'Supplementary Elections Unconstitutional'

http://allafrica.com/stories/201105020164.html

A Professor of Law, Chidi Odinkalu has described the proposed supplementary elections in Imo State as illegal and unconstitutional.  a statement he issued Sunday in Abuja, Odinkalu stated that by virtue of section of the 1999 Constitution election into the office of Imo State Governor must be held not later than 30 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office. He argued that since Ikedi Ohakim would vacate office by May 29, any election held less than the stipulated 30 days would be unconstitutional.Section provides that an election to the office of Governor of a State shall be held on a date not earlier than sixty days and not later than thirty days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of that office. According to him, INEC has a burden to justify why it has chosen an option that is not supported by laws, facts or the Constitution. It has signally failed to do so. He explained that section of the Constitution allowed little room for error. Ikedi Ohakim, the current Governor of Imo State, took the oath to begin his four-year term of office on May 29, 2007. His current tenure will expire on the mid-night preceding May 29, 2011. All voting to determine whether he continues in office or is succeeded by someone else ought, in compliance with the Constitution, to have been concluded not later than April 29, 2011.
 
I think they are doing these things to get president goodluck out of the chair but it won't work because the result was right that he won but the people are still trying to re-run the election, so they bring wrong result and now they all agree to re-run the election but I think goodluck will still win no matter what they do. if he don't win than the country oF Nigera and the people will be in danger because right now the violance that had taken place was bad and the muslim is trying to kill the christian.
