As expected, the Peoples’ Democratic Party and its Presidential flag bearer in the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar are in Court challenging the victory of All Progressives Congress and its flag bearer, President Muhammadu Buhari. Alhaji Atiku and his party, the PDP had filed 146 pages petition before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting at the Court of Appeal Complex, Abuja. Alhaji Atiku and his party have alleged irregularities, non- qualification, violence, intimidation, bias on the part of Independent National Electoral Commission and outright rigging. The Petitioners pray jointly and severally against the Respondents as follows:- (a). That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent was not duly elected by a majority of lawful votes cast in the said election and therefore the declaration and return of the 2nd Respondent by the 1st Respondent as the President of Nigeria is unlawful, undue, null, void and of no effect. (b). That it may be determined that the 1st Petitioner was duly and validly elected and ought to be returned as President of Nigeria, having polled the highest number of lawful votes cast at the election to the office of the President of Nigeria held on 23rd February 2019 and having satisfied the constitutional requirements for the said election. (c). An order directing the 1st Respondent to issue Certificate of Return to the 1st Petitioner as the duly elected President of Nigeria. (d). That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent was at the time of the election not qualified to contest the said election. (e). That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent submitted to the Commission affidavit containing false information of a fundamental nature in aid of his qualification for the said election. IN THE ALTERNATIVE (f). That the election to the office of the President of Nigeria held on 23rd February 2019 be nullified and a fresh election ordered. To start with, Atiku had prayed the tribunal to grant him access to check the supposed INEC server, the tribunal declined. Pressed for evidence before the tribunal to ascertain the existence of the server, the petitioner produced a video clip showing Mike Igini, Resident Electoral Commissioner of Akwa Ibom State, speaking on a TV program of the possibility of INEC employing electronic transmission of results during the 2019 general elections; INEC countered during one of the tribunal sittings that Igini is its not spokesperson. The Petitioners listed about 400 witnesses to prove their petition and have even gone ahead to generate results of the said election, purportedly from the INEC server in which the Petitioners won the 2019 election! The Petitioners have opened their case and have so far called 58 witnesses out of the 400 originally listed in 9 days out of 10 days allotted to them to prove their case. It is now safe to assess the witnesses called thus far by the Petitioners to see if and if, they will be able to discharge the burden of prove placed on them by our electoral laws and jurisprudence. But before them, let me pose a very pertinent question, is 400 witnesses, taking into consideration our electoral laws and jurisprudence into consideration, enough to establish the case of the petitioners? Our subsequent discussion will provide answer to this question. Conventionally, once a case is before the court or a legally and fittingly constituted tribunal, it is subjuidice to discuss facts of the litigious matter within the context of the law outside the courtroom. Thank goodness, I won’t be found wanting in this regard as I am neither a lawyer nor a worker in the temple of justice. Be that as it may, while this article is not meant to be another tribunal to adjudicate on the matter, it is not out of place to analyze some curious developments pertaining to Atiku’s presidential petition so far for the number of times the tribunal has sat. It is as dramatic as it has come. Like stated above, the Petitioners have thus far called 58 witnesses from the 400 they listed. An assessment of the performance of the witnesses called thus far will show that the Peoples’ Democratic Party and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar are only chasing shadows at the tribunal. During one of the trials, the Petitioners called one witness from Enugu State. The witness averred in his witness statement on oath before the tribunal that he did transmit the result of the election in the area he officiated to the INEC server with a code provided by INEC. But during cross-examination, the witness could not provide the code as he alleged that he left the code in his phone. The witness could not also state the name of the server https://leadership.ng 2019/07/21/presidential-ele ction-petition-tribunal-the-ch asing-shadow-moves-of-atiku-ab ubakar-and-pdp/ he sent his result to. |

So Atiku hired Kenyan hacker! This guy should just go back to Kenya. He is as useless as the petition itself. |
Our server result were released by unknown INEC official~ Atiku. So this is how Atiku/PDP planned to entertain us with series of comedy in the name of tribunal witnesses? |
An expert witness subpoenaed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has explained how results were produced from INEC server. David Ayu Nyango N’jogu, an ICT data analyst from Kenya, on Friday told the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal that he used scientific method that decrypted the information contained in the server which was made available to Atiku and PDP. He said the results of the February 23 presidential election domain were registered on March 29 on the www.factsdontli eng.com website while his search on ‘Whois’ tool revealed the operator of the site was a whistleblowing INEC staff. However, under cross examination by counsel to APC, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), N’jogu admitted that he did not grant access to the site by INEC chairman. He also admitted that the same scientific method, without authorisation, can be used to alter the information contained on the website. Under cross examination by counsel to Buhari, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), the witness admitted that he did not attach any of his academic or professional certificate on the statement on oath. Also in his evidence, Joseph Gbenga, a data analyst testified that he was engaged by the PDP to analyse data from the EC8 series in 11 states which showed that the party won the February 23 election. But when Olanipekun questioned why he awarded higher margin of victory to the PDP more than it is claiming, including in Katsina which it conceded to have won, the witness said, “I worked on documents made available to me, I am not aware that the petitioners conceded defeat in Katsina.” https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/atikus-expert-witness-opens-up-how-we-got-inec-server-results.html?

The Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna on Thursday upheld the nomination of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Kaduna state in the last general election. Yahaya Shinko, a former member of the APC, had filed a suit at the court challenging the nomination of Malam Nasir El-Rufai and prayed the court to set aside the said nomination. Delivering judgement today, the presiding Judge, Justice Zainab Abubakar, ruled that Yahaya Shinko’s case lacks merit and affirmed the validity of the APC primaries that produced El-Rufai. Justice Zainab noted that the suit was filed beyond the 14 days given to institute an action challenging the outcome of the said election. She then struck out the matter for incompetence.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/just-in-kaduna-court-upholds-el-rufais-nomination-as-apc-governorship-candidate.html? |

The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) will spend 1.2 million dollars on the establishment of a football technical centre in Kebbi, an official said in Birnin Kebbi on Friday. Mohammed Sanusi, the General Secretary of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), said Kebbi was chosen for the project because NFF appreciated the zeal and commitment of the state government to sports development. ADVERTISEMENT Swade Customising₦ 5,000AdJiji.n Servi He spoke when he led an NFF delegation to the state to inspect and take possession of the four hectares of land for the establishment of the football technical centre. The NFF General Secretary said the Kebbi state government did this by ensuring sports men and women received adequate training to compete at national and international levels. ADVERTISEMENT “I think we need to commend Gov. Atiku Bagudu for providing the necessary support to the state’s Ministry of Youths and Sports to perform its functions efficiently. “FIFA is aware of the efforts being made in the area of sports development in the state, and this motivated NFF to provide support to the state through the establishment of the technical centre in the state,” Sanusi said during a visit to Gov. Bagudu. While responding, Bagudu welcomed the establishment of the centre by FIFA and said it would enhance the promotion and development of sports in the state. “In the last four years, the state ministry of sports has done well and this enabled the state to host several national and international competitions. They also played host to former foreign-based professionals such as Peter Rufai and Tijjani Babangida,’’ the governor said. He added that the state’s football team also emerged winners at a beach soccer competition held in Lagos. “About 15 students from the state have been sponsored to receive training at the Kwara Football Academy in Ilorin in furtherance of efforts to promote sports to high standard,” Bagudu said.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/fifa-to-spend-1-2m-on-establishing-football-technical-centre-in-kebbi-nff-official-says.html |
