Janajack:
Peter Obi filed 25 count charge against Tinubu but you people are showing us only 5 count charge. Tinubu should go to court and defend himself

💯

The plaintiff(s) & the defendant(s) should head to court.

The reason why "Atiku that came 2nd is not claiming the same"
He knows that the position given to him by APC/Yakubu M. is not his true position base on the true copies sent to them from PU by their agents.



My brother just save your energy and let the court do their job.

Larryhoover:


The irony of this is that the SANs would cash out as usual but because of your bandwagon effect, your vacuumed head can't see a simple point I made because it didn't suit your narrative.

Why should Obi reported to be 3rd on the result be declared when an Atiku that came 2nd isn't claiming same?

Just try and drop the phone and think, think please.

See mumu reason !

walebliss:
Cancel election and conduct another with whose money?

Iamgrey5:
The tribunal Will strick down this petition in no time.

How on earth will they bring up eligibility of winning candidate and ask court to declare the candidate who came third the winner?

Please remind me how imo state governor became governor.

What's the case here?
Tinubu is not qualified to contest not that Election was rigged.

Shameless People

The ipobian biafran traitor has gone hairwire.

Nigeria isn't Anambra, that his daft trick only worked at Anambra during PDP government, this is APC.

Larryhoover:
With this petition, the case has ended even before it started.

On what ground would you say INEC should disqualify a candidate and not eligible to contest.

That INEC should disregard the vote of the 1st and 2nd respondent, and hence declare the 1st petitioner as the winner. Then what should Atiku that came 2nd with over 6.8m votes do?

I think some SANs need to think deeply before filing a petition because these are pre-election matters that is the responsibility of the party not the opposition.

Well, it would be interesting to see the outcome of the Tribunal but honestly I expected something solid from the Obi's legal team and not this joke.

How can you say that seeking for disqualification of a candidate in an Election petition is solely pre-election matters and responsibility of the party only?

Have you taken time to study the electoral Act and the grounds for petitions?

Make your research first, before dropping your comments.

Web2020:
Oluomo boys are the worst set of people to educate.
Read all his prayers.

He ask that the court declared him winner. He gave the acceptable reason for that.

He asks the court to otherwise, nullify the election. And he gave the ground for that. Note: the ground at which the election is to be nullified is different from the one he should be declared the winner. It is left with court to decide the one with strong evidence.
I am not surprised, looking at the set of people supporting Tinubu- Oluomo and Asari tokubo

Same as obi boys too
They don't reason before actions rather they act on emotions. Y inec no disqualify tinubu

I am 100% sure he got this advise from a mad man

....like yourself

N3TRAL:
These obidîots are nuts 😂

What's the difference? Premium Times gave a summary of the prayers/ reliefs he sought.

The best possible result for Obi from the day he got the Labour Party ticket was always a rerun of the elections. He didn't get 25% in 24 States. The tribunal cannot declare him winner of the election.

Contrary to the rumours spread on social media, nowhere in the entire electoral act mentions electronic transmission of results.

Obi knows he lost. His lawyers know he lost. Coming out to admit his loss will make his supporters pessimistic that he may ever win. His best hope is to push the narrative the INEC and the judiciary denied his mandate.

This is the weakest presidential election petition in Nigeria's history. The PDP who came second have realized they have no case. 4 of the prayers will be struck out by the court and the court will only focus on the 25% in the FCT contention to clarify their earlier decisions. The Judges should get prepared for insults from obidîots.

Prayer 1 & 2 that Tinubu is not qualified and didn't score 25% in the FCT are their main arguments. The rest are alternatives. It is based on the premise that if Tinubu was not qualified to contest ab initio that his votes did not count and therefore Obi had the highest votes cast and scored 25% in at least 24 States.
Read the paper.

INEC is empowered to decide what means to transmit results, and INEC reached a decision and announced to Nigerians that it will transmit the results electronically, that's what makes it constitutional. INEC staff failing to transmit the results was illegal according to the decision reached by the organization.

If the CBN for example announces a decision to Nigerians, CBN staff are not allowed to go contrary to the decision. That decision rests on the organization, not for its staff to decide to do what they like

Geopex:


Who make Abuja so special that u must have 20% in the electoral act, so Abuja is special than other state. Many of u did not know that Abuja was not regarded to as a state and that's that's y the word 'and' is always used mentioning states with Abuja. Nawa for una. Even opposition better than LP tried to disqualified Tinubu on education, forgery, and drug but they all failed. Tell your obi to Focus on collation of results from the real polling units if he scored highest numbers and the spread. He should just forget Abt INEC transmission of results or so . Inec did not state only transmission of results and did not specify in the act that they will b using the portal to do the collation and they did not.oromised anybody that the whole results must b on the server B4 they can announce the winner

Maggi is not good for our body. So try to acknowledge that fact and let the court do their job. Besides none of us here can't teach the court the right thing to do in case like this.



So please save your energy.

Jsucre:
Dey no even add Maggi to the soup. Very Tasteless

Millimann:


It has to.

This post gives a clearer view of Obi's petition, not the earlier one which they pushed to the front page.

this one tough pool and don't think Tinubu can escape this

Rerun if the election wil be something else ooo. May God lead!

You are clearly ignorant. That is not the full document but just a snippet. The full charge will carry the reasons and also evidences to why this should be so.

Also there are more than one point to be looked at and not just this one.

Tareq1105:


Mumu is your middle name.

Shettima can even participate in Senatorial primary election.

Did he participate in presidential primary election?

No.

Electoral Law says you cannot participate in 2 primaries.

Shettima participated in only one and that's Senatorial.

He never participated in presidential primary.

Shettima was PICKED for VP, he was not elected, he never contested for it.

Electoral Law did not say you cannot be picked.

He was picked. He never contested or participated in 2 primaries.

My guy you go school now. Do you have to be a lawyer to understand this?

Obi lawyers are mumus.

Tinubu should just allow me to defend him. He shouldn't disturb Olanipekun, Fagbemi, and Olujimi and the rest 47 SANs.

Please read s35 of the electoral act; perhaps, slowly this time. It says that you cannot be nominated by more than one political party or in more than one constituency in an election season.

Also, note the word "nominated" is different from the word "elected". Tinubu was nominated & elected to be the presidential candidate of APC during his party primary;Whereas, Shettima was nominated to become his party vice-presidential candidate after the party primary

Total waste of time

Read with intelligence Sir. The words 'lawful votes', 'valid votes' and 'elections were not conducted substantially in accordance with the provision of the Electoral Act', were used. He mustn't say 'rigged' before he passes his point across. There are things that are not said outrightly in law, reason why people hire lawyers.

I'm sure you read the petition only to respond, not to understand.

Hahahaha so this is already giving APC sleepless night that one of their thugs came to Nairaland and post something else rubbish .

They we meet in court oya we are waiting already in court.

Iamgrey5:
I am shocked that this is what Peter Obi came up with.

What else do you want him ask the court for. This is Legal matters those without legal mind just keep quite

U guys are not just reasonable ppl, so because they always sweep things under the carpet nobody should do the right thing again. They told him so in Anambra state but he won't after 3 years, could it be that God was preparing him for this day so shut up.

Bahamas95:
Obi shouldn't waste his time, this is Nigeria we all know how it would end. They would sweep it under the carpet as usual.




Whenever they tell you to go to court after declaring someone winner just forget it..... They're indirectly telling you to go to hell.

Are you a lawyer? Have you heard their argument on the points?

It's so unfortunate that many commentators here did not even get the facts right. The petition is 109pages. It includes the sham held in Rivers State, and some others. Let's all wait and see.

Supreme court did it for 3rd place Uzodima.

Geopex:


Alaye! FCT is not a state, they usually write 36states and FCT. It was stated that u must have 25% vote in 25 states and FCT. They simply used and to join FCT because he was not regarded as a state! Simple.
So if u have 25% votes in FCT, it will b counted as part, but not a must u have it since u already meet the requirements in other states

That's not correct.

"25% in 2/3 of the 36 states, including FCT" would have the appropriate statement if that is what was meant.

"And" is a conjecture, which makes FCT a requirement.

It might have been an oversight by the framers of the constitution, but in this case, the intention will be nearly impossible to proof, so the ruling will be based on the facts of the written statement

He's not a fool, he has the true record of the election, prepare for the shock of your life soon, this is Nigeria, everyone has insiders, the true result sheet of the election is with LP, and will soon be released

Just dey play! The FCT is the seat of power where the president will reside, If you must be President, you should at least score 25% of the state you're to reside in. The FCT 25% clause was added because the President is like the FCT "governor" who now appoints a Minister to run the territory for him. So for the president to be the legitimate head of the FCT, he must have at least 25% approval of the people in FCT.
