Sadly, the people’s decision was not considered at all by the justices of the Supreme Court. David Lyon won the election clearly, he should never have been denied the right fruit of his victory simply because of a technical issue.

I didn't see you complain about technicalities when the supreme court threw out osun's case because a judge was not present on a particular day.
I think dat is even worse than this matter where APC deliberately shot itself in the foot.

That technical issue is exactly what kept our country where it is today!
In this case, the technical issue could have been prevented or even avoided.
Political parties should introduce strong background checks for their candidates. SIMPLE!

Agboriotejoye:
This right here is why I believe buhari does not mean well for dis country. The man is simply all about himself. It shows that his grouse with the three previous elections he lost are because he lost not that he feels the electoral process is not perfect.
Even Yar'adua who benefited in 2007 acknowledged the flaws and tried to make amends. Jonathan after benefiting in 2011 also improved on them by 2015. Only for this selfish old man to come in 2015 and dragged us back to 2007. Even after the SC's pronouncement on card readers, he refused to sign a law empowering use of card readers in 2018.
Another name for Buhari is simply hypocrite!!

So you prefer the PDP era where the government of the day intervened in court rulings when it doesn't favour PDP?

Please give it to Buhari that he doesn't interfere or bully judges to rule on behalf of his party. If it was PDP era would Mary Odili, the wife of a PDP chieftain, head a panel on election matters concerning a nearby state of Bayelsa while she has always been perceived to be sympathetic to PDP? Never!

Buhari might have its flaws but certainly not what you painted up there.
Thank you

The deputy candidate should have been disqualified without touching the governor-elect. In the case of James Faleke vs Yahaya Bello, the Supreme Court agreed with APC that a dead candidate can be substituted even after the election. So, why can’t the same apply in this case?

Democracy should be about the people and not about the justices of the Supreme Court. At worst, the court should have ordered another election just like it did in Bauchi some years back when the deputy governor was disqualified. The people should be the ones deciding who rules them and not some justices somewhere.

Death and perjury are not the same my brother.

The Supreme court has spoken, which should be final, as it is all over the world.

It all depends on who the indigenes of Bayelsa want and not what the Hypocrites that have never stepped their feet on Bayelsa state are shouting about.

For those of us that are not card carrying members of any political party, but only vote for good men and women that we believe can move their immediate environment forward (same reason all of us @[/b] voted for our darling Daddy in the presidential election and voted for another candidate in another party in our state of residence, no apologies ro Sanwo-Olu!)

Lastly......

It is a always good and refreshing to see that we have a President who does not intervene in the rule of law.

Elections In Nigeria now,
There is no need to fear.
Why? Because the will of Nigerians will not be subverted. Never! A President once told us in this country that the coming polls would be do or die.
Not with President Buhari. Fair is fair. No foul play. Under his watch, his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa, Oyo State and Anambra states.
At the last Council of States meeting, Gov Willie Obiano publicly registered his appreciation to President Buhari, for the level playing ground he made available during the election in his state. With do or die apostles, and a certain political party in power, such would never happen. Not with their garrison mentality. All states are territories that must be conquered, willy-nilly.

APC has won gubernatorial positions under Buhari in Kogi, Ondo and Edo states. The victories were fair and square. The party lost in Bayelsa, Oyo, Anambra etc.
This President would never manipulate victory for anyone, not even his own party. And you ask us not to trust him?
We will, and no mistake.


God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless Nigeria.

You can not praise imo state Supreme Court decision and at the same time criticize that of Bayalsa state own

mushystuff:
Death is not a ground for disqualification. Deficient or forged academic qualification is. One party cannot be allowed to pick n choose just because!
For me, the Kogi case you refer to is an aberration because death was the issue not a disqualification and elections had yet to be concluded. I hope you know Faleke was not allowed to continue instead a fresh candidate who wasn't on the ticket was nominated ie Yahaya Bello. If you feel the governor elect should not be affected, why was the deputy governor elect in Kogi affected then? It is the yeye APC abracadabra that no one has bothered to challenge.

The point is, the party should have reasonably foreseen the issue of academic qualification and addressed it satisfactorily before nomination. That is why the fallout like in this Bayelsa case is stringent. On the other hand, no one can foresee death unless they chose to field an already terminally ill candidate.

Hmmm. Spot on

Did the Supreme Court allow the imo people to decide who rule them ?

ybalogs:
I have read and had witnessed that when any time a Court' judgement should favour the PDP, her party members and the supporters will hail the declaration. When anytime a judgement should favour the APC, the PDP members would, usually blame the APC for interference and manipulation of such a judgement. I had expected that the INEC who has been saddled with the responsibility of conducting verifiable and good elections would not be questioned for their role. Example is the Zamfara saga. The PDP accepted the declaration of the Supreme Court.

The Imo State declaration of the Supreme Court remained unacceptable to the PDP but the one for Bayelsa State would be greeted with ovation. The Imo State matter was taken to Trump of the USA for his instructions to Nigeria that the Judges' decision should be reversed.

The Supreme Court's declaration on the Local Government Chairmen reinstatement was a good one in Ekiti State but in Oyo State wherein the Supreme Court told the PDP that the Governor lacks the power to sack the Chairmen is still been contested by the PDP.

I believe that to some extent, people should have confidence in the determination of the Supreme Court Judges, perceived/interpreted collectively or individually as either bad or good.

Which supreme Court told Oyo to reinstate sacked LG chairmen? Stop lying, the matter is still in Appeal Court

CanadaOrBust:
Imo state case goes waayyyy overboard. It’s like the SC actively participated in rigging an election. Everybody, including all the lower courts, newspapers, INEC, can see easily that Uzodinma’s figures were clearly fraudulent, EXCEPT THE SC ONLY!

I’m not into politics at all, but here is what someone into Imo politics wrote (and u just know he is telling the truth):

Imo people did not vote for Hope! Hope didn't even campaign in Imo because of the APC crises between him and Rochas who was fronting his in-law, Uche Nwosu.

On the day of the election, Hope and some APC loyalists were lodged in a Hotel in Owerri writing results after INEC announced results. They brought the results and were compelling returning officer to announce but he refused that it was fake that even party reps have raised the alarm.

The supreme Court also ruled that uche nwosu was the candidate of the APC and not HOPE.

But the people of IMO does not have the right to enjoy the Ihedioha they voted for but the Hope the Supreme court chose for them abi?

My comments on the fact that joint ticket helps each other in an election, between the governor elect and his deputy that forge cert. nobody knows if the deputy gathered more vote that gave them victory therefore supreme court was right in their decision. It is high time our politicians will be thought lessons they will never forget and that deputy must be arrested and prosecuted to serve as lesson to future politicians that may like to tow Same part!

e no go beta for dat deputy governor...im village pple WiFi no get password..lyon jst connect to am, thinking z a bonanza..

After all is said and done, INEC that cleared the Deputy Governor elect get away with in competence. The same INEC has cleared many only for the court to expose INEC sham clearance.
Thereafter the forged certificate holder also is not prosecuted. In sane clime, the former deputy governor elect would be in court but not in zoo land Nigeria. He goes scot free like every politician accused of similar crime.
We don't know nothing in this country.

You see why I don't pray for Nigeria again?
So someone cheats in a game and wins and you insist the process is nothing but the outcome should be considered?
How stupid our country is. So, you prefer a cheat who forged common first school leaving and WASSCE certificate to lead you? We are finished
Though I am of the opinion that the ills of the deputy should not affect that of the Governor himself as Nigeria doesn't have a good database to verify facts; so how would Lyon have known the running mate forged documents?

You should at least make a mild attempt at objectivity.

How do you say your Oga allowed the independence of the Judiciary and does not interfere with its workings with his single-handed removing of the CJN without recourse to the NJC as the Constitution and extant laws stipulate?

You accused a PDP regime of declaring elections as do or die, abi? But your Oga too said the blood of dogs and that of baboons would mix should he not win the 2015 polls, while his opponent said his own ambition was not worth the blood of Nigerians. And BH has continued to shed blood till today.

Do you remember what happened in Ekiti and Osun and Kwara where the services of MC Oluomo combined with soldiers and police to physically and violently deprive the people from voting their choices? Do you remember how under PMB in the last elections soldiers and police turned the state into a war zone with attendant loss of lives in their failed attempt to rob the people of their votes for Wike?

Under this regime was where the billions expended on training INEC officers on direct posting of results from the card-reader to the central server was rubbished just to clean up the perfidy of the presidential elections.

Old boy, you live in a glass house, stop trowing stones, abeg!

You're just blabbing with no substance. I guess the onnoghen issue happened during PDP era abi. It remains an incontrovertible fact that after OBJ, Yar'adua and GEJ after him improved on our electoral processes. Go and check. 2011 and 2015 elections had less tribunal cases. You can show us how Buhari's govt has improved our elections

You can also point me to a situation where the PDP interfered in the courts so brazenly as was done in Imo. Even osun state was a miscarriage of justice.

Mind you, PDP was in govt when Ayo Salami was nullifying election results in favour of then ACN and other parties between 2008- 2012.

Nigeria is among the wonders of the world.

The same supreme court that affirmed the election of our president despite not having a certificate, disqualified another for having a forged certificate.

Supreme Court: In Nigeria, its better to contest election without a certificate than to forge one.

Inec: You must possess a legit certificate to be eligible for an election.

You as a citizen, What do you think?

nzeobi:
The supreme Court also ruled that uche nwosu was the candidate of the APC and not HOPE.

They also said nothing about “the required constitutional geographical spread of votes.”
INEC literally gave him certificate the next day carefully making sure NOT to release final tally of votes (because they know they’d be laughed at!)

It is not legally admissible to fault the Governor on fake credentials of the Deputy, it is solely the responsibility of INEC to vet and verify those Certificates before approving any nominated Candidate prior to election after verifying and confirming the credentials.

INEC can not specify the Certificate Requirement of an Office, but refuses to Verify those same documents BEFORE approving the Candidate for Position.

My personal submission is that even as it is, it is only the Deputy that is supposed to be disqualified and not the Governor if his own documents are good.

Besides, how come Supreme Court Judges are focused on Governors and not the President who is clearly very uneducated?

This country is not a home for sane minds, I think Nnamdi Kanu is right. These things can only happen in zoos, and I must apologize for the animals to even naming this a zoo. Animals are more clever than the Supreme Court judges in this case.

I knw majority of you would twist the truth of the matter just to satisfy your inclination but disregard the mandates given to him by majority of Bayelsans

Provide this situation occur to PDP then you would be crying foul by now .

The law is very clear on this. You cannot contest for a governor without a running mate. In this, APC candidate does not have a running mate, that’s why the court sacked him.
