INEC's query is not with Hanga's nomination but the fact that the time had elapsed and Shekarau cannot be replaced except by death.
But I earlier quoted 2 Sections, 31 and 32 to buttress my point.
Whilst INEC is saying based on their guidelines, the Supreme Court has said plenty times that whilst INEC has the power to issue guidelines and manual for the election, it cannot run contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act itself. That is what I am telling you.
When Ezekwesili chose to withdraw in January 2019 for an election in February. INEC rejected same, see their reasons:
“The deadline for Ezekwesili or any candidate in that category to withdraw or be replaced has passed.”
Section 35 of the electoral act, which gives deadline from withdrawal from any election, states: “A candidate may withdraw his candidature by notice in writing signed by him and delivered by himself to the political party that nominated him for the election and the political party shall convey such withdrawal to the Commission not later than 45 days to the election.”
This Section 35 is now Section 31.
Pictures of the primary that producef Hanga on Sept 9:
@Fergie001, if you have a matter to discuss or to address with @gasparpisciotta, please do so without mentioning me. His or her views are not mine.
However, I want to ask you some questions, since you mentioned me:
Was INEC represented at the September 9, 2022 redone primary election that produced Hanga?
Why was INEC not there?
If you can answer those questions correctly then you will understand why INEC does not recognize Hanga but Shekarau as NNPP candidate.
NNPP had timeline to conduct primaries for all positions in line with INEC schedule. They did, INEC witnessed it and submitted Shekarau's name as their candidate. Only to turn around for whatever reason to conduct another primary election, without INEC observation and out of INEC schedule; on September 9, 2022, and represent Hanga as their candidate.
The only authority that can compel INEC to recognize Hanga in this case is the relevant court of law. NNPP and Hanga should approach the appropriate court; It is that simple.
Don't Vote A Southern Christian. If You Vote Obi, You Are Voting For Biafra - Northern Cleric
Inec recently stated that any tribal or religious campaign will be stopped and person prosecuted.
Here is a video of a northern cleric clearly saying that, no northerner should ever vote for a southerner candidate and was specific about Peter obi, and voting for obi will not benefit them. Watch the video and see for yourself.
You will see a lot of this frantic effort from the Northern leaders and Islam clerics soon.
The obvious truth is that they are jittery in respect of 2023 Election. They know that their treachery and nepotism has been exposed.
They fear the power of unity of the christians and southern people. They fear the connivance of the middle belt with the christians and southern people movement.
fergie001: The Electoral Act is clear.... INEC has no business with a Candidate's defection.
The Electoral Act is clear that your withdrawal should be signed and sent to your Political Party who has the responsibility of sending same to INEC. Nonetheless Shekarau still informed INEC.
Section 31 of the 2022 Electoral Act: A candidate may withdraw his or her candidature by notice in writing signed by him and delivered personally by the candidate to the political party that nominated him for the election and the political party shall convey such withdrawal to the Commission not later than 90 days to the election.
Again, the Party didn't just substitute his name, they conducted a Primary by Affirmation.
The Party need not go to Court after a withdrawal. INEC only needs confirmation and signatures of both the person who withdrew and the Political Party.
INEC's argument is that it is outside their issued timetable which I believe will be quashed by the Court.... NNPP will head to Court.
For the party to substitute Shekarau's name, they must claim to have conducted another primary anyway but was it done within INEC timeframe? Was INEC an observer at the subsequent primary? Those are legal issues for the court to review.
Can you show proof that INEC was officially informed by Shekarau that he doesn't want to contest the election under that party anymore.
INEC's argument is that it is outside their issued timetable which I believe will be quashed by the Court.... NNPP will head to Court.
That is the bottom line. INEC needs the courts to determine the case of Apabio and Shekarau.
fergie001: Shekarau's case is not in Court. I believe INEC is in the wrong on that, for Akpabio... I understand it is in the hands of the Court.
They are handicap on Shekarau's case too because he actually contested on the platform of NNPP, he won and his name was submitted by the party to INEC. The party only attempted to substitute his name at INEC when he decamped which was recently.
INEC has no justification to recognize the new person because the primary election that INEC witnessed produced Shekarau.
The party also did not approach the court to get a judgement to substitute Shekarau's name.
Shekarau also did not officially notify INEC that he is no more at NNPP.
INEC needs the new person and or NNPP to approach the court and get a judgement to recognize the new person as the party's flag bearer instead of Shekarau.
omoharry: na the side check mail dey vex me .. she nor even fine reach the wife sef.. what is wrong with some men sef !!
Most times, we can not comprehend why a man would leave his beautiful wife and chase after a side chick. Sometimes, the wife we know or see and appreciate may be a different person to the husband.
We are not in the marriage,we are not even close to them so we can't understand. Experience has proven to me that it may be a mistake to judge without much or adequate information on the subject matter.
However, it ended in a sorry and sympathetic state for the couple, especially the wife. The husband may never forgive himself and what will the kids think?

PasD: : we have not had sex before at all. He just wants relationship and marriage but for me he is too old for me. Majority of people here are saying I should return the phone....
Just maybe I should....
But there is something I think y'all should know. He is not asking me to give him the phone directly. He send the phone dealer that delivered the phone to tell me that they need to give the phone to another person and give me another one. That they made a mistake giving me another person's phone. But I'm not a fool I know he wants it back.
I have called and he is not picking
Okay, this is a lesson for you - there is no free gift even in freetown.
Clear all information and history of yours on the phone and return it to the supplier that brought it to you on his behalf since the supplier is asking for it now. Ensure a factory reset, it is very important.
The gift was a bait after all. He will keep using it and other things he does for you as a leverage on you. It is not a sincere love relationship.
The next time a man offers you such gift, please try to investigate what his real intention could be before you accept the gift so that from the get go, you both understand what you are doing.
LIVEGOESON1: This faceless forum done make every dingbats and tom diicks wey never fit pronouce their name well de come rob shoulder. Even primary school drop out de teach lmao. I blame who leave phone for u cuz e show me say u no fit buy nokia 3310

[quote author=LIVEGOESON1 post=116696171][/quote]Honestly, there is no point going on with you. LOL! You want to see my PHD because of Samsung, Iphone and all kinds of phone.
LIVEGOESON1: Samsung is bae. Does xiomi have cusor like samsung? What abt samsung popup like facebook messenger does xiomi have it? What about widow like computer that enable u multitaskt over 5 app at a go without overview? Like i said u cut ur coat to ur size. No phone beats samsung inovation.
Maybe you should speak to a user of Xiaomi in person.
You can multitask on a lot of phones, not only Xiaomi.
Facebook messenger pops-up on Xiaomi and a lot of other phones that are android operated.
About the cursor, is there any android phone that doesn't present a cursor when you are typing? LOL!
With the innovation you refer, we get same result at about the same time or I may even get results before you in terms of timing.
The only reasonable thing you said is "cut your coat according to your size". Let me also add another reasonable thing for you to learn: "there are other and better ways to spend money productively instead of wasting it on a very expensive phone, just to exhibit your complex."
Your written English tells a lot about you anyway.
obedience4: You are still living in the stone age,. A woman has her right to refuse sex even in marriage. Many of your kind with this mentality are wearing Orange jumpsuit here in the USA
In the USA, you may be able to prove "rape in marriage" but here in Nigeria, you can't prove it. There is no "expressly stated" law that you will use to support your case.
The laws in USA and Nigeria are different and we are talking about rape in Nigeria.
Zane2point4: I said something similar until i tried iphone,u dont need to buy just handle with a Frnd’s own,you’ll notice something different,even by the weight and handling you’ll know this is a super handware you’ve got in your hand!
Forget about those girls and ppl that doesn’t even know how to utilize it except snapchat,its a very nice device!
I said something similar abt benz until i drove it,if i had the money i for pay for one there and then,difference is always clear bro!
jeromestarks: Just because it's not in some kinda stupid book doesn't mean it's not plausible.
The law doesn't recognize rape in marriage. That is the legal position. I careless about plausible positions especially when it is not legally founded.
We are not talking sentiments here; we are talking legalities.
