Buhari and Atiku
APC whips Atiku over peace accord

The five-member panel tribunal headed by Justice Mohammed Garba, equally gave President Buhari, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, who were cited as 1st to 3rd Respondents, respectively, six days each to defend the petition the PDP and Atiku lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.

The tribunal took the decision after a brief meeting that was held by lead counsel to all the parties in the matter.

Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Garba had, before he okayed a 30-minute stand-down of the proceeding, noted that by the provision of Paragraph 16(3) of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act, the petitioners were, by law, allowed a maximum of 14 days to present their case against the election, while each of the respondents would take 10 days each to enter their defense.

When the tribunal reconvened after the stand-down, lead counsel to the petitioners, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu, SAN, announced that all the parties had, at the end of the brief meeting, agreed that the time should be abridged.

Uzoukwu further told the tribunal that his clients had lined up a total of 400 witnesses that would be called to testify and give evidence in the course of the hearing.

“We intend to call many witnesses as possible within the prescribed time”, he added.

On modalities to be adopted for hearing of the petition, he said the parties were in agreement that they would tender documents and reserve objections till the final written address.

“We, however, agreed to isolate the objections from the final address of parties.

All the parties equally agreed that “ordinary witnesses” will take five minutes each to present their Evidence-in-Chief, while they would be cross-examined for 10 minutes.

It was, however, their position that “Star, Expert and Subpoenaed witnesses” would take 10 minutes each to give evidence, while 20 minutes would be used for their cross-examination.

Each of the parties would take three minutes to re-examine each of the witnesses.

Let the fireworks begin. Our electoral jurisprudence and democracy are the winners.

all I care is for a better Nigeria

Atiku has lost it already.

He has gone to Dubai in order to update and work out a payment plan with those he collected advance part-payment for sale of NNPC and other national assets.

The "Atiku is Cumming" choristers are practicing their next renditions.

I pity this cameroonian

Even Buhari isn't sure yet that's why he can't name a cabinet
