Retweet aggressively!
Please let’s all take a moment to appreciate Hon. @abdussamadd Member representing Tambuwal/ Kebbe Federal Constituency.
Reps like Dasuki who pay attention to details and see the urge to speak up are very rare. The man knows his onions.
If famed Nigerian human rights lawyer Femi Falana accuses Nigeria's ruling APC Party of manipulating the judiciary to try and bring about a one-party state by destroying the opposition, then the world should pay attention. Elections coming in months.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Attending the ECOWAS regional consultation on political participation and leadership of women and youth in West Africa- the meeting of experts in my capacity as the National Coordinator for Human Capital Development, Nigeria
ENDURING MESSAGE: “You will continue to suffer if you have a reaction to everything that is said to (or about) you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe, (smile) and allow things to pass.” - Warren Buffet, US Entrepreneur and Philanthropist. @warrenbuffet - Good morning, Nigeria!!
As Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar prepare to head to the Supreme Court, these are some important issues the Supreme Court will have to explain to Nigerians regarding the technical PEPT judgement.
Whether:
1. When a person is nominated by a political party, even in contravention of the Electoral Act, it is
non-justiciable to question such a nomination.
2. The only ground to question qualification for any candidate in an election would be the ground based on the Constitution of Nigeria like in Presidential election section 137 of the constitution and NO other!
3. One must be tried and convicted of a criminal offence in less than 10 years to be disqualified to be a candidate for an election.
4. Forfeitures as a result of money laundering related to narcotic trafficking is not a crime. Like Dizeine Madueke had not committed any crime in spite of several permanent forfeitures of her properties.
5. Non-compliance with INEC Regulations and Manuals will NEVER be a ground to question election outcome!
6. Section 70 of the Electoral Act did not make it MANDATORY for INEC to publish regulations for, among others, Recording and the COLLATION of results.
7. Public Pronouncements, press releases and announcements by INEC with regard to any election are meaningless and would not be relied on in any election.
8. Electronic transmission of Election result in whatever form is not warranted by the electoral act.
9. There is never any form of validation, verification, comparing or ascertain of election results from the Pus as envisaged in section 64(4) of the electoral act. Just agree with whatever INEC had declared and move on.
10. One must submit a petition accompanied with all the grounds, material facts ( paragraphs) and evidences. That any evidence submitted after the submission of petition is meaningless.
11. That even if evidences are made available to the adverse party and adverse party cross-examine witnesses or documents as the case maybe, it is still viewed by the “learned” judges as constituting ambush.
12. The idea that INEC is lawfully mandated to give access within 14 days of election to parties in election dispute is meaningless and will not be reckoned by the tribunal.
13. That our electoral laws recognise only Resident Electoral Commissioner for the purposes of election materials and not the Chairman of INEC.
14. That the judgement of the court appeal asking INEC to preserve the data in the BVAS machine in a safe storage system while reconfiguring the BVAS machine has no potency and must not be considered in view of the judges calling for the tendering of BVAS machine in court. That INEC certified copies of accreditation information is not enough?
15. That agreements reached between litigants in the presence of the judges and in court whereby they agreed never to question Certified True Copies by INEC amounted to nothing?
16. That Certified True Copies are no longer “ copies of original in my custody”
17. The subpoenas issued by courts to individuals/corporates to bear witnesses or to provide documents are no longer at the instance of the courts. That is to say a subpoenaed witness or document is not a witness or document of the court.
18. That estoppel is live even if those not parties in the earlier case are involved!
19. That section 137 of the Electoral Act, that barred oral witnesses in proving non-compliance if Certified copies or original documents are available, is NONSENSICAL!
20. That Electoral Act 2006 and 2010 are still in force as the “learned” judges kept quoting. Electoral Act 2022 is effectively repealed.
21. That determination of election petition must be based Procedural justice ( aka Technical), instead of substantive Justice ( Justice conceptualised in ethics and philosophy that focuses on the fairness and morality of the outcomes or results of a particular action, policy, or decision.)
Sabinus was my guy until he mocked Nigeria and I have never watched his videos since then, Dan Bello has also gone overboard.
Nigeria is the only country we have, mock us and we come for your papa and grandpapa heads 🤷♂️
