They are right on this. Whoever wishes to contest someone a person candidature should go to court

I am not a fan of Tinubu. I don't even vote but i know She could not have said this. If she truly said this then she is worse than some of our Judiciary. Saying this would mean that she has predetermined the matter and that would be a good ground for Tinubu to appeal. She can't be that careless to have said this.

This holding of Niki Tobi JSC aptly captures the current mood

Brainbox0806:


Thanks for your response, I've never heard of a bank lawyer before. How can such be of help in this case?

Forget everything they say by mouth. Title documents are the most important things. Which state are you? You need the services of a lawyer

A practicing Lawyer knows that this Petition is the wickest in the history of election petitions. I have always been saying that Apc, Tinubu, Inec do not need any SAN to disband these fundamentally defective petitions. A lawyer of just 1 year standing can competently to tear up the petitions. The respondents need not defend the petitions.

This current petition by Obi is different from that of Uzondinma in the sense that no attack was made directly against other votes. Uzondinma alleged that about 300,000 of his votes were not reckown with. He was only asking the court to compute the votes that were not added. But in the case of Obi their star witness even said he wants apc votes as well as Atiku votes cancelled and such cannot be done unless the party is ed as a necessary party.

Alhamdulilah!!!!.

My name is Timileyin, I'm a 26 year old woman living in Lagos and I was born with aids. We can connect on what's app through this number. 09139373088, my prayer is that i can get married this year

Are you a Muslim and can you relocate. If yes then I have someone for you

If you are a lawyer, you will understand what that means. One it means Peter obi lacks credibility. U can bring his past action to show he could not have won the election based on the fact that he is
a serious decampees and as such his party can't win. Again that a party that was just brought to limelight cannot win an election base on previous elections in Nigeria. That also some of his ers may be not be favourable with decamping with him and as such he will lose votes. They will use that an compare with their own candidate who had been consistent. Those facts they quoted is in order in court. You may think that those statements are bear parlour facts but in reality they are cogent facts.

They are challenging your locus standi to sue but you are here talking about 25%. It is only a valid candidate that can duly contest an election. The preliminary objections filed by APC, Tinubu and INEC will dismantle the petition. So don't just put your mind on this petition. It is gone

OKOATA:
People are expectant of it because that's what the law says, if the law should go against it's own rule then there's every right as a citizen to also go against the Law and that will lead to anarchy. You can't set a Law, go against it and call it an exercise.

what we are talking about here is law. When a court lacks jurisdiction , going forward to determine the real issues is an exercise in futility. It is like a team scoring as much as 100 goals after the final whistle is blown. You may not really understand this but a practicing legal practitioner will do.

One thing I am sure of, by the time the court starts determining this issue of 25% in FCT and other issues in the petition, the court would have held that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the petition. So even if the court holds that the 25% in FCT is mandatory , such will not change anything as it would just be an academic exercise. I don't know why people are still expectants about this petition.

Sincerely, on this one, I cannot but agree with Barr. Festus Keyamo.

Shorn of any bias, APC and tinubu in their responses to both LP and PDP petitions have punctured and they have rendered useless the petitions. If you are a practicing legal practitioner, you would know

Their defence is that
1. It is a pre election matter so the presidential election petition does not have power to determine it.
2. The Issue has been determined by the court of Appeal.
There are other that I can't mention now.

A petition that both APC and INEC will tear apart with a preliminary objection. The petitioners filed their petitions on the 21st day which is the last and you don't want APC and INEC to exhaust their own 21 days.

Why will he not respond to the petitions? Do you even know his legal team? A well prepared preliminary objection with a defence on merit will sink all the petitions you are relying on.

What played out in uzodinma case is radically different from the current election petition. In that case, APC alleged that they recorded about 300k votes which INEC failed to accept. The court held that inec was wrong to have refused to countenance the said d votes. That case is fundamentally different from this as there is no alleged confiscation of results. A well prepared preliminary objection will easily defeat all the presidential election petition before the court

He was the one that lost Adeleke case in 2019 and Emeka Ihedioha case

The stipulation as to number of days is a constitional requirement and not by the electoral Act. It has not changed. Still 180 days

That is not true. Lest I he was the one that lost Adeleke case in osun in 2019 election. He also lost The imo election while representing PDP and Ihedioha just to mention these few.There is no such lawyer who has never lost a case before. Even Tinubu lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun who is far ahead of him has lost cases. There are even other SANS who are far ahead of him.

This is not true oooooo. Not only the subject matter determines jurisdiction but also the parties. In this case, 3 governors brought the action against the federal government. In matter between state and Federal government, the supreme court has jurisdiction.my opinion though

What kind of question is this? It is the courts that can interpret the law and the supreme court is the highest court so INEC has no choice than to obey the supreme court judgment. Although I think that the learned justices that gave the majority judgment were in error. There are many ways an allegation of fraud Can be proved. It can either be by oral or documentary evidence though the burden still has to be beyond reasonable doubt. I agree that Machina was able to discharge that burden.

deavicky:
I don't know which state u are speaking from, but here In Rivers state It doesn't work like that. I'm even sure in lagos it doesn't work too. If not, how come the so call omo nile will sell one land to more that 3 persons.

If omo onile sell land to more than 3 persons, there is a legal process to be taken by each of the buyers such that they will all have either the land or the money paid for it. It is still a legal Advice that requires paying legal fees.

Even if you had the land documents, you can't still sell it. There is a legal process to go through before you can transfer the property to a 3rd party. I have stopped giving legal Advice for free. me if you need any. I will charge you for the cost of the legal Advice. Nothing goes for free in Nigeria anymore.

I think the issues involved in this petition are purely documentary and as such the number of witnesses will be very few. A witness cannot change the contents of a documentary evidence. That explains why APC called just 2 witnesses. I won't be surprised if INEC calls only one witness.

Which state are you?

Whada:


You have never voted and will never vote. You're part of the problem. You enable rigging by leaving your slot to be filled by the riggin machinery. There are many of you like that in Nigeria beating your chest that you don't vote. You may not participate in politics but you must step forward when it comes to deciding who governs you.

Am only exercising my right not to vote. Thanks.

Fiscus105:



The change he forced state legislators to change, does it have legal back up in Nigeria constitution?

That is for the court to determine and not him.
