Femi Falana, SAN speaks on INEC, Tribunal, Sowore and Elzakzaky
There have been several reactions trailing the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal upholding the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 2019 elections. Some Nigerians have queried the judgment while others have hailed the tribunal's verdict, saying that Atiku's petition was filed with many contradictions. Today, on the program, we'll speak to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, as we do a holistic review of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Judgement with the erudite #FemiFalana.
#Presidential Tribunal, #INEC, #Sowore, #ElZakaky

Those who voted next level hasn’t seen anything yet! Obasanjo and Jonathan didn’t try hard to amend the law because they were beneficiaries of the flawed laws, now Buhari has taken those flaws to the next level and using it to replace Nigeria indigenous people with foreign Fulanis. May this next level hit hard on those who voted or rigged Buhari in this second tenure.

G Jeff do you know how many private business nor how many self employed people will crop up if we have stable electricity like Ghana? Do you know that it will help on security levels too, because many will be able to install gadgets like CCTV in and around their businesses and houses? Think about that drinking that nice cold water or juice in that hot tropical country! You can’t run a successful economy or country in this 21st century without electricity. With that alone it’s fair enough to say Ghana surpass Nigeria.

There is no judiciary power in Nigeria!🤷🏿♂️ All Nigeria Court should be shut down, they are of no use. The country is lawless because majority of the judges are corrupt⚠️ Revolution is only way out. #Revolutionisnow ⚠️
For President Buhari case, whether he has certificate or not, the statue of limitation protect him. He served as a General in Nigeria army and head of state with pass mark. His present position and experience in administration quality him for the position. You can acquire education or knowledge directly or indirectly.

The only language that determines victory in Nigerian judiciary is money and power of incumbency; no more nor less.
Up "OUR" SAN. I can not understand the significance of those background pictures. Are they the sponsors of your TV stations, your roles models or otherwise. There are better wall papers to use. Am not always comfortable seeing those pics. These are faces that the majority would not want to see. Am sure I will not be alone on this observation
That is how it ought to be, anything about election is supposed to be the sole responsibility of the INEC. But a situation where They Failed the Entire majority of the Nigerians; then the Judiciary and Election Tribunal becomes the last resort to rescue and remedy the situation. Let's get it right and set things right for the good of the Nation. Shalom!
For Fr
Gani Fawehinmi SAM SAN is gone, the only legal luminary that is still making sense and in touch with the soul of the Nation is this Femi Falana. I hope God will use use him to bring about the needed changes and reforms we need in the society.
The problem is not the courts, it is the people that do not know what they want and what should be obtainable, why else will they make a law that is illegal and everyone would keep mum, in any other place by now the people would have crowded everywhere look at Hong Kong for instance
Brave men
What is he talking about, INEC asked other parties to go to Court if they doesn’t like his (INEC ) chairman. Our leaders do the right most Nigeria men and leaders have lost their dignity for money forgotten that there is God. Anyway God is watching all you leaders of Nigerians, big calamity and Karma is coming, you all will be amaze judgement time. Nigeria is so said and bring shame to everyone in the world. When they all saw the truth and looked the over way,it is a shame😭😭😭
Long live Baba Falana
let Citizen of Nigeria do only presidential election again that is best way and strong security
New elections PRESIDENCY must be done with opening mind of electoral college and new papers.
A presidential matters is going on in court and a president is swear in how,? Is Nigeria ok?

Why will he take election case? , when he just point out all the errors in the electoral law

What's Femi Falana talking about? How can you keep the courts out of the election in nigeria. Courts intervene in the elections in all democratic countries all over the world! The court handles elections dofferently, compared to regular cases that come to court.
Addressing this man just as Femi without a ‘mister’ is impolite. Addressing any other person like that too is equally impolite. I believe your profession or carrier demands that you should lay good examples.

@@plentywater773 Thank you for writing clearly, so I can understand. I have read the "Judicial Oath." The 1st line is just a preamble for the oath taker to insert his/her name and office to be occupied. Point 1 is about being faithful and allegiant to Nigeria; this is vague and makes no mention of methods of achieving said faithfulness and allegiance. Point 2 is about properly exercising judicial functions entrusted to oath taker, and doing what is right to all people in accordance with the constitution. I am not sure what your point is about reading this oath, but I infer that this oath is vague until you get to the point about "...in ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONSTITUTION of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as BY LAW ESTABLISHED and in accordance with the LAWS AND USAGE OF THE Federal Republic of Nigeria...." This is the first mention of an actual formula to follow in exercising juridical duties. Prior to this part, all the oath specifies is the character with which the oath taker is to carry him/herself [i.e will be faithful, bear true allegiance, well & truly exercise judicial function....] Suffice to say the judiciary has a formula to depend on which is the constitution. It is not an infallible document. Our US constitution has 27 amendments + judicial precedents + legal statutes passed the congress. US law is same common law foundation as Nigeria, so I believe similar process apply in Nigeria as well. Thus, Nigerian Judicial officers swear to obey constitution + amendments + judicial precedents + legal statues. Is this not common sense?

dominic andrew all this plenty write ups don’t even matter ... faithful and Allegiance to Nigeria ... so it does not really matter your innocence or guilt as long as Nigeria is in danger or at risk , upholding the constitution will come later and you will be compensated if necessary but Nigeria has to be secured FIRST!!!! Now you see why Sowore who ought to have known better will remain there as long as Nigeria seem to be at risk as they claim...further more , how do you release Sowore on bail ???? The only man that knows where Kanu sleeps , Kanu that left the country shaming the intelligence as they still don’t know how he did it despite they were watching him...it’s only normal for any country to hold Sowore because he definitely will have access to that back door escape Kanu used... Well I guess it will be better if baba Section section Falana enlighten us better on this...our understanding might be amateur like Meanwhile all Naa game still... out of all the names and words in this world Sowore had to refer back to “Action Congress” of bola Tinubu. More so same Falana that rescued Tinubu in 2011 Tribunal sittings also in fore front for Sowore... how many ONLINE NEWS GOT VVVVIP ACCESS AT BUHARI’s 2015 INAUGURATION????

The Constitution was perfectly made for the fulanis to favour them in future because they knows that they don't go to school but they must rule by all means, the Constitution said if the electoral body can allow you to run if they feel that you can govern a nation even when you have no certificate
All that has been heard is a proof of the unworkability of the Nigerian political system and by extension that of Nigeria as a country as there are no easy solutions to the problems raised. The people are not ready or patriotic to make Nigeria work.

you see this man?
I told you people that you're all messing up. This is because we should all know that the people destroying that country is not just jagaban only. The directors of law are also corrupt. The corruption in Nigeria is motivated., and mentored by the law makers themselves. The country is in existence without without law. Law in that country in Nigeria is applicable only to the poor mases.
Do you know the section of the Nigeria Constitution that excluded the production of certificate/s as proof of educational qualifications? You may be aware that a Constitution is a framework of fundamental legal principles embodying or encapsulating the entire laws of a country. Further laws are developed from these principles. Example, the Nigeria Electoral Act 2010 as amended by the 2015 Electoral Act. These amendments were meant to cure a mischief not provided for by the 1999 Constitution. Example, the requirement that candidates must depose to an affidavit stating educational qualifications with photo copies. Mr Falana should know that the 1999 Constitution did not debar or disallow the amended sections of the Electoral Act. As a matter of fact, Section 131(d) of the 1999 constitution specifically provided thus ''he has been educated up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent''. Section 318 was silent, and did not support his claim about the Constitution. How do you prove your educational qualifications? The 1999 Constitution could not have excluded anyone from presenting his/her certificates.
The lawyers are supposed to be learned, so why are they still walking around with palm fronds on their heads?
