Can you kindly explain to us.... Seems you're seeing something we ain't seeing

Amitez:
If this stands, then Buhari is a goner too!

sonnie10:
Can’t someone drop out of school and then go back to take external WEAC which is equivalent to finishing secondary school?

ipobarethieves:
arrest the Phat dancing Hippo asap

raumdeuter:
Is that true? What happens to Omehia vs Amaechi?

Blue3k:
Na lawyers o.


It amazing how these court cases drag on. What's so difficult about this case? If he graduated he should present his diploma and transcripts. If he lost them somehow the school should have it on file. I dont know how these cases make it up multiple levels of court

kingreign:

It's obvious the Tyrant and the evil party (APC) are behind this. Anyways, the baseless judgement from the aboki won't stand. PDP is Osun, Osun is PDP.

nothing to see here. The second highest in PDP primaries would take over.

KarlWhyte:
Justice Oathman Musa of an Abuja High Court sitting in Bwari Area Council of Abuja on Tuesday Nullified the nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the September 2018 Governorship Election in Osun State.

Adeleke, who represents Osun West Senatorial District at the National Assembly was the PDP’s candidate in the 2018 governorship election in Osun state.

Two Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wahab Raheem and Adam Habeeb, had in 2018 barely few days to the governorship election in Osun State had dragged Adeleke to court, accusing him of not possessing the requisite educational qualification (secondary school certificate) to contest for the office of governor.

They prayed the court for an order to disqualify Adeleke from participating in the Sept 22 governorship election in the state on the grounds that he does not possess the requisite educational qualification.

Delivering judgment in the suit Tuesday, Justice Musa annulled Adeleke’s nomination on the grounds that Adeleke offended section 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended. The section stipulated that candidates for the position of governor must be educated up to secondary school level.

According to Justice Musa, while the court’s findings showed that Adeleke entered secondary school in 1976, there was no record to show that he actually graduated as his name was no longer seen in the school’s register from 1980.

Justice Musa further stated that the result Adeleke attached to his form CF001 which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was fake, as it was found to be different from the one presented to the court by the principal of Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Osun State.

Meanwhile, Adeleke’s lawyer Nathaniel Oke SAN has faulted the judgment of Justice Musa on the grounds that the judge erred in law by going out of hiy way to source for evidence to arrive at his “unjust conclusion”.

He submitted that the court erred particularly when it ignored WAEC evidence that Adeleke was educated up to Secondary School level as required by law.

SarkinYarki:
Why?

awuf2008:
So it is possible for any court in nigeria to fast track adelekes certificate forgery case but unable to do in Certificateless Pmb case. The judgement will not stand test of time, as it will nullified at appeal court.

DabuIIIT:
Whatever,this doesn't mean PDP didn't win,the vice should be the governor,if that being the case. If they did it in kogi,when audu Abubakar passed on and same Apc substituted him with Ahmed Fatah.
Mirror head, amaechi,was also a beneficiary,at the cost of omenkhian.
Adeleke will be substituted,worst case scenario.
So it's still victory for PDP.

ABSTRUSE:
S. 177 CFRN 1999 (As Amended) is to the effect that a governorship candidate must have been educated up to secondary school level. If it was the intention of the drafters of the CFRN to make an actual WAEC result the criteria they would have stated it. Lemme burst your brain here, did you even know that a person with a first school leaving certificate can even become the President of the country if he fulfils the provision of the CFRN? He is educated up to secondary school level so I dnt know what the judge's talking about.
Secondly, the court should have even dismissed the case on the ground of locus standi. The petitioners before the court dnt have sufficient interest in the case to warrant a judgment.

IvarTheBoneless:

His supporters' club are on their way from Nnewi to rant...
You guys don't know APC just wants him to waste his money.
Osun and Nigerian Elections ended long ago

he's not qualified

Afamed:
Is that the position of the law or you personal opinions?

masseratti:
I tìre ó. So we that we skipped ss3 nd got admission from ss2 cannot become Governor again? Just because our names were not in the ss 3 register? The judge need to be disqualified from being a judge he is clever by half.

Lunatics like you shouldn't have a place on Nairaland.... enemy of Nigeria.

Amitez:

fairfora:
victory isn't for him alone but also for the party under which he's contesting. If he's found guilty, his running mate would be declared winner and governor elect and issued a certificate of return.
