It is.even if nothing happens in Friday,obi will still lose

Am not among the judges so I wouldn't know the outcome.

Penguin2:


If you know how Obi met Anambra and how he left it, you would know why Anambra people worship him, and why you should never downplay his works in Anambra.

Meanwhile, Obi has the tact and connections to hold Nigeria together better than Tinubu will ever do.

Obi is a no-nonsense character that you can’t compare to GEJ who is meek and always wants to make everyone happy.

Obi is in a class of his own abeg.

This is another misinformation from the obidients. Anambrans always praise and made mention of Ngige's performance in office and they regard him as the best governor in the history of Anambra until towards the end of Obi's tenure when Obi activated ethnicity to campaign against Ngige by saying he's in Amala and ewedu party , Awolowo party , Anambrans wealth will be stolen and channeled to Tinubu in Lagos etc .

It took serious begging from ojukwu to get Obi elected for second and Obi capitalized on Fashola deportation saga to get Obiano elected as a successor .


Obi was an average governor in Anambra and nobody remember him when rating his colleagues throughout that period

Ngige was doing well before his godfgdathers struck.buhari is a no-nonsense fellow,look at where it got us.obi is average,umahi is far far better while obi is overhyped and exaggerated.we need someone who will take the economy to pre gej era,make cash flow not someone who hardly release funds.
Obi doesnt have friends nationwide,he is not liberal minded and too tribalized.he doesnt command national respect and fear

Thank you for this. They think it's everyone that suffering from short memory . Obi was an average governor and he's never in the discuss when debating about the best governors in his era

Obi was busy dismantling the wrong foundations that had held Anambra down.

He concentrated in restructuring of Anambra politics and the structure and workings of Anambra as a whole and set it on the right path.

The people didn’t understand these things while he was in office. It was when they started reaping the fruit of his works after he had left office that they came to revere him more.

And hey, Obi was also very popular while in office.

You are not from Anambra, that’s why you are arguing.

Akpabio was rated because of Stadium.

Amaechi was rated because he embarked on monorail that was never completed.

Fashola was good; I give it to him.

Now, years later after their times in office, how much gain is Akwa Ibom reaping from Akpabio’s World Class Stadium?

How many Rivers people have used Amaechi’s monorail?

But Anambra has continued to reap, in quantum measures, Peter Obi’s investment in education.

Now, imagine Obi used the money he invested in education in Anambra to build a world class stadium in Onitsha, that’s only when you would have agreed that he had a legacy project but Anambra would still be 26th in education or maybe worse off by now.

There is a strong merit in your argument, if the SC upholds Atiku, the 21 days begins to count from the day of the declaration of that judgement. (This impeaches my earlier position)

Cc: garfield1

The new Electoral Act conforms that pre-election will only come through Sections 29(5) and 84(14). In both situations, only an aspirant has that locus, unless they say otherwise on Friday.

Issues of disqualifications are pre-election matters:
Shettima's double nomination does not touch on the Constitutional Eligibility Requirements of his Candidacy. It's a product of the Electoral Act and pre-election.

Issues of forgery, citizenship and so might be looked into at the PEPT not double nomination which is wholly pre-election.

A collective reading into Abdulrauf Abdulkadir Modibbo v. Mustapha Usman, APC v. Aliyu Suleiman Lere; our Courts classified the following issues as Pre-Election.

nomination of a candidate
double nomination of a candidate
disqualification of a candidate
wrongful substitution of a successful candidate’s name by INEC complaints about the conduct of primaries
false declaration on oath about particulars of a candidate.

In all of these, none touches on items in the CFRN.

I believe it is clearly a pre-election matter. In a nutshell, Tinubu's false declaration suit as well as Shettima's double nomination are merely academic before the tribunal (to my understanding).

The bolded was what I thought as well. Because with Atiku’s declaration would come a new cause of action which aggrieved parties would have 21 days again to seek redress.

On who can sue a candidate for double nomination or wrong substitution by a party, I think when still a pre-election matter, only fellow aspirants in same party has the locus to sue. But once elections are conducted, fellow candidates in the election are then conferred with locus to challenge the entire process leading to the emergence of such candidate in the election.

But let’s see what the Supreme Court will say. Though I am not expecting the Supreme Court to void Tinubu’s candidacy. But one thing we always overlook is that if we are talking about bribing judges, Atiku equally has enough financial war chest to pay judges double of whatever Tinubu can offer. At the end, their Honourable Justices will just have to do justice in the best way they dim fit.

garfield1:


Obi case at tribunal is against tinubu.if atiku wins,the case dies as tinubu is the original respondent not atiku and time for amendment has lapsed

Obi case is not only against Tinubu ,go and read it again.
Yes he has a case of drug,25%fct stuff,qualification,and claimed that he had more valid vote than Tinubu.
He also has a case against Shetima's double registration and some other cases .That was why they said in their petition that Tinubu should be disqualified and all their vote counted as Zero vote.

He has a case against INEC also.Go through the 50 pages petition and reconfirm

But once elections are conducted, fellow candidates in the election are then conferred with locus to challenge the entire process leading to the emergence of such candidate in the election.

Pre-election matters that crystallise into post election are cases that touches on the Constitutional eligibility requirements of that Candidate.

I believe issues like forgery, citizenship, been an ex-convict or so.. Honestly, I do not think double nomination is one of them.

But let’s see what the Supreme Court will say. Though I am not expecting the Supreme Court to void Tinubu’s candidacy. But one thing we always overlook is that if we are talking about bribing judges, Atiku equally has enough financial war chest to pay judges double of whatever Tinubu can offer.

Oga,stop embarrassing yourself na.any case against shettima is still a case against tinubu as it is a joint ticket.his case against inec is tied around the declaration of tinubu as winner.but theres a new twist,if atiku is declared,it means the tribunal will start again as the new 21 days to file petition will start counting from 26.it happened in bayelsa

Oga,akpabio was not rated because of stadium but infrastructure generally.that stadium was the last thing he did before handing over and it wasn't complete.before akpabio,aks was a total village.all eyes was on crs.akpabio came and massively delivered basic amenities,opened up several villages to urban centres overnight.he empowered so many poor people overnight with his akpabiomber ideals.he is populist.

The monorail was among the last things amechi did,it was never even 5% complete.how will people praise him for such rubbish? You funny oh.see, amechi provided infrastructure in both rural and urban areas.I went deep into rural areas in khana and andoni and saw world class schools and hospitals built by amechi in 2013,he had projects in far flung areas.he employed people massively,the militancy took the shine off his govt.

Lol!

So you think my mention of education means that was the only sector Obi worked?

Obi started (from scratch) and finished the Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital in Nnewi which became Anambra State University School of Medicine.

Obi invited community leaders across Anambra and asked them to choose what their most pressing needs are and he solved them.

Obi built up the roads in Anambra. Those of us who are travelers that access Anambra both from Enugu and Imo borders saw for ourselves as did Anambra indigenes.

The story that Obi sacked non-indigenes is a pure malicious propaganda of the opposition. Because those people were sacked after they failed basic qualification exams to test their capacity. Anambra indigenes were affected too.

Wait, are you saying Anambra people are fools that they have been deceived to worship Obi like god since his tenure ended even though he didn’t perform?

Remember that this is Nigeria. What if the owners of Nigeria strike Tinubu from there? Remember they don’t want him. But Tinubu is trying to muscle his way past them.

Obi did well in the education sector from what I saw in anambra.obi roads were not up to the quality done by ngige eg the Jerome udorji road,nkpor road.
Obi sacked non indigenes,he did not hide it.nothing like basic qualification exams.before they were employed,they already passed through rigorous process.civil servants only write exams for promotion and IG they fail,they are never sacked but are not promoted.if you dont know simple civil service rules,get yourself updated.
85% of obi's appointees were catholics,we had what we call the agulu cartel.obi never appointed any non indigene into his govt.just like buhari,obi is a religious zealot.look at the average successor he brought in obiano.look at how he mismanaged his relationship with his predecessor and almost killed apga.

I have said it several times. Obi did not do anything in Anambra. In terms of transparency, he may be miles ahead of Tinubu and Atiku. Even Obiano the drunken master performed better.

Ngige was good and Anambra people applauded him and even started pressuring Obi to withdraw his case from court since Ngige was already doing well.

But when Obi when eventually enthroned by the court, Anambra people now realized that even though Ngige was on the right path, Obi was miles ahead.

Obi was not really popular in office. Apga barely won majority in the state HOA under him. Opposition always controlled senate seat in Anambra. He had a weak mandate, winning in 2010 with only 97k votes and losing in Idemmili, Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi despite federal backing and failing to meet the constitutional requirements of 2/3 spread. It was Obiano's administration that gave apga strong footing in Anambra by restorating majority in the national and state assembly and winning 21/21 in the election.

Stop making noise about Obi, Ngige remains the best.

My summary is that obi was never fantastic as a governor.he was average.again,obi believes in a one man show of micro managing everything and it is a recipe for failure.there is so much poverty in the land that at times it requires cash expenses and obi doesnt do that.he cannot manage nigeria.

Dah guy,you heard from hundeyin and you quickly conclude? Are you aware that the apex court can deliver judgment even on Saturday? Who are the owners of Nigeria? Tinubu is closer to them than anybody else

As for the upcoming supreme court decision. I'll like to see it from political rather than the legal angle. Buhari and his cabal never really wanted Tinubu from the beginning and his utterances during campaign and the naira saga with emefiele proves they really had an internal battle and the cabal truly wanted to throttle his campaign energy and make way for Atiku. Unfortunately for them obedient movement changed everything this. This verdict will determine the extent the cabals want Tinubu gone. To me, law is not the issue.

Obasanjo doesn’t want Tinubu. He even openly endorsed Obi.

TY Danjuma doesn’t want Tinubu. He co-signed the press statement of Northern Christian Elders in support of Obi.

Aliyu Gusau was one of the Chief strategists of Atiku.

IBB stated openly in a 2021 interview that Nigeria’s next president should be in his 60s; that already envisaged one. Tinubu is above 70.

Who then is Tinubu close to?

You know I was reflecting on this with someone last night and I did reflect on if the judges would have the balls.

But then I realized that once they sack Tinubu, that would be the end of it. There will never be a President Tinubu who would want to witch-hunt them for passing such judgment because they already consigned him to the dustbin.

The judges have absolutely nothing to fear. If anything, they know that they would be worshipped as heroes except they are not living in the same Nigeria with us.

They do.
These politicians have their receipts.

When they cleared Akpabio, Umahi, Lawan, Aliero and Yahaya, what do you expect?

They did then because there was a president Buhari who is still in power. But by May 26th, Buhari would be merely 48hrs away from power.

Again, I’m sure they feared Tinubu might win the election fair and square with no troubles around his election.

But seeing that Buhari is on his way out (48 hours is not enough to witch-hunt judges), and seeing that INEC fraudulently declared Tinubu, the judges might want to judicial activists and save Nigeria from a Tinubu disaster.

The next most likely persons to benefit from that judgment would be either Atiku or Obi.

Now, why would they fear harassment from Obi or Atiku?
