A Senior Advocate of Nigeria , Mr Christopher Oshomegie has offered an insight as to why renewed effort by the presidential candidate of the opposition peoples democratic party , Atiku Abubakar to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the supreme court would not come to fruition.
“People are now doing all things possible to demean the judiciary and bring it down. This days you see people go to Court to argue their cases and immediately turn to the Television houses to argue the same case. “Whatever any person or persons purports or claim to have obtained or procure from any space on this Earth or outside it regarding the issue of the Election Petition that is transiting to the Supreme Court is of no use. It is of no moment.
” You cannot add or reduce from your election petition after Twenty One days. The Courts equally has Statutory period within which to attend to the Petition. The Courts cannot add an hour or half an hour or a minute after the hour stipulated by the statute to dispose off Election Petition. ” But in electoral litigation that is statutory regulated, the issue of discretion in violation of the Statute is unknown. This is simply because the Courts are to give effect to laws and not emotions and selfish digestion.
” By the constitution, all you need is evidence that you have a school leaving certificate. Not that you even pass the examination. That is what is needed. Again, if you don’t have that, you show evidence of cognate experience. That is all the requirement. ” University of Ibadan came to the court and said he was its student. That they issued him the certificate in issue after graduating. The court held and said that, that was the end of the matter. That no further inquiry can go beyond the assertion of University of Ibadan.
“He became a Senator, Governor of Lagos State and yet we are still talking of qualification. Is it to say we don’t have something to do? Or are these people idle? “Nigerian should rise against this tendency that is manifesting in these political actors who don’t care what become of Nigeria as long as their selfish interest is not met. We must stop this act of trying to delegitimise the judiciary and render it null must stop.
