Mtchew!!! Falana should focus on how to win El Zakyzaky case that he abandoned nd leave bayelsa election matter, he is not vast in law more than d 5 supreme court justices that delivered the case. Just because he manage to win Sowore case he now thinks he is more vast than anybody in law 90 Likes 11 Shares |

PDP simply adopted technicality method which APC brought. Thus PDP defeated APC in their own game. That's what you get when technicality becomes the order of the day. APC should cry, Osun state saga will continue to speak against them. 115 Likes 13 Shares |

Fasindo:A lot of people have said the judgment of the Supreme court is very funny. First of all, the federal high court judgment which the supreme court upheld never removed the governor, it only disqualified the running mate. Secondly, PDP only appealed the case after the Election not before. Apc actually won the appeal at the Appeal court. 66 Likes 12 Shares |

donpapa:State the electoral act that supports the removal of an elected governor because his deputy wss disqualified? Yes, it does because the Appeal court already passed a judgement in favour of the APC before the election. donpapa:Uncle lawyer, section 36 deals with the death of candidate before election result is announced not fraud related issues. Please state the laws that backed the removal of the governor because his deputy was found to have presented a fake or misleading document. And Sir, the Appeal at the supreme court only came after the election I hope you understand that the Judges made a technical error not referring the case to the special court for election matters ( Tribunal) ? 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Iamgrey5: I am not a lawyer, but do well to read section 36 of the electoral act. Yes, he was elected but the joint ticket only cease to bind them after they’ve been sworn in. Even though you and i know that it would be impossible for anyone to instigate litigation against the governor and the deputy because they enjoy immunity. Meanwhile, the same right the APC has to appeal the High Court’s judgement is the same right PDP has to appeal the appellate court’s judgement at the Supreme Court. After all, it wasn’t a post-senatorial election matter that only ends at the Court of Appeal level. Even if the SC erred on there judgement, I’m afraid it might not be upturned as there was no precedence in that regard. But then, anything can happen. We can only keep our fingers crossed as events unfolds in weeks to come. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

Even an illiterate won't act the way mary odili did. Supreme court don't originate cases, rather they inherites them from lower courts. Nonsense mary odili gave a verdict on an election matter that was never existed anywhere. Mary Odili was given a little test, but she didn't only failed woefully, but also exhibited her devilish attitude. Too bad. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

Dansuqi: Oh well, that would definitely be explicitly dealt with in the SC judgement review. The joint-ticket ish must have emboldened the PDP to approach the court for the disqualification of APC deputy governorship candidate. They (PDP) carefully waited for the INEC substitution window to elapse before they took it up at the court of competent jurisdiction. Let’s not forget these politicians knows themselves.

ZAWs: Why single out Mary Odili? There were 5-members on that panel and they ALL gave a unanimous judgement. The same Mary Odili didn’t fail woefully and exhibited her devilish attitude when she gave a favorable judgement for APC on Kaduna and Nassarawa gubernatorial cases? Why are you people like this? It’s your personal decision if you have issue with the Bayelsa judgement, but stop the (blame game) hypocrisy! This singular act won’t grow and strengthen our democracy. 45 Likes 4 Shares |
