That Supreme Court Magic Judgment
This Day (Lagos) 17 FEBRUARY 2020

... According to summary of trial materials, no ward collation agent was called to show that at the collation center results were brought from the 388 polling units where the alleged exclusion took place...

The petitioner, rather called 28 polling unit agents who came to identify some of the results tendered by the petitioner from the bar. All the electoral documents were tendered from the bar and thus dumped on the court without anybody giving evidence correlating the contents of the result Forms with the tabulation done by the petitioner himself.

Each of the 18 polling unit agents under cross-examination, manifested ignorance of the contents of the documents and never convinced anybody of being present in their claimed polling units...

When confronted with the purported result sheets tendered by the petitioners, each of the witnesses admitted as follows:
i. The names and signatures of the Presiding Officers are not well found on those results.
ii. The names and signatures of other party agents did not appear on the result sheets, neither could they mention even one party agent of the other political parties in those booths.
iii. The result sheets do not contain the total number of ballot papers used and number of ballot papers unused or invalid. The scores of political parties are not clear on the face of the documents.

Based on the above, it appears the Supreme Court was desperately working to an answer in favour of the ruling party... and the only opening to do that was to accept the fictitious results of the 388 polling units willy-nilly. And instead of doing substantial justice on the matter, it ended up delivering one of judiciary's greatest infamies which even a kid learning arithmetic can see through. The judgment turned logic on its head, rewrote the basic universal laws of arithmetic and did grave and substantial injury to our democracy and the power of the people to choose who governs them. With this judicial precedent, the Supreme Court has inevitably rubber-stamped political rascality and the judgment could shape our democratic future.

The court has widened the opening which politicians exploit and manipulate to get into elective offices. All one needs to do is to stay somewhere, maybe in one's room, probably with one policeman or so, write one's own results, submit to INEC for counting and if it refuses, don't worry, bid your time till you get to the court. With supreme arrogance, the final court of appeal will recognise the results as legitimate, credible and authentic and pronto, you will be declared duly elected.

...Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state. ..,Does it mean that other parties such as All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance (AA), etc., did not participate in the election in those 388 polling units contrary to INEC's results in other areas of the state?
Why did the result sheets reflect only two parties when so many parties participated in the said election? Apparently, Senator Uzodinma concocted those results that fly in the face of the basic laws of arithmetic and common sense between the PDP and the APC after the fact that the PDP had won the election and he only scored his party a vote figure higher than the PDP vote. The corollary to that is that if it was any other party that was on the cusp of victory, Uzodinma's results would have been between just the APC and that party! Yet our almighty Supreme Court glossed over all these fundamental anomalies in Uzodinma's result sheets which had been rejected by even INEC... and accepted same as authentic.
A further assessment of the result sheets of the disputed 388 polling units showed that the said units are all in the Orlu Senatorial Zone where Uzodinma and the candidate of the Action Alliance Ugwumba Uche Nwosu come from. So even if the 388 polling units were concentrated mostly in Uzodinma's ancestral home, surely, Nwosu who emerged second in the March 9, 2019 election in Imo State and was backed by the incumbent governor at the time, Rochas Okorocha, his father in-law, must have amassed some votes from the units. But these votes were curiously missing, for the simple reason that they forged the results, and very badly at that.
Furthermore, that Uzodinma of the APC scored an average of 98% of the total votes cast in the 388 units, whereas he scored an average of 13% in the remaining polling units in the state jumped out at me. How could this be? Why was it that it was only in these 388 units throughout the state that the voter turnout was either more than the registered voters or achieved 98 to 100 percent of the registered voters? Please note that emphasis is NOT on the number of accredited voters which is usually far less than the number of registered voters. Uzodinma's fake results validated by our Supreme Court defy reason. The pattern of the results from the disputed 388 polling units clearly shows the improbability of such an occurrence. And on the basis of the testimony of one policeman, and 28 discredited polling units' agents who gave contradictory statements at trial, the Supreme Court accepted the results.

In declaring Uzodinma governor of Imo State, the Supreme Court simply annulled a valid mandate freely given to an individual and transferred it to another person who came fourth in the election.

Good sir, that u r a paid political apparatchik doesn’t mean everybody is. I am actually not partisan at all. I don’t think PDP is better APC at all, neither do I like Ihedioha more than Uzodinma. It’s just that this particular judgment goes waayyy out of bounds. It diminishes me and every other Nigerian including you. How can I teach children about not cheating when they can see for themselves that the final court in the land rewards cheating and forgery??

They can’t because there is nothing to argue - the truth is right there for all to see. Besides I am not for any party. I go case by case. I’m just vehemently against this ridiculous judgment

Keep deceiving the gullible Nigerians that are lazy to download and read the judgement from tribunal to appeal and finally to supreme court. ..One area of interest is that Inec who are the 3rd respondents, told the court that they will present the authentic result of the 388 units....They failed to do this . Even a mad man will know that both Inec and pdp are partners in crime. They went ahead to reject the duplicate result that the police tendered. They claimed is not certified copy ..and was not tendered by the make which is Inec....Supreme court had to put them in their place by reminding stakeholders that duplicate result sheet given to police after election is to act as a mechanism to prevent fraud and alteration of result. This will enable court to ascertain who is saying the truth in case of conflict. .To this extent, the police result duplicate is acceptable in our laws and remain valid. Even if you like run to God , ihedioha is gone and can only contest again in 4 years.

With due respect sir, have u no shame? Can’t u forget having a sentimental favorite for a second, and just step back and broadly look at what it is u r defending? Can’t u see that if this embarrassment of a judgement is let stand it diminishes every Nigerian including yourself because it blatantly rewards clear cheating and forgery that even kids can tell is cheating and forgery. How can u teach children about not cheating when they can see for themselves that the final court in the land rewards cheating and forgery?? Also, at the very least, it greatly reduces your ability to have a say in who governs u because it allows for any ruling party to “win” any election it wishes, which will inevitably lead to a one-party state.

Do u ever think of that and what it portends for your children and grandchildren. No, because u r so totally consumed with the narrow sentimental victory of today!

A Supreme Court overrules all lower courts plus INEC in order to replace an 8-month gov with a 4th place finisher, all based on clearly fraudulent documents! And here u r, defending it!

INEC personnel s appointed by the government (and therefore the party) in power, who also provides their money and also controls all state machinery and money. INEC is, therefore, controled by whichever party is in power NOT Ihedioha. That same INEC swore under penalty of perjury that they never issued the Uzodinma documents, that they are fake!

With due respect sir, examine your thinking and ask yourself, “What is wrong with me?!”

I was trying to see if you have any thing meaningful to counter the judgement but nothing was found. Supreme court saw merit in uzodinma appeal ....the tribunal and appeal court struck out that merit based on technicality....you cannot sacrifice justice on the alter of technicality . This is not the First time supreme court has come to rescue justice....they did it during wike and dakuku time ...Dakuku won in tribunal , won in appeal court but wike won where it matters most ....supreme court. You are the person applying sentiment without looking at the judgement delivered by supreme court ....go back and read thAt judgement properly ....

(I just noticed your moniker. U r the same person I put in your place by clearly proving u a liar. That’s the problem with a faceless forum, otherwise you’d have been too ashamed to ever show your face again.)

With due respect sir, ARE YOU MAD?!

It is clearly the SC that’s relying on ridiculous technicality instead of seeing the obvious fraudulent nature of the documents right in front of them.

It is the SC that bent itself out of shape to carefully avoid mentioning numbers in their judgment, in a case that is all about numbers!
It is the SC that carefully avoided saying anything about meeting “the required constitutional geographical spread of votes” Because they know the numbers make no sense - the man gave himself 2 times the registered number of voters in some places!
Even INEC carefully made sure NOT to release final tally of votes (because they know they’d be laughed at!)

Did u even read this part of the summation at all?:

Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state.

With due respect sir, stop making a fool of yourself. Right-thinking Nigerians already see this judgement for what it is.

Ihedioha Vs Uzodinma: Civil Society Leaders Urge Supreme Court To Reverse Judgment

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, FEB 11, 2020

Leaders of civil society in Nigeria have asked the Supreme Court to set aside its judgment pronouncing Hope Uzodinma as duly elected governor of Imo State...

The group posited that the court erred in its judgment and faulted the process through which the apex court arrived at the decision.
In the statement signed by Dr Olusegun Awe Obe, the Concerned Leaders of Thoughts and Conscience in Project Nigeria, highlighted reasons the court should not have pronounced Uzodinma as winner of the election...
