I like Obaseki . He is bold and goes for broke when the rubber hits the road! He is not desperate to hold elective office. Run a check on him around Satellite town in Lagos and you will discover why!

Mocking justice

But Buhari said Abacha did not steal from Nigeria

What talk coming from from a supposed champion of good governance. Are ELECTED tenured public officials in office to receive allowances or more essentially to serve!

Offpoint:
Including Apapa in the ban list is pathetic, there's no commercial or private vehicle that can operate there due to those tankers and containers... even with bike sef, it's almost impossible to ply there.

Especially From Tin Can down towards sunrise... it's impossible even keke to operate there, take more a vehicle.

Lagos state governor is mad and he doesn't know it.

The Lagos State Governor has daily access to intel not available to you. Even the mad will flee death especially the sort marketed and delivered by Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and banditos. Terrorists are alive in Lagos if you must know. They exist in what is known as sleeper cells.

The wise trek to stay alive!

Typical.

President Buhari is not doing enough to deal with the insecurity in Nigeria.

What difference does that make?

Serious! In the room with a dead body through the night!

Simply pass the enabling Law in your House of Assembly! It is up to the FG to challenge the States in the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court should soon teach the unethical lawyers in the purported Suit the lesson of their lives.

Indeed the last days are here.

Sorry for your loss. May God comfort you all.

Leave immediately and avoid visiting that family. Let anyone think what they want to!

Amazing! Aren’t there seasoned Lawyers in PDP Lawyers in PDP who can give sound legal advise! Shameful to hear the echelons of the party mouthing such childish idea.The Supreme Court lacks the jurisdiction to do what these folk envisage! Counsel bringing such application should stand a very serious risk of losing his practice licence as it is a
most unethical thing to do going by the Legal Practitioners Rules!

Who refers to his ethnic stock space as an “enclave” puts his paternal link in question!

CanadaOrBust:
That’s the whole point sir - PRECEDENT.
The SC behavior here is unprecedented - which is why it sets a dangerous precedent all by itself.

Mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against all lower courts AND INEC itself in other to immediately replace a seating governor with an appellant- all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the plaintiff himself!!

The DOCUMENTS presented and right in front of the judges were faulty almost to the point of uselessness. Yet they did not see that because they didn’t want to - they refused to examine the documents, the sole basis for their momentous ruling!

You should have an intellectually rewarding time dissecting and critiquing the judgment in the company of erudite Professors of Law in the Ivory Tower! So long Amigo!

I Sha saw one Victory Amaize on Facebook. U ppl should goan look fes

I guess she knocked him out! She served him notice!

He needs to comment on his sympathetic statements towards Boko Haram.

CanadaOrBust:
No sir, u r the one that don’t get it. This case hits at the very core of what type of country we’d end up becoming.

NO MATTER WHAT, the SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! They start doing that by thoroughly examining the documents in front of them! This is also their country and they ought care they are setting a precedent that can gradually make it a one-party state! They are removing a gov and putting in another based solely on a set of documents. Regardless of what anyone else fails to submit, they have a DUTY to EXAMINE those documents to make sure they are up to par and that the figures therein make sense vis-a-vis number of registered and accredited voters. That, or they are setting a precedent that will gradually slide the country into a one-party state!

You are not talking Law Sir! We are talking Law here. Courts do Justice according to Law which overtime has become fairly objective by reason of caselaw precedents and not sentiments which is subjective.

It is worrisome that he is not on record as having recanted.

CanadaOrBust:
So it makes sense to you that if a candidate presents documents showing he won more votes than there are registered voters, the SC must accept them AND order him sworn into office IMMEDIATELY, so as not to be accused of “stepping into the ring”.! Law is said to be very technical but this is pure absurdity

You still don’t get it Sir! It is the duty of the Ihedioha and INEC to prove that! Besides, Election Petitions are in a class of their own being cases that have a time frame within which they must be decided. They can’t go on forever. Ihedioha and INEC are bound by their stated cases before the court and it is their duty to prove it.

CanadaOrBust:
Not just INEC, SC acted like part of the conspiracy.

They pretended not to see what is right in front of them! Don’t u think the SC has a duty to EXAMINE the appellant’s documents and decide wether they are up to par and wether the figures therein make sense vis-a- vis number of registered and accredited voters??!!

No Sir! The duty of the court is to act on documents presented before it and proved. Uzodinma presented a result sheet. Ihedioha and INEC did not do what in law is required to discredit the results sheet. In law it is taken as proved. Justice to Ihedioha should also be justice to Uzodinma. The Supreme Court will be stepping into the ring and doing injustice to Uzodinma by doing Ihedioha and INEC job for them. The law is that there must be an end to litigation!

Government magic they can use any element and also give 200 reason.

Breaking…Rt.Hon. Emeka Ihedioha Returns To Supreme Court.

Former Gov. Emeka Ihedioha has gone back to the supreme court seeking to be returned as the Governor of Imo State, he approached the Apex Court on thursday based on the following reasons..

1. Uzodinma was not APC candidate & was not a candidate of any party in the 9th March Governorship election in Imo State based on the judgement of the same Supreme Court on 20th December 2019.

2. Uche Nwosu was declared as the rightful candidate of APC & AA and was disqualified for double candidature.

3. APC couldn’t have produced 2 candidates in one election.

4. Supreme Court have no powers to allocate votes to any candidate.

5. Supreme Court have no power to increase the number of people accredited by INEC.

6. Somebody that was not a candidate cannot be winner of an election he was not a candidate.

7. Nigerian Police have no powers to
organize elections in Nigeria.

8. Results tendered by a police officer cannot be admitted in any court as exhibit as he was not INEC officer.

Based on the above facts that are still subsisting Ihedioha & PDP have applied for review & he might return to his office as the elected Governor of Imo State.

Waste of precious judicial time. Cases are decided based on the pleadings by the parties. On the pleadings as they are The Supreme Court will do no such review not to talk of asking that Ihedioha be returned. The Apex Court revisits principle of laws but not in the manner suggested by this piece. The Counsel puts his practice licence on the line in filing such suit if truly one was filed.

CanadaOrBust:
Something just occurred to me! HOW COULD WE HAVE MISSED THIS?!
Here it is:

SC just handed INEC (and by proxy any ruling party, which is who usually controls INEC) the power to rig any election with impunity. ALL THEY’D DO IS REFUSE TO PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS OF THE AREAS WHERE THEIR CANDIDATE RIGGED. And just like that their candidate’s fake result sheet must be accepted no matter how outrageous it is! Which means he can become the winner even if he came 10th!!

That will invariably lead to a one-party state!

Unless u can articulate an antidote, that makes this judgment not just bad but quite dangerous!!

Bullseye!
Non-lawyers probably miss that. Lawyers already saw that and more!Since it is an impartial arbiter The Supreme Court in all the circumstances could not but decide the matter the way it did. I have this funny but yet unsubstantiated feeling that INEC deliberately played down its response to the petition for obvious reasons.

She exhibits the complimentary gift bag as if to say - “this is all the Governor gave me oooo!”

Indeed there was a country. Try this with an American citizen and you’ll get fried by the balls!

You're entitled to your own opinion, by the way who told you Jesus can forgive sin? do you have any evidence of that? even Jesus (son of Marriam) said, he himself cannot do nothing by himself .

The point being made is that no student writes his own examinations after the academic session is over and it’s graduation day! You can’t be helped in that situation: pray all you can! You only die once and then face judgment!!
