PETER OBI & LP VS INEC, APC, BOLA TINUBU & KASHIM SHETTIMA – PT 16
Obi’s petition is based on 4 Grounds:
- Ground 1: Tinubu was not qualified to contest the election.
- Ground 2: The election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu was invalid by reason of corrupt practices or non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.
LP & Obi’s petition paragraphs 40, 41, 42 & 43 reads: Based on the accreditation process, the voter meets an INEC agent who then request for the voter’s PVC. If the voter doesn’t have it, he will not be allowed to vote; but if the voter has a PVC, the INEC agent will do the following (describes the accreditation process with BVAS step by step).
After complying with the verification process, the verified voter will be further scrutinized before voting. The voter cannot be allowed to vote if the BVAS fails to identify them. After the accreditation and casting of votes by voters, the Presiding Officer will count the votes at the Polling Unit and enter the votes scored by each candidate in the INEC Form EC8A. Then the Presiding Officer signs and stamps the form followed by candidates or their Polling Agents to sign if available.
INEC’s reply: We state that INEC Manual for Election Officials 2023 sets out detailed guidelines on the use of BVAS for accreditation of Voters (explains the step-by-step process of BVAS accreditation). We will prove at trial that the role of the BVAS in the accreditation process is for verification and authentication of the Voter’s details, and the primary source of accreditation remains the Voter’s Register for each Polling Unit, which is resorted to after the Voter’s PVC has been verified and the voter has been authenticated using BVAS. We admit that if the BVAS fails to authenticate or verify a voter, they won’t be allowed to vote. We also admit to the role of the Presiding Officer after accreditation and voting in each Polling unit.
APC’s reply: (No response to paragraphs 40-43 found in the document).
Tinubu & Shettima’s reply: We want LP & Obi to prove their statements in paragraphs 33-44. Furthermore, we state that the accreditation, voting, sorting, counting, recording of votes announcement/declaration of results and collation of results of an election under the Electoral Act, 2022 is a hybrid of manual and technological components but still largely manual with significant human interface using the voters register, ballot papers, ballot boxes, various electoral forms, ink and the BVAS machine.
do you struggle with loving yourself? as in, connecting to the source of love that is already present within yourself? if yes, in what ways are you finding it challenging?
If you had a parent that 'kept the peace' while another parent was abusive or emotionally explosive, you learn to tolerate dysfunction as love.
Here's why:
remember, ur life should revolve around those who stay, who wanna love u and who genuinely care abt u. forget the ones who break their promises and who show u no compassion. it’s harsh to say and it hurts to think abt. but u have to give all ur energy to those who are real w/ u.
i no longer sabotage my being by ignoring signs that validate my intuition, i no longer risk poisoning my intentions by choosing to look the other way when my self worth is waving me down, i no longer send my gut feelings to voicemail when my angels are calling, i allow it all.
It's funny how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn't live without, and then we fall in love with what we didn't even know we wanted. Life keeps leading us on journeys we could never go on if it were up to us. Don't be afraid. Have faith, find the lessons. Trust the journey.
Introverts are not quiet, they just prefer peace over everything else. Soul-less conversations drain the heck out of them. Talking about the weather??? I mean, seriously, what's the point. Ask them about life, out of body meditation, banned books. Now you have their attention.
Ori prayer reminder! You got nothing to lose when you pray to yourself but so much more to gain! Give your higher self an opportunity to show up for yourself.
the paths that were difficult for you to walk on are smoothing out, the doubt that tied your feet together is slowly fading away, the fear that slowed your progress down is now leaving to make room for love, you’re exactly where you need to be to attract the things you deserve.
Women are conditioned to be “good” girls and put everyone else’s comfort before their own. This behavior is reinforced when we call kids easy or mature for their age. Being rewarded for putting everyone else’s needs before our own sets us up to be chronic people pleasers. Then, we wake up at 30 and wonder why being a “good” girl feels so miserable.
DO NOT tell ppl everything that you have goin on in your life…. Relationships, ideas, next moves, etc!!!!! Only let people know what they need to know and that’s still very MINIMUM!!! Remember one day they can be FOR YOU and the next day they can flip a!!!
Introverts have a close group of friends. Like 2 people. That's all they need. They don't like to go out much. Or talking. They're happy staying in. Chilling, reading and all. Enjoying shit they like. They don't care what's happening in the world. Their mind is their world.
the most beautiful connections manage to read the energy of the room you’re in without being in your vicinity, they sense imbalances in your spirit regardless of proximity, they see you beyond the veil you put up for protection, they recognize the real you even when you don’t.
