steps to win an election in Nigeria :
step 1: kidnap the electoral officer and his family.
step 2: forge any results.
step 3: tell him to declare you winner.

I know INEC is exercising the power it does not have. Rochas is already a senator.
did he win the election

He indirectly did.new information i got showed the returning officer wanted to declare the polls inconclusive as rochas was leading with a margin of 29000 and cancelled votes was about 40 000.let inec either give okorocha a certificate or declare the polls inconclusive and do supplementaries

OK but I don't think he won any ways I think a supplementary election will do

What do you mean by he didnt win? If there was nothing like inconclusive polls,is it not the person leading that will be declared? I have several instances of elections that were supposed to be inconclusive but inec declared a winner so i dont entirely blame okorocha.inec has fumbled by not acting fast after refusing to give rochas his certificate.the courts will now favorite him

Why didnt they act quickly after withholding the certificate?why hold the certificate indefinitely and arbitrarily? That is what the law ftowns at

Sin-ator really he will soon meet his Waterloo at the court.

Just tell okoroawusa to approach the court on this issue
He's in court.

But evidence obtained from inec server is admissible? Who even talked about presenting evidence obtained under duress in court? Seems you are dreaming.please read section 75 of the electoral act and get back to me
You are still a kid in legal procedures if you think Section 75 can give Rochas his certificate.

Section 75 will only be applicable if the petitioner (Rochas) proves beyond reasonable doubt that INEC doesn't have sufficient reasons to withdraw the certificate.

It is not as if you would just run to court and cite Section 75 and the court will just invoke it. You have to give the court sufficient reasons to invoke it.

The Returning Officer claimed he was forced to declare the result at gun point. The onus is on Rochas to prove otherwise or else, he is going to prison.

The mumu has already gone to court. So INEC now has the power to withhold the certificate as long as they want.

If he loses, he just set himself up for imprisonment.

On what ground will the court do that? Oga, if you don't understand Nigerian laws better get an attorney to guide you and stop disgracing yourself.

You dey mind that one.

The Army commanding officer that was called to come and rescue the returning officer had to retreat because Okoroawusa and his police thugs are ready to kill any body on sight.

This prompted the Army commanding officer to advise the returning officer to announce the result it out clause in self defence later.
Thanks. You are on ground.

Senatordave1, nothing will stop you and Rochas from going to prison.

Section 68 (a,b & c) of the Electoral Act ( with its amendments) provides that “ the decision of the Returning Officer on any question arising from or relating to-(a) unmarked ballot paper; (b) rejected ballot paper; and (c) declaration of scores of candidates and the return of a candidate shall be final subject to review by a tribunal or court in an election petition proceedings under this Act”

Section 75(2) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (with its amendments) states that “where the Commission refuses and, or neglects to issue a certificate of return, a certified true copy of the order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall, ipso facto, be sufficient for the purpose of swearing in a candidate declared as the winner by that court....

Okorocha is on a long journey, by the time federal high court will declare him winner or ask inec to award him a certificate, inec will head to apeal court for more clarification and I see this matter heading to Supreme Court,.
