Wonders they say never end....politics is interesting, and its even gettin more interestin wif the recent Judgement of an High court nullifying section 25 of the Electoral Act 2010, saying its in not consistent with the constitution, chill, the said section puts the presidential election before the governorship and National Assembly election and Jega led INEC has released the timetable for the general election according to the section's format, but this section was challenged in court by the labour party, arguing (maybe correctly) that once a president emerges, there would be a band wagon effect on the governorship and National Assembly election, ie voters would be 'obligated' to vote for the new presdient party, regardless of whether its there choice or not, nobody go won waste vote now, and in delivering its judgement the Judge reasoned with the lawyer of the defendant and said the said section be abolished.....hmmmmmm...that Jega should conform with the earlier Nigerian arrangement.....hmmmm...another issue of whether or not Jega has time to change plans, or need another set of billions to conform to the Judgement, now the Attorney General of the federation may appeal, if Jega decides to wait for the outcome hoping he did win in appeal....hmmmmm and sticking with his earlier plan....dat aside.....i remember that this controversial section originated from the format Jonathan wanted to use to win the PDP primaries, "do the presidential primaries first, if I lose in your state, you as the governor, and another persons in your state, that I think made me lose in that state, would also lose return tickets"....smart uuhn?...but this 'format' was strongly opposed by the governor's forum...(majorly PDP, cos u wud wonder why a person like fashola should be disturbed which ever primary comes first), who didnt unnecessarily want to be tied to Goodluck's apron, instead wanted the reverse, which dey got, as goodluck had 2 promise to spend just 4years, (stowi 4 anoda year....lolz...keep u posted....but one obvious question now from 2015 light years away...is would sambo remain loyal....hmmmmmthat ofcos if Ribadu loses on the election.....funny isnt it?)...and d format was obviously opposed by the likes of IBB and Atiku, directly or indirectly......now, dat again, cos of the band wagon scary effect, the labour party, with no independent presidential candidate....as opposed the format, sowi.....section 25 but now with a court order, what would or wouldnt happen?.....
.left to me, I think Nigeria should not waste time debating it(senators are already confused), respect the court order, cos no person can deny d band wagon effect, and lets conduct a free and FAIR election......
