PMB and APC leaders will soon realised that Saraki was a stabilizing factor in the last National Assembly. If not for his political maturity, this would have been messy and difficult for our democracy. Will the incoming leaders exhibits such political sagacity? Time will tell.....

Why is this man allowing sentiments to ruin his once illustrious Legal career? I am not a lawyer, but I am aware of the fact that JUSTICE is based on the merits of the facts presented before the court and our constitution.If this statement actually came from Shaggy, then he is a monumental disgrace to the legal profession!
Is shaggy now questioning the integrity of the acting CJN who he ferociously supported some few months ago? Why is the so called majority in Zamfara and Rivers not protesting?

[quote author= post=78725405]We have never had a 1st lady (now known as the wife of the president) in the history of this nation like our darling mother of the nation Mrs Aisha Buhari.

A woman of virtue who says the plain truth all the time, without being partial.
This woman is a role model as long as she lives and hundred of years after her demise.
This is the epitome of what a first lady should be, not like the previous first lady in the last dispensation, that even not with a monthly salary became a multi-billionaire under 6 years, even richer than her ineffectual buffon (name courtesy, Guardian International) of a hubby, aka, ogogoro master!
And up till now still fighting the federal government that she is not going to return billions of dollars found hidden under the names/account of her house helps and cronies.
What effrontery!

God bless Mrs Aisha Buhari, the most educated, most beautiful and the most trust worthy FIRST LADY in the history of Nigeria and Africa at large.
With a woman like this beside our President, the country's future is assure.....so assure!
God bless Nigeria.

Can someone reasonable reply this tin on behalf of our Mother of the nation please?!
We don't have time to waste on this one.
Better things to do......[/quote]I admire our First Lady because she is not afraid to say the truth even if it means criticizing her husband's government. It is rather sad that some diehard followers of Buhari will always shy away from speaking the truth about some of the shortcomings of Buhari. It is not everybody that attacks Buhari that is PDP . Buhari needs to put his acts together in his second terms and let the common people feel the impact of his programs if not there will be revolution from the north against him.

The Americans dare not invade Iran or their experience in Iraq and Afghanistan Will be child's play compared. After isreal Iran posesses the second most powerful military in the middle East. All this back and forth is nothing more than saber rattling by the Trump administration

You are obviously ignorant of the military might and politics of the middle east. Iran no doubt is a powerful country military, but there are other Arabs countries like Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Egypt who will are sworn enemies of Iran. Israel had in the past unilaterally carried out major bombardment of military facilities in Iran and Iran was even afraid of retaliation. Iran knows better than to confront America. America and Israel have been looking for excuse to deal with Iran once and for all and Iran will not give them that excuse. Iran economy is being frustrated by UN sanctions and America has been the arrow head of enforcing this sanction. Russia and China had not been able to assist Iran out these sanctions.
There is this fear in the international circle that America will not hesitate to use nuclear weapon on Iran if it's interest is substantially threatened

The fact is that Governors will start imposing their puppets as Local Government Chairman unless the constitution is reviewed to grant full autonomy to Local Governments.

Mark my words: The greatest opposition to APC government will come from the north. The fact is that the extremely poor almajiris in the north are at their wit end and are dangerously desperate for survival.

The euphoria of sai baba is over and hunger is resetting their brains. The government needs to be proactive and tackle the extreme poverty in the land for very soon the rich will not be able to sleep because the poor are awake because of hunger which may evolves to anger against the rich.

How will the babies be breast feed by one woman? God is wonderful!

Akpabio just used PMB, Oshimole and APC to get EFCC off his back. But some Zombies also fall mugu thinking Akpabio will deliver Akwa Ibom to APC.

Why some uninformed people are busy mocking Atiku, PMB and his team are quite aware that they have a dicey case on their hands and the Judiciary even Tanko cannot be predicted. As it is now, the faith of Atiku and PMB will be determined by the majority ruling of the judiciary.
If the judiciary sees merit in Atiku petition, they may ask for rerun or declare him winner. Nigeria will not burn. Not even now that PMB is fast loosing his cultlike fellowship.

Let put sentiment apart and look at the case of Onnoghen holistically. What are the facts on ground?

1. The presidency was never comfortable with his emergence as CJN. The president refused to confirm his appointment. It was Osibanjo that sent Onnoghen name to the Senate when PMB was out of the country.

2. It was this same Onnoghen against all odds that gave PMB favourable ruling in one of the election Tribunals.

3. The media propaganda that Onneghen has Millions of dollars and several houses was proved to be false even at the CCT. Information available indicates that the total money that Onnoghen will forfeit to the FGN according to the CCT judgement is less than N50 Million.

4. The FGN hurriedly acted on a petition against the CJN at a record speed and suspended the CJN without first passing through the NJC as required by the constitution. It is of interest that the appeal court had ruled on two other cases concerning two other judges of the supreme court that only NJC had the jurisdiction to first investigate judicial officials.

5. It is of interest that Onnoghen eventually declared these accounts in subsequent asset declaration.

My take:

1. The Executive did not followed laid down constitutional process in the prosecution of the Onnoghen as he was a serving judicial officer as at the time he was accused of non declaration of asset.

2. Onnoghen should have saved the Judiciary this harassment by resigning on moral ground having admitted in writing that he forgot to declare his asset in 2009. The pattern of deposits into Onnoghen's account is questionable and unexpected from CJN

3. After Onnoghen, resignation, prominent SANs and Judicial Officers will then approach the appeal court and supreme court to get interpretations on the role played by the CCT and the executive.

B1ak3:
When this whole issue started this man should have just resigned and gone to relax with billions. But he was deceived by the same people who put him trouble in the first place.

All the people that were beating battle drums for him and he thought they were going to save him have all gone quiet. One was destroyed in his state (Saraki), another is busy shouting my mandate my mandate every day. Another is hiding abroad and disturbing us on twitter day and night (Reno). Another is a cocaine addict (ffk). Another is now a p0rnstar (oga kanu). The rest are chest beaters and online e-rats.

The appeal is dead on arrival. His name is just going to be dragged through the mud again like that of a common criminal

You are blinded by sentiment. Every Nigerians have the right to pursue legal cases up to the supreme court.
When Saraki appealed his case , people like you where mocking him, but he eventually won at the supreme court. I am not saying that the CJN is a saint but the executive did not follow due process in his removal and to make matter worst the CCT violated known legal principle.
To me, his appeal is a great and courageous act that will save our judiciary from executive assaults. Keep this post for record.The CJN will win at the supreme court.

netpro:
The whistle-blower's figures cannot be tendered in court without the Court knowing his identity - if not anyone can falsify figures and claim he got it from a whistle-blower.

Also if the Whistle-blower was not originally an authorized INEC personnel cleared to have access to such information, then he is liable to prosecution and his figures to the court on behalf of Atiku will not also stand as he is not in a position to provide reliable details on the matter.

And don't miss the main point, information on any INEC's computer does not supersede the results announced by INEC. Atiku may have stand a realistic chance if he tendering evidence on results from the Polling Units and Collation Centres. But the guy is forming a Hacker and Server Engineer. Who that one help?

Before you start masturbating on this issue, what if the Whistle blower is an INEC IT staff that is ready to testify? Though it will be difficult for Atiku to upturn the result of 2019 presidential election, the fact is that PMB and his legal team may be having sleepless nights on the possible array of evidences of infractions that Atiku legal team may bring before the judicial panel.
The fact that the Supreme Court judges may swing their majority judgement either ways based on evidences presented to them is unsettling to INEC and APC.

Even the prosecution team and CCT are confused on how to go about this obvious rape of justice and the judiciary!

They will soon come for Jega! You will start hearing story of how he stole billions while he was in INEC
.

It is sad that the FGN is ignoring the root cause of this upsurge in Kidnapping and insecurity. The real cause is the fact that there is desperate poverty in the land and people are seeing the insincerity of the government in fighting corruption.

Even decent and honest people are being frustrated by the system. If the government fails to act fast in making the system work for hardworking and honest people to thrive.....I can see chaos and anarchy looming. It doesn't matter whether you are from the north or south, hunger is no respecter of any party or tribe......Elections are over, and Nigerians eyes are now opened. Most of the protests these days are coming from the north!

The fact is that Onoghen is not interested in any soft landing. He refused to resign. He has resolved to continue his case in the court to a logical conclusion. It seems the NJC and the Federal Government are no longer comfortable with having Onoghen in the dock......let see how it will pawns out.

15LGA'S Taken today the remaining are scheduled for. Tomorrow by10am

Why are they postponing it to tommorrow? I can smell fish! Hope INEC is not planning to truncate this collation?

JoanHicks:
Andony LGA

AAC. 5,335

PDP. 92,056




Registered voters 124,316

Accredited voters 102,959



Wahala dey

I dey suspect this local government oooooo.......Over 70% turnout with no cancellations?

kingsjeroneyah:
Surely, the result have been tempered with. Before the suspension, below is as announce at the LGA. Check the figure its almost the same. But compare the new ikwerre with the one announce at the LGA then. From 96k to less than 10k.

That was the dummy Amaechi and his cronies sold to you. Even if APC was on the ballot paper, they will still loose by high margin. What you guys failed to realise is that the people of Rivers has identified Amaechi as the enemy of the state. Amaechi is a liability to APC. I am sure Oshimole and PMB are now aware of the fact that Amaechi cannot even win his ward in a free and fair election.

It beats my imagination how some people even think that AAC or even APC can win River State. The fact is that Wike is a DON loved by the people of river state. He is a fearless grass -root politician who is ready to match even federal might.

Politics and sentiment has turned some people to slowpokes!

The AAC Presidential candidate himself will soon decamped to PDP. It is becoming glaring to them that Amaechi just want to use them to destabilized Rivers and they know there will be grave repercussion from the people of river

I honestly don't trust Falana again. He may be doing this with the ulterior motive of striking a deal with the oil well owners.

SantiRAMBO:
This one that has APC blood running in his veins.. Hell still decamp to APC, it is just a matter of time.

He is interested in contesting for the presidency in 2023. The only sure way is for him to remain in PDP.

garfield1:
How do you argue it in court? With what evidences assuming they were no multiple thumbptinting or result sheet alterations

Because the small number of accredited voters in supplimentry election, it is easier to detect rigging and irregularities and the election tribunal may have no choice than to nullified the rigged election.

The politicians from the North may not have the oratory skills of pastor Osibanjo or the sagacity of Tinubu, but they are master strategists when it comes to politics.
While politicians from other regions are loudly busy scrambling for immediate gratifications and relevance, the politicians from the north are quietly regrouping to secure the presidency in 2023. I may be wrong, but find below what I think is their strategy for 2023.

THE STRATEGY

1) Reduce the political power of Tinubu in the southwest by tactfully supporting PDP to take over states like Osun, Ondo and Oyo.

2) Support PDP to take over some states in the North.(PDP is already on ground in South East and South South)

3) Jettisoned zoning arrangement in APC and by that time Tinubu and other prominent politicians will not have the political block to prevent northern presidential candidates. I can foresee Tinubu having turbulence times ahead and he may pull out of the APC alliance but he will no longer have the Southwest crowd.

4) There will be efforts to maintain peace in the north and return to the days of one north.

5) PDP will present a northern presidential candidate. The north is politically enlightened. Even those who are presently cursing PDP on nairaland will start singing a new tone when PDP field a presidential candidate from the north against a fragmented APC.

The North is regrouping for 2023.

descoay:
Oyetola might triumph at last. Dakuku Peterside and Mama Taraba both won at the Election petition tribunal and at the appeal court but both lost out at the Supreme court.Today's judgement was not unanimous . The tribunal chairman gave a judgement in favour of Oyetola while the two other judges favoured Adeleke. The case might be upturned by the court of appeal or the supreme court. This is Nigeria, so it is not yet total victory for the Adeleke's until after the supreme court judgement.

This one will be very difficult. Even PMB and his handlers will prefer to sacrifice Osun State. The daylight robbery in Osun was embarrassingly so glaring to the whole world. Allowing the charade supplimentry election in Osun to stand will send a negative signal to the whole world about PMB's acclaimed integrity!

lionshare:
What basis will you advise him to resign?

Nigeria is not worth dying for. If not for the fact that by God grace, I am a little bit comfortable and have some commitments, I would have left this country. This country don't value hard-work and honesty. The mentality of our youths and zombies is also frustrating. They are not ready to work hard to earn a leaving. To get good and dedicated employees is very hard.

The government found it easier to Lord it over Nigerians because there are a lot of Zombies who will also lick the asses of those in government without thinking!

The plan was to bullied the CJN into resignation by intimidation and media trials. But they were shocked when the CJN refused to resign and eventually opted to enter the dock.

Even if the CJN eventually resign which I will advice him to do immediately after the trial, he has succeeded in clearing his name and showing to the whole world that the FGN did not act in utmost good faith in his prosecution.

The ZOmbies that swallowed the propaganda hook and sinker without thinking should bow their heads in shame! This was a man against all odds that fearlessly gave PMB a favorable judicial opinion at the 2007 election tribunal.

The real fear of APC is that they are afraid of such a fearless CJN!

When the CJN insisted that he will not resign and that he will enter the dock to defend himself, I knew that he will eventually embarrassed EFCC and the presidency!

APC will eventually shot itself in the foot by thier despration for Rivers, Bauchi and Kano. INEC knew what they did during the presidential election.
They caught the elections observers and a section of the international community unaware with the infractions during the presidential election.

The international observers having discovered that they were hoodwinked by INEC during the presidential elections beamed their search light on INEC and the security operatives during the governorship election.

That is why INEC is desperate to at least show some level of impartiality in Bauchi, Rivers and Kano.

Tinubu and some desperate politicians will mislead the president into making mockery and truncating our democracy. If the president is wise, he should allow INEC to do their damage control.
