One might not agree with the judgement of the supreme court which is quite understandable but when
I read a lot of comments about valid votes more than accredited votes and I then wonder if we really think at all. Most of us just ignorantly follow the bandwagon or we already know but simply chose to sound foolish.
Alright INEC simply didn't did not take into cognisance both the accredited votes and valid votes of those 388 polling units. With those units results now added by the supreme court both the accredited votes and valid vote will automatically increase. What is difficult there to understand?
The fact that persons I thought were intelligent say these crap of valid votes more than accredited votes baffles me.
Na wa oooo

Bolognese:
According to you the elections in the 388 units were marred by irregularities and INEC cancelled them. IF INEC CANCELLED THESE UNITS, THE RESULTS FROM THESE UNITS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAPTURED UNDER CANCELLED VOTES!!!. This is different from what INEC is saying, INEC claims elections didn’t hold in the 388 Units, so there are No results from those Units!

If you’ve been involved in elections you should know there’s something called an incidence form. If elections were disrupted in these units, there would have been an incidence form to prove this.

Based on the norm, the next day, INEC would have conducted fresh elections in these units like it was done in Osun and Rivers States, but No, INEC in its wisdom went ahead to collate and announce a winner without results from 388 Units, which is about 12% of the entire state, and without any justification? INEC should be held responsible for everything wrong in IMO!

Most of you commenting here have no first hand knowledge of elections in Nigeria, all I see is ignorance displayed in full confidence.

I like the fact that you admitted that the solution from beginning ought to have being a rerun. So why then didnt the supreme court order for a rerun in those areas instead of admitting and collating the figures thereby making total number of votes in an election higher than the total number of accredited voters?

tomdon:



Those votes were cancelled.
Supreme Court now run election while the budget goes to inec
A re run is the sensible thing any judge or panel should've recommended. They are compromised and the ruling will be upturned inshallah

FYI those votes where never cancelled. INEC acted like the election in those polling units never happened. That might be true. But HOPE came with results INEC never had

Because HOPE was able to prove that elections took place in those polling units. We should stop blaming the supreme court. The blame lies squarely on INEC. Their level of incompetence in IMO election was next to none. Even declaring Ihedioha winner in the first place was without meeting the 25% in 2/3 local government areas was evident

If you read and understood what I wrote you won’t be asking this.

Let me help you, the results for the Imo Election as declared by INEC was from about 3000 polling units, without votes from 388 Units, meaning No result sheets from all the 388 Units Hope claimed he won were included in the collation process. According to him, they were EXCLUDED during collation at the ward collation centres. If INEC had accepted the results first, before cancelling it, the results from these 388 units would have appeared under cancelled votes. But this was not the case. INEC didn’t accept it!

For all the 388 Units, Accredited Votes = 0; Total Votes Cast = 0. In the last election, Accreditation and Voting took place same time.

For example, let’s assume you wrote WAEC and you’re expected to write 9 papers. The results are out and WAEC claims you wrote only 5 papers, went ahead to produce a certificate for you saying you sat for only 5 papers. In the same certificate you passed 3 and failed 2. They claim the other 4 you cheated or were absent and yet WAEC couldn’t prove this. You took your school and WAEC to court, showed evidence that the remaining 4 papers, you indeed sat for them, but no reason was given by WAEC for the omission. If the 4 papers are marked and you passed 3, and failed 1, will the total number of papers you passed and failed remain static?

This is similar to the case of accredited and total votes in Imo!

Read the judgment. It is sound in law and logic. Very sound. Ihedioha‘a Lawyers are not infallible. They alleged Uzodinma results were forged and didn’t prove it. INEC said it had the genuine results results but never presented them in Court. Issues were joined on the exclusion of Uzodinma results and shown by the production of Forms EC8A and B. Issues were not joined on whether elections held at the places from where the excluded results emanated therefore there was no need to call all the polling agents as the Supreme Court had laid down previously. It was sufficient for the policeman who did to tender the results in the light of the dissenting judgment of the lower court. Good job.

i said this before.
The Documents tendered were original duplicate copies of INEC issued Forms, filled and signed by INEC official representative at the Polling Units concern. The Coalition Officers looking at the figures strongly believed the figures were cooked and allocated, then, using personally intuition and judgment, cancel the results of APC from 388 polling units.
Hope went to court to challenge that the cancellation has no legal backing, instead of PDP to counter the application and show evidence that the votes allocated to APC were fraudulent, they did not even challenge the petition at all. The Supreme Court holds that the fraudulent
votes were illegally cancelled and there was no single evidence to show it was fraudulently allocated.
Personally, I believed the votes were fraudulent and on moral grounds should be cancelled as done by the INEC coalition center. Unfortunately, the court will and never rule base on morality but on the letters of the Law. So, morally, the cancellation was correct but wrong legally.
To those people blaming Supreme Court, they should know that legality is different from morality. It is just like a rape cases, it must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was actually committed and the responsibility to proved rest on every party except the accused. In this case, the provision of evidence rest solely on PDP and her candidates and not INEC. The role of INEC in any election matters is to provide evidences at their care and testify in election matter and not to prove that the elections was fairly or fraudulently conducted.
PDP failed woefully in their defence, they should learn their lesson and move on.

This is the reason why they removed Onnoghen b cause no sound Justice that knows his onus will be involved in this mess and ridicle of the bench.[/s]

Rubbish. The man was enthroned to mess Apc up in Rivers and zamfara abi? Was it not the same man who gave ridiculous sanctions that allowed pdp to run opposed in 2 states? Fools in the pdp were happy with what a sane person will consider as the worst form of judgment in a democratic dispensation. He was good then, but now he's a Sharia judge.
Pls buy some common sense plus brain or STFU.

As usual, low IQ persons, was it not APC on their own wasn't matured enough to handle their internal issues and took themselves to court in Zamfara and Rivers State?

How is it our business that those men are childish and stupid enough to wash their dirty linens in the Public?

A party that cannot even handle their internal issues, little wonder the entire nation is in chaos today.

Please always reason properly before you make comments on a public forum as this.

Exactly, the Ihedioha’s legal team and the PDP legal team focused on the appeal by Uche Nwosu and AA, and paid little attention to the appeal by Hope Uzodinma and APC, maybe because he was placed 4th, what can a man placed 4th do, they thought!.

They even sponsored Ikenga Ugochinyere, CUPP and co to challenge Uche Nwosu’s nomination with the hope that once Uche Nwosu’s candidacy was declared null and void, there’ll be no need to get the required 25% in 18LGAs.

Listen to the rubbish from the NO IQ IPOB miscreant. Does it make any sense to you that the people of these states were denied the option of electing their own leaders instead of the court to impose pdp leaders on them? Have you ever heard anywhere in the world where people are not allowed to elect from which party they want? Especially in a democratic system that is not like China where you only have thr communist party.
The worst they should have done was to either select one of thr contestants from APC to stand in the election or ask Apc to conduct any primary. But delusional retarded brainwashed warped No IQ ipob miscreants like you are incapable of rational thinking.

Chaiiiii!!!!! All these educated illiterates we have in this country, chaiii!!! See what quota system is causing. Now let me teach you a little kid.

The court only cancelled the primaries as prayed by members of APC who felt they were cheated, and who felt due process was not followed in the APC primaries.

Empty brain, I ask you, are there no other political parties aside APC in this country? You see how you have just exposed your foolishness.

The courts only granted prayers by aggrieved APC members because they did not put their house in order. It is purely and entirely an APC issue.

Other political parties aside APC contested and the people made their choice.

Please tell your parents to ask for refund from your education.

No IQ Empty skull fourth grade education miscreant. Anyone with an ounce of brain knows that the election is between APC and pdp. It's like cancelling a Republican party candidate in an election and then say there are other parties like libertarian party when everyone knows that the election is between 2 real parties.
Common sense should have dictated the need for another primary or selecting one of the APC candidates instead of giving free ride to one party.
Without a doubt if this ruling had been against pdp candidates, retarded brainwashed no IQ ipob monkey ls like you would have gone in higher level of crying and wailing.

lahizak:
Some crazy elections and court results has come and go and none generate much tension like dis Imo results because all dos judgements are numerically possible even the zamfara state case where all APC were sacked for PDP make sense because it was proved APC didnt conduct primaries which is a valid reason. However, this Imo decision does not make sense numerically, how den do u expect people to accept it. The sad part is dat the supreme court are setting a precedent in which oda future cases will follow. This results need to be rejected completely otherwise this is d beginning of an era where numbers dont even need to add up. I know APC think this is dere time but no power is stagnant, other parties will come and go but precedents stays. All this results need to be rejected by all, or very soon INEC officials will be held at gun point and be forced to write stupid numbers. Since numbers will no longer matters nor does it need to align.
And if the supreme court even tink uzodimma av a valid case, i blive supreme court after tallying up d total and seeing d results pass accredited voters, dey should av declare a rerun election rather dan dere judgement

when you talk about the accredited voters, do you also consider those accredited in the 388 polling units that was challenged at the court? Or was it on record that the accredited voters as initially released by inec also include those of the cancelled 388 PU?

Where is the original result, that is the key issue. PDP is supposed to have a copy, inec is supposed to have a copy, why can't they just provide it

this is Nigeria bro, the judgment was pre-planned and that's why inec failed to bring the original and even if inec does not bring it's original copy.. it doesn't give the herder cjn and co the right to use police copy which is not empowered by the constitution. . In the midst of confusion they could have ordered for election re-run...

There is a clear reasonable doubt and inconclusive evidence here, all they could have done is nullify the election and conduct a fresh one with genuine electoral officials and observers.

Stop twisting facts ...Uzodinam won yet no APC in any house of assembly .Who voted for him
INEC is part of the script to ethrone Uzodinam.....Simple

smirn:

There were no elections or booking units in those places .. they were manufactured.....Simple ..
Did hope tender evidence of them being accredited
What Uzodinam did was what Akpabio did .. Manufactured figures

I wonder why people take INEC serious ...Is it Not same INEC taht said they have no servers?
They have been copted into the script ...Once supreme court gave those fraudulent figures then inec have to toe the line .....Simple

This is my opinion;

Inec not Supreme court gave Hope the victory.

Let's assume that the elections in the 388 polling units were marred by irregularities and also If the number of registered voters in the said units is sufficient enough to make someone in the 4th position becomes winner, then Inec was suppose to declare the election inconclusive. Meaning no winner was supposed to have been announced initially.

For declaring former Gov. winner, it means Inec concluded to disenfranchised the voters in the 388 polling units. When you look closely, those units might be Hope's stronghold.

Had it been the election was declared inconclusive considering the number of registered voters in the said units, then the worst former Gov. Would have done is to go to court to declare him winner while Hope will be ready for the conduct of election in the units.

Supreme court did the right thing by not ordering for rerun after Inec had illegally declared former Gov the winner.

And I guess PDP is also part of the script that is why they couldn't present any tangible evidence to counter Hope uzodimma. If not that you have sold your brain to PDP, you should have asked that since there was election in those unit, why is PDP not even talking about their vote from those areas? Because if there was no election, PDP wouldn't have tell ozodima that he was supposed to call agent from each unit, more so PDP wouldn't have been quiet over cancelation of the the result if that was the case
