”You have till April 16 to respond to Atiku’s petition” – Appeal Court tells Buhari, INEC & APC.




UPDATE FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION APPEALS TRIBUNAL.

You have till April 16 to respond to Atiku’s petition… Appeal Court tells Buhari, INEC & APC.

The court of Appeal has issued out last warning to The Independent National Electoral Commission and the All Progressives Congress ( APC) to have till Thursday to file their responses to the election petition jointly filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, HE Alhaji Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Gcon, challenging the outcome of the February 23 presidential election.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the candidate of the APC, has till at least April 16 2019 to respond to the petition.

Waziri Adamawa and the People’s democratic party (PDP), on March 18, 2019 filed the petition before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, challenging the declaration of Buhari and the APC as the winner of the just concluded presidential election.

According to the petitioners who claimed that contrary to INEC’s declaration, the PDP’s candidate was the valid winner of the 2019 presidential election.

The petitioners claimed that contrary to INEC’s declaration, the PDP’s candidate was the valid winner of the election.

INEC, Buhari and APC are the first to the third respondents to the petition, respectively.

Source has it that Buhari, INEC and APC none of the three had filed their responses to the petition regarding Atiku’s action as meaningless.

Paragraph 10(2) of the Electoral Act, 2010 provides for a period of not more than 21 days within which a respondent must reply to an election petition from the date of being served with it.

The said Paragraph 10(2) provides, “The non-filling of a memorandum of appearance shall not bar the respondent from defending the election petition if the respondent files his reply to the election petition in the Registry within a reasonable time, but, in any case, not later than twenty-one (21) days from the receipt of the election petition.”

The petitioners served the petition on INEC and APC on March 22, but was unable to serve same on Buhari until they were able to obtain a March 27 order of the Court of Appeal in Abuja permitting them to serve the President through substituted means.

“The registry of an election petitions tribunal opens on Saturdays and Sundays; so, there is no excuse for anyone not to meet the time limit.”

The non-filing of a reply within time, simply means the respondent has no defence.”

There are now four petitions challenging APC’s victory at the presidential poll.

A legal practitioner, Mr Tunde Falola, said, “A respondent, who does not file his reply to the petition within time has no defence to the petition and he would be deemed to have accepted those allegations contained in the petition.”

INEC, APC and Buhari's delay in responding to Atiku's claim, show only one thing. They have no reasonable defence.

INEC colluded with APC to rig in Buhari.

18 months into Buhari's tenure and it was as clear as noon day that not only were he and APC bereft of a modicum of administrative acumen they also were unrepentant deceivers and malevolent individuals.

Nigerians in their accomodating nature opined that they would wait till 2019 to vote him out and literally gifted Buhari and the APC 30 months to prepare not to be voted out.

Beyond the thousands of paid social media handles, disastrously and unconscionably compromised civil society groups Nigerians were guided into 2019 with a narrative that suggested Buhari and the APC were at work and taking Nigeria to the Next Level.

IF only they had paid as much attention to actual governance they wouldn't have needed to spend more than a billion Naira to campaign nationwide and they would have trounced PDP.

Why people get to power, do absolutely nothing tangible, betray the people's trust and REFUSE to concede to free and fair elections that would see them voted out (having enjoyed the perks of office for 4 years) only to bully themselves back into power by hook and crook to continue to do nothing but impoverish and divide the citizenry (and loot stupidly) is ALMOST beyond me.

sad sad sad

The Court of Appeal is indirectly giving APC and INEC clue to file their reply before 16/04/19 otherwise PDP and Atiku would be declared winner by the court.
