A BIT ANALYSIS OF TRIBUNAL OUTCOME
Sponsored Images
I can see that some Batists and even LP supporters do not understand what just played out over the last month in court.
To break it down so it’s clear.
These are PO n Atiku’s prayers.
All the prayers will be DETERMINED in the FINAL JUDGMENT.
(Brief Summary of prayers pleaded in court) :
- Eligibility
That It be determined that:
A) At the time of the Presidential Elections, 2nd & 3rd Respondents (Tinubu & Shettima) were unqualified to contest
What was tendered in court.
- BAT has multiple nationalities. Atiku’s witness presented his Guinean passport – Fact
Derisively BATs lawyer contended it had expired. Nationality does not expire with passports. - BAT committed perjury by submitting a Chicago University degree that was shown to be forged – Fact
- Tinubu Bola A. Who was admitted to CSU for a degree was shown to be a woman and American citizen – Notarized document shows the Tinubu Bola A. Is a woman and American citizen
Let the courts decide
Shettima was shown to have been nominated as VP, 4 days before he withdrew from the senate nomination.
- Most people who are unaware point to the Supreme Court Judgment in May 2023. That merely threw out the case on a technicality
The technicality was that PDP challenged it, as a pre-election matter (can only be done by a fellow APC candidate. PO n Atiku can only challenge it as a post election matter.
Let the PEPT tribunal decide this incontrovertible fact.
B) All the votes recorded to Tinubu were wasted due to qualification/disqualification of Tinubu and Shettima
- See above
C) On the basis of the remaining votes (after discountenancing Tinubu and Shettima) , Obi scored majority of the lawful votes cast in 2/3rd of the States And the FCT, therefor met the requirements to be declared winner
This proof was submitted in the documents and evidence filed before the PEPT. That was why INEC and APC fought their own CTC documents
LP lawyers submitted their written arguments n are not required to plead it in court. That’s why you never heard much about it. They only submitted INEC CTC of the forms EC8A, EC8B, EC8C,and EC8D to the burtress their asertions.
In addition, PO challenged the results of 32 states, including Abuja, where his votes were under counted.
Once these votes are fully allocated to him, and votes removed from BAT, it will become apparent he won the popular vote and met the spread requirements
2) 25% in Abuja
That it be determined that Tinubu failed to score 25% in the FCT and hence ought not to have been declared winner.
- Supreme Court in 2007 held that 25% of Abuja is a sine qua none. Thus, BAT n Atiku can not be declared as winners
3) In Alternate, a Fresh Election
Order the cancellation of the elections and order INEC to conduct a fresh one that Tinubu & Shettima shall not participate in
- This will only happen if BAT is disqualified and PO can not be declared absolute winner due to PO not meeting the spread (25% in 2/3 states).
Atiku can not be declared winner since he didn’t get 25% in Abuja*
4) Alternatively, they get elected by the majority of lawful votes cast
That it be determined that
A) That Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority. Therefore, his declaration as winner is unlawful, unconstitutional, and of no effect
B) Based on the valid votes cast, Obi scored the highest number of votes in 2/3rd of the States and the FCT and ought to be declared winner
C) An order directing INEC to issue Certificate of Return to Obi as duly elected President be issued
In Further Alternative to 1-4 Above:
5) Void
A) That the Presidential elections conducted on Feb 25th, 2023 is void on the grounds that it was not conducted in accordance to the Electoral Act 2022 and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended
- This was shown by INECs shenanigans
B)Order the cancellation of the Presidential Elections and order INEC to conduct fresh presidential elections.
Only comes in if PO can not be declared absolute winner. Only LP n PDP will contest this
I’ve taken my time to explain all this, as I can see most people are actually ignorant of what happened at the PEPT.
