Even though uncle Charly is exaggerating things, but millions of Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion, undoubtedly believed that Peter Obi is the savior Nigeria needs to reach the promised land, but sadly, Tinubu truncated our democracy by stealing the mandate Nigerians freely gave to Obi. But we Nigerians strongly believe it would be retrieved at the appropriate time.

Thank you so much ............Education , exposure, religion , civilisation is a waste to so many people. I am shocked at the callibre of people whose thinking does not go beyond race, tribe and religion. I wonder how a post on criminality and crime which should be condemned by all, degenerated to tribe conversation.

We really have missed it and we have an uphill task to tame and treat folks who can read and write (not educated) but held down by illiteracy. These same people want to go to the US , UK and Canada and be treated nicely. sadly even people in government are making policy statements from bigotry like the LASG house of assembly speaker.

I condemn all forms of tribal bigotry ...let's build this country on solid principles not race or tribe or religion

Good day to everyone on this prestigious forum. The decision to share this story of mine came to spotlight after months of reluctance & indecision to share and as a result of the stage of deterioration regarding the physical abnormality. That I truly regret!!!

First & foremost what I'm about to say here is about the strange body growth that attacked my left foot, above my left eye & most disturbing right now the bony protuberance on my forehead during my service year in Benin City in 2021, though the last in the list was habit induced which started before I was called-up for NYSC but not very noticeable while the others still remains a mystery to me how it started, at that time my colleagues make jest of me that "you played Johnny with Benin girls abi which is absolutely false. But those on my foot & left eye subsided with the help of an kind elder-state dad in my area.

Now the one disturbing right now is the bony protuberance I've on my forehead which is at a degenerating stage, it's actually began with a childhood habit of mine which involves rubbing my thumb knuckle roughly on my other finger which I find pleasurable now this habit metamorphosed recently & upgraded to my forehead but I only did it when I'm sad, not knowing that I'm causing injury to my forehead but then when I noticed some little bump I stopped it even before I went for service, since then it's just growing.

Please I need all the help I can get right now.

Someone that is not a Christian! He's a well known olumba olumba worshipper. He doesn't believe in Christianity. He never for once stayed for any church service during his unfortunate campaign

He just enters a church, spend few minutes pretending to pray while his media team take photos from different angles, takes the mic to speak some gibberish then he's gone

Is that how to worship God? Baba na confam scammer. Excellent crook

Nigerians are easily deceived sha. Or should I say many of them don't know history.

This was what ngige tried to do in 2003 after stealing peter obi mandate and trust mumu Nigerians then, they tried to go against peter obi who they voted for and were like "let's just leave him since he is trying". But Peter obi went to court for 3 years until he recovered the mandate back and did better than whatever ngige was doing AND ENDED GODFATHERISM IN THE STATE.

Same thing is happening here. I expected all these moves from tinubu but many of us are still not deceived. We want REAL change. Where the President will listen to the people. Where governance and power will be unattractive to looters like femi fani Kayode and co. Where rascality will be reduced seriously etc.

You are arresting a man that took an instruction from his Boss, if Emefle was acting against the directives of the presidency, they would have stopped him

Godwin didn't act on his own.. Arrest Buhari ist..

In an earlier report, it was reported that Davido performed at the new governor of Abia State, Alex Otti’s, inauguration, and people started raising questions about the amount of money that must have been spent on bringing Davido to perform at the event; suggesting that the governor might actually be a waster of resources.

Well, Davido has now clarified by himself that he was not paid a dime to perform at the event. He has actually known Alex Otti all his life.

The sack of all Labour Party Candidates in Abia and Kano States by a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, is on the hot burner.

The Originating Summons was filed by Mr. Ibrahim Haruna Ibrahim against the Labour Party (LP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. It allegedly borders on the failure of the 1st defendant (LP) to submit her membership register to the 2nd defendant (INEC) 30 days prior to the Primaries of the Party.

Section 77(3) of the Electoral Act reads: Each political party shall make such register available to the Commission not later than 30 days before the date fixed for the party primaries, congresses or Convention.

With Otti as a case study, the Abia Gov-Elect resigned from the APC on May 28 and won the Party Primary conducted on June 09, 2022.

However, I believe this judgement was delivered per incuriam.

Elections have been won and lost not only in Abia State but all over the Country, hence it is only through the elections petition tribunal that reliefs (if any) can be sought as of now.

It is trite law that jurisdiction is the life-blood and existence of any suit. No matter how finely delivered, the suit becomes null and void if the Court has no jurisdiction. Lokpobiri v. Ogola per Onnoghen JSC (as he then was).

The Court does not determine the membership of a Political Party. The Party determines her members.

Mr Haruna, the plaintiff, had deposed his OS on 11th May, 2023 well over one month after the election for a suit whose cause of action was June 2022. It is clearly statute-barred, divesting the court of jurisdiction to have entertained same. He ought to have come under Section 285 of the 1999 CFRN and filed 14 days after the course of action for it to be heard.

It is clear that the Federal High Court (Pre-Election) Practice 2022, Nos 3 & 4 were obviously not judiciously followed by the court.

The question that comes to my mind is:
- does the plaintiff even possess the locus to file this suit?

Section 84(14) of the Electoral Act reads:
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act or rules of a political party, an aspirant who complains that any of the provisions of this Act and the guidelines of a political party have not been complied with in the selection or nomination of a candidate of a political party for election, may apply to the Federal High Court for redress.

Was Mr Haruna a candidate of the Labour Party in Abia State? The certain answer is NO. He had no locus, no business with the issues having not participated in the Primaries of the Party in that State.

Again, what comes to my mind is that relevant and interested parties were not joined.

Whilst non-joinder does not necessarily invalidate the proceedings of Court, the absence of a proper or necessary party before the Court renders the entire suit an exercise in futility, as a Court cannot validly make an order or decision which will affect a stranger to the suit, who was never heard nor given an opportunity to defend himself. (Katami v. Katami 2018) per Oho JCA

The proper thing was for the Judge to have allowed a window for necessary parties to be properly joined thereof, at worse.

The plaintiff did not bring himself to show cause why he should be taken seriously neither had he shown the injury he will suffer in Abia State if his suit isn't adjudicated upon.

Again, Can Section 77(3) of the Electoral Act override the Constitutional eligibility requirements of these Candidates in Abia and/or Kano?

Still on the disqualifications issue in APM v. Mr. Peter Obi: The Appeal Court per Anthony Ugochukwu Ogakwu JCA, held that Mr Peter Obi cannot be disqualified by Section 77(3) supra having satisfied the conditions of Sections 131 and 137 of the 1999 CFRN.

Sections 131 and 137 are direct and copious to Sections 177 and 182 (for Governors).

The plaintiff's apparent lack of locus standi should have deprived the trial court of the jurisdiction to grant the relief sought by the plaintiff in his OS.

When the plaintiff has been found not to have the standing to sue, the question whether other issues in the case had been properly decided or not does not arise. The position of the law is to dismiss same (Maxi Okwu & Anor v. INEC & Ors) per Okoro JSC

Interestingly, Justice M N Yunusa contradicted himself when he held that:

"... the candidates that participated in the Abia election are not parties before the court, he lacks the jurisdiction to make an order on the issuance of certificate of return."

Then again

“....That the failure of the 1st Defendant (Labour Party) to submit its register of members in Kano state and Abia state is in crass breach of the provisions of section 77(3) of the Electoral Act, 2022 and the purported primary elections of the 1st defendant is invalid, null and void and of no effect,”

Whilst Justice Yunusa invalidated the Primaries that produced Otti, he had neither restrained nor asked INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Returns issued to the Gov-Elect/NASS Candidates. In lay terms, he made no consequential orders.

This should normally not stop the inauguration for NASS Candidates and/or Otti, however, it has to be vacated or appealed as the judgement is valid and subsisting.

It is wholesomely clear that this suit have no scintilla of merit and will not survive the scrutiny of higher Courts.
