The Ultimate veto power only guarantees him the power to solely nominate all the 5 Housemates for possible eviction tomorrow.

Still confused.
Some said, normal nomination would take place and he would now add five more to them. How true is that ?

You had Ambode, but because of moin moin and akara politics, you lost him and brought back Tinubu, sorry I meant Sonwolu

Which Ambode are you talking about? Abeg carry your biased analysis comot for here.

3.38 pm: “Card reader machine has not replaced the voter register. A petitioner must rely on the card reader to prove non-accreditation or overvoting,” says tribunal.

The tribunal rules that the evidence and report of PW59, witness 59 of the petitioners, cannot be relied on that there was indeed INEC server or servers, as the case may be, into which the results of the presidential election were transmitted.

3.36 pm: It is clear that the results were collated manually -Justice Garba



“The evidence of the five witnesses who claimed that the results were transmitted electronically has no bearing on the requirement of proof expected of the petitioners. It is like a drop in the ocean.

“Electronic voting or transmission of results have no statutory backing. The mode of voting and collation of results have not changed from being manual since 2015,” says tribunal.

Justice Garba recalls the 2015 judgments of the Supreme Court which held that card readers were only recognised for use to authenticate the owner of the voter card.

2.53 pm: Justice Mohammed Garba of the presidential tribunal says, “The onus rests squarely on the petitioners to prove their assertion that the 2nd respondent does not possess the educational qualification to contest the election or that he submitted false information which is fundamental in nature to aid his qualification. This I have mentioned that the petitioners failed to prove. The petitioners cannot, therefore, rely on any failure in the case.”

2.58 pm: Justice Garba says, “I have no doubt in my mind that the petitioners have failed to prove that the second respondent does not possess the qualification to contest the election into the office of the President as stipulated in section 131, 137, 138 of the Constitution. I am also of the firm view that the petitioners have failed to prove that the second respondent submitted false information which is fundamental in nature to aid his qualification to contest the election into the Office of the President as prescribed in section 35(1) of the Evidence Act, 2011.”

“I come to the conclusion and I resolve issues 1 and 2 against the petitioners,” he states.

3.00 pm: The tribunal considers Issue 3, which is whether or not Buhari was elected by a majority of lawful votes cast on February 23, 2019 election.

2.37 pm: Buhari is not only qualified but eminently qualified to contest the presidential election, says Tribunal.

Buhari would have been qualified by mere showing that he had primary school education. The tribunal says the courses attended by Buhari are higher than secondary school education. Exhibits 21 and 24 tendered by the petitioners showed that Buhari had WASC.

The petitioners have failed to discharge the burden of proof of the allegation of non-qualification or submission of false information which is fundamental in the aid of the 2nd respondent’s qualification, the tribunal declares.

2. 16 pm: Tribunal says it is established that a candidate is not required under the Electoral Act to attach his certificate to his Form CF001 before a candidate is adjudged to have the requisite qualification to contest the election.



Citing a previous Supreme Court judgment, the tribunal says, “Submission of educational certificate is not a requirement for qualification to contest election for governor under section 177 Constitution.”

2.21 pm: Tribunal notes that Buhari’s witnesses confirmed that Buhari had secondary school education.

“In effect, the 2nd defendant went through secondary education and then proceeded to military school. The military school is higher than secondary education,” says the tribunal.

The tribunal to resolve Issues 1 and 2 now. Issue 1 dwells on whether Buhari possessed the requisite educational qualification to contest the February 23 presidential election.

The second issue is whether Buhari gave false information (about his educational certificate) in an affidavit submitted to INEC which was fundamental in nature to aid his qualification to contest the election.

Both issues are to be resolved together by the tribunal.

The tribunal adopts the issues as raised by the petitioners. The tribunal is to deal with the issues in the order as raised by the petitioners’ lead counsel, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN).

INEC raised four issues for determination, Buhari three, APC raised six issues while the petitioners (Atiku, PDP) raised five issues.

so, it hasn't been thrown out ?

PDP made a huge mistake of not petitioning the security agents in their application. That would have been a good point for them. As it is, Buhari is going to be the winner cos there's nothing else PDP is bringing to the table as all arguments have been thrown out

Buhari's Perjury case is still there

Jchi9876:
Talking about the highest number of votes now and perjury

More concerned with the perjury

pikaelite:

Yes bro...
Why has he been travelling up and down.. I don't think he has stayed in Nigeria for a complete month

So, the court of law should throw his case out because of that ?

Iamgrey5:
Buhari certificate stands

Atiku legitimacy stands

Have they reached there ?

pikaelite:
-Buhari fake certificate...
-Buhari illness...
Is all these things not enough to remove him... What are they sitting and debating about again... And some people will still collect money for sitting and sleeping like dat o..

Buhari"s illness ?
Are you for real ?

But how come i missed that part ?

Jchi9876:
They will strike out Wole' s assertion that Atiku is from cameroun

I disagree but so succumb

Sure.
I'm more concerned with Buhari's certificate issue and prejury allegation. Those are the two critical issues that can make Buhari lose out

BluntBoy:


Blame Atiku, not the tribunal.

His legal team did not do their assignments well.

They did their best

11.22 am: Justice Garba also upholds another part of INEC’s motion striking out paragraphs 1 to 26 of part 2 of the petitioners’ reply to the commission’s reply to the petition.

correctguy2010:


Forget all these fake figures, majority of the votes Buhari got were from Underaged and cows

please lets be objective here. THANKS

10.53 am: The fifth of the prayers of INEC in the application is now being considered.

The tribunal dismisses the fifth prayer by INEC, saying contrary to the commission’s contention, the petitioners’ paragraphs 148 to 200 and 260 to 261 are not vague, imprecise, or nebulous, and so cannot be struck down as requested by the commission.

11.04 am: Prayer 7 and 8 in INEC’s motion succeed. The tribunal holds some named paragraphs in the petition are struck out for containing serious criminal allegations of undue interference with electoral process against individuals that are not joined as parties to the petition.

The third application is also by INEC asking the tribunal to strike out the petitioners reply to its reply to the petition.

11: 11 am: Justice Garba is to deliver the lead ruling on the application. Justice Garba upholds part of INEC’s prayers in the third application by striking out some paragraphs of the petitioners’ reply to the commission reply to the petition for violating paragraph 16 of the First Schedule to Electoral Act.

11.22 am: Justice Garba also upholds another part of INEC’s motion striking out paragraphs 1 to 26 of part 2 of the petitioners’ reply to the commission’s reply to the petition.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR GRAMMAR. THEY SHOULD DELIEVER THE JUDGEMENT AND LET'S GET THE BLEEP OUT!

correctguy2010:


Don't be deceived, Atiku actually won the election.

Issokay

Foodforthought:
This tribunal issue is a formality. Rig or no rig, there's no way the tribunal will annul PMB's victory. I think Atiku actually won, but I have no pity whatsoever for Atiku or PDP. They had 16 years to rule, and wrecked a nation as great as Nigeria. If they manage to return in 2023, they should misuse power again. Until we vote in a younger and credible leader, we are going nowhere as a nation. If PDP was good, PMB would not be in Aso Rock. Let him complete his tenure, all of us go dey alright.

Atiku didn't win the election. someone that lost his polling unit and narrowly won Adamawa. Buhari's achilles heel in this case, is his certificate and perjury allegations.
