President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, SAN, has called for the live broadcast of the proceedings of the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in the interest of openness, justice, transparency and trust in the judiciary.He made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday.

The NBA President noted that “a live telecast is in the interest of the people of Nigeria. Section 36 (1) and (3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that judicial proceedings should be conducted in public.”

“Providing public access to the proceedings would meet the aspirations of the public to participate in the process,” he further said.

There should even be a law that compels the judiciary to invite the media and broadcast the election proceedings live. We don't want the media to use their words and summarize what happened. We want to see everything with our two eyes .

Mr Balabloo-blu-bulava cocaine-heroin drug baron committed forgery/perjury, forged primary/secondary school certificates, was involved in identity theft, rejected BVAS/IREV, hired fake agbadorian bishops and was running from court summons. Let's see whether he will also kick against this live telecast of his trial.

Reinaldo:
@Freestuffsng Come and read a true story.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
Supported, we need to know the members of the evil structure in the judiciary. A tribunal proceeding should not be a secret affair.

Every Nigerian needs to know what is going on. Everybody is an interested party. It has to be televised live like Oputa panel.
