obstead200:
this cannot be true. This is clearly a humourous campaign to discredit PO and make him look stupid.

It is a joke. His lawyers are far smarter than this

the guy does not need a campaign to look stupid. Everytime he opens his mouth he looks stupid.

Where is the fifth ground? Following the link in the post, I read the premium times article and I could see that one of the grounds is that BAT did not score the majority of lawful votes cast. That there is the ace.

Penguin2:


Why are you in a rush?

Wait, you will still get the full gist of Obi’s prayers in court.

Premium Times is just an extension of The Nations Newspaper. So don’t expect them to be unbiased in reporting anything about Peter Obi.

But one thing is sure, Tinubu will return the mandate he stole.

if na b4, this una comment go don get 200+ likes already
But e be like say reality don dey set in

deyplay:
InEc didn't allow him

Please explain.

I can’t still believe this all the principal has to petition. I still see it as not real maybe we should be waiting for real one

What about the fifth prayer point?

duro4chang:
Please explain.

he requested for INEC to give him the sensitive materials to investigate but INEC refused , so he can't add that one to the petition and can't wait for INEC or else he will miss the 21 days deadline to file for petition

Asgard13:
Hmmm

when is Atiku submitting his petition to the tribunal?

burp18:
I knew this idiot has no case.🤣

Absolutely. He has no case at all

famology:




The petition is a joke

Honestly. I want to believe they will add more prayers to it

OfoIgbo:


Don't give up at all. The PO legal team know exactly what they are doing.

You have to realise that INEC only gave the LP lawyers access to the election materials just a few days ago, and the legal team had to file something before their deadline for filing cases run out.

I'm sure that as I write, the LP machinery is sieving through the mountains of evidence, and may yet attach evidence of electoral fraud, once they identify enough. At the moment, I am pretty sure LP can prove massive electoral fraud in both Rivers and Lagos state presidential election exercise, but they have to bring in more fraud cases from more states, and that will not be difficult.

Remember that this is not the first time Obi is facing such an obstacle. These people know the process. Tinubu's team is worried now. Trust me.

I understand you are trying to keep your believe intact as an ardent supporter. However, if you can digest the principal prayer which asks the election be cancelled and fresh one held, you'll realise that your assertion of Obi having any concrete evidence of rigging or winning the election is a mere self consolation.

The principal prayer has nullified the stolen mandate argument.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
That Abuja 25% would nail Tinubu.Peter Obi is smart.Pdp would file case for rigging and none upload of results.Peter Obi covered other areas.Thats if this prayers are true becos premium times is pro apc.

Then which party will emerge winner.

What about the IRV?

Minjim:


How does No3 disqualified Tinubu.

You ppl should apply logic now

So if I keep winning the whole 36 states and Ikeep losing only Abuja, we will keep having a rerun?

that's why I am asking the question. Calm down, I am not the one who made the constitution 😁😁

SmartyPants:


No idea what you're talking about. Who mentioned illiterates?

As you didn't see any good logic in the petition prepared by 12 SANS, and deduced that Peter Obi is not smart, you literally saw the SANS and Peter Obi as illiterates; therefore Tinubu who did not attend Primary or Secondary school but acquired Chicago University degree through dubious means, is the educated one before you.

Beremx:
that's not true. Number 3 is the real deal. That alone has disqualified Tinubu.
My question is if eventually that number 3 disqualifies Tinubu, will another election be held only at FCT or there's going to be another round of elections nationwide?

Your question clearly shows why Petition -3 is a non-issue.

Beremx:
that's not true. Number 3 is the real deal. That alone has disqualified Tinubu.
My question is if eventually that number 3 disqualifies Tinubu, will another election be held only at FCT or there's going to be another round of elections nationwide?

Nationwide. But it will be between first and second alone.

If the person that wins the popular votes in the second round don't meet the 25% requirements, A third round of election will be conducted between the first and second alone. For the 3rd round, only a simple majority Will be required.

Masterito:
That's the 5th prayer the mischievous OP didn't post. OP said 5 prayers but posted 4.

Obi' files his petition with the following grounds and prayers:
GROUNDS AND PRAYERS OF THE PETITION

In the petition, Obi through his lawyer Livy Ozoukwu submitted that Tinubu “at the time of the (presidential) election was not qualified to contest the election”.

He further argued that the president-elect “was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the time of the election”.

Consequently, the petitioners are asking the tribunal to determine that all the votes recorded for Tinubu in the election “are wasted votes, owing to the non-qualification” of the president-elect and Shettima.

“That it be determined that the 2nd respondent ( Tinubu) having failed to score one-quarter of the votes cast at the presidential election in the federal capital territory, Abuja was not entitled to be declared and returned as the winner of the presidential election held on 25 February 2023,” the petitioner said.

Also, the petitioners have asked the tribunal to make “an order cancelling the election and compelling the 1st respondent (INEC) to conduct a fresh election at which the 2nd respondent (Tinubu), 3rd respondent (Shettima) and 4th respondent (APC) shall not participate”.

Just In: Peter Obi files petition to nullify Tinubu’s victory

The Labour Party (LP) and it’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have filed a petition challenging the victory of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president-elect in the February 25 election.

The petition was filed at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja on Tuesday, March 21.

The petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023, has the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Tinubu, his running mate, Senator Shettima and the APC as the 1st to 4th Respondents.

The petitioners are praying for the tribunal to declare that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.

They pray the court to cancel the February 25 presidential election and order a fresh poll.

Specifically, the petitioners alleged that at the time of the election, Tinubu was not qualified to contest.

They equally argued that the election was invalid by reason of corrupt practices and non-compliance with the provision of the Electoral Act, 2022.

Tuesday, being the 21st day since the declaration of the results of the election on 1 March, is the last day he as well as any other aggrieved candidates and political parties have to file their petition in court.

One obvious fact is that the level intellectual depth and critical thinking in this forum is very low...

The only thing most participants do here is fight defeatist ethnic supremacy battles with very little attention for objectivity...

It is trite that what is going to unfold will be a long, arduous legal skirmish...

You don't have the likes of Livi Uzukwu, Onyechi Ikoeazu, Jubril Okutepa, J Hong etc in your team and then begin to second guess and flinch...

Go first with overarching constitutional breaches before amending your prayers to include the low hanging fruits...

A marathon is not a sprint event....

This case will not pass 3rd quarter of this year before everything would be thrown out by Supreme Court.

Number 3 is the only sensible thing there.
Probably the situation room of the LP showed Tinubu actually won.

I give up!!

There is something the op withheld. The suit claimed that the apc candidate was note voted by majority of the [b]lawfu[/b]l votes cast. That word lalwful there means rigging.
