Court will handle that Oponu

casualobserver:
Obi only go 25% in 15 states plus Abuja, total of 16. Let us assume he manages to get akwa ibom ( where he is close to 25%) and Rivers that we all know was massively rigged to make a total of 18, he still needs an additional 7 states. Now please look at the results posted and tell me which of these states he can manufacture 25% from. Is it jigawa, zamfara, katsina, yobe sokoto, Borneo Kano, kebbi where he got less than 2%? Or is it Osun Bauchi Ekiti, Gombe Keats ondo where he got between 3% and 9%. If not that is already 14 states out of a possible 19. Meaning there are only 5 states from which to claw the statutory 25%…and which are those states left? Niger, Oyo, Kongi, Kara, Adamawa and Ogun where he has between 10 and 15%. He is not going to get Oyo or Ogun, Kogi or Niger so where is the 25% coming from?

MT:
This is a comedy on the scale Nigeria has never witnessed before.

Obi was not voted for in the North. He came overall and distant 3rd. Yet he wanted to be sworn in as President. World Guinness Book ought to acknowledge this as the greatest joke the world has ever seen.

I feel sorry for him because he has eroded the little goodwill he had among Nigerians. Instead for him to be building bridges with other tribes, he is wasting time and energy in court.

You see why other tribes will not vote and not trust a certain tribe in power.

How did you knew Obi was not voted in north? when all results was rigged, do you have brain leakage?

Dear fellow Nigerians,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I would like to address an issue of great importance to our nation: fuel subsidy. It is no secret that fuel subsidy has been a subject of debate and controversy in our country for many years. As we discuss this matter, I urge you to approach it with an open mind and a spirit of unity, keeping in mind the greater good of our nation.

Fuel subsidy was initially introduced with the intention of making petroleum products more affordable and accessible to the Nigerian people. However, over time, it has become a burden on our economy, draining significant resources that could be allocated to other crucial sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social welfare programs.

The truth is that fuel subsidy has been susceptible to corruption, inefficiency, and mismanagement. It has created an avenue for rent-seeking and has not always translated into the benefits it was intended to provide. We need to acknowledge this reality and find a more sustainable and equitable solution.

I understand that the removal or reduction of fuel subsidy can lead to short-term challenges, particularly for the most vulnerable members of our society. Therefore, any decision regarding fuel subsidy should be accompanied by measures to mitigate its impact on those who are most affected. These measures may include targeted social welfare programs, support for public transportation, and investments in renewable energy sources.

Additionally, it is essential that the savings from reducing or eliminating fuel subsidy are reinvested wisely in critical sectors of our economy. We must prioritize diversification and invest in infrastructure, agriculture, technology, and human capital development to create opportunities and foster sustainable economic growth. This way, we can build a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for future generations.

Change is often accompanied by challenges, but it is through unity, resilience, and a shared vision that we can overcome them. Let us engage in constructive dialogue, actively participate in the democratic process, and hold our leaders accountable for their decisions and actions.

Finally, I want to emphasize that the ultimate goal should be the long-term benefit of all Nigerians. We must strive for a transparent and accountable system that ensures the efficient use of our resources and the well-being of our people.

Together, we can forge a brighter future for Nigeria. Let us embrace this opportunity to build a more sustainable, prosperous, and equitable nation.

Yours sincerely,

*PDP vs APC Supreme Court Judgement slated for May 26, 2023: Matters Arising* .


Today, it seemed as if a sledgehammer had hit the APC camp as they might have been caught napping by the PDP over a case filed at the Supreme Court which came up for hearing today.

The Supreme Court Justices would have given judgment today perhaps but they moved the judgement to Friday, May 26th.

And that day is now probably the most important day in Nigeria since the February 25th Presidential election this year.

Millions of Nigerians also were not aware of the case which came up for judgement at the Supreme Court today. The shenanigans at the Presidential Election Tribunal in the past few days were enough distractions to even imagine that a case of this magnitude was waiting at the Supreme Court.

What is the judgment to be given by the Justices of the Supreme Court , in a nutshell? It is to determine if the APC Presidential running mate, Alhaji Shettima violated Section 35 of the Electoral Act 2022 by having a double nomination, thereby voiding the joint presidential ticket.

There’s been precedence set by the Supreme Court in a similar case like this with Uche Nwosu of Imo State. The Supreme Court ruled against Nwosu and disqualified him. That precedent is what many legal experts are looking at to see if the Justices will rule against Shettima and the APC this Friday.

I have spoken to a few brilliant lawyers and their positions are that Shettima has no hope of dodging this case, with all the facts of the case on ground. A couple more lawyers I asked for a balanced opinion are undecided. They feel it can go either way, since the confidence in the Supreme Court in giving the right and expected legal judgments in the political space has been waning for a couple of years now.

If the Supreme Court rules on Friday that Shettima violated the Electoral Law, it would mean outright disqualification of him and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, since it’s a joint ticket!

If that happens on Friday, it would mean a couple of things might happen, depending on the further judgement given. It might mean that the person whom INEC declared as the second position holder in the Presidential Election would be declared the President-Elect. That would be Atiku Abubakar. If that is the case, then Atiku will likely be sworn in as the President.

However, if the Supreme Court disqualifies both Tinubu and Shettima without making any pronouncement on who should be sworn in, there would likely be an extension for a number of days, of the Buhari presidency. Buhari might continue for not more than six months and if he doesn’t wish to continue in office beyond May 29th, perhaps Vice-President Osinbajo might hold forth for a few more months if he too wishes, until another election holds. These are my own layman’s opinions on what might be the scenario and not cast in stone under any legal framework. So, the reader should take this part about an extension of the Buhari/Osinbajo tenure as hypothetical on my part.

There is another scenario too. If Atiku is declared as the winner and sworn in, the case at the Presidential Election Tribunal asking for the judicial interpretation of the constitution as it concerns the 25% in the FCT will definitely come up.

Now, here’s what I think of that section of the constitution. I believe that for a winner to be declared in any Presidential Election, that person has to win 25% in the FCT. I think it’s a no-brainer. My own understanding tells me that the ‘AND’ in that section of the constitution is not in anyway ambiguous but a conjunctive requirement.

So, if Atiku is declared the winner if the judgement on Friday dismisses BAT and Shettima, it is rather likely that he will still step down when the Tribunal gives a judgment on that 25% in the FCT matter. If that happens, Atiku and Obi will slug it out in a run off election, going by the Electoral law, because BAT and Shettima would have been disqualified from running in that run-off.

So, you now can see why this Friday the 26th of May is an important day for millions of Nigerians.

I can only imagine the kind of pressure the Honourable Justices of the Supreme Court are under right now.

Nigerians can only hope that they give the judgement which satisfies their consciences according to the rule of law.

DaChosenOne:
Yoruba muslims make me embarassed to be half Yoruba. Yoruba Christians hate Islam. Igbos are smart to keep that filthy religion out of Igboland. I recently made a thread about Northern muslims celebrating the 9/11 attacks and hailing Osama Bin Laden. Someone informed me that some Yoruba muslims also celebrated and praised Bin Laden in Lagos. I can't tell you the embarrassment I felt. I wish Islam had been successfully repelled from Yorubaland.

I know one alfa in Ijebu-ode back then who told us to start calling him Osama after 9/11 attack, fear that religion
