urs is still pending.

Buhari man, when there are no separation of powers, this happens!

The road to injustice he meant

Fasindo:











I can bet with my two balls that Buhari didn't write that congratulatory message
He does not have the intellectual nd metal capability to construct such an intelligent message.
Maybe Osibanjo wrote it for him.
So let's giv the credit to Osibanjo not Buhari.


But one thing I'm very sure of is that Buhari together with Abba Kyari nd Oshiomhole told Tanko to declare Uzodimma that came 4th d Winner.

If Tanko is FIFA president he will handover World Cup to a country that did not participate in World cup nd say they are the winner
Or even giv Ballon d'Or to Anthony Joshua who is not a footballer.

The day I became afraid of Buhari was the time he appointed dead people into his government in 2017.

With Buhari everything is possible
After God, fear devil then Buhari

You take augh scattered my belly ...God of Nazareth..na so the man offended you reached..

Justice prevailed

See them. .pretending as if we don't knw the underground runs they did earlier. .

Ok are you saying he just congratulated publicly because he had done the congrats last year privately .

Nice one from the General! But see who's talking about inclusive government...presiding over the most nepotistic regime Nigeria ever had!

Well, apc now has a state in the south east.

At least, they can't say an igbo should not run under apc in 2023.

History will never forget how you destroy this country using judiciary and legislator.

One day those supporting this brazen and inhumane Justice against people will live to regret it.

He is destroying Nigeria through judiciary by exposing looters and sending them to jail, like kalu, some others that share your dividends among themselves right... was there any awareness of budget padding during Obasanjo, GEJ, tenure? You hate and support blindly, that's why Nigeria isn't moving forward.. dasuki that used funds meant for ammunition to sponsored election campaigns? The likes of ffk that runs their mouth on Twitter had a share from it . Yet he is destroying Nigeria.

In congratulating the new governor, President Buhari urged Mr Uzodinma to promote the ideals of the APC and unite the state by running an inclusive administration.

As I'd he is running an inclusive administration if not the goverment of the North, by the north and for the north.
Idiot. Hypocrite, dullard.

The lifeless man that keeps causing trouble to the living 'latinos

Power is transient, stop saying trash

But that's not buhari's hand na..

Uzodimma may not finish his tenure.

People should not celebrate when evil men are flourishing. Even Buhari is not free.


You cannot continue to undermine the will of the people and expect to live a happy fulfilled life, go and check facts of all the leaders that did same and learn from history.

Imo people do not want ritualists, known fraudsters and reformed Yahoo boys to have grip of Imo state again after Rochas.

Hope Uzodimma and Rochas are the same people who suddenly became rich one day without trace.

Hope Uzodimma is a known Yahoo man in the 80s that worked with Ezego of Ihiala and all the known Yahoo ritualists of the 80s, and that is who Mbaka said God told him will lead Imo state to light


That is who Buhari that claims he is Mr anti corruption is cheering and helped to snatch a mandate he never won.


Who voted APC in Imo state that APC was widely hated and avoided like Ebola


If the judges were acting purely on legal terms, what they were supposed to do is order for an election rerun in the alleged affected polling units instead of declaring someone that came 4th winner of an election they claimed some polling unit results were not declared.

Or order INEC to produce the results of the so-called polling units and declare the result for all to see what other parties scored.

Any Nigerian celebrating this brazen robbery by Buhari/APC/Tinubu will be rewarded accordingly when he or she need justice the most in his or her life

When PDP wins at the tribunal, we don't hear you give credit to Buhari.

But when APC wins, you all remember that Buhari toppled a democratic government.

Tell me, was the 2003 elections free and fair? And yet, Atiku sat through it as Vice President. Yet, some people were/are of the opinion that the man should be president.

All those rigging down the line perpetrated by PDP is tantamount to disrespecting people's votes, isn't it?

If you have forgotten, by 2010, people were already so disillusioned that their votes don't count, all thanks to the master riggers, PDP, which included Atiku Abubakar who has become a saint to some Nigerians.

THE IMO GUBERNATORIAL JUDGMENT - A PAINFUL BUT LEGALLY CORRECT VERDICT!

It is indeed a perplexing paradox: Hope Uzodinma may not have won the 2019 Imo State gubernatorial election, yet the Supreme Court, on the facts, was right in declaring him the winner of that election in law. The error was not the Supreme Court's, but that of Governor Emeka Ihedioha's legal team; and it was a crucially fatal error.

What happened was this: During the governorship election in Imo State, apparently concocted results, perhaps not having any basis whatsoever in reality, BUT SIGNED BY INEC PRESIDING OFFICERS, were turned in from more than 350 polling units, giving Hope Uzodinma of the APC an incredibly unassailable lead. When those results were transmitted to the wards collation centres, the collation officers, who had no power in law to cancel or reject them, rejected the said polling units results, and refused to collate them, thereby effectively excluding them from the total tally of the governorship result that was eventually declared by the Returning Officer. In the aftermath of the said exclusion, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Governor Ihedioha the winner of the election.

The exclusion of the results of those polling units was the fulcrum of the petition presented at the Tribunal by Hope Uzodinma. Ever since David Mark V. ABUBAKAR USMAN, and DOMA V. INEC, the law has been settled that neither collation officers nor a returning officer, has the power in law to exclude a polling unit result duly signed by the presiding officer at the polling unit; only the election tribunal possesses the power to cancel or exclude such a result. So, at the point of its presentation, Senator Uzodinma's petition was potentially viable, in spite of the apparent dubiousness of the polling units results on which it was anchored, there being a REBUTTABLE presumption of regularity and correctness, by virtue of both the Electoral Act and Evidence Act, enuring in favour of any result declared by a presiding officer.

The backbreaking and fatal error made by Ihedioha's legal team was not filing a CROSS PETITION fiercely challenging the integrity of the suspect polling units results upon which Uzodinma was relying, and praying the election tribunal to formally nullify the said results. Without a cross petition, none of the grounds under section 138 (1) of the Electoral Act for questioning the elections conducted in those polling units in which Uzodinma "won" could have been competently raised by Governor Ihedioha in his defence to Uzodinma's petition. This was the ratio decidendi of the old Court of Appeal decision in IDRIS V. A.N.P.P.(2008)8 NWLR(PT.1088) Page 1. In the recent Court of Appeal decision in ATIKU ABUBAKAR V. BUHARI, the Court of Appeal again invoked the principle in dismissing Buhari's contention that Atiku ABUBAKAR was born in Cameroun to parents who originally were Camerounians, and thus disqualified from contesting the election. Dismissing the contention, the Court of Appeal held that the issue was incompetent, since Buhari did not file a cross petition.

Ihedioha indeed did set up facts in his Reply to the petition rehashing the serial infractions that led to the exclusion of the results of the said 300 plus polling units. But that was legally not enough, in the absence of a cross petition. Besides, such renditions by a Respondent in a mere Reply or Statement of Defence are clearly incompetent. The reason for the incompetence was was made clear by the Court of Appeal in NATIONAL JUDICIAL COUNCIL & ORS V. HON. JUSTICE JUBRIL BABAJIDE ALADEJANA & ORS(2014) LPELR - 2413 (CA) Page 31, paras C - F, at ratio 3 thus -

"The law is that it is a plaintiff who by his statement of claim primarily nominates issues to be tried in a suit and which he relies on to have the judgment of the Court. For a defendant, it is only necessary to resist the plaintiff's claim on the facts pleaded. It is not for a defendant to set up facts which would convey that it is not just setting up a defence but setting up a new case of his own. He can only do so by way of a counter claim..."

Shorn of the legalese, what the above authority is simply saying is that since the issue nominated for trial by Hope Uzodinma was the unlawfulfulness or otherwise of the exclusion of the results of the 300 plus polling units by the ward collation officers, Ihedioha's defence was therefore necessarily restricted by law to showing that those who excluded the results had the power in law to exclude them. Without a cross petition praying for the nullification of those results, the law forbids Governor Ihedioha as respondent from raising the issue of the alleged serial corrupt practices and irregularities marring the said results, in a mere statement of defence; that was a new issue not nominated by Uzodinma as petitioner. Ihedioha, being a Respondent, could only have competently raised them via a cross petition, being a new issue not nominated by Uzodinma, the petitioner.

Tragically, Ihedioha's legal team forgot to include the pivotal cross petition. And in the absence of a cross petition, the Supreme Court was right in law, painfully though it may seem, to rely on the presumption of regularity and correctness enshrined by both the Electoral Act and Evidence Act in favour of the said results, and to reckon with them and add them up to the final result, since Ihedioha's legal team had woefully failed to effectively attack the results and rebut that presumption. For the Supreme Court, this was the legally correct conclusion to come to, having found that INEC had no power in law to exclude polling units results duly affirmed by the various polling units presiding officers.

Please dnt refer 2 ur president dat way. he is going tru alot and making sacrifices 4 us...THANK U!

APC can only try this in the south east and got away with it. this cancer worn judgment can't happen in the south south. politic is do or die affair in Nigeria system of democracy.

there is no way APC could win in IMO state because Okorcha failed in the state. millions of Imolite rejected the APC. but With buhari every thing is possible. what is happening now is reflection of what what would happen in 2023 if PA buhari become APC chairman he will inter in the election
