this has nothing to do with rigging ooo - read clearly

"...the election of Alhaji Dakingari has been nullified on the ground that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not provide the statutory Distribution Forms for the election."

This is what I call a really

This is what I call a really messed up situation. Well, religion is one concept; politics has nothing to do with it as far as I see. I don't know why people tend to associate them. Apparently when getting into politics people completely forget about their religious views, or ignore them, I can't say for sure. What can I say, considering the world we live in I sometimes thank God for securities fraud lawyers and others of their kind who (try to) keep things under control.

Amin!.

Amin!.

@ ALIERO BY TAFIDAN DDAJI

Correct yourself on Buhari. He is NOT the national icon. He may be the sharia icon. That has nothing to do with the entire nation.

lmfao , we don't care ... END

Haha! Who care's abeg ? The world is at its end

And what is Dakingari's punishment now?

What is Dakingari's punishment now? None, I guess. I have said this many times over, as long as those who rig elections in Nigeria go unpunished, this rigging will not stop.
Dakingari is a sycophantic muslim. He claims to pray 5times a day and yet coveted a mandate that was not his. The Almighty Allah will difinitely judge you. Dan banza!

Aliero

Aliero is undisputably the icon of northern politics.He is competing with Yariman Bakura.Oh,they are friends as why they play the same cards.Gen Buhari is ofcourse,the national icon!

i begi

Honorable Judge? I guess he was more like feeling Boko breath. With boko around, most of them at least in the north, will do the right thing

CANCELLATION OF 2011 GOV;S ELECTION I KEBBI

THAT MANDATE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM COMPLETELY. HE IS NOT WORTHY OF GETTING THAT TYPE OF MANDATE TO RULE HUMAN BEINGS. HE HAS NO PLAN, AND THEREFORE NO DIRECTION. HE HAS WASTED PUBLIC FUNDS AND PEOPLES TIME. HE HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAKING THE ALREADY POOR PEOPLE POORER. HE HAS NO SINGLE COMPLETED AND FUNCTIONAL PROJECT TO SHOW. IN FACT THE WAY HE HAS BEEN ADMINISTERING THE STATE HE NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED MENTALLY TO ASCERTAIN HIS SUITABILITY FOR ANY FUTURE ASSIGNMENT. THIS IS THE FACT OF THE MATTER.

PM in hell fire may you burn?
First, Sahara Reporter should be fair and professional enough to reject comments that are not good to the public. I believe this forum is about ideas and moving our nation and generation forward.
Well, as a Muslim, I am offended by that comment on our Noble Prophet.
To the writer of that slander, If you can repent and reform, may Allah make it possible but if other wise, may your prayers be answered: PM in hell fire... forever. Amin and Amin

Your father the he-goat and

Your father the he-goat and your mother the she-goat

your same with him

Your as guilty as he is pronouncing courses on him as sure u can let ur 'alah' fight for himself, as sure u're a terrorist maybe rapiest what an unrational view. Maybe ur 'alah is proud now ehh.

am sure T.A Oji's position is shaky

but my friend u throw an axe on T.A why not balance ur opinion, remember in 1998 Enugu state did same it's just unrational to broadcast Abia on this issue. South eastern gorvernor are all guity. What state are frm?

An addition of 1 year to Dakingari's tenure

Hahahahaha Thank you Justice Mairo Muhammad you just add one more year to His Excellency Governor Saidu Usman Nasamu Dakingari tenure in office to 2016 instead of 2015. Masha Allah. We will shurely cast our vote to you as we casted our vote in the last April election.

Nasiru Abubakar, You are now

Nasiru Abubakar,
You are now singing glory to Allah, praising the judges, but before Musa went into coma you thought that Al-haj Saidu Usman Dakingari was next to Prophet Mohammed in hierarchy.

Good

Dakingari, your days are numbered! The Honourable Justices have displayed exemplary courage with this decision of doing what is right for once in a long time. There is a glimmer of hope in Nigeria

Hope in the Judiciary

May God in His infinite mercy bless you Justice Mairo Mohammmed for showing that the last man still has hope in the judiciary, and for salvaging what is left of the dignity and prestige of the judiciary. You have surely shown that what a man can do, a woman can surely do better. Out with the PDP thugs.

this judgement has lighten the hope of common man.

this judgement has shown that there are still judges that can not be bought with money or threaten by the powers that are. we the inhabitants of kaduna state look forward for the appeal court in kaduna to do similar justice in the appeal of the CPC gubernatorial candidate against the kangaroo judgement of the shameless election petition tribunal which against all commonsense expectation, bargained to the highest bidder,by/and awarded the judgement in favor of yakowa, whose local government and kinsmen are busy killing their Hausa neighbors at kafanchan,

Election, What Election?

It is absurd that in this day and age Nigerian democracy still baffles me. Apparently some Nigerians are still honest; the federal government must let the courts seek nothing but the truth from these dishonest and power drunk governors.Kebbi State is like a big village with little or no inward investment. Let the truth reign.

T.A ORJI, JUSTICE WILL MEET YOU SOONER THAN YOU THINK

Abia state will be next, I trust the Judiciary to rise to the occassion to throw out the Evil dictator in Abia State, T.A.Orji. The Cannibal Orji has descreted Nigeria constitution that guarantees her citizen the right to live and work in any state of the Federation, Sectional and Narrow minded T.A orji that booted non Abia indigines out of the workforce is not fit to occupy the office of Governor of any state in Nigeria. The Man has made nonsense of Nigeria constitution, yet President GEJ or the Attorney General of the Federation did not bother to call the Governor to Order. I plead with the Tribunal and Appeal Court to please accelerate Abia Guber case and get this impostor out of the Government house.
