Pdp is a useless agbero party

See, the way it goes in law and in court is this: you say a thing and provide evidence in support and it is taken as proved unless your opponent denies what you say and provides something to discredit your evidence. Neither INEC nor Ihedioha did so. The result in law is that Uzodinma has proved his case. In the law of evidence it is called the burden of proof.

Neoteny:
So I'm guessing you know more more law than seven seasoned justices of the supreme court, even as everyone with a brain agrees their judgment is sound?

CanadaOrBust:
So why does uproar surround only this judgement?
You obviously did not read the respondent attorney’s submission that the documents were not even properly signed and were smudgy and incomplete. A simple cursory EXAMINATION would have revealed all that.
Don’t you think that at least that should have been done before rushing ahead to replace a seating governor with the appellant based SOLEY on those same documents??!!

To be specific, Uzodinma produced Duplicate original of the results, 28 witnesses and the police witness corroborated. Uzodinma's case was considered proven by the court.

The onus was on Ihedioha, PDP and INEC to provide proof that the documents were fake. They failed to do that.

The fact was that the lawyers to the defendants knew that the appellant's documents were original. If they submit any document that will contradict those original copies, they could be setting themselves up for committing a crime of electoral fraud. So they simply didnot produce any document. The lower courts played to the tune of the defendants lawyers intrigues.

The problem of this country is that someone or some people have escaped with the crime of electoral fraud. Ihedioha is free, INEC is free, PDP is free when one or all of them colluded to commit electoral fraud. In saner climes, that will be the focus at this moment. We need to find out how, when and who removed those votes, prosecute the culprits and amend the electoral process accordingly to forestall future occurance. The judgement means an electoral fraud was committed but its not relevant since justice was delivered, the justice is not enough, it ought to be pursued to the end.

Next elections, another person will do same thing and test it in court. When the fraud is not our concern, it will keep happening till we focus on it.

adanny01:
Intrigues of lawyers, that was all it was. You cant condemn something that the court found original without presenting counter evidence.

Isnt this the reason Buhari still has a certificate when the outcry wants to say different.

The court is not about what lawyers say, its about facts and evidence.

CanadaOrBust:
You can’t find something original without EXAMINING it. You also take into account that with acceptance of the documents the electoral figures no longer add up!

I read the judgement. No where does it say that any attempt was made to establish the authenticity of the documents even when INEC (who supposedly issued them) had clearly stated they were not authentic AND it was clear that including them would make for impossible math!

CanadaOrBust:
Mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against all lower courts AND INEC itself in other to immediately remove a seating governor - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the plaintiff himself!!

Wike vs ABE In 2015

Zamfara in 2019

Staro:
Why are all Buhari's supporters so dumb and brainless?

What do you mean by "Wike vs Abe 2015"?
Did Wike (governor) ever had any legal battle with Abe (Senator) in 2015?
Maybe the case only existed in your dream

And for your information, in the case of Zamfara, all the two lower courts ruled against APC.
(The federal high court Abuja and the federal Appeal court Sokoto). It was so obvious even to
the blind that APC were going to lose Zamfara.


Oga, it's not a must to contribute in a forum.

berrystunn:
You want inec to provide something that did not exit?


Government magic
One can easily get a result from all the units inec did not cover ... How will inec challenge it ?

The case is re-run case
With government magic, they can provide 200 reason to favour who ever they wash to favour. (Corruption) inec material is not 100% secure


People way no know dey happy.

People wey know them dey look

Yusman316:
So u are saying inec did not conduct elections in those polling units, but can't prove that the said elections didn't hold. So who then do u think is at fault, if inec can't prove what they assert?

Jack500:
U said worse concerning Buhari, u can finally kill urself in 2023, when Osibanjo become the president.

Yusman316:
My brother with all the thorough explanations this gentleman has been making to u, u are still arguing up and down incoherently. Just say your issue is, the judgement went APC's way. We all know it's not about the judges not giving the right judgement, but who the judgement favored

Don't mind those pdp folks. Intelligence is so far from them. They thrive more on sentiments

Maybe. But for me this is not about partisan politicking as it is about law, logic and common sense.

Gbam,thats it

A South-East governor was heard saying: “I cannot be a party to mudslinging against the Judiciary. We warned some of those behind the protest to think of tomorrow.”

This is the truth, we should not be rubbishing our National Institution just because of Politics.

Clinton knew she was rigged out in the election but remained silent to protect US dignity.

CanadaOrBust:
It is cowardice to keep quiet in the face of injustice or to not point out evidence that an institution might be compromised.

Besides, Clinton was not rigged out at all. She handily won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote!

solmusdesigns:




Umahi is APC, same as Ugwuanyi, Wike is also looking to port since Jonathan is also one leg in... Ikpeazu is very loyal to Cabal and he displayed his loyalty by proscribing IPOB

[i]This is Politics, and everyone is fighting for their own survival, and trying not to end up in Jail like Orji Uzor Kalu

You might want to define your injustice as regard to the case.
INEC officials who run independently in the state messed up Election result, SC pass judgement based on fact presented before them where is the injustice.
