Egoat: The judgement ruled in favor of Shehu tho. I think Awolowo claimed the 2/3 of 19 states was 13 while the court insisted it was 12 and not 13. Going by the judgement, the 2/3 of 37 states is 24 and not 25 but then I'm even confused the more as to why it's so.
You can have 25% as required by law and still loose if another candidates scores 25% but has higher number of votes nationwide.
NwekeUG: Obasanjo Lacks Credibility - Sowore Slams Obasanjo For Condemning 2023 Election Result
Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has tackled former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo after he wrote an open letter to President Buhari, asking him to order the cancellation of any result that the credibility is in doubt and order a fresh election in places where elections were disrupted for next Saturday, March 4th 2023, IGBERETV reports.
Reacting to Obasanjo's letter, Sowore said he has no “credibility” to talk about fraudulent elections, alleging that the former president organised some of the most fraudulent elections during his 8 year tenure as president of Nigeria.
He should await the conclusion of the electoral process.
When elder don oversabi, he go begin do press conference and tales by moonlight from him bedroom.
There is no tension, people are eagerly awaiting results as they trickle in one after the other. Even in USA it took days before Biden was declared winner.
We have seen remarkable results where LP took Lagos, Nasarawa, Enugu states and many National Assembly seats..... heaven has not fallen.
mariahAngel: I've known this fruit since my childhood, but up till now, I'm still not sure of what the exact name is. Some call it apple, others call it something different, but I want to know its particular name. Even if it's its local name.
Is there a local name for it, or has it no name? Have you ever tasted this fruit?
onthehill: EndSARS Will Seem Like A Dress Rehearsal, If 2023 Election Is Rigged - Actor Okon Lagos
Nigerian comic actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh aka Okon Lagos, has asked politicians not to rig the 2023 elections as the EDNSARS crisis will look like dress rehearsal compared to what will happen if the election is rigged, IGBERETV reports.
He stated this on his Instagram page on the day Nigeria's presidential election was held - Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Politics is for those with deep pockets all over the world.
You just can't do without funds to mobilize volunteers and party members nationwide.
Nigeria has over 170,000 polling units and you just need funds to send agents to man the polling units nationwide.
At a paltry sum of N5000 Naira per agent on election day, each party particularly the serious ones is going to cough out over N850,000,000 Naira to monitor the presidential elections.
How many political party or politicians have that quantum of funds to expend on elections?
Party members, Governors, Statemen and Ministers telling the President to tow the path of honour but he remains adamant.
The president making an inglorious declaration on a matter before the Supreme Court shows he lacks what it takes to be a transformational leader.
For the first time in the history of Nigeria the governor's ( real Democrats) have towed the line of honour to defend the people in their respective states in the highest Court of the land.
22nd of February is almost here, Nigerians let's exercise patience.
When BAT was the one man riot squad during Obasanjo's adminstration.
Championed Grassroots government; True Federalism; Sustainable Institutions; Wealth and Job Creation; Effective Taxation without Federal Allocation; Built the ACN accross; Got Bonds to tackle infrastructure deficit; gave Lagos a Development Blueprint and many more.
The Governors are on the side off the Supreme Court, Buhari made a fundamental error as an Head of State to make pronouncements on a case before the highest Court of the land.
It's obvious that Satan-win Emefiele (an Igbo man from Delta State) is a willing tool to destabilize the country, so that elections can be postponed indefinitely.
But the resilience of Nigerians and God will prevail over the wickedness Buhari and his cabal is visiting on the average Nigerians.
lhordspy: Omoyele Sowore explains how INEC chairman was shocked after Labour party leaders were begging INEC to help them with their polling unit agents list.
They don't have agents to monitor elections in over 170,000 polling boots nationwide.
LP don't have money to cover allowances and stipend for agents. It means they can't go to court to seek redress if there is no witness on ground should their be rigging against the party.
Givemehope: I mean Nigerians really deserve special pity because everyday, they go through a lot in all they do.

The struggle to get things done no matter how ordinary it is in Nigeria is just endless. Too much struggle. Very hard before a Nigerian gets anything done without struggling and fighting for it.
Some students were reported to have fainted in UNICAL due to the same struggle.
People struggle in banks, faint and die
Same in petrol stations
I'm tired. May God help us.
My own very funny observation about the comment....... is that
All these crisis and struggles are caused by the Federal Government of Nigeria, those at the helm of affairs
Things that seem ordinary are causing crisis and struggles in Nigeria.
Nigeria amaka!!! Almighty GOD, who did we offend ?
