PDP happy that Supreme court upheld the election and didn't give heed to Card readers. But they have forgotten that APC is in power... We are back to the good old days of massive rigging and ballot box wahala. If APC were WISE, they will consult OBJ to show them the way of Rigging!!

GANJAFARMER:
The problem with folks like you is that you're myopic in your reasoning .
If you want the card reader badly as a basis to ensuring that elections are free and fair then add it to the constituion and stop blaming the Supreme court for doing their job as it is written in our book( constitution)

imhotep:

^^ APC: Traumatized, deluded and mentally incapacitated, all at the same time

Too embarrassing dealing with kids on Nairaland. I won't give you the luxury of arguing with you. Go and frolic in the sand, boy. You don't speak in the council of elders.

You mean, because the constitution does not make provision for technology, we can not employ technology (in this 21century) as acceptable means of achieving desired results? Judgement cannot be made based on logically necessary consequence? We can only experience CHANGE, when we imbibe CHANGE. One desperate judge cannot tell me the constitution does not provide for technology to be used in monitoring govt revenue hence cannot be employed to checkmate corruption in the system if that's the way to go.

The supreme Court have set up back 10 years, by nullifying the function of biometric accreditation. The days if stuffing ballot boxes are back.

What is the point of a card reader if it can not be used to confirm the voters register.

I believe it is time for the APC led 8th senate who were very much in favour of the card reader to seek an amendment to the Constitution

sweetgala:


The statement of the supreme Court did not address the failure of the card reader, it completely dismissed it as a tool for accreditation.

What that means is in the future, a party to a legal suite can argue that the use of the card reader in an election contravened the Constitution and therefore the election is null and void,where the card reader has 100% efficiency and thereby negating reliance in the voters register.

The failure rate of the card readers was just too high.Dont forgrt these Judges were also in Nigeria and might have voted during the elections.There is no way we can rely solely on the card readers with the current rate of failure.Disenfranchisement of over 60% of eligible voters is same as rigging.

blackpanda:
This supreme court ruling is quite interesting. Am just waiting for 201c elections cos now that apc is in power and supreme court has destroyed card readers, its gonna be mass rigging galore!

Lol , can you rig in a state where your popularity is nothing to next ?

Amaechi started violence in Rivers State to rig the election and Wike showed him the real face of violence.

If you like be in power , there are states you just can't take and that is a fact.
PDP was so strong under Obasanjo yet they couldn't take Lagos.
Brood on it bro - You're a child .

[s][s]You have a serious problem with comprehension my friend and I wont spend time trying to educate a zombie .
You don't expect the supreme court to give judgement using a tool that is not constitutionally recognized even if it will save the earth .
Go read up something and stop showcasing your ignorance that seem to be on a colossal level[/s].[/s]

OrlandoOwoh:
Is this the reason that they've been saying they would give us for their decision? This "reason" is to watery and holds no water. I wonder what informed the decision(s) of making the Supreme Court the last bus stop on cases on governorship election petitions, as against the Appeal Court as it's in the past.

Koolking:


You wailed for nothing bro. Not worth my time. Cheers

Kessyy2k4:
bros which of the darlies did you get that from? try & get your fact before u comment! i dont think Joseph Daudu said that.

Agubushmenyo:


Wasn't even reffering to states. We are talking about Presidential. Who need states when Apc controls majority!

GANJAFARMER:
You don't even know what you're talking about ....smh

Typical zombie mentality - You need the states to look presidential enough .

The judicial system in Nigeria is wack, I don't see any reason why we should have a lower court nd higher court, both of them always giving different verdict, buhari if U want an institution to scrap I guess one of these should be on your top list.

MrMcJay:
When the APC was in the opposition and they didn't have federal power to help them rig, the INEC introduced card readers to stem the tide of rigging and APC used it to its advantage. Now that APC now has federal power, they ensured the card reader is removed as an obstacle to rigging.

Unfortunately, the opposition seems happy with this development, but it just shows how naive, ignorant and short-sighted all are. Now, the APC would use ALL its resources to 'win' elections and the PDP has absolutely nothing to stop it. No INEC, no Military, No Police, not even ordinary Traffic Warden.

At this rate, the only elections PDP can win are Kuje Prison Elections.
