SUMMARY REPORT OF THE PETITION: EPT/AN/SHA/15/2023 BETWEEN HON UCHE OKAFOR AND HON BENARD ABUCHI UDEMEZUE & 2 ORS


PETITIONER(Hon Uche Okafor), Lead Counsel Chief Emeka Agbapuonwu Esq

IST RESPONDENT (Hon Benard Abuchi Udemezue), Lead Counsel Chief Arthur Obi Okafor SAN

2ND RESPONDENT (INEC), Lead Counsel Ekemezie Obidigwe Esq

3RD RESPONDENT (PDP), Lead Counsel Hon Clems Ezika Esq

Recall that Rt Hon Uche Okafor former speaker Anambra State House of Assembly lost his third term bid to a 30years old Boy Hon Benard Abuchi Udemezue the current member representing Ayamelum constituency.

Former Speaker Anambra State Hon Uche Okafor spent 8years in the house of Assembly without any constituency project in his local govt and still contested for 3rd term against the wish of his people and he failed woefully because of his poor performance and zoning agreement in Ayamelum local govt Area of Anambra State,
Hon Benard Abuchi Udemezue polled a total of 12,993 to defeat speaker who got 11,455.

After the election Hon Uche Okafor filed a petition challenging the outcome of the election on the ground that the election was not in compliance with electoral Act 2022, and that the Respondent was not elected by the lawful votes cast, ( that there were multiple thumbprinting of ballot papers in Omor 1 2 3,) and the petitioner vowed to thwart the choice of the masses at the tribunal by all cost despite the fact that the election was free and Fair, funny enough they were unable to prove their petition and allegations since in an election petition, the onus of proof lies on the petitioner.

The petitioners called 2 star witnesses and 9 other witnesses and close their case.

The two star witnesses are the petitioner and his forensic expert, their evidence bordered on multiple thumbprinting of ballot papers in Omor ward 1,2, 3, but they failed to prove their allegations in the cost of trial.

During cross examination, the forensic expert report was not tendered because the respondent's counsel raised an objection that it was not pleaded and as well not served on any of the respondent and their objection was upheld by the tribunal.

During the cross examination of Pw2, the witness agreed with the Ist Respondent counsel submission that ballot papers have serial numbers and also acknowledged the fact that he did not include the serial number of the ballot papers in his report, the Respondent counsel equally established the fact that the identity of a ballot is tied to their serial numbers, and as a result of that it will be very difficult to identify thumbprint of ballot papers without their serial number, which implies that the forensic expert did a faulty report since he fails to include the serial number of the ballot papers which is an essential in ingredients in proving multiple thumbprinting of ballot papers.


Also in the cost of cross examination, the Respondents counsel also established the fact that the expert witness was paid for the job he did and as well if the expert was called by the respondent that he will still give report in favour of the respondent because his company operates like every other company for purpose of profit making.

At the cost of cross examination it was also extablished that the expert witness does not know the number of polling units in Omor 1,2,3 and as well he did not specify each polling units in his report showing that he didn't carry out his research very well.

The petitioner futher called Nine witnesses who made allegations in the their Written deposition that agents from Omor 1,2,3 chased voters away from the polling units and thugs forced INEC staff to do accreditation without voting but the witnesses failed to prove those allegations as they have nothing to show that such a thing happened.

They did not have photo or video to prove their allegations and they did not make any complaint to police or INEC with respect to those allegations.

So from the evidence before the court the petitioner fails to prove his case against the respondent and tribunal is likely to dismiss the petition and award a punitive cost against the petitioner for wasting the time of the honourable tribunal.

[[s]quote author=Miracle112 post=111536026]Oil production has increased domestically since 2020, the problem is OPEC and Russia have decreased their production while demand has risen.
Thank president Trump for the reserves. He bought up oil when it was cheap.

By the way.. I have a standard unisex saloon for sale located at very busy junction in Portharcourt.
Very standard with up to date facilities.

Stop posting rubbish trash.
The US govt have been buying and saving oil in the reserve before TRAMP ever thought of running for us President.

Trump refilled it, cos the reserve was almost less than half... So wat the guy u replied said is absolutely correct.

It was trump that filled up the reserve again, during the time the price of gas was extremely low.
But many are not going to remember this.

Illiterate Biden again

After two weeks, Americans will return to this situation, I hope he won't empty all the reserves in US.

Senile old man

He may be saying the truth, if the other guy said he does not know him then something is wrong with the timing and info of the arrest.......... Follow the story from the beginning and you will understand

Exactly what I wanted to say... What if he was forced to get initiated while going to church that morning? For the fact the other guy said he doesn't know the SUG president means he is telling the truth. Sometimes the police give false reports to make suspects guilty without appropriate investigation.

Don't mind him jare. California as a state which is almost the size of Nigeria have 4 major Seaports.
With multiple number of minor Seaports ports that I cannot give exact number of. Also have more than 10 international Airports with more than 50 Interstate/City Airports.
And the guy u replied was blindly comparing Nigeria with Alaska that is not a Residential State.

Reference:


Okay, since you want to do size jockeying, lets go there. First, why not compare country with country. Why compare Nigeria with a remote wilderness state of the USA. What is the population of Alaska. How many cars drive on Alaskan streets through the year. Let me have my take. Nigeria has a landmass of 356,000 sq kilos, Japan has just 145,000. Our population is 200 million, Japan's is 126 million. They have 18 major, functional, heavy cargo and roro ports and over 100 minor ports (mainly for trawlers and coastal freight).

Outside Tincan and Apapa which other port in Nigeria can you say is viable if considered from a commercial standpoint. And I donot refer to Onne because this is trade specific to the oil industry. I know this because I have consulted for a port task force in the past. Apapa and Tincan account for 80 percent of all cargo throughput. Why.?

How can a country develop like this. It is like the government directs all international flight through MMA exclusively. What do you think will happen to the cost of doing business. That is why we are not competitive as a country. That is why the needless long queues at Apapa, the gridlock, corruption, appalling infrastructure and wasteful demmurage incured which causes inflation in its own right.

Please, apart from fishing and solid minerals Alaska has nothing to offer. Don't you EVER compare Nigeria with Alaska. It is insulting to the long suffering Nigerian citizen that has to put up with one visionless and inept government after another who simply cannot see the need to diverisfy this economy and more importantly the tools of development of which ports and sea transport is key.

Weldone, continue in your blind rush to the basement because of parochial, selfish interests.

US have more than 40 Seaports, he just mentioned the cheapest for shipping Cars to Nigeria.
My State California have 4 Seaports. Be Guided

nextstep:
See 11 whole ports. Nigeria is still mucking around with only Apapa...

US have more than 40 Seaports, he just mentioned the cheapest for shipping Cars to Nigeria.
My State California have 4 Seaports

Reference:
And they end up in just one port in Nigeria....can you see how hopeless we are in this country...
