST POST I HAVE EVER READ ON NL.

But sincerely speaking, I am starting to get concerned about Omenka's well being

vayne:
Both can wail till Jesus comes,the card readers are here to stay..Pdp is here to stay..Akwa ibom loading..

This is why they were trying to implicate tompolo,so they can reduce his influence in niger delta/SS,knowing fully well that he is loyal to Pdp.

NgeneUkwenu:
But at least you agreed, the Use of Card readers are now in the past! The field is wide opened now!

BeauHomme:
Ngene, pls why are you doing this?

Anyone who followed the Agbaje(PDP) vs Ambode(APC) case would have known that APC's insistence on card reader in the Rivers election case had suffered a big blow through APC's victory at the Lagos tribunal. Wike's(Rivers,PDP) prayer as regards card reader was the same as Ambode's(Lagos,APC). If supreme court did not reverse the Appeal court ruling in favour of Ambode, why would you expect them to contradict their stance with the Rivers case? They can only follow precedence.

Lagos' Agbaje vs Ambode case, which Ambode(APC) won, was the case that killed the justification for card reader(and not the Wike vs Peterside case as you intend to establish). In Wike vs Peterside, supreme court wouldn't have contradicted their earlier stance on a related matter.

Mrs Ngene, you know all these, don't you? Speak it as it is, madam. You have your political views which I respect, but by adulterating facts just to push such views down our throats, I think you're going too far Ma.

Nellybii:
I have people in Rivers and before Wikes election they said Dakuku will win but it will be rigged in favour of Wike.So it happened. Here am surprised you talk as if APC or Dakuku are zero in Rivers. So how did APC win all LG chairman seat before Wike? Educate me.

zicoraads:
Best post you say? Surely, you meant it as an irony

Supreme Court in their wisdom knew the real sponsors of the violence prior, during and after the election. The person has this antecedent of sponsoring violence.

Babacele:
