The court only tossed PDP’s double nomination suit, that has nothing to do with Obi. Obi will reclaim his mandate and become President of Nigeria, as God as my witness.

Which court is God appearing as your witness?

The Justices didn't "judge" the case. They only said PDP has no ground to bring up such petition, which is right.

However, PDP and LP has the grounds to bring it up at the Tribunal. There's no way out for Tinubu and INEC.
Did you go to school at all? Just listen to yourself. Let's go bt your scenario that they can bring it to the Tribunal and the case goes to Supreme Court, Will the decisions be different. It seems Obifool has scammed all of you to the extent that you people can't reason on your own.

Is Obi authentic candidate of Labour party?

He only joined Labour party 11days to their primary as against the electoral laws which stipulates 30days membership before primary.

Let obidients remove the log in their eyes first before pointing fingers to the specs in APCs own.

Interpretation of Supreme Court judgment on Double nomination by Amaechi Ekwe, Esq:

1. Double nomination falls under Non- qualification of a candidate under section 134 (a) of Electoral Act, 2022 and, is also one of the grounds you can challenge an election through Election Petition.

2. Non qualification or double nomination of a candidate can be challenged by a person within the Party that nominated the candidate and also a person who is from another politcal party or another politcal party itself.

3. Double nomination can be challenged before or after Election (if it is before Election, we call it "pre Election matter" and if it after the Election we call it "post Election matter"wink.

4. If you are challenging double nomination or non-qualification of a candidate before the election (Pre Election matter) then, you have to be a member of the politcal party that nominated the candidate you are challenging. An external person cannot challenge it before the election because it is at that time an internal affair of the party that nominated him.

5. But if it is after Election, any other candidate from another politcal party or another politcal party itself can now challenge it through Election Petition under non- qualification. At this time, it is called non- qualification of such candidate. You incorporate it in your Election Petition. That is what LP did.

Shettima's non-qualification will still be raised again in the Supreme Court by Peter Obi and Supreme will still have to determine it again in Peter Obi's Petition. Shettima has not gone scot free. The double nomination will still rear its ugly head again.

But PDP did not wait for the election to come before they challenged the double nomination, that is why Supreme Court threw their case out because at that time, it was an internal affairs of APC; it did not concern PDP or any other party at that time. It is after the election that other candidates or other politcal parties can competently challenge it which is what Labour Party did. Peter Obi and his team are Election Petition gurus!

Seriously you are the only one in the whole thread that's saying something sensible. Well, everyone have to be making peace with the fact that masses votes don't count. Let me wait for the proponents of go and get your PVC in the next 4 years. Even if I am not in the country I will be opposing then with fire and brimstone.

No hope for Nigeria.

From today's court ruling; in other words, next election (if there will ever be); a party can nominate any candidate who can win elections for it as presidential candidate, governorship candidate, senatorial candidate, HoR candidate, State Assembly election candidate. The candidate wins all the posts for the political party.

If anyone who is not from the party complains, the complainant is an interloper, busybody, and stranger to the party therefore has no right to complaint even though he has a lot to lose from the action of multiple candidacy for an aspirant.
Nigeria's going to the drains.

None whatsoever.

The greatest loss however is that no lessons will be learnt, no reforms are likely to be undertaken and so the 2027 elections are likely to be worse.

The reality of the now is that the aggrieved parties should begin to transit into proper political opposition.

That will be the only benefit to Nigeria of all this drama.

There's nothing much opposition can do other than mere talk and media noises. The bad side is election will one day become war of attrition in this country since judiciary, INEC can't be trusted to do the right thing.

Hello Obi supporters,
there is no mandate anywhere, you have been scammed!

I do not know what most of you think or understand but for someone like me, I have never relied on the planks of Atiku running for a post concurrently or even the US narcotic case, no. Those are easily discardable. i am not even interested in the technicality of BVAS and all. I am only interested in the interpretation of the relevant section of the law which suddenly confers the status of a state to Abuja in matters of election when there is no such express provision in the law of the land. In its simplest form, the law is that expressio unius est exclusio alterius. If this be case, how can what is not written be read into what is written, I struggle to understand it. Beyond the simple Literal rule of interpretation as known in law, perhaps someone wants to extend it to the mischief rule, I will want to know how both rules of interpretation will suddenly interpret AND to mean anything other than a conjunctive term. How this is interpreted will benefit us as lawyers and law students alike and will improve our legal jurisprudence especially in the area of statutory interpretations.

Can a sitting president be removed if his election is voided, Lord Denning did say in his famous dictum in McFoy Vs UAC that...Nihil non exspectanl aedificare stare...You cannot put something on nothing and expect it to stand. So yes, a sitting president can and has been removed even in fledgling democracies like that of the US. Whether the Nigerian justices can do same if they find a gap in the law will yet be seen, Whichever way the argument goes, we all know that law is made by men and interpreted by men for the use of men. It will be better to tell us that on grounds of public policy, they want BAT to continue in power than to stand the law on its head.
