Its not too late.there's a review and lm candidste matter is looming
Hahahahahahaha........I know you.

That day now, you go begin fear. Tanko will have to void his own decision on Zamfara before he can do that to Bayelsa.

Whatever hits Zamfara will hit Bayelsa. Since Zamfara comes first, we shall see.

But you know, I know, we all know....the case falls flat on its belly.

This is a pre-election issue.

Note, the SC does not have the power to call for a re-run or nullify an election, unless it has originated from a lower court.
See eehn. This ur assertion. Na wait and see o.
You do realise the strongest point for review in Imo election is that both Hope and ihedioha did not meet the spread, so don't be surprised if the SC relies on its powers granted it by Gabriel kolawole to order a rerun for Imo.

Funny,you are cornering yourself.umeh went to court challenging uche's nonination not the election.he lost at the tribunal
it was Obiora Okonkwo a PDP aspirant that challenged the nomination. umeh went to challenge the election; later edit it to challenge both.

just Google the court judgement;

Once election concludes,all pre election cases are overtaken by election tribunal.being sworn in does not give them immunity from electoral cases.going by records,it is time the supreme court rescinds its decisions.that time is here.the pressure is much

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.
Did Mary Odili give the lead judgement? Why are you so pained. She chaired the panel doesn't mean she took the decision on her own. Why can't you just leave the woman alone and deal with your miserable life the lifeless dullard has made you to suffer undecided undecided cry cry

Nwosu was disqualified for being a candidate of two parties by the SC.
So like in Zamfara and now Bayelsa.....With that disqualification, Ihedioha meets same spread. Because Nwosu's votes is 0.
By that disqualification....Ihedioha supposedly had won 24 LGAs (that is before this judgement last month). This judgement and votes of 388 PUs i don't know the LGAs it did cover.

There have been cases, they ruled for this;
See AMAECHI V. INEC (2008) 5 NWLR (Pt. 1080) 227.
See AGBAJE V. INEC (2015) LPELR-25651(CA).

Except when hearing appeals from the Court of Appeal in respect of a decision from an election tribunal.

I remember there was a dissenting appeal at the CA in favour of Hope. Unless the SC cites that to support the minority judgement, I don't think they have that jurisdiction.

The reversal will not be based on section 140 but on the errors pointed out by wole and even you are making so many.trust wole to prove that forgery wasn't conclusiclvely proved.
The zamfara case is too clear,apc did no primary abdbif they did,it was against their own rules which provided for a 7 man panel to come outside zamfara.even a blind man will agree with that fact.but in the case of bayelsa,you cannot say the same.

By the way fury against your expectations thrsshed wilder like lyon did to diri

They must call for a rerun
Even if it is rerun? APC can't field candidates cos their candidacy is question and the time to run primaries is over. They can't swap candidates anymore and Lyon can't run independently so it's back to PDP and others...

Re: Bayelsa Election: Falana Says Supreme Court Is Wrong, Lacks Jurisdiction by asobo:
Iamgrey5:
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.

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) ?
Oga lawyer the case was already instituted before the election which makes it a pre election matter. I hope you are also aware that this same certificate forgery case was brought before the tribunal challenging his senatorial elections but it was dismissed at the tribunal and appeal court because it was a pre election matter not post election. Digest the two scenarios. Have a nice day.

This kind guy and your tongue-twisting.
Wole will just collect cash and go and rest. His cases are not even premised on forgery. His case is...when you uphold the HC judgement, it never disqualified the ticket.
So Wole is inadvertently telling us that, it only voided Degi so Lyon can run on his own.
He has Section 187(1) and (2) in his constitution. He should please appeal to God.

That's why its a sport..... Like I told you, I felt wilder was better but I liked fury. I still told you Same day that Joshua was rooting for fury.

Dats true though. That means ihedioha has a better chance than Hope since Hope had 25% in only four LGAs. APC goons still have a lot of wailing coming o

Faleke never denied officially...he used the press.

Moreover that's a landmark judgement never envisaged by the Electoral Act. Precedents will be taken from that case.

He has a valid point. Nwosu's disqualification reduces total votes in areas he won giving ihedioha more leverage of spread which Hope has absolutely no chance of meeting!!

I like Falana for one thing like one of my Profs do tell us those days during our PhD classes. "If you want to be relevant, after obtaining PhD, where something is convincingly correct and the generality of the people in a conference agree that it is correct, take a different stand on the issue and be bold to tell them that it s wrong. With that, they will leave the conference but they will never forget you"

You are not getting it.hope has the highest votes but may not have the spread while ihedioha has the spread but not the highest votes which means a rerun according to fergie.

For me,in several parts of orlu hope met the spread and removing nwosu's votes widens his spread plus his near 213,000 votes which may even reduce ihedioha spread
