Tribunal: Senator Bamidele says IPOB behind presidential election mayhem in Kano, Enugu
The Senate majority leader responded to a new report by the European Union election observers, who found widespread violence during the February 25, 2023, exercise.

Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has told the presidential election petitions tribunal that separatist IPOB elements were behind deadly attacks and ballot box disruptions in Kano and Enugu.

Mr Bamidele, while testifying at the tribunal in favour of his political godfather President Bola Tinubu, said the election violence was not because the government failed to appropriately secure the exercise.

The Senate majority leader was responding to a new report by the European Union election observers, who found widespread violence during the February 25, 2023, election. He was asked about the report by Livy Uzoukwu, a senior lawyer for the opposition Labour Party, and he said he was aware of it.

Mr Bamidele said the votes scored by Mr Tinubu in Kano were undercounted by thousands of votes. But Mr Uzoukwu said some of the results he presented were not legible and also asked whether or not he knew many people could not vote in Kano as a result of violence.

The senator said the violence in Kano and Enugu was caused by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, who have been on a relentless and often violent campaign for the independence of Nigeria’s South-East region. Mr Bamidele’s claim surprised many inside the court, as they wondered how IPOB could be responsible for violence in Kano when its focus has always been on the actualisation of nationhood for the Igbo-dominated region.

He did not present any evidence to substantiate his claim that IPOB elements were behind the attack in Kano, although security analysts said it was possible the group was behind the attacks in Enugu and other parts of the South-East. The group, which carried out a fresh attack yesterday in Ebonyi, had previously issued warnings against participation in the election, but they were restricted to people across the region.

Mr Bamidele, a long-time political ally of Mr Tinubu’s, said was the first witness called when the tribunal resumed hearing on Wednesday morning in Abuja. He argued that Peter Obi was still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party when he picked up Labour’s presidential ticket. Mr Tinubu’s lawyers have been arguing that Mr Obi cannot hold membership in two political parties simultaneously, urging the court to dismiss his candidacy and ability to challenge Mr Tinubu’s victory.

Mr Tinubu was declared the winner of Nigeria’s presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission and was sworn into office on May 29. Although Mr Tinubu argued he won the election, which was a three-way race, his public conduct and utterances suggested he has not been at ease over the uncertainties cast on his administration by the ongoing litigation over election petitions brought by Mr Obi and his PDP counterpart Atiku Abubakar.

IPOB in Kono, wonder shall never ceased

Very confused set of the cocaine sniffing disciples


Helinues get your ass here the confusion in the corn camp will favor me and my family

Please if you don't know how to lie just stay put...

Yes, Tinubu want people to come and defend his mandate but don't make a mess of yourself and your principal Tinubu.

Tinubu himself won't find this funny

If you check this Badmidele very well I believe he help Tinubu to push drug , only a drug Baron testify for a drug Baron.
How can a sane human attribute political killing in Kano to IPOB

I can bet on Tinubu balls that Senator Bamidele sniffed Quantum lines of the Chicago white substance before he mounted that witness stand.

Bobo Chicago must have paid him a visit a night b4 wherein awa'lokan lines of white powder Was displayed to bring back memories of their drug escapades in the City of Chicago

Mr Bamidele, a long-time political drug ally of Mr Tinubu’s, said was the first witness called when the tribunal resumed hearing on Wednesday morning in Abuja .

What is Ipob business in a fraudulent election nitori olorun

Tinubu witness misfiring from all angles.
It got to a point that he refused to agree to the documents he tendered

Tinubu witness personally tendered ecowas report on the election . After he was drilled by the LP lead counsel Livy ( SAN), tinubu witnessed rejected his own documents.

Livy (SAN) was begging tinubu lawyers for more witness but they refused due to fear of misfiring.

I agree with Senator Bamidele

Only an idiot will agree to testify for APC,inec and tinubu.

Opeyemi Bamidele sounds like Yoruba name.






These things and their hatred for Ipob and Igbos in general.

Lol!

Just like the INEC witness of yesterday, Sen. Bamidele ended up causing an almost irreparable damage to Tinubu’s case.

Imagine he admitted that Tinubu actually forfeited money due to drug offenses.

Hard times for Agbado munching Vuvuzelas.

Though it's not easy to defend Tinubu with all controversies surrounding him but an obidient like me can do better than this men acting as his defense in court. No jokes!!!

It's like a football match when obidients are winning 2-0 then bamidele enters as a super sub and then scored an own goal.

But the final outcome of the match lies with the center referee who are the judges.

Exactly!

The final outcome lies with the center referee. The only good news is that we are all seeing the scoreboard.

If the referee announces anything different from what we have all seen, then the ojoro would be open for the world to see.

I'm tempted to call Senator Bamidele an idiot.

Mad clown

See how someone have developed paronoid delusion just to defend a well known criminal. Defending Tinubu is a crime against humanity and God. You can never defend such a man and be normal

Make no Mistakes
Senator Bamidele might talk like a fool,people around him might perceive him as a fool and he might also act like a fool,don’t be decieved he is really a fool

Lol, you will think their delusions end on nairaland, but just imagine a whole senator disgracing himself like this.

When I saw his name was Bamidele, I automatically knew he would be very unreasonable.

CORNfused 🌽

According to bamidele, Hon Ado doguwa is an IPOB member.

Extinguish majority leader pls who is your dealer?

Bamidele probably forgot to add in his statement at the tribunal that he later woke up from his sleep and discovered that the said IPOB violence in Kano took place in his dream. Even the drugs these people are sniffing have glitches

Yorubas are trying to build a case against Igbos more vocally lately. Before they did it quietly. Not all of course, but many and they are all of one tribe.

Election in the South East was peaceful. So IPOB left the south-East to Kano and caused electoral violence. He should also blame the violence done in Rivers State's Election by Wike on IPOB

Parachoco:
I agree with Senator Bamidele

See the kind of senators representing you.... substance sniffing senators
