Supremos:
Don't mind them. They claim Abuja is a state in Nigeria, but can't tell us who the governor of Abuja is. Can't tell us the capital of Abuja and can't tell us who and who are the members of the Abuja state Assembly

Abuja is the capital of FCT, and the NASS act as the House of Assembly for FCT.
Now are you going to say the Senate President and Speaker must have 25% in Abuja also?

UKEMY:
Answer these:
*How many states does Nigeria has
*Who is the Governor of Abuja
*What is the Capital of Abuja
Please am waiting

Chai. So you don’t know that Abuja is the capital of FCT.
Maybe you should go back and learn states and capital.

Supremos:
I know you're petty. I'm not among the framers of the constitution.
Deal with it. The constitution has already given the conditions for one to emerge as president.

1. Majority votes
2. 25% of votes cast in 24 states AND
3. 25% of votes cast in FCT.

If it's not okay by deal with the constitution

Please from the results declared can you say Obi met the first 2 from your list?
Also section 299 of the constitution has said the FCT should be treated as a state.

Odibembem:
Did INEC not tilt towards same direction with PDP and Adeleke against APC in d Osun elections court case? Some of u Obidients seems to have really poor educational background. When u challenge an election, u join INEC as a direct party or respondent in d case, in other words d petitioner is challenging INEC that INEC broke the law in announcing d other person as d winner. INEC as a direct defender must now defend itself against u that u are wrong and they were right in declaring d said winner. If u don't want INEC to be in same page with d winner, then sue only d winner without joining INEC in your suit. How can u accuse INEC of being a law breaker and rigger and u don't want them to defend themselves?

Most of them are just ignorant of court procedures and lawless. You can see their leader saying his party chairman is someone a court ask not to parade himself as chairman.

Hadeylex:
Why is it that in every discourse or issue that regards to the 2023 presidential election, the APC and INEC always tilt towards the same direction? Why do they always support the same cause and oppose the same way? Is it a sign that something is fishing between the two?

INEC defend Adeleke/PDP, Obaseki/PDP’s mandate in Osunand Edo states and nobody call INEC any names because from the beginning of democracy the body always defend its actions. Now because your tiny god is at the losing end you people start calling INEC names.

Supremos:
They are not saying that other states results are not important. Kindly understand that in WAEC, you must score credit pass in English and Mathematics, it doesn't make other subjects irrelevant.

The constitution has said it, you must abide by the constitution

WAEC is different from election. You read and write WAEC yourself and you must be scored based on what you wrote.
Election is determine by voters and because those in FCT might choose not to vote the candidate with the highest number of votes doesn’t mean he is not qualified to be declared a winner. If this explanation is not clear enough for you then you need to go back to JSS1.

Let us stop this comparison. The whole world know those making mouth.

mycar:
In all elections, INEC allow petitioners to exam the election materials, when you conduct an examination and said that a student failed when he didn't fail, you are bound to present the marked script.
INEC should be able to produce the documents they used in announcing the result.
Sometimes, it is better to keep quiet than to exhibit foolishness online.

The bolded applies to you. If you need a transcript from your former school will it be given to you free of charge?
Didn’t you read where INEC lawyer told the court that Obi/LP lawyers didn’t attend meetings where some documents were to be inspected?
Please always think before coming to the public forum to insult people you can’t even stand in real life.

Penguin2:
Rest.

Obi was returned unopposed by voice affirmation.

So there was no need for voting by delegates.

But even if delegates voted, the presidential primary happened over one year ago and can no longer be challenged.

Tell your paymasters to try another thing.

At the bolded is wrong.
There must be delegates from states even if the candidate is unopposed.
Little research will help.

Penguin2:
Statute barred.

Nothing will come out of this.

Meanwhile INEC has shown that it is just a branch of APC.

It responded to an inquiry from APC with a speed of light but the Presidential Election Petition Court ordered it since March to provide Labour Party with the documents they need to prosecute their case but they have blatantly continued to disobey that order.

No wahala!

Wasn’t expecting anything different from you because you believe everything must go your way.
Did LP/Obi pay the statutory fee to get those documents?
If you need a transcript from a school you graduated from, are you not going to pay some charges?
Let’s be sincere irrespective of the political divide we belong to.

richmond500:
oh, I thought it was part of the case

It wasn’t.

richmond500:
This tribunal case big Sha o.

I do not see anything to nail Tinubu down with but that dual citizenship is a big issue, as long as he voluntarily acquired that citizenship, then he has sworn an allegiance to that country and by our constitution, he is not fit to run for political position like the presidency.
But then again the citizenship has expired.

This should be the biggest tribunal, Wike should brace up

Unfortunately for Obi, the dual citizenship is not among his prayers in the petition.

xangerar:
That is not what this means. He is asking for a period of seven weeks within which he could put in his witnesses into the witness box and have them give evidence in chief, get cross examined and then be re examined where neccessary. That's what this is about. It is called hearing or trial dates.

But we all know that 7 weeks to present witnesses in a case that is time bound is going to be hard.

Tinubuagbado:
You're nor Peter Obis supporter, why are you angry? In short your tribe hates his tribe.

Don't Worry, those mandate thieves will surely vomit it.

You see how shallow you think. You guys are always the first to go the ethnicity way and when you’re given in double you will be crying.
What has my ethnicity and Obi’s got to do with my comment.

I hope this is a joke, election held almost 8 weeks ago and you still want to plead for another 7 weeks to gather witnesses?
Obi should be serious for once.... Your supporters were saying the case can be done with in 2 weeks I laugh...

Newton2024:
As a drug baron surpporter, you are free to thought any thought. The joke is on you and your fellow Agbadorians.

And as a shameless Obidient that you’re, you may not know when questions are meant to be ask.

I thought Abure and Obi said there was nothing like an order restraining Abure to act as LP. If they’re saying the truth then why ask for stay of execution. Does that mean that they’ve been lying all this while?

trulymatters:
Omo! Thanks for the clarification

You’re welcome

trulymatters:
How can a court in Kano have jurisdiction over Abia state. Na wa o

If it is a Federal high court then it has jurisdiction over the matter.

LP/Obidients don’t want Tinubu to become the president until the petition is done with. Same LP/Obidients are now saying Otti must be swear in irrespective of the judgement because there’s room for appeal.
What else do we need to see you people’s double standards.

gidgiddy:
If you need secession clause to allow someone you dont like to go their way, then you are a unity beggar, plain and simple

BTW, everyone is suffering, Nigeria has long failed

Then what are you and your kinsmen waiting for if you truly want to separate from the country? Start the same way your grand fathers did in 1967 and let’s see the outcome.

gidgiddy:
The same people who complain about Igbos are the same who are ready to fight war at the mention of Biafra

Thats how you know they have mental problem for only a crazy person wants to be in the same country, fighting forever, with the people he detests

When your bigot leaders in the persons of Ironsi, Azikiwe and co were in power they refused the advise of adding secession clause in the constitution because the easterners are the ones benefiting from the one Nigeria and they think it will be like that for life. Now you the offspring’s are suffering it.

saintokwuluora:
Lamido Apapa got 300 as Lp senatorial candidate in 2019 but got 18000 in 2023. Obi effect that is my point.

You said Labour Party worth 300.

saintokwuluora:
It's not how long but how well. His 21 years in Lp was worth 300 votes till Obi's 9 months and the agbaya got 18000 votes. He is very ungrateful to Obi and history has thrown him into the waste bin.

Same LP won Governorship election in Ondo state during the PDP result writing period.
Omo Agege won a senatorial seat in delta 2015 during the GEJ tenure.
LP won some seats in the house of reps in the past.
LP won some state assembly seats in nasarawa I think 2011-2015.
Little research will help you from misleading the public.

NothingDoMe:
Lol. So basically, INEC is asking for bribe to provide documents. INEC forgot that we nor dey give shishsi.

They better provide the documents and stop being stupid.

There are some documents you need to pay for, and I don’t see where LP/Obi’s lawyer call it bribe.

So LP don’t want to pay the required fee to get some documents crucial to their petition? I believe INEC on this because LP/Obi’s lawyers didn’t object INEC’s claim in court and that shows how serious the petitioners are.

Hhansome:


I have lost hope in this current abracadabra called Inec.

I guess you didn’t read where it says LP didn’t pay the required fee to get some documents

Sonyboom:
But you know everything ba ?!

Don’t stress yourself that’s how they react when they don’t have any excuse to give themselves hope.

RecentHistory:
This is not true. Ohaneze cannot be this stupid.

That means you don’t know how some of them reason.

These people are not serious at all from Interim government to the court should make Lawan Acting President.. What will happen after June 12 when Lawan's tenure will end as SP?
Their agenda is coming out gradually but unfortunately it is too late...Bunch of jokers

And this guy owns a University hope he did not have a law faculty. The Constitution explained what will happen after the election and all parties are following the constitution to the letter.

BlackAdams007:
Yes it should cause Abuja is a special constitutional status and i don't know why it is not a state.🤷

Abuja not declared as a state is to avoid clash of powers. Imagine a place where we have 2 federal legislative houses and the Presidency in a state and also have a state house of assembly and an elected governor, there will be issues.
Abuja has its own commands of all security apparatus like other 36 states.
House of reps members and a Senator from the fct. Area councils, federal university and other things states are entitled to constitutionally.
The minister of FCT acts as the Governor.
