Atiku's head needs to be cheked.

Kingspal:
Says who sir?

And in which section of the law. And paragraph what?

Are you lawyer?

I think you should try get SC rulings during last election verdicts. They made pronouncement that made it so difficult to upturn an election in Nigeria.
Also, go through Agbakoba and Fálànà submissions too. During Buhari and Yar'adua case, the SC court even acknowledged that truly substantial rigging was proven, but it wasn't enough to upturn the election result.
Aregbesola relied on video evidence mostly to defeat Oyinlola, then gubernatorial cases end at C of A, this led to some issues within the judiciary and law was amended to make the gubernatorial end at SC.
During last election, SC court opined that a witness can only defend a video as he can't be at 2places at the same time, meaning you need a minimum of 1witness per PU, therefore, you can't assume that because 20 of 25PU in a ward was rigged, then the other 5 was also rigged and must therefore be discarded.
Let's fold our hands and watch as things progress, I know I'm gonna enjoy myself with the legal battle sha

kris4luv01:

He did not say he has 400 witnesses. He said he has more than 400 witnesses. try to read between the lines

Is the difference much? Over 400 witnesses means less than 500 witnesses.i can approximate or round it up to 400.it is still not enough.wild goose chase

I dont know why these atiku fans dont seem to understand this salient point

Solexgzy:
so 20 SANs doesnt know the requirements
for petition. Your case is different

Is it all sans that are expert at law ? Do you realize that most of those sans are not expert in election cases

Zsquare:


Please which Supreme Court Election rule says it's all about quantity and not quality?

Judicial System deals with facts and one fact can nullify a 100 theories. Don't you know one testimony with video evidences can nullify a state and imagine if such states are Kano, Maiduguri, Yobe, etc. Some "org" said drones were used to monitor the election so such situations can bring facts. Besides Atiku is only raising questions on the results of some places and not the whole Country!

My point is that those places he's raising,are there enough to nullify the whole polls

cjrane:


Atiku won the election clearly.

Buhari just stole the man's mandate because he controls the army and INEC.

This is the first time in history of Nigeria that a President didn't even bother to rig at the polling unit level. He merely used INEC to award himself "landslide" victory figures by simply writing numbers for himself at the collation level, regardless of how the people voted at the polling stations.

So when results were pouring in from the polling units and buhari was massively leading,where were you ? So you didnt see the polling unit results of atiku,buhari and Adams ?

A legal practitioner, Robert Clarke Clarke, says the vote President Muhammadu Buhari got from the northern part of the country cannot be challenged in court.

He stated this on Sunday while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

The Senior Advocate noted that Buhari enjoys the goodwill from the northern people because of what he described as the ‘President’s track records’.

“Look at the presidential election, nobody can challenge the number of people who voted for President Buhari in the north because there is a track record.

“In 2003, Buhari beat any other candidate in the north, in 2007 he beat any other candidate in the north, in 2011 he beat any other candidate in the north, (same in) 2015. So in 2019, if you look at his performance when you look at his performance, there is a footprint.” He stated.

His comments come two weeks after the People Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, inaugurated his legal team to challenge the result of the just concluded presidential election.

Prior to the setting up of the team headed by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr Livy Uzoukwu, Atiku had rejected the result, alleging several malpractices including the use of the military to perfect voters’ intimidation and suppression in PDP strongholds.

He had also accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of conniving with INEC officials and security agents to fabricate “bogus figures and outright falsification of the returns from the polling units”.

The PDP candidate, thereafter, said he would use all available legitimate means to challenge the result of the election.

But Clarke stressed that he would have advised Atiku against challenging the result if he was his (Atiku’s) lawyer.

According to him, an aggrieved loser at an election should show that the election was riddled with malpractice before succeeding at the tribunal.

“Let’s be honest. The criteria for challenging an election is three-fold. When you go to an election petition, you must first of all show that the election was riddled with malpractice.

“After bringing out the malpractice, you must show that those malpractices affected the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“If I were Atiku’s lawyer, I would have told him that it not easy to challenge an election that has given someone four million votes because when we look at the five states of the southeast, the totality of all the states is not up to half, two million votes of what Buhari (got) not to talk of four million,” he stated

Na lawyers wan chop Atiku dollars now, its allegedly stolen money after all.

No tribunal can save you Atiku, you have lost this election already, there was rigging but it wasnt enough to sway the outcome of the elections.

Thats the best the tribunal will tell you, I am telling you in advance so dont waste your money.

I dont know why these atiku fans dont seem to understand this salient point

Most just love sentiment, let's wait and see.
Another issue is the swearing in date, that might also affect the constitution.
At the end, you will hear judgement like in national interest, the election remains valid, just like Buhari and Yar'adua.
I'm only interested in the tribunal process, I don't really see any groundshaking verdict in favour of Atiku.

Who is giving him hope na?

Amitez:


Your level of ignorance is first class. All Atiku needs to do nullify results from 5 - 6 critical states (Kano, Bornu, Jigawa, Bauchi, Lagos and Gombe) and Buhari is finished. The 400 witnesses do not necessarily have be be polling agents, could be LGA collation agents who are in possession of original polling units results or evidence of evasion of the use of the card readers for accreditation. It is left for APC and INEC to prove that accreditation were done with card readers, otherwise, those votes are NULL AND VOID.

Any rigging at collation centre is fraud, like se saw in Bauchi where 2,533 was changed to 25,330 Card reader has rendered collation centre rigging outdated and all those who stole people's mandate at collation centres are living on fool's paradise. This was why Jonathan respected himself and coeded to Buhari because, if you cannot rig at Polling unit, you are done for. The card reader with date stamp can easily validate the number of accredited voters and that should match the votes counted and recorded.

The law is no respecter of anybody, hence Rivers APC could not present a candidate. One would have thought that with Buhari as President, he could manipulate the judiciary. The same is already happening to Omo-Agege in Delta now. That one cannot go to the senate until the judgement is successfully appealed.

Your dumbness has no class.you are empty just like your colleagues.if you have been following election cases at the apex court,you will realize that your witnesses must have been involved directly at the polling units and you must cover a significant number of polling units to demand cancelation.where were you when the supreme court ruled that the card reader is alien to our laws and that no elections can be cancelled based on its non usage? You see you are the ignorant one.our laws specifically states that burden of proof is on the petitioners not defendants,atiku team must prove that the elections was not in compliance with our rules.another evidence of your stark ignorance .if you cancel elections from the six critical states you mentioned,atiku will still be trailing,you talk too much trash.
Finally,a federal high court last year upheld the agege faction therefore this new ruling is null and void.moreover,he can always get a stay of execution and only a supreme court ruling will decide.you are far behind.you just stressed me for nothing,if you have been keeping up to political happenings you wont utter this gibberish.try and keep yourself regularly updated.

The way they deployed 40m agents

yarimo:
ATIKU if you like line up 400 Maurice IWU as witness, you are not going back to ASO rock in any capacity.

E go shock you!!

tuniski:

Leave the matter after all, only one person's statement led to the withholding of Okorochas' certificate of return and, one person led to the uturn in bauchi. Witnesses are rated.

The way you guys reason sometimes is really poor.
We're talking about election petition tribunal, you're talking about INEC decision. This is a court for crying out loud.
You guys are too emotional that's why you can never learn anything. So you think 400 witnesses will upturn a presidential result?
Many governorship election petition cases have witnessed more than 1,000 testifiers without any success. By the time these 400 witnesses come under intense cross examination more than half will be crumbled. Are you kidding me?400 witnesses for a presidential election? Nonsense!

senatordave1:

That's where the issue is, a witness can only testify about event in a PU(according to SC), the number of witnesses must have a significant effect on the testimony, 400+ is insignificant in about population size of 170000+, that is less than 5%, SC will not cancel such election even if rigging is clearly proven.


This is where me and you usually get into a squabble.there are a lot of things you obviously dont,you dont know much about election petition cases and you claim to know when you are empty.you dont ever accept your limitations.the supreme court and the constitution had established how election cases cam be proven,its not about quality but quantity.it can only be established polling unit by polling unit and each unit is treated specially.atiku has failed

It's safe to say that you know better than Atiku and his legal team..
clap for yourself!!

Your desperate can not yield any convincing reward,it's better you concede defeat as virtual and gain some integrity as statesmanship.

tuniski:


Were you expecting 176000 witnesses or critical witnesses? Abegi it is not by number but quality of witnesses.

He has to get minimum of witnesses from half of the polling units across the nation. The 400 is too meager and cannot test the water. The petition would be thrown out outrightly for lack of merit.

this atiku dey desperate to come sell nnpc.atiku you don fail,you don fail.nigerians don't want you.

ihatesycophant:

Not so fast, allow him too prove his case. He might not be targeting the PU but, the collation points with hard evidence of alterations/falsifications.

Let me ask you; between gathering 100k Witnesses at PUs and/or 100s collation officers as witnesses with evidence of alteration, which is more potent?

You guys are very poor in deduction! Again, should a State collation officer step forward to recant results declared in a state as being doctored,that is beyond gathering the electorate of the state as witnesses.

Case of widespread malpractice requires significant proportion of the electoral constituency while falssification/alteration of result in the first instance requires event/happenings at collation points which are very small.

Again, the case might be targeted at specific states to wipe out opponent's victory margins.

Just allow the case to roll no need to agitate. It is democracy and the rule of law.

You're too dull,that's your problem. I remember how you failed with all your analysis here during the just concluded elections.i also remember telling you about the tsunami that was about to occur in kwara and how you insulted me.i promised to call you out after the results but i just decided to allow sleeping dogs lie.you disturbed everywhere with your Atiku victory b4 the election and was thrashed, now you've started another journey to no where.How you don't manage to see your defeat after several other defeats is just a testament of how politically naive you're. Hope you learn someday!

Yes oh,according to supreme court rulings,you need evidences per unit.there's no quality here.its a fruitless case

The 400 could come from polling units where he lost. Most especially Kano state.

He does not need a witness where he won.

So cancelling kano will make him winner or make the court cancel the polls

Indifferences in few polling units cannot render an election invalid. Supreme court had made decisions on that. We're talking of roughly 170000 polling unit and someone contesting less than 500. It's insignificant.
