I still don't understand the verdict

The verdict is final because it came from supreme criminals

All the lovers of true democracy are weeping now.

Weeping because of Supreme Criminals (SC)

Elder statesman Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, reacting to Tuesday’s surprise verdict of the Supreme Court announcing Senator Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the 2019 Imo State governorship election, has expressed concern, suggesting that the outcome reinforces the perception that the judiciary appears to have been compromised by the Buhari administration.

Yakasai said that although he is not a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), he nevertheless sympathised with party supporters in Imo State over their loss, regretting that their initial euphoria and jubilation over the election was short-lived, even as he expressed worry that, in his words: “a junior Okoracha is out while a senior Okoracha is in Imo State.”

He noted that the victory of the APC in Imo State, seen alongside the party’s recent victory in Bayelsa State, means that the ruling party has finally broken the southeastern wall, which until now had remained impenetrable to it.

Surprised by the judgement of the Supreme Court, Yakasai hinted that the APC appears determined to secure in court what it could not secure with the ballot box, saying that the party has established a curious pattern of winning power through the court of law rather than on electoral grounds

The Second Republic politician also maintained that the APC could accept to lose at the ballot boxes, the tribunal or even at the Court of Appeal, but would deploy all its arsenals to be the winner at the Supreme Court.

“The present political situation in the country should be a matter of concern to all the lovers of true democracy… the country needs a committed election commission, robust judiciary and the courageous media if it is to sustain the struggle for true democracy in Nigeria,” he declared

The opposition must realise that they are fighting opponents that have over the time been busy concentrating all political and economic power in our nation under their control and of making their party be in control of not only state power but financial and economic powers as well. And they are doing this through threats and intimidation.

“My concern is that we seem to be progressively moving towards a one-party state… because the choice to oppose or to remain in the opposition political parties is gradually being undermined by these sorts of experience from the institutions that are supposed to be the vanguard of the nation’s march towards democracy.”

While stressing that the verdict should serve as a real lesson for the forces pushing for true democracy in Nigeria, he advised the losers to go back to the drawing board and re-strategise in order to be stronger in future electoral contests.”

Those accusing Emeka Ihedioha’s legal team as doing so little, are not informed … They did what they should do, but SC chose their way

(1) Ihedioha’s legal team filed a cross petition which the Briefs were adopted alongside Hope Uzodinma’s appeal.

(2) The Supreme Court in its Judgement never referred to it as they are expected to .
(3) The Supreme Court merely adopted and relied on the 1st two issues for determination raised by the appellant and entered Judgement.

(4) INEC at the Tribunal, up till the Supreme Court, disowned the election results from those polling units as elections were not held therein .

(5) The Question that should have bothered the Supreme Court was: “where did Mr Hope Uzodinma get those forms EC 8As, which was not tendered by INEC, rather was tendered through a policeman via subpoena?”

(6) Can you talk about results from 388 polling units without presiding officers of those polling units or witnesses from those polling units? No !

(7) Did the petitioner call 388 presiding officers of these polling units or witnesses across these 388 polling units to render the said results? No !

( Elections are conducted at the polling units and in a case like this, ingredients of proof or otherwise should be generated from these polling units and ought to be anchored on human witnesses.

No matter how anyone try to defend this, it is a sad judgement for our Democracy.
Sad that we must live with it, but for posterity sake, am making my position known on this matter .
It is about our Constitutional Democracy and not about anyone or party here !
