‘Only tribunal has power to void election’ — Binani asks court to review Adamawa poll | TheCable

Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru has asked a federal high court in Abuja to review the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to void her controversial declaration as the winner of the Adamawa governorship election.The Adamawa governorship supplementary election was conducted on Saturday following the declaration of the March 18 poll as inconclusive over alleged irregularities.

Yunusa-Ari made the declaration when outstanding results were yet to be announced — but the electoral umpire subsequently described his action as null and void.Advertisement The APC candidate also wants an order “preventing the 1st respondent, its agent, assign or any person acting on its behalf from taking any further steps towards the declaration of the winner from the gubernatorial election of Adamawa state held on the 18th of March and the supplementary election held on 15th April 2023, pending the determination of the application for judicial review”.

She averred that INEC staff were caught up in the violence and were manhandled which caused the electoral commission to cancel the initial declaration.Binani submitted that INEC lacks the power to cancel an election result as such power is constitutionally vested in the election petition tribunal.

This woman should be ashamed of her self..... And she's fasting........ A disgrace to other real women out there.....

Gaskiya ya kamara a yi hakan domin tantance Tsakuwa da Aya

Don't be a sore loser woman

kudahelp_ng you are so wicked, release my business money for me

But she is saying the truth according to electoral law as amended, if u are not happy go to court

Why isn't she ARRESTED yet?

This woman is a high profile criminal element who tried to steal victory to become first female Governor in Nigeria. Yeye dey smell.

Settle to seat

A criminal

Yes its true

Bunina, go rest

This aunty no get shame 😂

I wanted a female governor so bad but not through crooked way. Inec did well this time

If you see Ashawo in Court ...the judge is definitely her customer ...case close

Is she not the same woman that gave INEC rep 2 billion to declare her winner? Person wey supposed dey kirikiri by now.

Lol.. Madam go and rest..

You want to enter an office when the person declaring your win has no power to do so. Just consider the money you gave to that REC as charity and save your shame otherwise you will regret more issues that will be revealed by this court case.

See their tactics

That was their plan . Now the court has turned into a joke.

A female criminal

mummy, no be by force

But this is the very thing INEC has been saying all along. They can't reject mutilated results, they can't cancel areas marred by violence. Is this not the saying behind their slogan, Go to court?

A graduate of the school of Mahmood Yakubu College of Electoral fraud. She bags her PhD in Dept of Desperation From the Faculty of Electoral Malpractices, making her the first woman to hold such an Award in Nigeria. Congratulations to her

inecnigeria has brought total shame to Nigerians and it is very disheartening that the Chairman is still walking free

Tonight, Chelsea shud just hire Adamawa REC, Hudu to declare them winners against Real Madrid during the halftime break. Lampard shud deliver 'Acceptance Speech' immediately, and rush to Court to secure legal backing.

This is the typical definition of grabbing something by hook and crook.

APC people shaa

For all indications,Labour Party are too comfortable with social media Followers & Constructive English with their members called “Obident “Do U see how PDP stand on ground on Adamawa Election Result? Shame to LP! Shame to Obident!! Shame to Nigeria Youths!!!

This woman na thief

😂😂

Even when the election or declaration of result is unconstitutional? In that case in next elections, anyone could just hire a police, buy airtime from any national TV, and declare any candidate of choice the winner. smh

She dey craz

Isn't this woman a lawmaker?

Such improvements on impunity

In as much we will our gender to break records ,but not the ground of bribe and corruption....I don't think this very woman is really ok...

Tribunal Judges will be in celebration mode from now.

She's even going to court after this crime that was committed

The court (tribunal)in Nigeria now is just like a police man on the road collecting 50 50 naira from drivers and never cares to no if the driver is caring exhibits. Take knock on ur head

Plead obviously the catchphrase but what's the pledge, telling the story. There has to be an end bargain, it is like saying; I am by the right side of the grassman, what's the herbs. The goal is descent out in the move.

And this is someone's mother. Whorela at your girl !!!!!

It been over weeks month now that you people stop giving us light at ejigbo no news on wheather the light spoil or not even if them bring we still dy share light two day on one day off still with that we no complain now no light at all atall IkejaElectric ieServe

Shame!!!!!!

Buhari legacy

You should be in jail by now

Lol.. dis woman na werey 😂

shameless woman

Democracy is d.ead in Nigeria... No more need for elec.tions

Otí cast 🤗

Who has the constitutional right to announce results?

A disgrace to womanhood.

Nothing and no one in Apc is clean

To even think the women associations were rejoicing before they declared the election inconclusive. Yet she want to get the power by every means. Shey na this wan go motivate woman in politics laidis Tueh

That's their plan all along.

What future can we hope for as Nigerians, when this sickness is all the present has to offer? AKindOfTomorrow

What is the relationship with APC and Court?

This woman is shameless

Desperate housewife of Adamawa State 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hostile takeover

I have never seen someone so obsessed with power like this woman, nothing good you will come from this woman.

This one no get shame

Women take the saying of ‘What a man can do. a woman can do better’ to the next level 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol this woman is a fraud... Hakimi's wife

fkeyamo I remember say you talk say, you and this madam dey talk 30 times per day. Na you advise am this one? 😁😁😁. Because it be like say girl child inspiration wan press their neck die for Adamawa She even get 2 billion!! dash REC.

In case you see anyone supporting this nonsense,just know that the person might be insane This should be condemned by all irrespective of the party affiliation

The same woman that INEC gave contract to print ballot papers.

All these things happen cos we have a very bad institutions working in Nigeria. If inec as an institution shunned bribery nd do d right thing, all these backyard claiming of governor wouldn't get to this level.

It's easy now to win election in Nigeria,bribe INEC Rec to declare you,rush & give acceptance speech then run straight to court and get injunction. The new normal. Weldon Mr Mahmood yakubu.

You want to encourage the girl child that stealing and rigging is the best way to prosperity. Shame

Corrupt judge ! Corrupt tribunal

I was happy that she was the first woman to be elected as governor until I saw how it happened but now this is becoming too desperate for that office and its becoming a shit show

So is there no provision of the law in Nigerian constitution that incriminate or punishable to misconduct of an electoral umpire?

This wickedness is to the noon o, a woman speaking hard

Your tribunal right?

IFB Immidiately 🙏🏻

Omo this country is a joke sha. INEC sef na joke, we need to get things right in this country and start making things work sha, how will state REC declare winner and Mr Yakubu nullifies it, all our politicians are taking us back to the 90’s just because of their selfish interest.

Lol... Banana republic of Nigeria

Our sisters and mothers have joined this old f00lish men to bring down d country

grace_bimbo Have u been elected? Why are u desperate to govern?

Nigerian judiciary should have some shame! chai!!!

At the rate and desperation to be the first female governor I don’t trust woman . She’s up to something especially under APC and the 2B bribe scandal. She should be arrested

Reason why they thank Buhari

we need 2 get thing right in this country.ds woman is part of those dt amend d electoral law & yet acting in contrary.d level of our stupidity & foolishness as a country is further revealed in all 2023 general election. people will must stand & dtruth must prevail no matter what.

APC want power through the back door, inecnigeria will never give Binani certificate The process must be completed

TO STERLING and CBN:

This woman is highly corrupt . At this moment she can do anything to take power ...

Madam rest abeg. Does REC have power to announce result?

Exactly ma

I love women of substance like you. Your character resembles that of no nonsense, great mathematician, first woman Vice Chancellor of any University in Nigeria late Grace Alele William. You also have some traits of Margaret Tarcher - late UK Prime Minister.

Election has not been voided. It is the declaration by an unauthorised INEC official that was voided.

Yes shuga Mommy. They should go to Court 🥱

Cable whatever is your name you no get sense at all.... Continue, you will all get destroyed by wrath of God

Inec equally has power to review election results based on new electoral act

But Ur declaration itself was illegal, so its illegality cannot pass as valid

Fintiri doesn't know who he's dealing with. He tried to rig the election against Binani the first time, but this time,Binani is beating him in his own game. Fintiri doesn't understand the technicality behind electoral laws, Aishatu was a lawmaker; she understands what d law says

Woman thief, woman tyrant. Nothing good can come out of APC.

Our beloved APC will end our lives and democracy...continue supporting them,it will be dishes out accordingly.

Thief

Nice one. I like it ( in Jenifa/ funke Akindele's voice) If Yakubu no end up for Jail eh.

When you announced Tifnibu winner at 4am Nigerian Time while everyone is sleeping. What do you expect?

Criminality, all plans are to head to court and they will buy everyone. Isn't it shameful that you are paying money for public service.

Desperate soul! I pray you do not succeed

The court now seems like they have an agreement with OfficialAPCNg that any case brought before them will be in favor of OfficialAPCNg . It’s crazy how our judiciary is now a mockery system

Aunty Binani. It's only the Tribunal and nobody else, all aggrieved parties should go to court. You are the governor-elect of Adamawa state, and that stands. It's very interesting. The power given to INEC is too much, there should be another body vested with check and balance

This woman is a crook!

I don't understand this Desperation from this APC woman... If u can't win honourably then u don't deserve to serve the pipo. If the people wanted u they would hv voted for u overwhelmingly

You are actually a thïef! Gender equality in the mud!

This court all this blood sucking Politicians are always running to.. Who still trust this court?

This woman just fine come get evil mind

This woman would have been in prison if she was from another party

Lol you can imagine the nonsense 😂😂

So a Youth Corper that has been bribed can also announce the winner of an election and whoever does not like it should GO TO COURT? You are all mad in this administration. God will punish all of you for destroying our nascent democracy.

Nigeria is a joke

Going to court shld have alway bring fear and trembling to those that mentioned it. But I'm Nigeria,the reverse is the case cos they know that few bad eggs in judiciary will do anything for money. God help us.

The desperation of this woman and her APC toys is something we have not witnessed in the political space before. This is becoming embarrassing and messy for our democracy

The new flow of election rigging, a new precedence set by Mahmoud and APC. Interesting days ahead.

What about the power given to the commission to review any declaration being made by the Returning officer as contains under section 65 of the Electoral Act?

Ha After the open review u're still talking.

A living, walking corruption 😂😂😂😂😂😂

When the polls are over, right...? Buh if you're not considering it from that angle then you're not qualified to run for the office you're desperate to occupy 🤔..

Shameless ! She wants to be Governor by force.

This woman is desperate...she will never be governor

To think that someone said good stuff about this woman ie making me believe that she is a saint and people's choice, oh well all is dsame feathers in dat party

Only RO as the power to return her elected. Approaching justice to justify this unjust pronouncement shows her tyrannical tendencies.

APC WAY! RIG ELECTION then ask your opponents to go to court. NIGERIAN COURTS NTOORRR! Politicians have made mockery of courts! I hope Judiciary is watching? Their image and reputation is all but dead. Very unfortunate 😕 and sad!.

These people dey Even remember judgment day? So even this woman is in on this? ..I been think say na just men

The trap they set will catch them all

She hasn't entered yet, but she's already become a tyrant.

Let everyone affected go to court pls. Sadly, this is where Yakubu has landed us. Just like the presidential election, the maths is simple “do whatever is possible to get declared winner, then the rest should go to court while you buy the judiciary over” 😄

In all of this, grandpa our one and only Prof didn't say a word 🤣🤣😂......even if it's political fascism 🤣🤣🤣 Las las na everybody go chop breakfast

You see this gender Their own dey always dey different Yakubu Mahmood is reaping the fruit of his corrupt practices

These people can not say( I want to be different)

Madam, you are nothing close to Late Aisha Alhassan. You should respect your fasting period and allow what God wills to be. You can't force yourself simply because you want to be the first female governor. Haba Hajiya Binani🤔

Very desperate

This woman is a joke

General Abacha era is far beta than APC era... APC is not a Democratic political party, dey are evil..

Thank God no one fell for her gimmick, she would’ve been the first female governor that’s so desperate for power

Turns out she is not different from them others. Shame

Our lawyers are quick to take matters to court. The person that declared her the winner, is not the returning officer. Also, the story is that collation was on going at the units when the resident electoral commissioner announced her the winner. The electoral Act is very clear .

This is some people's hero ooo😅. A senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should understand the dictates of the law. But no! Every and anything is permissible in a banana Republic. This is what happens laws are no longer sacred and sacrosanct. What a travesty!

Only in Nigeria. A REC allegedly collected a bribe worth billions of Naira, and the candidate on whose behalf the bribe was paid is still allowed to participate in the elections, and bold enough to drop hot takes in public without any legal consequences. I clap for Nigeria.

Don’t be surprised it was orchestrated in cohort with Mahmood and co.

This woman has criminal tendencies. Shame on her!

That was the very game from the very beginning

Well she can't be allowed to be the first female governor in Nigeria

So anyone in inec, even the cleaner can highjack an electoral process and announce anyone as a winner of an election.

This crooked element shouldn't near power .She'll destroy the system .You can see why God is frustrating her .She has bad motives for governance .How a woman with milk in her breast support such crass impuinty just because she wants to fulfil some selfish ambition ?

Let's do whatever it takes to win then tell them to go to court, the court people na my paddi, I go handle them. Story of Nigeria politics.

Where are the figures for the so called winner ? What kind of country is this ? REC just pronounced her winner and she’s claiming the same !! Wow….group of mad dogs meant to be caged

To think I used to respect this woman...

This joke is getting too much. She cannot be sworn in if INEC does not issue her with a certificate of return though, the pronouncements of the REC not withstanding.

Women love the taste of power more than men

What an impunity even when she knows that the REC has no power to declare the winner of that election 😏

🧩 There is no decent person in the APC.

This APC has ridiculed and messed up the judiciary. They sees the court as their ShopRite where they can purchase judgement even in a meaningless case. The judiciary should rise up and reject this madness!

Wonderful. Why is Mahmood Yakubu not in jail yet?

This is someone that wants to inspire the girl child? We are in deep mess in this country. No one to look up to again.

This woman is evil

You were not declared a winner in the first place by a constituted authority. That is why it was null and void.

Go to court mantra. Declare me winner and allow them to go to court. I got myself covered there in court. What a nation. There was indeed 'A COUNTRY' .

A heartless woman.

day light rubbery

Madam desperate to be governor through a corrupt process. You are a mother, think.

I thought BVAS was used for 2023 elections? Why all the controversies. with BVAS result should be announcing itself. Let it be known that Mamoud/APC-INEC looted Nigeria Treasury in the name of election.

Their usual strategy. Announce me winner by any cost and send the case to court cos we have the courts in our pockets

Fear women....

What is she saying and why are they even listening to her after knowing she bribed someone. Shouldn't she be picked up if we know what we are doing in this country? And she has the nerve to rely on the court knowing that's the APC narrative. Shameful.

No level… desperados

OfficialAPCNg don teach this woman how to rig and how to defend it 🤦‍♂️

This woman should be arrested , what’s all this in the country This should be the same woman who INEC gave contract to print electoral materials She can only do this if same thing happened during the presidential election and how did she manage to get so much money if true

Sebi Yakubu Mahmood thinks he's smart. Adamawa REC is showing that he is smarter. He over learn work from his boss. Yakubu Mahmood will be in court defending nonsense.

This was the woman that got an inec contract worth billions.

In a sane country, u should be arrested by now for what u did last Saturday .. Always thriving on malpractices, illegalities and evil OfficialAPCNg
