This shows you don't like good things for bayelsa state. That man want to work and please repent. Accept him now kos the rejected stone the builders (your likes) rejected is becoming the cornerstone. You better embrace him. For the first time in bayelsa state I'm seeing a governor who is ready to work. Put bitterness aside, put political affiliations aside and embrace him.
If it was alaibe,I for accept am.getting ready to work is not the same as working.I hate usurpers or cutting of corners.

You are right,pdp can miraculously win since the appellants are using rookie lawyers.
The bolded has happened in Adamawa and bauchi this election cycle to apc candidates.
That's why they brought the SANs for intimidation purposes.

Moreover, this is Nigeria. Opuama might be angling for bigger pay.

Uzodinma nko grin

Our system na cash-and-carry . Have you seen the way Wike talks?

He speaks with authority because he has strong men/women in the Judiciary. These men have planted loyalists everywhere so they can just ask for their advice and come out to command authority.

If you are a Gov or fmr Gov, and you don't have men in the Judiciary, sorry na your name. Ask Asiwaju, ask Peter Odili, ask Wike.

Too late, he has filed his petitions already. The SANs now will exploit every exploitable like they did to Lyon's deputy.

Very clearer. I saw Lawrence's certificate and I was ashamed.
But you know our lawyers and Judges. It happened in the case of Ayade, who had over three age declarations but the Courts did moya look away. So many instances here. Nothing startles me with our court decisions anymore.
The court even told us that a proof or affidavit can suffice, even for Office of the President. You have seen that APC has kept quiet, that is to tell you that the case isn't worth fighting.

Amaechi likes the PDP there because he doesn't want to drag regional boss with Sylva.

Now, the PDP is saying prove what I submitted at the INEC Secretariat.

And again, there is a rumour that they have taken that one out with the connivance of some INEC staff at Yenagoa. That's why INEC has said they will publish candidate's information on their public noticeboards, starting with the Edo and Ondo elections.

That of ayade own was clearly the handwork of onnoghen who was pressurised by prof ivara that is why I dislike onnoghen.it shows that degi's case could have gone either way

I still have that hunch that if Ihedioha's election had stood, they would have allowed Lyon's case to also stand. I still believe that Lyon took his case for granted but he was a victim of Ihedioha/Uzodinma 'ish (I might be wrong though).

I was livid when I heard the case of Ayade. Now, the NJC retires some judges for age falsification, and left a man who shouldn't be Gov in the first place.

The same people who opposed Ayade, backed Buhari for his cert issues

The same people who supported Ayade, oppose Buhari.

So all man for himself ooooo....Opuama should cash out big time oooo, that's my advise for him

In order to send a bigger message,he should not cashout.we need to define forgery once and for all.several lawyers I met concerning ayade case struggled to justify the ruling,they simply said it was based in security reasons.
Buhari own is different,atiku never said he forged anything.atiku said buhari did not submit.ayade case is also similar to wike's case.
My problem with onnoghen is that he compromised himself unwisely.it is easier engage in corrupt acts as a junior office but once you get to higher positions,you need to stop because all eyes are on you.he should have stopped immediately he got to the apex court,mind you a panel once recommended his removal.that should have served as a warning.

The Courts have ruled in an earlier case that even if you see any discrepancy with the person's paper, INEC have no right to disqualify same person.

It recently happened to Yahaya Bello on his disqualification saga but INEC couldn't do same. Go to the Courts and prove it.

However, INEC has said they will improve with how they keep the information of candidates. Before now, they don't make it public but that will change with the upcoming Edo and Ondo elections.

For the first time, INEC will post all information about the candidate(s) with respect to their education, age, etc. on the noticeboards situated at their State Secretariats.

Nonetheless, they still don't have the powers to disqualify.
the country is messed up...

You don't know the desperation of those in power.
If PMB's certificate is perfect as you said, how many SANs did he hire again? Over 7, they said they worked pro-bono.....hahahaha.

Cut Onnoghen some slack, none of those Justices sitting on that bench can beat their chests and totally exonerate themselves of any wrongdoing. You and I know how they got to that bench. You cannot isolate politics otherwise you go retire for HC.

Clara Ogunbiyi JSC (rtd) read the judgement for the panel headed by Rhodes-Vivour JSC.....Onnoghen wasn't even in the panel sef
I will not be surprised if that same argument then will save Diri again.
Olanipekun stood in for Ayade.

Opuama without the backing of the eggheads in APC (who obviously don't want to get involved) will hit a brickwall. You and I know that.

Leave this people oooooooooo....

Who reads the judgment doesn't matter,the power is with who constitutes or heads it.the reader might even be innocent.all you need to is to get a simple majority like yaradua did in 2008 against buhari...

The amount of sans buhari hired doesn't mean he's guilty after all most governors or appellants hire as many sans as possible.buhari might have forged his certificate but he was smart not to have submitted them.atiku only realized the forgery part when it was too late and the case was never about forgery take note.
But what is clear is that buhari has a primary sch cert and attended secondary education up to ssce level but may not have sat for the exams or may have dropped out or may have satvfor it and lost it or never collected it.but he did attend and provided evidence to this which is what the law required.

Diri case might be like ihedioha's case,you won't see it coming.it will depend on if actually he submitted his nysc and the testimony or evidence from nysc will be crucial.apc once raised alarms about the attempt to remove the certificate which suggests interest.they don't always need to cause media nuisance like loud mouthe ologbondiyan

Coming from Opuama and his lawyers nah.....His case will not live.

Don't forget in a hurry how Degi lost his case. I don't want to get to the PMB case but Opuama will have to do better.

I will still not hit at Onnoghen, unless you also want to attack Tanko for the Imo issue. Onnoghen was suppose to kick-start the judiciary reforms having worked with men that carved a niche for themselves: Kutigi, Uwais, Aloma et al. Tanko won't do better than him....no be curse.

Onnoghen came at a time money was pushed into the judiciary, so he was carried away but the man sabi law.

I wish Opuama well. I know how difficult it is to graduate through Univ yet one alleged forger go dey climb politically. Don't also forget INEC has a role in this because they will provide the document(s) in their custody.

Do I honestly see a leeway for Opuama?
Presently NO....Unless he changes something.

The question should be that did he forge nysc cert or not?
He who alleges must prove beyond reasonable doubt. PDP is not like APC that do not carry out proper search on it's candidates before forwarding the name's to INEC, because they believe like all occupational forces nobody can dare them. Bros Sorry o! nothing dey come out from the case. Warri call dis type ODIODI!
