The 1st Respondent (INEC) noted that they will not object to any of the documents but those from 3 States; Kogi, Adamawa one other state.

The other Respondents objected to almost all the documents.

As they resume today by 2pm, we'll know the headway with that petition.

Amina JSC of the Supreme Court in the PDP suit against Shettima held that the principles in Nwosu v APC (2019) cannot apply for 2 reasons:

1. That Nwosu was nominated by two parties
2. That Nwosu participated in two primaries but Shettima participated in one

I TOTALLY DISAGREE! Image
The provisions of S. 35, Electoral Act 2022 is in no different from S. 37, Electoral Act 2010 which applied to the Nwosu case.

ON THE FIRST REASON:
The law is clear that a CANDIDATE stands voided if he is nominated by:
a. More than one party
b. In more than one constituency... Image
It is clear by this provision that whether multiple nomination was done by multiple parties or done in multiple constituencies, such candidate stands voided and can never participate in an election.

Nwosu's case was in two parties, Shettima's case was in two constituencies...

Let's review the Supreme Court judgment of Adeleke and Oyetola...

Recall I told you that I won't make comments until I have digested the Judgment, however, for now, I'll work with the media reports.

I want the public to pay attention, but this attention is free of cost... Image
@thecableng reported that "The court further said that NO LAW REQUIRES PRESIDING OFFICERS TO TRANSMIT THE NUMBER OF ACCREDITED VOTERS or accreditation of the polls TO THE DATABASE or backend server of INEC by BVAS."

Let's probe the court's views in line with the law.

Follow me. Image
S.60(5), Electoral Act-EA provides that "The PRESIDING OFFICER SHALL TRANSFER the results INCLUDING TOTAL NUMBER OF ACCREDITED VOTERS (NAV) and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the Commission."

The law is unambiguous that the PO SHALL transfer Total NAV... Image
