nduchucks:
stronger, you put up a stronger explanation than most ogbanje lawyers here could muster. Buhari will not be disqualified. The judge will take such action in the public interest as his court will deem appropriate. Pure and simple.

The interest of the society at large is larger than that of GEJ, mikeansy, and other desperate supporters of GEJ's.

Thanks man. Indeed!

In fact, I am a GMB supporter. When there was the suit to consider the eligibility of GEJ, I wanted it THROWN OUT!

Why? Because I want a clear challenge between them! Only a frightened candidate will be seeking to disqualify an opponent over such a trivial matter

mikeansy:
This is what leads to break down of law and order

Who determines what is in the public interest? Nduchuks ?

How did you come to the conclusion that the public does not want Buhari disqualified?

What about the public who are asking for the rule of law to be upheld?

Fair point. but like nduchuks said, the judge will make that decision. That's why I said it's up to him to consider this CASE! he cant apply it for every other case. If you are worried about the judge making the right decision, that's where EXPERIENCE comes in.

But my larger point is, if he considers public interest is more important than disqualifying over a trivial issue (again, we assume that GMB didn't meet the SSCE requirement. . huge assumption), it would NOT be an illegal move. The LAW allows for it.

OP. . mikeansy good points you raise.

First of all, you said that APC failed to screen properly. You are assuming that GMB should be disqualified. based on??

Heresay? Rumours? YOUR judgement? No verdict has been reached yet o. So your assumption is faulty.

Bear in mind that INEC as well is responsible for ensuring that candidates meet the requirements. They had certified that already and asked whoever was aggrieved to go to court. The PDP challenged it and went to court. perfect! much better than the running around in the early days.

Now, to your point: If the court actually finds that GMB did not meet the "requirements", should he be disqualified or should there be larger considerations?

Answer: Not a simple answer! I am not a lawyer but I do remember that there is a principle in law that allows for LARGER CONSIDERATIONS/REASON/SENSE to be considered in cases like this. When you weigh the potentiality of ABSOLUTE CHAOS because someone said his docs were with the Army (when the army verified that already and later 'changed their mind') etc, you'll see that the reasons to disqualify him are SO TRIVIAL, it would be insane to risk the magnitude of chaos.

Does that mean GMB is above the law? NO!! Because the judge taking that decision would be LEGALLY JUSTIFIED! Law is very complicated o. It's not just black and white.

Now, will it set a bad precedence? Not necessarily. because these kinds of situations are often rare and are taken on a case-by-case basis. For instance, if someone is found to be an ex serial killer just before an election, no matter how popular he is or how much chaos there could be, the judge may still disqualify him, because the case of a serial killer is serious. For SSCE? Com'on! Even many Pro-GEJs won't advise that.

But, just my 2 cents. maybe an actual LAWYER in the house can help expatiate!

Cheers.

FRONT PAGE PLEASE!!

This is definitely worth seeing. . . the level of deceit! How pedestrian! Jeez! Poor photoshop too! tsk tsk

lalasticlala, biko do the needful. Our fantastic ibo brothers will be happy to see this and identify deceit for what it is!

While PDP is rejoicing over light-weight politicians defecting because of money, some serious GRASSROOT COUPS are taking place.

Kai! GEJ is a learner shaaaa. . The thing is, he has never been a good politician! truth! So, yeah, spend the money!

SAI BUHARI!!

[size=16pt]LOOOOOOOLLLLL[/size]

This is just Gani reiterating what we already knew.

How do GEJites feel now? Knowing that your god (GEJ) paid touts to try to disrupt the electoral process and even forced an old tout (Fasheun) to tamper with the electoral process.

DOn't you feel embarassed?
What is your defense?
Did you think Gani was doing it out of love for GEJ's govt?

The guy wanted the money. And Tinubu was not ready to give a tout money just for being a tout.

Gani has collected your dollar. . you be the mugu!!!

olatunji21:
Who is that Young guy always with Buhari??

That's Debola Williams! Media entrepeneur, change agent, brilliant chap!

People of integrity!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!

That was fun!

Oya drink COLD ZOBO!

[size=20pt]LAGOS FOR BUHARI! EKO O NI BAJE![/size]

Flets:
If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country. 

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investment will seize in all sectors.And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc. 

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015.

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished. 

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face


Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt . Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!

Saved2Serve:
Hear you self say poor family. If you had a governor like him as a brother you would be do proud of him. I understand the envious cry of a step brother @ fayose's self-acclaimed brother. The governor is what APC has in amaechi of APC. all of una no go cool for family naa. Face your life brother fayose UK based. Come home and wrestle power and change your country for better and stop being angry over Nigeria.

LOL. . ahn ahn why are you so angry naaa??

Oya drink small cold zobo!!!

WisdomFlakes:
LOL. You're kidding, right? And what will Jonathan get? 65%? Joke of the millennium.

Joke of the Millenium? As in, this millenium? Please please be careful!

THIS IS THE GREATEST JOKE OF ALL TIME!!!

mrmetoo1:
I still think all these analysis are being very generous to GEJ. Kaduna too close to call?? C'mon!! From their table they actually have only 5 states as close to call, they left out FCT so I'll say 6

God bless you and your future generations!!

Kaduna!! LOL. . nothing to add. I think most GEJites are still deceiving themselves about Southern kaduna votes!
They will count but the Popularity of GMB and El Rufai is sweeping away anything!

Kaduna is Solid GMB. I can bet my certificate on it!
Lagos too is GMB straight! Ehn? After Occupy Nigeria, Lagos NEVER forgave GEJ!!

kasiem:
I think this represents a better analysis than that of punch. But seriously I don't see the president loosing any of the states he won in last election. This time I see Niger and jigawa states adding to the improvements gej will make

This is exactly what Doyin Okupe and co are telling Jonathan so that he will keep sharing dollars

If they told him the truth, he will resign to fate and just go back quietly to Otuoke!

PassingShot:
The summary of this is given below:

PDP is projected to win in 13 states: Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Ondo, Benue and Taraba

APC is projected to win in 16 states: Ogun, Osun, Oyo, kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno.

The following states (eight) are too close to call: Edo, Lagos, Benue, Plateau, Ekiti, Nasarawa, Adamawa and I will add FCT in the list.

Going by this analysis, GMB will win the election on the following facts:

1. He is expected to record outright win in 16 states while GEJ should win outrightly in 13 states.

2. The states GMB is projected to win have more votes than GEJ's states.

3. Even if GEJ wins all the eight too-close-to-call states, GMB will record at least 40% of the votes there. The win margin for GEJ (assuming he wins all of them) will be very narrow because they are states that can be won by either of them.

4. With all eight toss-up states marginally won by GEJ (big assumption), his total states won will be 19 (13+6) while GMB wins in 16 states with additional 40% to 50%% in the spring states. The implication of this scenario is that GMB will record more popular votes and will have equally secured more than 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states of the federation (i.e wins in 16 states, 40%-50% in 8 states, and at least 25% in Imo, Rivers, Ondo and Taraba which are projected for GEJ's win).

Therefore, however it turns out in the too-close-to-call states, GMB will be declared the president based on more popular votes.
