1. There will be no rerun because rerun in the constitution has certain terms none of which can be fulfilled now. Time has passed for any rerun.

2. OBI didn't prove he won the election. Obi noted discrepancies in some polling units but no evidence that Obi won.

3. Disqualification of Tinubu. The forfeiture on Tinubu’s account did not indict Tinubu as a person. US law considers the account separate from the individual. Just as UK laws considers the company different to the owner of the company. The company can become bankrupt or be sued and the owner is innocent. Besides all these happened over 10 years ago....Nigeria constitution allows a candidate to run for office even if they have been convicted provided it is more than 10 years before the contest. So no case.

4. Chicago State University. Atiku never brought this up at the PEPT. This is an afterthought by PDP. And so far they are still hunting for evidence. CSU is not playing ball....Best thing for Atiku is hope some evidence come up when he appeals PEPT at the Supreme Court.

Overall Tinubu will win at the PEPT

Note that submission of evidence to Nigerian Court is time barred.

Nobody can predict where the pendulum will go. The candidates must have faith in the court.

Bros, u can easily Google or google map to confirm.

Google does not take me to Abuja from Lagos, cars do. Google map shows via sagamu/benin highway to confirm 768.5km. You are right sir but you don't have to go through benin to travel to Abuja.

EyeCumInPiece:
The numerous controversies around Tinubu, is what is giving the country bad name.
If Osinbajo was Presdo, would there be anything like bad name?

It is bad belle. How can Osibanjo who is not popular in his party be the President? Was he not part of 8 years of Buhari government and chairman of economic council without any solution to the myriad of economic problems facing the nation? Democracy does not work with emotions. Speaking grammar and managing state economy are not related.

Let dog eat dog. Karma at work.

NLC using Nigerian civil servants to blackmail the federal government since 120AD

This strike is part of Elupee 74 to promote eyes on judiciary while awaiting presidential tribunal judgement. Imagine going on strike over Wike's/FCT threats to demolish illegal construction. Is it today FCTA embark on demolition.

tuoyoojo:
Abeg make una help me break down this tori...them say them wan build road when so free so tay na 4 hours e go take to travel for lagos to abuja.....at what speed abeg


By the way, it's about 700km from abuja to lagos

The car would be doing about 175km/h be that o


Umahi, abeg talk another thing

Travel time by road from Lagos to kano (private car- 1,000km) use to take 10 hours. And Abuja to lagos is not up to 700km.

NLC = ELUPEE
Eyes on judiciary

But that is the Word from scripture. Only the so called Christians who don't know where they belong rein curses on their country, leaders and rulers. Jeremiah 29:7; 1 Timothy 2: 1-2.

Hypothesis theorem.

Ashez:
Everyone knows that naaa
But unfortunately, it is too late anyway, cos labour party is more organized than they can imagine, and for the records Tinubu will soon be disgraced internationally, is just a matter of days before it unfolds

Let us call for picketing of APC and if it doesn't work we organise an indefinite strike against APC.

Agbado!

Dunce with empty skull

Isokotolopia:
never seen a nigerian politician with so many inconsistencies

Designed and promoted by opponents for mischief.

Bigkoko:
With the information at my disposal. Reno omokri was fired by AA last year during AA abysmal outing in the US.... The coward tried to blame Osita Chidoka for the failure leading both to almost have a fist cuff.

Long story short. Reno was fired and his stipends stopped. That's why the idiot has ported to team Agbado!

Good news for AA. Since the likes of Reno was shown out, his legal team have started doing something commendable and it appears, there exist some hope for his aso Rock quest if Nigeria judiciary in their usual abracadabra disqualified Asiwaju and asked the second placed candidate to be sworn in!
Get the gist now?

Good news for you. There is nothing like abracadabra justice. It has to do with your perception of our institutions generally. You need deliverance like so many of your type who believe that a court can only be good if a judgement favours their candidate. If the SANS who represent both sides in a matter before a court accept the outcome of a case, why should we continue to lament unnecessarily?
Convince me please how the judgement in a US court that is
not available before the tribunal for consideration can affect election matters in a Nigerian Court.

Apapa is too soft as a party chairman. How can Obi who joined Elupee like Nicodemous be recognised as a leader. Obi does not have the quality of a good leader that is why he is taking side with a faction instead of playing a reconciliatory role.

LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ABOUT THE RECENT HAPPENINGS IN LABOUR PARTY

So many discussions are being held about the happenings in Labour Party. Unfortunately, some have been deceived with propaganda and they believe those false narratives. I'm here to clear the air and set the record straight.

Anyone claiming that there is a parallel judgment of the court of appeal on chairmanship has been misled. The appeal court didn't rule against itself. The judgment from appeal court in Edo is very different from the judgment of appeal court in Owerri sitting in Abuja.

For the avoidance of doubt, Abure and his people should provide the CTC of the Edo appeal court judgement to the public. At best, Edo appeal court judgement only reversed the suspension of Abure by his ward excos who earlier suspended him from the party as a member based on his anti party activities in the state.

Edo matter has absolutely nothing to do with chairmanship. The restraining order by the FCT High Court on Abure stands till today, and that's the court order that incapacitated Abure and 3 others and withdrew their powers to act as party executives.

It's on record that the FCT High Court restrained Abure and 3 other members of NWC on the 6th of April 2023, following a criminal indictment against them bothering on forgery, perjury, criminal conspiracy and financial malfeasance. This restraining order has not been vacated till today.

The court of appeal in Owerri, sitting in Abuja heard the case of one of the aspirants, Basil Maduka, who filed a suit against LP, INEC and Ukaegbu, asking the court not to recognize Ukaegbu as the candidate, and recognize him instead.

The court then looked into the matter of the different primaries held in Imo and discovered that the primary that produced Ukaegbu is the only authentic primary, based on the fact that Alh. Lamidi Apapa emerged legally as the Acting National Chairman of the party by the resolution of a quorum of the NWC following the restraining order of FCT High Court on Abure, his Secretary, Organizing Secretary and Treasurer.

The party can't function properly before the law without leadership. All the official activities of Abure and co from the date they were restrained is in contempt of court and hold no water. The primary they held which produced Sen. Athan Achonu is a nullity before the law because the restraining order against them has withdrawn their right to conduct or participate in party activities.

Though they lived in the illusion of this obvious fact for a while because Mr. Peter Obi stood with them as it appeared as though they were being persecuted by the ruling party APC (which is a mere speculation and political propaganda). Mr. Peter Obi, acknowledging Abure and co to be party executives despite the restraining order in itself is also in contempt of court, and cannot vacate the restraining order.

Mr. Peter Obi, with due respect to him, does not have the powers to reject the leadership of Alh. Lamidi Apapa in Labour Party, neither does he have the power to determine who is or who is not the authentic candidate of the party in any state. No amount of propaganda, speculation, emotional blackmail or sentiment can change the facts of law in this matter.

The recent flag off of Sen. Athan Achonu in Owerri which was conducted by the restrained Abure and graced by Mr. Peter Obi and the Executive Governor of Abia State, Sir. Alex Otti is equally in contempt of court. Sen. Athan has been sacked by the court. His name that was published by INEC was done in error and the courts in their landmark judgments have properly guided INEC to correct that error by acknowledging Alh. Lamidi Apapa and publishing the names of the candidates who emerged from his primary elections in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa.

Sen. Athan Achonu had earlier sought to join the case filed by Mr. Basil Maduka, but the appeal court struck out his motion for joinder for lacking merit. Obviously, the case has nothing to do with him as an aspirant because the matter is about which primary is the authentic primary and which party leadership has the right to conduct primaries as at the time primaries held. Sen. Athan was a mere victim of an illegal primary and not even a party to the case.

Recall that Alh. Lamidi Apapa is the oldest serving member of the party's NWC who was once a state chairman, zonal vice chairman and was elected the Deputy National Chairman in the last convention of the party held in Akwanga 2019. The same convention produced Abure as the National Secretary and produced Late A.A Salam as the National Chairman of the party.

When A.A. Salam died, Alh. Lamidi Apapa was meant to assume leadership being the next in party hierarchy, but Abure conspired against him with some NWC members, outsmarted him, and wangled his way into the chairmanship position in total defilement of the party constitution.

Alh. Lamidi Apapa allowed the injustice for peace to reign. Now, Abure committed a crime in connivance with some NWC members, and 4 of them were restrained by the court from parading themselves as national executives. The other NWC members who were not affected by the restraining order met and ratified that Alh. Apapa, being the next in party hierarchy is mandated by the party constitution to assume leadership of the party in acting capacity.

INEC was properly notified and all the necessary legal processes were followed. Just before the primaries in Imo State, Alh. Apapa then notified INEC of Labour Party's change of venue and date for primaries. The primary was earlier fixed by restrained Abure and co to be held on the 15th of April at Landmark Event Centre. Alh. Apapa who has assumed leadership changed the venue of the primary to Art Novous Event Centre and changed the date to 16th of April.

Unknown to the numerous aspirants who never knew the truth in the party because most of them joined Labour Party newly in the wave of the Obidient movement, and they knew only Abure and co. They went ahead to submit themselves to the screening exercise and primary election conducted by restrained officers of the party. Unfortunately, they were all victims of Abure's illegality.

It's on record that Chief Joseph Ikechukwu Ukaegbu is the only original Labour Party member among the governorship aspirants in Imo State. He knows everything that happened in Labour Party, having been a financial member of the party for almost 15yrs. Also, being a law abiding citizen of Nigeria, he boycotted the screening exercise and primary election of restrained Abure and co, knowing full well it will eventually amount to nullity as affirmed by the honourable courts today.

Chief Joseph Ikechukwu Ukaegbu submitted himself to the screening exercise and primary election of the authentic leadership of the party with one other aspirant and emerged the winner of the primary. Some said Chief Ukaegbu was lucky, but I say he has the grace of God upon his life. It's on record Chief Ukaegbu was the Imo State Labour Party governorship candidate in 2019. He has also emerged as the candidate in 2023.

I had to take my time to set this record straight for the sake of those who are not aware of the truth of this matter. Please, stop listening to propaganda from Abure's camp. They have been restrained by the court and the restraining order has not been vacated till today. In fact, Abure and co have a very serious criminal case to answer. I advise they go to police and court to exonerate themselves instead of using the ill-gotten money they collected through illegal substitution of candidates to destabilize the party.

Labour Party must move forward at this point without any distraction.

Thanks.

Thank you for the clarification. It is a matter of respect for rule of law not sentiments and emotions.

HRMK:
ATIKU IS AFTER A WILD GOOSE CHASE OUT OF DESPERATION TO DISQUALIFY TINUBU!
HE KNOWS HIS CASE AGAINST THE LATER AT THE TRIBUNAL HOLDS NO WATER!!

It is more than that. Their act is to ridicule and blackmail the president and this is how we demarket Nigeria in the international community.

Exchange difference shared? This is strange to me. It makes me doubt the competence of the accountants responsible for this exercise. The international accounting standards does not state that forex difference should be shared. Rather, I think government should have done well to create a reserve to accommodate the volatility of the dollar against naira

Deemas:
The same thief that has been shouting 37 states is the one sharing the money, so it's no surprise if he considers FCT in the same way he has been shouting.

Meanwhile, a ward in Kwara State got 5kg of rice as palliative, you people are really confusionists

Some of you think savings from subsidy must make rice flow in every home as if that is all that matters in Nigeria.

Grow what we eat. We insulted the man. Do we grow wheat in Nigeria? No. Can we grow it here? Yes. Wheat price is internationally determined and affected by Russia- Ukraine war. As long as we are import dependent, we must pay more for bread.

Kwankwaso was once a defence minister. Was he a former General? Narrow minded comments

It is for mischief. Local champions everywhere.

stanluiz:
The FCT Minister is like a deputy governor.

The governor is the president.

People should stop bad mouthing everything out of mischief. FCTA is more like a state with separate budget appropriated by the national assembly.

Name one country that allows you to withdraw naira from its bank. Not only this. Federal government MDAs should stop collecting revenues in foreign currency.

Okiemute101:
Welllll

Those calling for coup (if true) were in the nursery class when the last military regime was in power. We should not blame their ignorance of what such rule represents. They are just learning to talk.

princeade86:
u can imagine the nonsense u are defending..... Many of u guys no get heart again. So i graduated from Chicago, i entered politics, highest position in the country, and they trying to reach out to confirm maybe i truly graduated or not, and the next thing i do is to be wasting money to higher SANs do stop them from confirmation of my real graduate.... Is that a wise ideal? I will even write the school by myself to give them access to all the details they needed in as much am on the truth side.

At least Tinubu will not type "higher SANs" instead of "hire SAN". Neither will he type "ideal" instead of "idea". Blackmailers and busybodies everywhere. Spit....

Ikaeniyan0:
They have a valid reason not to confirm him as a minister, if only they can stand their ground.

The senators wanted to hijack the program and he resisted them. What is valid there. Let them resign from law making if they want to work with the executive. Bunch of usurpers.

GO0DHardDick:
Damn!

In a sane society, fashola and the entire APC miscreants would have been executed by firing squad by now. Is this not the same fashola that said "a serious govt will fix electricity in 6 months" ? The werey has been in govt ever since and couldn't do anything. Na the foolish drug lord I blame. I hope president Peter obi is taking note of the people that would be thrown in jail. The election tribunal should hurry up and do the needful

A sane country has respect for human lives and rule of law. No wonder you want someone who did not fulfill the requirements of the laws of the land to be declared as president. You actually belong to the animal kingdom.

Grit2943:
Ganduje plays politics in a dirty way daily.
Really saddening.

Vindictive? But he built on his predecessor's achievements. He didn't destroy laudable projects that will benefit Kano citizens like we are witnessing in the current government.

Racoon:
The APC just set another bad example - making a dollar thieve like Gandollar its chairman.

By which court of the land?

jumper524:
Only Obidients would make this disrespectful statement. PDP and APC would never disrespect the indegenes of any state.
Sane thing you did in lagos.
Rubbish

Don't mind the author of that post. Let them prove their strengths with the next area council elections and see how aggressive the indigenes are to control their territory.

Finestgurlie:
at this point if I'm Tinubu I'll eagerly want for a rerun where I'll perfectly plan my rigging neatly.

because if not, he'll spend 8 years trying to make himself a legitimate ruler because many Nigerians and outsiders don't even regard him as a democratic ruler.

But you are not Tinubu.
Some of you will develop hbp, some will commit suicide when the supreme Court finally nail your man and womanhood with hammer.
