3/ ...the petition, it smacks of clout chasing or what the Gen Z will call cruise. In the entire petition for instance, the only places where the petitioners made any reasonable attempt to dispute the result of the election as announced by INEC were in Rivers State and...

4/ ...Benue State, where they claimed they won by polling 205,110 votes and 329,003 votes respectively. In both places, the President-elect was declared winner by INEC. Ironically, the petitioners based their claim on the output of same collation process they are trying to...

9/ ...for the petitioner to garner one quarter of the votes cast due to the kind of rhetoric and message of the Candidate during the campaigns which would not have gotten wide support from the voters in these states. Subtract these 14 states from 37 states (including the FCT)...
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
10/ ...and you're left with 23 states. Therefore, before you even begin to subtract the South West States of Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo where the petitioner also failed to get 25%, he has already failed to meet the minimum spread required by the Constitution. One is now...

12/ ...voting pattern in these areas. The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was able to win because he went out to compete for votes in five out of the six geopolitical zones. In the North West, he won two states and came a very close 2nd position in the other five...

@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
16/ ...see a predictable pattern - he won in Nasarawa, Plateau and the FCT and was runner up in Benue and Taraba States. Plateau, Benue and Taraba are states with Christian majority, which made many embrace his message in protest to the same faith ticket of the APC.
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
17/ ...The victory of the petitioner in Nasarawa state may be surprising to many but on a closer analysis you will immediately understand what transpired. The state has a very sizeable Christian population and tend to be pro-PDP. In the 2023 polls, @officialABAT polled 172,922...

18/ ..while Atiku of the PDP polled 147,093 votes. The petitioner, Mr. Obi won by polling 191,361 votes. When you combine the votes of PDP and APC in the state, you will get 320,015 votes. In 2015 when President Buhari squared against President Jonathan, Jonathan won Nasarawa...

19/ ...after polling 273,460 votes while Buhari got 236,838 votes. In 2019, Buhari won Nasarawa State for the first time by polling 289,903 votes while Atiku Abubakar came a close second with 283,847 votes - a difference of 6,000 votes. So, in 2023 what happened basically...

20/ ...was that the Christian bloc votes (who were usually pro-PDP) went to the petitioner who emerged as the third force and appealed to their Christian sentiment. The APC and the PDP were then left to split the usually Muslim majority votes of 320,015 votes. So, we can...
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
21/ ...now see the @PeterObi win in Nasarawa state from the proper prism. When we come to the South, the President-elect won four out of the six states in his South West geopolitical zone, losing Lagos and Osun States narrowly to the @PeterObi and Atiku Abubakar respectively.

22/ In the South South, the President-elect was declared winner in Rivers State (contested by the petitioner) and finished second in Akwa Ibom ahead of the petitioner who failed to get 25% in the state. In Bayelsa, the President-elect finished 3rd in a close contest just...

26/ ...@officialABAT in the South East, the President-elect still finished 2nd in Imo and Ebonyi States and equally finished 2nd overall in the South East. We can see clearly from the above breakdown that the President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu won 3 geopolitical zones...
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
27/ ...and finished second in the other three that he did not win. That's how to achieve national spread and win a Presidential election! Now, when you factor all these voting patterns, you will see that the pathway of victory of the President-elect is as clear as broad day light
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
28/ ...and then you begin to wonder why exactly the petitioners really think they have a case if not to keep their base engaged and sell a fleeting hope to them. When you marry the three grounds upon which the petition is built, the pathway the petitioner is attempting to...

29/ ...cling on becomes obvious. @PeterObi is simply trying to bring the court to disqualify the President-elect on the grounds of alleged double nomination of his running mate & alleged fine of $460,000 handed to the 2nd Respondent in 1993 (29 years ago) by a Court in Illinois.
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
30/ Then if, in the unlikely event that the 2nd Respondent is disqualified, it means his votes are removed from the equation and the votes that would remain principally will be that of the Petitioner and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the first runner-up in the election. Even at that...
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
31/ ...a recalculation of the 25% spread will still not see the petitioners meeting the 24 state threshold stipulated in the Constitution. This is why @PeterObi is equally asking the court to extract some votes from the 2nd Respondent before he is disqualified by alleging...
@Green_rebel234 - Asiwaju Hype Man®
32/ ...that many of his votes were unlawfully credited to the 2nd Respondent in many polling units. Unfortunately for the petitioners, even that is not enough to enable him meet the requirements of Section 134(2) hence his alternative prayers to the court to cancel the entire...
