If gbaja fail to secure the speakership

Tinubu better start looking for a new party

Because the way he will be bullied


You will think he's a mere commissioner

IeatPussy:
Facebook Shut down Blackberry and it will be easier for USA to make this Huawei OS obsolete outside China by banning google, Facebook, WhatsApp, instagram and other American apps European and Africa uses.

No Africa man will buy phone he won't enjoy those apps. That's why Blackberry ended and start switching to android.

And the revenue cost?

tolexy007:




Yes I know we are not talking entertainment, What if China have thier own OS and America refuse to.let Facebook, Instagram, goggle, twitter work on it, do you think peolpp will buy it? How many people can do without Facebook, twitter Instagram, YouTube etc

If they choose to play this card

China should in turn ban anything ios and Android


Let's see who will be able bear the fall out

I know osun will be there

Bunch of useless dingbats

You own too much

Trying to control the party as u wish

Aregbese have destroyed osun state


Future already mortgaged

Months of unpaid salaries

Yet

A state that doesn't earn up to 5bn/month hanging out with Lagos,rivers,delta in debt

Is a pity

NgeneUkwenu:
That APC has been disqualified by the Supreme court, and subsequently voided their votes, is no longer a news.

However, the Supreme court in ing their Judgement was being careful and vigilant not to create another constitutional crisis, hence the caveat " the second highest scoring party which met the Constitutional requirements should be sworn in as elected.

Now, which party came second?- PDP

Did the PDP meet the constructional requirements, for instance in the Governorship election?

Then, let's see the scores of PDP and APC as regards the Zamfara Governorship Election:

The apex court ordered that runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfils the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least 2/3 of LGs of d state.

Here is the analysis:

Total votes cast: 810,782
APC: 534,541 votes
PDP: 189,452 votes

Now if you remove the Voided Votes which now include that of the APC...You are now left with 189,452 votes of the PDP and about 10,000 combined votes of the "also ran" parties which will total about 200,000 votes.

From the above analysis, it is very clear that void votes are way higher than valid votes, which a winner CANNOT be Validly Returned.

Only Option before the INEC: order a rerun of the entire election, which must exclude APC ( Since the window for primaries had since closed).

Option before APC: Adopt one of the "also ran parties" put the picture of Buhari on the banners, and let their candidates be the candidates of the APC.

End!..

lalasticlala Mynd44...

Let the legal minds interact here.

Apc votes is not voided its wasted votes

Voided votes still remain the same as it was before

Expect INEC wants another inconclusive election

Apc votes will be deducted from the total number of votes casted and valid votes

Then they determine if Pdp have the 2/3 in 9 LGAs

Efewestern:




You are probable ignorant about international politics, or should I say you know nothing about the Persians. No doubts Iran can't even dare confront the US unprovoked, that will be their end, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their soil, due to terrain, how determined the Persians are, allies in the region, etc.

Wars are not only won due to Sophisticated weapons, if not Isreal wouldn't have been defeated by rag tag Hezbollah militias, US wouldn't have been defeated by ill equipped Vietnam military, Saudi Arabia would have for a long time won the crisis in Yemen, etc.

Iran is threading with care, and they know they don't match the US, but if US dare attack her, they will fight US with all they have, The Persians fought Iraq will little international even when Saddam Hussein was being ed by the entire western world, Iran back then had few weapons and depended largely on Foreign countries for military hardwares, yet they were able to push Iraq out of Iran and fought like never before, in fact they changed the objective of the war and was about encroaching Iraq. Iran fought to keep its sovereignty with tooth and nail even when Iraq was using chemical weapons on them.

Now fast forward to 2019, Iran has so many d militias in Lebanon (Hezbollah, strongest in the world, that even the almighty Isreal would think twice before stealing Lebanese land), Houthi Shia groups (Yemen militias kicking Saudi ass in Yemen), Syria military (If not for Iran, The rebels would have defeated Bashar al-Assad), Iraq (Iraq is now an ally of Iran). That's not all, Iran has a homegrown military industry, they produce their own rockets, guns, submarines, aircraft (thou inferior), sophisticated missiles, etc, now tell me how you intend defeating a country such as this with ease? or you think Iran is Libya?

US knows this and they know invading Iran unprovoked will end their influence in the region, this war won't only end in Iran, it will affect all Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia and Isreal, Just an order from Iran and see how Hezbollah unleash their madness.

US is powerful, but wars are not always won by that. a war with Iran isnt what we should be praying for, as millions will perish. God heal the Middle East.

Are you telling that hezbollah that Iran has not been able to fund properly due to sanctions imposed on Iran by trump are the ones that will take on ISREALI army and us army?

How can a poorly funded army fared better than a "over-properly funded" armies



Even if they are properly funded hezbollah will be dealt a blow anytime anyday

Do u have any idea how long Isreal has been looking for a full blown war with Iran since time immemorial

Iran better for their own sake not ask for war they will be render useless

If they are depending on putin and China I pity them putin is more about what I can gain than give unless he's sure there is more to gain he's not going to war

What will 300+ get u

No wonder they will rather abuse their mother just to defend the vegetable

Pot of soup must not break

Peacecore:
Even without that,Adeleke will lose d case bcoz election case are not won base on sentiment or some group of ppl outcry..
Looking at d tribunal verdict, it shows that rerun election approved by the constitution is
The tribunal base it judgement that the polling units where re-run took place was not legal because RO cancelled the units whereas its the job of PUs officer

U can't build legality on illegalityinvalid which then make the electoral part of the constitution useless. The best supreme court can do is other a rerun if enough evidence of violence n neglect of electoral process

kahal29:


How far

The end justifies the means

Adeleke is our governor

See below

Baba ooo

Oya drop one correct score or HT/FT

Make we see weda na fake or real una be

This one na handicap match oo

kahal29:
Right from 2007 when I first heard about Chief Wole Olanikpekun (SAN) he is very good in defending his clients from a defensive and disadvantaged position. A few cases comes to mind

1. Atiku Abubakar vs FG 2007 - In this particular case he defended Atiku Abubakar in the Supreme Court when OBJ removed him as the VP and got a landmark judgement in his favour where the Supreme Court ruled that the president and his vice are two inseparable twins that the president cannot wake up and remove his vice.

2. Atiku Abubakar vs INEC 2007 - Here the Supreme Court ruled INEC does not have power to disqualify any candidate.

3. Yardua PDP vs Buhari ANPP 2007

4. T. A Orji PPA vs Onyema Ugochukwu PDP 2007 - where in Appeal court PH he upturned the Tribunal judgement that disqualified T. A on the ground that he belonged to Okija Secret society and that he did not resign his appointment as the Chief of staff as at the time he contested for the GUBER election. The tribunal hence awarded victory to Onyema Ugochukwu on the grounds that he scored the second highest number of votes.

6. Osunbor vs Oshiomole 2007 - where he got victory for Oshiomole

7. Agagu vs Mimiko 2007 - where he also got victory for Mimiko.

8. Jonathan vs Buhari 2011

9. Wike vs Peterside 2016

10. Okezie Ikpeazu vs Alex Otti 2016 - Where he upturned the appeal Court judgement that deducted the votes of Ikpeazu and awarded victory to Alex otti

11. Okezie Ikpeazu vs Uche Ogah 2017

12. Eyiteyo Jegede vs Jimo Ibrahim

13. Uche Secondus vs Ali Modu Sheriff


The only two cases I can he has lost is Faleke vs INEC and Umana Umana vs Udom Emmanuel.

In Umana and Umana vs Udom Emmanuel he lost because he argued from both sides of the mouth. Having defended Wike by arguing against carder hence there was no way he would have won in the case of Umana Umana by arguing for it again.


In summary I also believe he will do justice to this Osun State Tribunal judgement at the higher Court. He represented Oyetola at the Tribunal stage.

Lolz

Wole is well for technicalities

Trust me this is past technicalities

garfield1:

That is why i said we need to look at the electoral law and guidelines.but from the inec training,it is not presiding officers.infact,some collation centres reject results of some polling units to show you the limited powers of presiding officers.

As far as I know presiding officers are the ones allow to cancel a polling unit result maybe with permission of their bosses that I don't know but RO CAN'T cancel PUs result

This is exactly why the tribunal decides the re-run is illegal

INEC didn't tie that end

garfield1:

Provide a source where presiding officers are empowered to cancel polling units.even during inec adhoc training,we were never told that presiding officers cancel polling unit elections.if there is any violence or anything hindrrimg the conduct of polls,presiding officers are advised to call the supervisory presiding officers who will in turn call superior officials and report to them.in case of ballot box snatching,presiding officers are advised to write a report stating what happened but they cant take final decisions on cancellations.

So who have the right to cancel polling unit result?

OlujobaSamuel:

The power to cancel, declare inconclusive and order a rerun has been affirmed by SC in various rulings, one of such is Kogi state.
The major premise on which this ruling is found is that rerun was illegal, if subsequently affirmed by CA or SC to be legal, the judgement will retain Oyetola.
I think the PDP should start working on how the rerun was rigged because I don't think the ruling today will stand further judicial test, else, we have so many election overturned except presidential and very few gubernatorial election. We might have to start preparing for election every quarter in one state or the other, as so many shall be overturned.

CA/SC can't do shit

U can build legality on illegality

Because the cancelled PUs was done by the RO not PO who are the only ones empowered by law to do so

muykem:
Appeal court will upture the judgement. Supreme Court has consistently rerun election where the different between leading contestants is not up of cancelled votes.

Bro expect other shenanigans are involved i don't see how Apc will justify the re-run because a look at the tribunal judgment will tell u that PDP won because

They proved that ONLY presiding officers are empowered to cancel a polling unit result NOT returning officer which was the case in osun state


How they will now justify the re-run is what I don't know

jomoh:
Meaning from this mans explanation, the other judges only declared Adeleke the winner because the supplementary votes casted didn’t follow the proper electoral law.


In other words, the tribunal has nullify the rescheduled election and the whole election is still inconclusive because the gap between the leader(Adeleke) and the runner up(Oyetola) is still less than the cancelled votes.


Adeleke should not rejoice at all. His victory is on a thin ice and even an untrained lawyer can overturn then tribunal judgement.

LOLzz Apc are in deep shiiit

The election is no longer inconclusive because the "cancelled" votes didn't follow the legal procedure only presiding officers can cancel votes not Returning officers which was the case in osun

Inec couldn't prove that the doctored forms were just "honest" mistake

I still don't know how Apc will scale through the tribunal was too meticulous

Indispensable85:


It appears to be a very strong ground for appeal. It's like the tribunal declared the rerun illegal and deducted the results gotten from the 17 polling units where the rerun held from the both parties.if the supreme court can just acknowledge the powers of INEC to order a rerun then,there will be serious trouble for Adeleke. I want him to be favoured, because he actually won that election.

Acknowledge INEC powers?

INEC has its own rules.. Which they flagrantly disobeyed.. They just don't act

Only PUs Presiding officers have the power to cancel PU result the tribunal have affirmed not returning officer

INEC in their haste didn't tie loose ends on the doctored forms

one of the major grounds PDP won

Will SC upturn all these? No

There is no way Apc can prove the rerun is legal
