Farooq, we entered a military junta in 2015. The courts are now a branch of the executive arm just like in 1984. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

In spite of the discrepancy between the official spelling of his name in his school certificate, about which he lied under oath that it was with military authorities instead of admitting that he had lost it, the Supreme Court said he was “eminently qualified” to stand for election.This is what you get when the judiciary becomes an appendage of the executive. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

This guy has shown by this article that he's apolitical. Despite his support for Atiku in the last election and his constant blizzards against Buhari's misrule, he's writing to defend David Lyon of APC. 15 Likes 1 Share |

The 5 different names is absurd but the punishment is too heavy,wisdom should have been that the supreme court should have only hit the deputy governor elect hard instead of giving APC mandate to PDP in bayelsa state. But I think the judges of the supreme court are not on the same page in case of imo election so they over react when bayelsa case come through Incorrupt judges would have let IMO emeka ihedioha be and protect Davido Lyon mandate. The day will allow Buhari to single handedly remove onnoghe and replace him with tanko that is the Genesis of all these judgment, they are now political supreme court judges.

Everything u wrote here are completely in order. Despite my bias in favour of PDP being in charge in Bayelsa, I honestly feel sorry for d Degi guy after reading this. My opinion about your writeup from now will be straight as I now believe that u are not only intelligent but apolitical and a master in churning out unbiased essays. I will read your columns more from now cos truly truth is infectious. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

SC is very very wrong on Bayelsa ruling and review. The way and manner the judges treats the review confirmed my suspicion that the judgement was bought. Is this the first review that SC Court is receiving? Why is it that this very review is the one that get the lead lawyers heavy fine of N30 million paid to the defendant? Did the defendant request for it? When has Supreme Court become Father Christmas awarding financial benefits to defendants without requesting for it? Why N30M and not N300k? Why should the fine starts with this Bayelsa review? Seriously, our Court should not destroy the basic of our electoral values where electorates decide who should rule them. Whether the electoral votes were manufactured, manipulated, etc is another case entirely, if petitioners cannot prove it was manipulated, like that of Imo Gubernatorial, it should be held valid. Making votes counts is the major responsibility of the Voters and INEC. Jega has help us, all votes as announced at the pooling unit is legally recognised as the authentic vote results. If Voters can stand firm and stand with their votes, it will result to announcing real votes (bought or natural conscience) or cancellation of entire result. It is more difficult to imposed/manipulate votes at pooling unit level if stakeholders (voters, party agents, traditional/community leaders, etc) are not compromised. In my personal opinion, the ground of disqualification in Bayelsa is total wrong based on the principle of tradition and patterns of life. Because, critically looking into that issues, in Nigeria context, such irregularities in names is common. It is not only common but also a significant trends of people in the age/generation category of the Deputy governor. It is evidently clear to all, including PDP, that the state overwhelming voted for APC. If the purpose of election is for people to choose their political leaders, then the Bayelsa judgment do not and never fulfil that purpose. The fair thing, in worst case scenario, is to allow the state to re-elect their political leader if the last one was not qualified in the eye of the law. The judgement do not give justice and fairness to the people of Bayelsa state and the review rulings was harsh/vindictive to the party who filed the review. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Why is this thread quiet like this. Are my fellow Ibo Muslims confused because their favourite Kperogi alluded to the fact that the lifeless one truly has a certificate or because he claimed that Bayelsa judgement was a miscarriage of justice Back to the topic , I really pity the Bayelsa APC guy tho. It's just like banning me for writing Igbo Muslims as Ibo Muslims or Igbo Muslims ... I'm sure that would be unjust and unfair 5 Likes 1 Share |
