PrinceOfLagos:I am happy you captioned it well, "it is a victory well bought" therefore I don't need to waste my congratulatory salutation on such type of victory. Tinubu is doomed to fail and it is a question of time......just watch and see. |
Reportbutton:Were you raised this way or you just suddenly turned yourself into this nuisance? Which one is jagaban stupid and mumu effect here.....an NGO is helping Nigerians where jagaban crooks will not have hands in the sharing ratio and you are still mentioning a damaged and nasty drug lord? No shame |
LikeAking:Fact! |
taylor88:This is beautiful, you finish talk here |
Deepthoughts:The only saving grace right now is for PDP's legal team to compel FBI, CIA to release the reports on Tinubu today or else this election is gone because this stupid Supreme Court is behind Tinubu |
tesppidd:Forget it, Nigerians can do it.....we can't continue like this haba.....a wild protest is brewing as we speak. |
opamoses1:Celebrating? Where are these ones today? What is the state of the country they all fought for and keep as one? Bunch of suffer heads who never learn anything |
The best part of Judge Jeffrey Gilbert's judgment was when he turned down Chicago State University's request to respond in writing to questions about BAT's documents within 7 days. The judge ruled that they didn't show good cause to merit such & ordered them to appear in person! So, as the questions are being thrown at them, they'd have to answer immediately. No time for mago mago. If it is inJustice Tsammani just imagine what he would have done |
seunmsg:Are you always like this or it strikes you periodically......because I feel like entering into the system now and flog shege promax into your playful and stubborn soul. |
Toks2008:That dude is better ignored as a clown....you must be a special human to keep engaging him. This current development will surely consume Tinubu if feelers from my Intel is anything to go by. You wonder why Atiku approached the Supreme Court for nullification of the PEPT? It simply means Tinubu has no business governing but will serve more in court until his personality and government is thrown out. Right now Tinubu is playing Mr Nice Guy by trying to present himself a good president as a result of these troubling legal cases before him. He is so troubled... |
CSU better be guided ....... |
Isokotolopia:My brother I am just laughing here looking at fools expecting good governance from a character like Tinubu. |
etrange:Well stated |
Tinubu, Chicago State University, INEC and APM’s case https://usafricaonline.com/2023/08/26/tinubu-chicago-state-university-inec-and-apms-case/ By Isa Aliyu Some of the international legal issues facing Nigeria’s embattled and disputed occupant of the presidency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are roaring back to the headlines. Despite the concerted efforts by the Tinubu group to muddle the legal inquiry, it’s important to note the salient facts emerging from his claimed alma mater, Chicago State University. Second, the latest litigation challenges to the credibility and veracity of the certifications/degrees which the controversial politician Tinubu presented as “qualifications” to the INEC and accepted by the INEC. The errant INEC led by Prof. Yakubu who, evidently, hurriedly announced and declared Tinubu as “duly elected”. It is in the light of these events that Nigerians are following the current international court case involving Nigeria’s former VP Atiku Abubakar and Chicago State University (CSU) regarding Tinubu’s qualification for the February 2023 disputed election. Also, millions of voters are not aware that the Presidential Electoral Tribunal in Nigeria is dealing with three petitions — not two. Regrettably, everybody especially the media have not cared to give adequate publicity to the petition of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM). There is a connection between the cases. The argument has been made that how the court/tribunal rules on the APM’s petition will be the litmus test of whether Nigeria’s judiciary wants to contribute to entrenching democracy, the rule of law, fairness and justice in Nigeria or want to continue on what has become a path of manipulation and alleged purchased and procurement of favorable judgments that have made Nigerians to distrust its judiciary, which was regarded decades ago as Africa’s pride. A constitutional lawyer has noted that: while Allied Peoples’ Movement filed its petition on the 20th day of March, 2023 challenging the return of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Tinubu, the petitioner anchored its petition on the non-qualification of the aforementioned Tinubu. The sole ground of the petition filed by the Allied Peoples’ Movement is in conformity with Section 134(1)(a) of the Electoral Act, 2022 Specifically, the Allied Peoples Movement contends that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not qualified as at the time of the Presidential 2023 election as a consequence of his violation of the provisions of Sections 131(c) and 142 of the Constitution as well as Sections 33 and 35 of the Electoral Act, 2022. Whilst it appears that the Supreme Court has by its decision in SC/CV/501/2023_PEOPLES’ DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) VS INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) & 3 ORS determined the violation of Section 35 of the Electoral Act, the violation of Sections 131(c) and 142 of the Constitution as well as Section 33 of the Electoral Act, 2022 remain extant. It is worthy of note that the case of the Allied Peoples Movement as it relates to the extant violation of the Constitution and the Electoral Act is as follows: i. The All Progressives Congress hitherto sponsored Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kabir Masari as its Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates respectively for the February 25, 2023 Presidential election. ii. On the 24th of June, 2022, Kabir Masari in an affidavit deposed to at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, voluntarily withdrew from the Presidential election. iii. Consequently, the All Progressives Congress purportedly replaced Kabir Masari with Kashim Shettima as its Vice-Presidential candidate on the 14th of July, 2022. iv. By Section 33 of the Electoral Act, a political party can only substitute a withdrawn or dead candidate within 14 days of such withdrawal or death. v. By a simple arithmetic calculation from 24th June, 2022 when Kabir Masari withdrew to the 14th day of July, 2022 when Kashim Shettima purportedly replaced him was a period of 3 weeks (that is 21 days) and this is a clear violation of Section 33 of the Electoral Act. The Petition of the Allied Peoples Movement was an undefended petition as it relates to the violation of Sections 131(c) and 142 of the Constitution as well as Section 33 of the Electoral Act, 2022 as the Respondents did not call any witness nor contradict the testimony of the Petitioner’s Sole Witness. Interestingly, the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress admitted that the Kabir Masari withdrew from the Presidential election on the 24th of June, 2022 and was replaced with Kashim Shettima on the 14th of July, 2022; a period of 3weeks. The law is clear as to the parties that have the requisite locus standi to present a petition. By virtue of Section 133(1) of the Electoral Act, the Allied Peoples Movement, being a political party which participated in the Presidential election, has the requisite locus to present a petition to challenge the return made by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the last Presidential election. Section 133(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 provides thus: 133.(1) An election petition may be presented by one or more of the following persons- (a)a candidate in an election; or (b)a political party which participated in the election It is not in doubt that the Allied Peoples Movement participated in the last Presidential election and this singular fact confers her with the requisite locus standi to present a petition to complain about the return made by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the Presidential election. The Electoral Act, 2022 specifically restricts the consequential order to be made by the Tribunal for a petition anchored on non-qualification. By Section 136(2) of Electoral Act, 2022, where a petitioner succeeds in proving the non-qualification of the person returned elected, the tribunal shall declare the person with the second highest number of valid votes cast at the election who satisfies the requirements of the Constitution and the Electoral Act as duly elected. The Electoral Act has by Section 136(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022 circumscribed the powers of the Tribunal as it relates to the order it can make as it relates to the grounds of the Petition and the Tribunal cannot do otherwise. This is regardless of who the Petitioner is. Quo vadis Nigria? To be or not to be? That’s the reality that confronts Nigeria’s judicial system. Nigerians are hopeful yet harbour deep doubt as to whether the Judiciary will find the courage and gumption to rule on this case strictly on the merits of strict jurisprudence and not on the basis of whim, caprice and unlawful pressure that defer to political persuasion. #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary# The Stolen Mandate must be RECOVERED by Nigerians To Change The Narrative.

Tinubu just shot himself in the foot for saying this jargon.... |
sapele914:I hope you are fast getting more senses now as regards this case.....be free |

Ofunaofu:U set get time oooo haba so u don't know that this guy is so sick upstairs and really suffering.....very dirty lawyer for that matter. Imagine the poo he conjured and you are engaging the clown. You fall my hand. Tinubu is gone already..... Nigerians shall greatly celebrate this..... |
FavouredBiano:You are indeed in the know, especially the EFCC part. This is what many of them don't know. The thing is real this time around and not a fraud. |
jubrilELsudan:You sabi the game wella but these young ones won't still understand |
Penguin2:Those guys are just as useless as the people they support. |
slawomir:I always dey feel you bro ![]() |
helinues:Did you read what you type at all? Evidences abound on what transpired that day and Atiku and his team have done justice to prove that INEC was in cahoot with Tinubu/APC to rig that election and you wondered why INEC is acting like an extension of APC in the law court, yet you still didn't grab it. INEC will open their defenses tomorrow let's see your reactions to their ridiculous defenses too as from tomorrow then we can tell where you truly belong. If the court should do otherwise, Nigeria may become ungovernable in the coming days.....Tinubu is a disaster already.... |
*What You Must Know At The Ongoing Presidential Election Tribunal* There are sections in the constitution that addresses the issue of disqualifications. *1. Foreign Nationality* The "constitution" says if a person has acquired another nationality, he is not suitable to contest for the office of President. The constitution wants us to have a president whose allegiance solely belongs to Nigeria. It's a big security issue to have a president who has pledged allegiance to another country. It's like having an employee whose allegiance belongs to another company. Such employee will work against the interest on his current employer. *2. Forged Credentials* There is another section in "our Constitution" which says that a candidate who has submitted forged credentials can not contest for president. Forgery is a criminal offence and it has many dimensions (age falsification, identify theft, impersonation amongst others). *3. Criminal Record* Our Constitution forbids someone with previous criminal activities from contesting. It's in the constitution and I will get u the relevant sections. Tinubu's criminal records encompasses drug trafficking and money laundering. These are not minor offences. If our judiciary clears Tinubu, it implies that yahoo boys and hush puppi or whatever his name is can contest for president. *4. Non Disclosure In Personal Particulars* In Tinubu's nomination form (EC9), Tinubu lied on oath about these facts. Lying on Oath is perjury. *5. Conclusion* It's super certain that all or 3 of the above issues raised will lead to Tinubu's disqualification. Forfeiture is a punishment for a crime committed. Narcotics trafficking is also a serious offence that attracts severe punishment. It must be noted that notarized documents of the judgement of the US District Court was gotten and it has been submitted. Note the word "notarized". What was submitted is not a downloaded copy but a document that was signed and given to Atiku's lawyers, tendered in court and admitted as evidence. Lastly, we must remember that we are in court for 7 issues and not 1. These are the issues: 1. Eligibility of Tinubu to contest at the time of the election. 2. INEC non compliance with their own guidelines and the electoral act. 3. Electoral corruption. 4. Majority winner of "lawful votes." 5. Margin of lead 6. Geographic spread votes scored (25% in 24 states). 7. Constitutional interpretation of 25% in FCT. I don't see any judge waving aside these evidences for Tinubu. Thank you. |
slawomir:You are a great poet, I must confess I heard the cotton buds and ear thing first from a lady friend I nearly laugh out my balls.... You are so correct....especially if you know how "to stir when stiff and right inside her"..... |
Lifestone:So you don't know that it contravened the electoral act and simply means such results had been doctored or can be doctored. |
slawomir:Real disaster |
