Today All Parties to Petitions at the Election Perition Tribunal sitting at thr Appeal court Abuja.

We present to you the summary of Today's Adoption at PEPT

During the adoption of the written addresses, counsel to the APC, Chief Fagbemi announced to the court that his client has filed additional authorities citing the ruling of the Supreme Court on Tuesday August 20, 2019.

The PDP lead counsel Dr. Livy Uzoukwu, challenged the eligibility and admissibility of the new authorities filed by the APC since the time for such documents are over and the final written addresses by all the parties had been submitted.

The trial Judge, Justice Mohammed Garba informed him that the court will look into the admissibility of the new authorities from the APC but that the PDP and Atiku/Obi should look into the documents since they have been served and respond accordingly.

Dr. Uzoukwu then went ahead adopting his final written address.

In adopting his final written address, Dr. Uzoukwu emphasized on the non qualification of the 2nd Respondent (Muhammadu Buhari), in the February 23, 2019.

He reminded the court that one of the grounds of petition in an election in both the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and the electoral act 2010 as amended, submitting false information of a fundamental nature is grievous and that the matter should not be trivialized

Dr. Uzoukwu also told the court that the 2nd Respondent (Mohammadu Buhari) and his party both failed to provide evidence (certificates) even in their final written addresses.

He said witnesses provided by the 2nd Respondent (Muhammadu Buhari) himself further compounded his case when one General Tarfa told the Court on oath that it was not the duty of the military to collect credentials of military officers for save-keeping

He went further to the tell the court that the variations in the names in most of the documents submitted by the 2nd Respondent also speaks volumes.

That in some documents, it reads Mohamed Buhari and in another it’s Muhammadu Buhari and even in the scores.

In the same exams, in some documents, he claimed to have 8 subjects and in another 6 subjects.

Dr. Uzoukwu also reminded the court that the 2nd Respondent relied on the electoral act of 2010 in most of its authorities and abandoned the march 2015 amendments of the electoral act by the former president, Dr. Jonathan

He told the court that in the new amendments to the electoral act, voting was supposed to be determined by the INEC and the guidelines of INEC for the 2019 General Elections also was very clear on this.

And on the server issues, he went ahead defining a server saying that it looks like INEC does not understand what a server is.

He said that a server is simply a storage device that can share data to to other devices.

He also said that INEC should tell the court what and how they used all money budgeted for in the 2018 budget of the commission for the purchase of these devices and training of INEC technical staff.

Dr. Uzoukwu reminded the court that the 3rd Respondent, the APC did not even provide one witness during trial and therefore cannot justify most of the claims made in his final address

Dr. Uzoukwu reminded the court that if and only if the educational certificates of the 2nd Respondent exist or is with the military as he claimed, as the commander in chief of the armed forces, he can order the military to provide all these documents to the court.

He finally submitted that on that note, the 2nd Respondent does not have any certificate, both in electronic, photocopy, photograph etc.

That there was no defense from all the respondents and urged the court to grant the relief of the PDP and Atiku/Obi that the 2nd Respondent was not qualified ab initio to contest the February 23, 2019 Presidential Election and that the former Vice President and Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar should be declared as winner of the election

Chief Olanipekun now stood up and started criticizing the use of the media to harass the government on the matter.

He told the court that he particularly watch ait network and seriously frowned at the broadcast station

He therefore advised that since judgement is now reserved with the court, that we should allow the court to do their job

Chief Fagbemi of the APC also supported the position of the Chief Olanipekun but the INEC counsel, Usman abstained

Dr. Uzoukwu objected and reminded the court that he has seen severally that Chief Olanipekun himself and Festus Keyamo addressing the media and Chief Olanipekun cannot excuse himself from the issue

He told the court that the counsel know their job but that they will never address the press and at the same time reach a conclusion.

He told the court that what Chief Olanipekun is saying is cheap blackmail

INEC Lawyer Usman Yunus in his final submission tells presidential election petition tribunal tribunal that " We didn't abandoned our case & runaway or failed 2 call witnesses as claimed by Atiku, Claimed that he extracted evidence from Atiku's witnesses. It is public documents

Na only Atiku lawyer address you dey report Engineer lol

Responding President Buhari Represented by his lawyer, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), argued that he was only required to be educated, under the 1999 Constitution.

He urged that the petition challenging his election and his educational qualifications be dismissed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

According to the president, the petition lacked merit and substance.

He said: “The law is well settled and the case-law is crystalized on the point that the 2nd respondent (Buhari) cannot go beyond provisions of sections 131 and 131( of the 1999 Constitution.

“The case-law is replete with decisions of this court on the subject. We cannot amend the constitution.


“We need to make it very clear at this point that the constitution and laws of the land do not expect any certificate to be tendered or attached.”

Buhari, further relying on a recent judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal in a certificate scandal case that involved the governorship candidate of the PDP in Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke, contended that non-attachment of his certificates was not a valid ground to challenge his participation in the February 23 presidential election which he won.

Responding, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), through their lawyers, Prince Lateef Fagbami (SAN) and Yunus Usman (SAN) also asked the Justice Mohammed Garba-led tribunal to dismiss the petition with cost.

According to the ruling party, the petition would create an impression that the president lacks basic educational qualifications.

Fagbemi said: “Those who set the standard for secondary education where called. They came and gave the verdict that what the 2nd respondent has was equivalent to Secondary School Certificate.

“The witness said so, and there was no follow-up on that. They did not say that the certificate was fake or forged.

“The position is that we take him to be a secondary school leaver.”

Afonja ti o ko ni laakaye ni ho

Good one

Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, further maintained that no law in Nigeria requires anyone to produce his certificates in a bid to prove his eligibility to run for Presidency.
Olanipekun, while adopting his final brief of argument in opposition to the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, filed to nullify his re-election, argued that under the 1999 Constitution, he was only required to be educated.

He therefore urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition challenging buhari election and his educational qualifications because it lacked merit and substance.

He said: “The law is well settled and the case-law is crystalized on the point that the 2nd Respondent (Buhari) cannot go beyond provisions of sections 131 and 131( of the 1999 Constitution.

Atiku had earlier maintained that.

1. The school Buhari claimed to have attended where non-exist
2. Different names on his acclaimed statements of Results
3. Buhari lie under oat that his certificate are with the Nigeria Army Board
