Nigerian politics, getting interesting everyday.
does that mean PDP will be declared winner or what
Disgusting!!!
True
Let's all wait and see how this country is tuned here and there for no just course, How can you be allowed to contest as a Candidate when you and your so called party knows that it's illigal to bypass the law..... ☂️☂️ We need Democratic Governance not party followers. *PDP*
Good report
There's nothing we won't see in this country
jh what happen in kano is totally condemnable.... The election is totally not free, fair nor credable......
APC media arm ..😲😲😲
All these grammars and interpretations are long issues. To cut the story short APC has no candidates in the 2019 election just like Rivers State except Supreme court pronounce otherwise. And by this Judgement PDP being the party with the candidates with highest votes win.
God dee
Lies cannot stand the test of time, before MBuhari government was the law & will leave after them.
Since morning, it took you how many hours to update, if it were to be a case against PDP you'd have posted it in a split second 😒
d only best way for apc out in zamafara is to call sen marafa and other apc aggrieved candidates with pmb taking the lead to resolve the matter and withdraw the case frm court, if not, dis might spell doom for the party ooo and pdp is wating MBuhari BashirAhmaad APCNigeria
Its a case they will still loose at the supreme Court. Its a no win situation for APC.
Bruised_Reeds But is the court not functioning when they participate in General election hmm naija
Broadricks3 Good for APC Stupid party
APC worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria
Hypocrites will show up n start saying nonsense, useless people, the same people that were demonstrating n crying when Onnoghen was suspended for false declaration re now coming here to eat their poo, i just wonder the kind of brain some people have. Why nt democracy under threat
In the words of Potrait Peterson, 'Daz all' 🤣🤣
Hmm... Na sit down look we dey ooo.
The law is the law. APC will never win even at the supreme court. Bad market for them.
Unless Supreme Court Upturns This Decision, All Is Set For OfficialPDPNig To Take Over The State
Supreme court do the final judgment needed pls
The saga continues. APC always rig but PDP will win at the tribunal. INEC would have simply removed Zamfara from the ballot & damned the AGF’s meddling. But No they had to do his bidding & postponed the elections, thereby accommodating APC’s Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu in the ballot.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
