Which kind wahala b this one

APC is just a party filled with thugs and criminals.

I still cant believe Nigerians opened their eyes and voted for this useless govt.

Well,nigerians love suffering and smiling while hating the truth

Burning down odili's court would have been better.

Arrewa:
If na for north this one dey happen now...


They will start telling you how violent the Northerners...

This one na just peaceful protest

northern is in the same situation with Afghanistan Somalia Pakistan Yemen Iraq Syria Mali Chad Niger republic dont mention north when we talk about southern nigeria,they way I see you I think your suicide bomber on waiting list ,very soon you will go and enjoy your 72virgins

Remain calm, they ll be traced out one after the other.

Poloyanabo1:

it boils down to the attitude of the people not party bro... Igbos are more reserved than bayelsans, have you ever asked why they find joy killing military men?

Oil deh your head jare,kudos to you!!!

Both IMO and bayelsal state judgment are political motivated.

AreaFada2:

Their leaders are thugs, looters and forgers. Oshiomhole is a do or die politicians. There;s never peace where he leads.

Who killed Funsho Williams again?

Your father killed Funsho Williams. Now you know.

NEIGHBOUR:



Your father killed Funsho Williams. Now you know.

We all know your Lord and Saviour of Bourdillon is the heartless killer.

He will someday have to face Funsho in the great beyond. In any case Funsho's children were complete to bury him. A blessing his killer will never have. Amen.

Oya, Bourdillon Asslickers come and ban me. I will create at least 10 other monikers and become very mean here.

I thought same party faithful were appearing PDP to accept verdict in good faith when it happened in IMO?

codedguy1:


The guy raised a poser and answered it in the affirmative.

I disagree with his assertion. How can you withdraw from a race you have already been disqualified from.

This is how lawyers will start to turn logic on its head just to justify their bias.

The deputy and by extension the APC ticket has been disqualified, to now turn to say he withdraws just to give chance for another person is akin to fraud in this instance.

My humble opinion.

There is another opinion from another lawyer.

The Way To Proceed in Bayelsa Is To Swear In The PDP Candidate Immediately

1. By the terms of the Supreme Court judgment of 13/2/2020, the two candidates sponsored by the APC for the Bayelsa Governorship election became disqualified.

2. The Surpeme Court treated them as if they were never candidates in the election, that is they should not have been part of the election ab initio.

3. The disqualification of the APC candidates by the court automatically voids whatever result APC polled in the election. Thus, all the votes cast for the APC candidates automatically become voided by reason of the Supreme Court decision and cannot be added to total valid votes.

4. The total lawful votes for the Bayelsa Governorship Election prior to the Surpeme Court judgment was 499,551, out of which APC had 353,552, which has now been voided by the Supreme Court, leaving total lawful votes cast to be 145,999, from which INEC is to calculate the 25% spread. PDP has 143,172, which clearly meets 25% of the lawful votes of 145,999.

5. INEC is not to calculate 25% of voided votes which in the eye of the law are null and do not exist.

6. By virtue of section 287(1) of the 1999 Constitution, INEC should immediately issue certificate of return to the PDP candidate, without further ado.

7. The Chief Judge of Bayelsa State should proceed to swear in the PDP candidate immediately.

8. Anyone dissatisfied with the decision of the Surpeme court should follow due process of law.

9. The judgment of the Surpeme court is an indictment on INEC, the political parties and the President who has failed to fulfill his promise of electoral reforms.

10. It is not proper for our leaders to keep pushing us to the point where the will of the people to choose their leaders during elections is upturned by the courts.

I had read this report earlier and I think it even explains the whole thing better.

I just wanted to answer that lawyers assertion that even if there is a rerun APC would not still be on the ballot.

Claiming to withdraw so that they can field another candidate after being disqualified is just being arrogant and stupid.

Because they know the people actually rejected PDP at the polls and would do so again if given the chance that's why all these option replacement is being touted.

They should go lick their wounds.

Am not surprise that is evil party for yoj

Am not surprise that is evil party for you

As much as this is not necessary I can understand their frustration.

Nasir123:
This is bad.

I believe this is the best time for all stakeholders in the state to come together to forestall any further break down of law and order.
People had been patient enough for Dickson to go. But now that the law has acted otherwise, the elders must save the state putting politics aside.

The tension in the state currently is very high. The Governor and every other stakeholders must act.

I advise the new Governor visit Goodluck Jonathan, Timipre Sylva, and even David Lyon to immediately relive the state of every possible breakdown of law and order. And also to prepare him a smooth and peaceful governance of his new administration.

God bless Bayelsa state.

Very well said.

Jonathan saw blood thirsty people and knew the fight was not worth people's blood.

The leaders of APC will stop at nothing to retain power.

you have done a great service to your father land. You are a patriot

femmy2010:
It seems PDP has truly lost it in Bayelsa.
I would have preferred a Re-Run Election which excludes the disqualified APC so the populace can cast a Majority Vote for their Choice.
The arrangement looks likes an imposition.

I agree

May God bless you brother. Sometimes i wonder if he does his barbecue business only on nairaland. He's been absent since yesterday roasting dead meats for fellow protesters.
