Let there be peace oOoOO!

Pdp used subpoenaed witnesses to bring inec documents and agents in gayam and chiroma

This one is valid according to my view ooo. The deposition judgement is different here. This is within the state and country and it was not challenge by the defendants lawyer.

garfield1:
Emmanuel Agim, justice of the supreme court, says the deposition of the registrar for Chicago State University was not authenticated for use in Nigeria.

The supreme court on Thursday dismissed the application for leave to file fresh evidence against President Bola Tinubu by Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the February 25 election.

Abubakar had secured an order from the US district court for the Northern District of Illinois, directing the release of Tinubu’s academic credentials.

Abubakar and PDP alleged that Tinubu submitted forged academic credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to enable him to contest the election.

However, the court held that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain an issue that was not presented during the election petition tribunal proceedings.

The court also dismissed the entire petition seeking to overturn the verdict of the tribunal which affirmed Tinubu’s election.

Agreeing with the lead judgement delivered by Inyang Okoro, Agim said there was nothing authenticating the documents obtained by the appellants.

“The deposition for this additional evidence is inadmissible,” the justice said.

“If a document is inadmissible, you cannot ask that you should be allowed to bring it in as fresh evidence.

“A reading of the deposition exposes that it is not authenticated by the seal of the authority before whom it was issued.

“A deposition from another country to be used in Nigeria should prima facie, give features of authentication such as the official seal of the court where it is sworn or if it is before a notary public, a seal or signature.”

He said if it is sworn in the Nigerian embassy, high commission or consulate in that country, the signature of the officer authorised to do so and the seal of the embassy, high commission or consulate must be seen.

“Such authentication is an assurance of the origin and authenticity of the foreign deposition,” Agim added.

“In our present case, the certified shorthand reporter before whom the deposition was made did not authenticate the deposition with her seal.

“She merely signed a certificate of report bearing her name and number. Being a deposition from another country, it cannot be used in Nigeria without authentication. The authentication of the oath administration is mandatory.”

Agim also expressed concerns as to why the deposition was made in the law office of Abubakar’s lawyer instead of the court which gave the order.

“I’ve wondered why the deposition made… was not made before the court,” he said.

“And if made elsewhere in the law office of the first appellant’s attorney why was it not filed in the above-mentioned court because of the peculiar circumstances of this case and adopted as the deposition ordered to be made by the court so that it can form part of the record of the court.”

Agim also faulted the appellants for failing to secure a letter from CSU disclaiming the records Tinubu forwarded to INEC.

“I have continued to wonder why the appellant did not use the advantage of the order of the district court that the college produce documents and deposition concerning those certificates,” he said.

“Why they didn’t use that advantage to secure a letter from the college under its letterhead, seal and signature disclaiming the certificate presented by the second respondent to INEC as not one issued by the college?

“Instead, they resorted to this deposition which has no features of authentication, thereby rendering it spurious and inadmissible.”

Unbiased judgement!

Another World war knocking at the door.

garfield1:
Yesterday judgment also settled the nasarawa guber judgment.

In what way?

garfield1:
Diri tried compared to okowa Sha but the margin was nothing to write home about.i guess his apc counterparts were more motivated

Hmmm!

shevchenko:
Is it a crime to curse him

Why must you curse him?

garfield1:
Even if you remove lp,it will be tight.in the nass elections,the margin was tight...you can't add l votes to pdp as some emanated from APC...
Diri could have done better.see the gap between apc and pdp in rivers,Edo,crs

All these states have issues na. You know this. The G-5 effect.

Athena6:
I didn't get the money by working, I got it as a sort of inheritance, if I was earning very very high I might stay but I just wanted to leave the country

If you reside in a local area, I will advice you to buy Bajaj or Boxer okada. Give it out to those who will make payments in instalment.

In area like Epe, you buy it at around 400k and give it out at 750k within 7 or 8 months.

Fact!

Before nko?


You no get option na!

garfield1:
Bayelsa is the last place obi can win in ss.besiises,that is a poor margin compared to 2019

Add labour Party votes to the PDP to see the difference.

I didn't believe this. If PDP were not on ballot, Obi would have won Bayelsa. APC would have come second if your claim was right.

garfield1:
Deliver with how many margin

Is it 1k margin?

If not for Diri intervention, Obi would have won there. Remember how those people were controlling and intimidating voters to vote for Obi in that area.

See the result here:

The PDP scored a total of 68,818

Labour Party 49,975.

Progressives Congress (APC), 42,572

Diri rejoice with who? Didn't he delivered for Atiku?

Media and stupid news.

Simple truth

This is what I have been asking from the inception. No figure provided so far to determine the margin of lead and to proof the case.

Na lie! If him try am, Dem go show am pepper!

Yes!

The decision will surprise those who are holding on to their prayers alone.

If you are the type who don't bother yourself, nothing will surprise you. It's either good or bad.

Whatever the judgement is, we move!

God! These people have turned the world to something else!

I just dey laugh!

Una dey alive when Buhari start am. Make another tribe man win after Tinubu make him self favour him pipu.

As the game don change, baba dey vex for the president. Tinubu no kuku send am!

What do you guys gain in killings and destructions?

This madness should stop pls!

May God heal him completely.

Emperormartin:
You're the senseless one here...

Go and hold rally in Lagos for Kazakhstan banning hijab ASAP...

Try hold the rally before this week runs out.

Your father is senseless.

joyandfaith:
Wearing of hijab is just a cultural practice predated islam. Arabs are using cultural garment and language to keep colonizing people in 21st century.

This colonization is what I can't say ooo but you are very correct on cultural practice.

Emperormartin:
Go and hold rally in Lagos protesting about it

Some of you are allowing your childish behavior to becloud your maturity. Being a teenager does not take away your sense. You find it difficult to reason responsibly. You just type anyhow as if you have the monopoly of violence without thinking about the status of the person you are chatting with. What is wrong or provocative in my statement here now? I do not know why some of you usually forget your senses on faceless platform like this. No constructive argument, all you know is insult and you want to lead the country. It's obvious, you can't be part of tomorrow's leader!

Besides, is wearing of hijab or something related to covering of head not in the bible?

Pls, if you can't rightly use your sense, pls stop quoting me.

Vintage100:
Is there anything wrong with wearing of hijab?? Like seriously can someone educate me on this ??

I tire ooo!

Bimpe29:
Ogede! End time development. They celebrate immorality, frustrate and discourage morality.

God bless you!

This is infringement of people's right. It is impolite to ban wearing of hijab. The proper thing should be not to compulsory students to wear it.

Thank God ooo!

In a country called Nigeria!
