The Difference Which Settled The Matter:

In the Case of Hajia Aisha Jumai Alhassan, she was able to prove her case with relevant documents and testimonies from the INEC official that there that the purported primary election that threw up Darius Ishaku was held in total breach of the constitution and electoral act:

See excerpt of the verdict: In the instant case, the tribunal said that there was overwhelming evidence that PDP in Taraba State did not do any primary election that could have led to emergence of anybody as a sponsored candidate.

The tribunal recalled the evidence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on subpoena during the hearing of the petition when the Commission claimed that it has no record of any primary election by PDP in Taraba State whereas Section 85 of the Electoral Act made it mandatory that INEC must be given 21 days notice of a convention or a primary where candidates are to be nominated for election.

However in the case of PDP Trazon, he was not able to prove his case beyond doubt that the primary election that brought up the APC Ortom was not held in compliance with the electoral act (as amended)

Hear the Judge "She went further to point out that the petitioner failed to provide valid evidences to show that the APC did not hold its primaries as required by law.

According to her, the petitioners witness (one) made mockery of the Tribunal by presenting to it a report of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on the APC primaries which was not written on an INEC letter headed paper nor signed by the relevant persons"


So what's all these noises about "double standards" in the two cases??

[quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=39807853]It is very clear that the Benue state tribunal was BIAS in its ruling.

1. There was NO Governorship primary of the APC that was held on or before December 11, 2014. All they had was an arrangement inside the parlour of George Akume which other candidates REJECTED. See the Nation's report...
"Chief Ortom emerged after other governorship aspirants stepped down for him at the end of a close door meeting brokered by the senate minority leader, Senator George Akume, in Makurdi."

2. In fact, other FIVE aspirants rejected the arrangement.http://www.leadership.ng/news/394871/benue-apc-primaries-5-guber-aspirants-reject-ortom

3. No delegate was present nor participated in the sham as required by section 78(b)(I) of the Electoral Act. For the record...

Section 78 (b) (1)(2) of the Electoral Act states: In the case of nomination to the position of Governorship candidate, a political party shall where they intend to sponsor candidates:

(i) hold special congress in each of the Local Government Areas of the States with delegates voting for each of the aspirants at the congress to be held in designated centres on specified dates.

(ii) the aspirant with the highest number of vote at the end of the voting shall be declared the winner of the primaries of the party and aspirant’s name shall be forwarded to the commission as the candidate of the party, for the particular state.

4. No INEC official monitored the primary election/f®audulent arrangement by APC. This contravenes section 85 of the Constitution

This issue was RAISED by PDP candidate but INEC working with APC was silent on it.

6. The tribunal Judge failed to look at the merit of the argument but dwelt on technicalities. It ask the PDP to prove that there was NO primary election. But in the Taraba case no such was demanded.

7. Both cases are of similar magnetude. While INEC was quick to point out that they never monitored any Taraba PDP primary election, they kept quiet in the case of Benue.


We shall not relent in our drive to reclaim our stolen mandate in Benue and Taraba states. The Judiciary terrorism by APC, Buhari and corrupt judges shall be resisted. This is pure Judicial Terrorism perpetrated by the unholy group called APC.

APC plan to set Nigeria on fire through its well written scrip will only further divide Nigeria and compound its current political and economic challenges.

As for Division, we already know those miscreants calling for division, and they have nothing to do with APC .

On the other hand, where the Tribunal or Court determines that the candidate who was returned as elected did not score majority of valid votes at the election, it shall declare the candidate with the highest valid votes as elected.

APC hidden script on how to capture Nigeria and turn it to one party state is in the cyberspace.

Even if you order a re-run, PDP will not participate because their candidate was illegally selected and the time for Primaries (selection of candidates) is long gone. Also for holding the Primary in Abuja, all the aspirants in PDP are automatically disqualified.
