That is why Nigeria is back word today , having an elders that turn the truth upside down , Nigeria can not progress under this type of elders we have today sorry but its fact.
Which Truth are you talking about?
Go and research on how to test for Truth to know that your personal opinion or your feelings do not represent the truth.
Why don't you ask your candidate why he will claim he was rigged out of election in the public and on in the media yet you went to court without facts but expecting BAT to be disqualified on technicalities for you to win; is that your Truth?
You need Help Urgently. You lack the morals to impung EMINENT ROBERT CLERK SAN. Go and carry out research about him before you start insulting a man who haven't done any wrong. Law is law. The Law have no business with Sentiments and emotions even Heaven will fall .
Clark is an experienced lawyer. Obi is just playing to the gallery to make the masses feel their mandate was denied by the court. The court is not a father Christmas and can not do your job for you.
If he (Obi) doesn't play to the gallery, the LP mob will crucify him - and this is one of the dangers of dealing with mob.
The truth is bitter for obi or atiku supporters.
The devil's truth, am sure you mean. If people with human conscience could celebrate what is going on in this country now because it favors you, then there is serious need for spiritual and moral deliverance of the whole nation. What a perverted people, what a perverted nation?
They will always come with emotional argument and blackmail. The law doesn't care about your feelings.
Wakeup from your slumber, Obi lost
@@Omojoy4sure, who made that law? Was there any Referendum to ratify that law? Na was for the naijans.
LAST LAST EVRY BODY GO CHOP 2 CUPS OF RICE FOR FUEL SUBSIDY PALLIATIVE 😂😂😂
@@ifechinwadi9418 the authority that issued you a Nigerian passport before you left, if you are abroad, made the law.
The authority that made naira , that money you are running around looking for made the law .
If is so in F c t, why do u need to get credit in English language to gain admission in university even if u get 8As in other subjects.
This example is not subjected to interpretation but the electoral law and constitution are not subjected to interpretation by the public but by the judiciary. Do you understand now?
This former lawyer once said he needs money at this old age of his that his legal opinion would cost money if needed by any one, now I believe he is been given some cash to come arise tv and talk nonsense.
Senseless comment
You are crazy!!
As for me , the judges has explained vehemently to the public, that if you have a court case, always have a proof to back your self and screened witnesses to back it up.
Don’t worry as the judgment has favoured you, tomorrow the same judgement could favour someone else.
Those results printed out from the IREV and Bvas are they not evidence that can back up a case?
After spending more than 350 billion naira to introduce electronic devices into our electoral system, a judge will stand up and dispelled it within a twinkle of an eye.
I only pity some of my siblings and relatives I left in Nigeria.
Whatever happens in Nigeria today, doesn’t concern me.
21days to pulling in witness from 174k polling units with all the results they emselves recorded....
Which records is more authentic that the approved satisfied ctc by inec ... u waste all these time manage to provide 80k polling units agents of from your party with 80k reports....please be sincere , when will the court finish this trial? This is just if one party is challenging...in this case u have 3 parties..pdp, Lp, Apm. So imagine 80k atleast or say 50k polling units of 50k each polling units agents... that's total of 150k witness 😳...when will tribunal finish this case ...can 180days be enough? ARE WE READY TO GIVE JUSTICE ⚖️ TO THOSE KILLED , AND FRUAD DONE ON ELECTION DAY.
So u think that lp didn't have proved be desiving ur self
@@mikkelsany1380 do you even know what is prove or evidence according to the law. Please go and listen to the judges words again, and don't allow your emotions slay you
@sunnyugwuegbulam5193 why thief no go support thief u and clark
Lawyers just havervest obi and atiku and may do so again. Elder thank you those lawyers need to go to school again
Like I said before, Robert Clarke (like many Nigerians) Obviously only listened to the judgement but didn't follow the proceedings..
Reason why the proceedings should have been televised not just the Judgement so that people won't be kept in the dark. (Maybe that was the intention)
Which apex court decided Tinubu's forfeiture or certificate forgery?
1. Certificate forgery was concerning what was submitted to INEC IN THIS ELECTION versus what was obtained from the school on court order in Nov 2022. How could it have been decided b4?
Even APC lawyers did not disprove the difference in the certificates during the proceedings. Instead they provided records to show he attended CSU which doesn't explain why his certificates were evidently different.
The argument wasnt that he didnt attend the school, but that he forged the certificate he submitted to INEC in this election.(for whatever reason)
Both certificates (INEC copy and CSU copy) were tendered in court as evidence with the differences highlighted during the proceedings - to which the defense lawyers did not disprove or even attempt to explain - not under cross examination and not in their final addresses.
The excuse of clerical error from CSU was mentioned outside the courthalls when Atiku tried to further the case in the US court.
Even the defence lawyers didn't mention this excuse in court!
2. Where has Tinubu's forfeiture been decided before?
Current CJ of the supreme court has ruled about forfeiture before, affirming that it is a sentence for an offence sufficient to prevent a candidate from running for elections, but we heard sth different from PEPC..
3. Amazon witness was thrown out not bcos her testimony about the glitch (as downloaded from verifiable Amazon website ) was proven wrong but bcos she was a party member- an interested party.
Whereas APC's only witness was a serving senator who had also just won reelection into the senate but was accepted as an expert witness to testify to the issue of civil/criminal forfeiture and applicable sections of US laws. He wasn't considered an "interested party" by the same judges.
Under cross examination, the Amazon lady tendered her ID card and letter of employment from Amazon when the judges asked for it.
But the APC senator could only provide complimentary cards to prove his claimed law practice in the US. For those who followed the proceedings, you will recall The Judges refused to accept the complimentary card as ID card or authentication of law practice in the US. But then we hear sth different in the final judgement.
4. INEC deputy director couldn't explain under cross examination why the glitch only affected one set of results out of 3 whereas all results where passed thru SAME bvas and server. (Reason why there were no logs of server glitch on Amazon website)
He also confirmed under oath, that they didn't report the glitch to Amazon not during the election or even 4 months after. (You spend N356b on a system to assure transparency and credibility, it fails on the day it is most needed. you didn't report it to the service providers to help investigate it and u didn't investigate it yourself?? - how else should the court believe the 'glitch' wasn't deliberate?)
He couldn't tell the nature of the glitch and confirmed they haven't even investigated it, 4 months after the election. Should that be acceptable? For an infrastructure whose purpose was to guarantee transparency. Clause 48c,92,93 of their guidelines appear to exonerate them as Clarke had mentioned but then what was the intention of the law around direct transmission from PUs?
Finding an excuse to circumvent the intention of transparency begs the question of the credibility and complicity of the umpire. But alas INEC received a pat on the back for this during the judgement as if to say "Weldone , good job INEC, we need more of such!"
5. LP challenged results even in states where they won bcos the results were not transmitted directly from PU. If u followed the proceedings u would know. PDP showed states like Ekiti, where total votes far exceeded the 300 accredited voters announced by INEC.
But the court refused to consider this and instead judged that no evidence was presented.
6. Shettima's double nomination outside of allotted timelines was upheld by the court. Reason was that it wasn't intentional. (And bcos APM who raised the petition had nothing to gain from it!)
whereas documentary evidence of disparity btw INECs own CTCs and the results announced (with Rivers and Benue demonstrated during cross examination) where thrown out not for lack of merit but bcos they were not front loaded before proceedings started despite INEC deliberately delaying to release public documents (despite being under an order from the same court to do so) till it was 2 days for the petitioners to close their case.
The petitioners complained daily in court but the judges didn't respond. Instead INEC received another pat on the back while the petitioners where upbraided for wanting to use public documents from INEC (a public institution) to pursue their case.
Was the delay in document submission intentional?
Clarke (like many Nigerians) didn't follow the case, he only listened to the propanga judgement and is making his inference from there.
Wish the Supreme court would take the courage to televise the proceedings. (Shouldn't require any courage really, if there is no pressure to be complicit. But then It could also be the panacea should there be pressure from any quarter to be complicit)
We don't expect it to change the outcome but so that lies and propaganda wont be the order of the day after the judgement
It's real harvest time for lawyers.
This old man that doesn't know his ancestral root 😂😂😂
This misguided old APC man should confuse himself, not me. His support for Tinubu even before the elections wasn't hidden. Whatever this confused old man is saying is only from a biased, narrow selfish interest.
That's how you insult your popsy.
Ignorance is norm for you base on your comment, fact is a fact emotion aside
@kateakintoye65
I know where you come from. Your mama is the head of the family
You have no respect for elders,we know you people..... Even with all this explanation , your brain is still working upside down,your father never contributed a dime to Nigeria but this old Man had done with his strength and years to put and fight for some things to go right in Nigeria... 🐐 Ewuu
Courts work base on the evidence you presented, precedence of past cases.
Peter obi and Atiku didn't produce any evidence, no polling unit representative.
Their lawyers made a lot of mistakes abinitio.
They burgled the case them selves, very unfortunate
Thank you baba for that fact, political parties are our problem, if they amend the constitution to allow independent candidate.
Very correct
Now I see how happy this man is for this judgement... I remember when he asked obi to come see him for advice he can't give him free advice
You are a liar. Why do you lie so much. That is why LP will continue to fail. You lie, proceed on the basis of falsehood and when you fail, you start crying. Point out where the SAN told Obi to come and see him. Point it out. Merchant of lies and propaganda.
What happened to inec CTC that was submitted to the court?
We are not expecting anything better from them...but let's go to the supreme court first and let the Apex court endorse that sham done last month. 😢
This man said all these was not done...did he even listen to trial? Old man time to rest. The expert they brought the judges throw it away
obi and atiku lawyers have obtained them ...yahoo lawyers
Can a man win all 36 states in Nigeria and lose in FCT ? Its this type of reasoning by old men who think they know it all, that needs considering.
I love the old man always speak the truth No matter which channel he goes!❤❤
The old man is biased.
There is no where the law says presidential Candidate must stop his or her campaign at 24 States and must not bother with FCT. Similarly, the law doesn't say the votes in FCT aren't as important as those achieved in other States. So , where did the Judges get their own law from ?
Yes you are right , tribunals judges are in the court to interpret the law as it is, not to adjudicate on normality.
Super duper
Listening to this very old jurist, one would have expected him to stand for the truth and demand for justice from his colleagues but sadly, he has become a serial supporter of injustice and bad governance.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Justice is when Obi steal others mandate? Your candidate lost deal with it.
Don’t worry his children and grandchildren will suffer it with other Nigerians in future. They have paid him eat today die tomorrow money.
He didn't follow the proceedings. He is talking from what heard during the judgement

@@oib4463 a textbook of Innuendo has been dismissed with a line of fact.
The school has attest that Tinubu graduated from CSU.
Another line of facts is that the forfeiture was civil matter dismissed WITH PREJUDICE. Meaning no US court shall revisit the case.
But Mr. Clark Sir there surely is a reason why the constitution used the word “ and” 25% in FCT. There is a principle behind that specific inclusion. You, the judges and Tinibu do know that you are setting a dangerous precedent for future elections. Abuja will be completely undermined in future as well as our constitution. If Tinibu can dare why can’t I ? Will be the future slogan.
U chose not to understand
How come the glitch did not happen to the senate and house of representatives.election.
If Uploading is the pivotal proot of election credibility. Are the Senatorial elections despite been overloaded via IRev not been challenged at the Tribunal now too?
@@niyiojo5194
S64(6) specified that dats transmitted directly from PU will be the recourse when there are disputes...
@@oib4463 You did not answer my question. Supreme court already settled all the issues pertaining to transmission in the Osun Election..Dont lets wait time on it. Transmission methods is at Inec discretion..So answer my question directly..
@@niyiojo5194
That IRev data is being challenged at tribunals for senatorial elections doesn't invalidate recourse to it when disputes arises. Infact that is what it's supposed to be.
Every body has the right to challenge anything and s64(6a-d) already anticipating that there could be such disputes, clearly specifies what data instrument should be referred to when such disputes are to be resolved or adjudicated.
And this can happen either at the point of collation or further taken to the tribunal if parties are not satisfied.
Read it and give your understanding of that section. Then we can discuss...
@@oib4463 Why is it hard for you that this is Decided issue? The Supreme Court already pronounced on it in the Osun Elections.. Obi's lawyers raided the issue and that was the ruling..You think both Apc lawyers in Osun and Atiku Obi's lawyers are not aware of the Section you quoted?
Legal profession is one of the most confused professions
They couldn't even have a simple interpretation of FCT, as represented in different sections
They all get confused further....what is the issue with our lawyers giving the intent of FCTin our constitution!!!
Clark is part of Nigeria problem, he is not honest and its his likes that plunged the judiciary into this shameful status
Seun is also not happy with the outcome of the judgement. Even with the way the judges explained, ordinary person should understand how the law works.
Seun wey dey sleep inside court during the verdict
This old men are the real problem of Nigeria. So you are saying that obi and atiku who have traveled this route severally don't know how to present their cases? Same lawyer who won osun case for adeleke doesn't know how to present his case? Anyways, all d APC supporters can celebrate and dance but we on the other side knows what happened in this particular case. Out of 13 witnesses 10 were rejected and the Amazon woman was accused of been partisan but d APC who called in 1 witness who is a chieftain is allowed. You all should continue drumming for the strong men and think you are doing peter obi. You all forgot obi is part of the elite in this country and won't feel the burns bcs he is in their class.
Really I actually think is you that is the problem
A mighty revolution that will lead to the country's break up is what we're all expecting now because this marriage called one nigeria is over due for a total breakup.
Old criminal lawyer and a crooked lawyer. This is how he makes his money by dining with the devil. He will soon meet his maker.
Becareful of what you wish people because of these unserious politicians..or are you his maker?
Be careful what you wish someone because it might be you first!! Especially when this man is telling the truth!
Great elderly man with excellent knowledge
Currupt knowledge.
What knowledge? Perverted knowledge.
Yes you doubt if anything will come out of it,let them exhaust the last judicial option and whatever judgement them get will be part of our jurisprudence weather right or wrong,we are watching....or are you the lead judge to deliver the Judgement?
Clark has spoken very well except for the point where he almost contradicted himself on challenging the INEC glitch.
Shows he didn't follow the proceedings, he only listened to the judgement
In public or administrative law, a Legitimate Expectation is clear, unambiguous and unqualified assurance, understood by those to whom it is given, that a particular course of action will be taken or a particular procedure will be followed.
How do we hold individuals contesting elections? How is it possible 🤔 its ambiguous
In statutory interpretation, “and” can be read as “or” and vice versa.
The conjunctive and disjunctive nature of and
Let's him go to supreme court , it will be the same results.
Let it be the same result and see the end of nigeria.
Tinubu will be president of Oduduwa country.
@@nduodiaka-ph9slI expect to see you leading the charge from overseas. Brigadier General 😅
Because they will tender the same APC pre written judgement. Then be ready to see the end of this fraud called a country, you can't exceed elastic limit without getting to a breaking point.
These idiots that are supporting Tinubu and failed Nigerian politicians, what for? Why are people bringing curses upon their generation? What is sweet about Nigeria since these thieves took over power? Be careful what you speak with your tongue. If accept evil, may evil never depart from you. May all your generation be like Tinubu. Amen
You are not suppose to jump into the critical issue of constitutional importance and more importantly the case in Supreme Court .
Look, the Tribunal Judges were in the wrong for throwing their support behind Tinubu's Victory. Why ? The 25% in FCT he did not achieve. Here is the thing , For someone to gain admission into University the universal law says 3 credits and a Pass must be achieved . In other words without the Pass the requirements are not met and as a result admission won't be granted. Isn't that analogous to Tinubu's case ? Credit and pass must be achieved even though Credit is obviously greater. Tinubu may have scored higher marks in other States but then that of the FCT must also be achieved as well . That is what the law says.
It is impossible to have 25%in 36 states and not be able to get 25%in FCT. Impossible!!
As old as this man his still a very big thief,if a retired lawyer as this old man still very economical with the Truth,how much will you expect his younger layer not to compromise with politician and still the truths.
I am more interested in the weak questions and poor follow-up questions and fact-checking from seun.
Seun has always been like this, twerking to authority
U guys like biased journalists. Pls proceed to TVC and Arise, u'll get that there full time.
If INEC promised to transmit election from polling unit but for security issues Inec choose alternative method why the cry?
Was Obi and Atiku planning to hack Inec server ?
This old man confused
This Baba would also have taken the brief. Lawyers believe in power of argument.
What is the AND doing there....? Why not remove it now. Simple case closed . Or put something simple to understand. How sir? How did the law say it on 25% .
He is a bad old man. He is talking nonsense😂😂😂😂. The only way forward is to remove Tinibu; amend the constitution and rerun the elections. If they wish to remove that special status given to Abuja.
Ajala tan na oo eyin na nuuu, old men and old women who benefit from dis since independence of dis country gather together and brake up Nigeria,for peace if anything happened older men and women,herptentoin,heart attack and others will b4 your time,e roo ree ooo.
Channels plz who is clark again..
This is expected because it is stark illetrates that ate now interpreting Nigeria Constitution. The opinion of this experienced learned person will look stranger to them.
1999 coconstitution is not sustainable
This is one of the old men who has a very bad attitude about the future of the Nigeria youth and their values of democracy
This corrupt man
Our constitution is the problem
What about Rufai of Arise TV unguided supports for Obi
and Labour Party?
Rufai is doing it for money so that people can watch Arise news! Why are Nigerians making him look as if he's intelligent, he's not!
Mr. Clark, you are not making any sense in your argument.
Courts of law do not give judgment according to public opinion or to reflect public opinion unless such opinion represents or presents the state of the law. This is because the judge’s clientele is the law and the law only. Public opinion is, in most instances, built on sentiments and emotions. Both have no company with the law. They are kilometers and kilometers away from the law. The pulse of the Nigeria’s public opinion, if l can feel it, in this case, is to allow the appeal on the speculation or should l say belief that the election was irregularly conducted in violation of the Electoral Act. The concern of the court is whether the appellants proved their case.
Brutally speaking, do you think that judgement reflects the prayers of the litigants? We were once in this country where the same judiciary fail to rule against Ibori but justice came from a UK court. You people should stop supporting injustice and bad behaviour.
@@mercyofgod9372 to answer your questions: Can you provide evidence of Peter obi's tenable results obtained by BVAS to prove overvoting
@@mercyofgod9372 The labour party in it's petition claimed that it has 133 THOUSAND polling unit agents across the country out of 177,000 polling units. But the labour party failed to present just one polling unit agent as a witness to testify in court and present empirical evidence of the alleged irregularities during the election.
@@mercyofgod9372 polling agents are first hand witness of any infraction during voting and collation.
Why didn't the 133 thousands polling unit agents of Peter storm the petition tribunal with the evidence inec representative gave them and which all polling unit agents signed
@@mercyofgod9372 The judges explicitly unequivocally stated the grounds to which they disqualified 10 out of 13 of peter Obi's witnesses.
The presidential election petition has disqualified the statements of 10 witnesses of the Labour Party from the records of evidence on the grounds that they are INADMISSIBLE.
This implies that out of the 13 witnesses that Peter Obi called during the hearing of his petition, only three are deemed Admissible
The court said the dismissal was on the grounds that the witnesses were individuals with stakes in the Labour Party, thus making their witness testimonies likely to be skewed in the party’s favor.
On the 18,088 blurred polling unit results, the PEPC said that Obi and the Labour Party had FAILED TO state the particular polling units whose results were downloaded from the INEC results viewing portal or IREV.
This too was struck out and expunged from the record of evidence of the Court.
Judge said the witness statements on oath of the 10 witnesses, who were subpoenaed to testify in the case, were not competent and could not be recognised by the court.
This, the judge said, was because they were not filed along with the petition as of the close of the 21 days within which the petitioners must file their case.
He said the petitioners (obi and atiku) were aware of the legal provision relating to the filing of witness statements on oath yet went ahead to present 10 witnesses without their witness statements on oath earlier filed with the petition.
He said under section 285 of the Nigerian constitution, section 137(7) of the Electoral Act 2022, and other provisions, every witness statement on oath must be filed along with the petition.
He said that based on the Supreme Court authority, once the 21-day window for filing an election petition lapses, the content of the petition cannot be amended.
He said further that no additional statement on oath can be filed after the close of the window since the respondents (INEC & APC tinubu) would not have the opportunity to respond to it fairly
If the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do? Reforms!
So what happened to the Amazon fact? What happened to the CTC that INEC gave the petitioners that was blunt? Are those no evidence not to show that they were irregularity?
Clark is always loyal to the party in power, what has obi won 95% in the east got to do with with why inec refused to abide by their promises to transmit result .
May those who support in injustice in this our beautiful country called Nigeria 🇳🇬 May the person never no justice in his life that's all I have to say I rest my case
How do you know what justice is when you are part of the system
Every body know what is justice only people that tell lies ,
What part of English don’t you understand mr presenter,if a secondary girl can change her jamb results online , then why can’t some Nigerians hank rief to manipulation results for Peter obi because the some Nigerians were going obident were ready to anything just for obi the to the president , why is there one talking about east part of Nigeria were obi won all the east following by Atiku , why is Tinubu victory been questioned ?
This old man will not go rest, always taking nonsense at his age
Oh, Facts and emotions are not friends.
Clarke is a shameless man .
He's not talking nonsense, please. I think it is your ears that are refusing to well.
Same thing he said before the tribunal judgment and it was the exact judgment the tribunal gave.
@samuelilori8161 He always talk nonsense
This man has never contribute anything good for the nation always looking for someone who can help him to make a living. he is saying and telling the entire world that ineck chairman Yakubu have rights by mislead the millions of Nigerias qnd the wholeworld.
For me their going to supreme court is a useless venture. let them admit that the stronger force has defeated them.
E ya, sorry.
Obi is going to Supreme Court to get fined of 200 million for bringing frivolous case to court
Rubbish. I pity people like you.
Shameless old men of NIGERIA. They also want to be treated as “elders”
It is wrong for Tinubu to assume office while the case is undecided in court
That made it clear that the rigging continues after selecting his cabinet members and ministers and traveling from place to place
They wouldn’t have done the inauguration in the first place.
This is unfair and we will see where it takes us to
Tinubu is very old and a laughable re presentative of Nigeria 😂😊
This man is talking trash
Can this nigerian so called judges get things right,why any responsible & right thinking person who called himself or herself a judge will believes Atiku & Obi did not have a case,how a person that committed perjury not be disqualified,this chief clark does not know what he is saying,corruption is too much in nigeria,we have a long way to go in nigeria.
