Tribunal can decide presidential
election in 7 days – Agbakoba

Legal luminary, Olisa Agbakoba
has said it is possible to conclude
presidential election petitions in
April, provided that the court
systems are very proactive.
He noted that the tension around
the call for an interim government
was due to expectations that the
tribunal may not deliver
judgement before May 29.
Agbakoba said under arbitration
matters, orders/directions are
issued peremptorily to resolve
complex jurisdictional and
procedural issues.
His statement on Monday urged
the presidential election tribunal
to adapt the procedures very
familiar with speedy conclusion of
arbitration matters.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria
(SAN) listed the issues raised by
the Labour Party, LP, and its
candidate Peter Obi, who insists
he won the February 25 poll.
“…The interpretation of Section
134 of the 1999 Constitution as
to whether 25 percent of votes in
the FCT is compulsory; Is a
candidate permitted to stand for
election when he is also a
senatorial candidate?; Issues
regarding qualification of APC
candidates,” he said.
Agbakoba said if the petitions
were arbitration proceedings, an
arbitrator may issue a procedural
order to address all complex
disputes and deliver “a partial
final award”.
The SAN charged the tribunal and
the Supreme Court to give the
order, address the jurisdictional
issues raised, and release final
summary judgment.
“Between the tribunal and
Supreme Court, the petitions can
be resolved within 7 (seven) days
from today. This will cool the
temperature in Nigeria on the
issue of interim government etc,”
he added.
Agbakoba stated that the
required speed would be a radical
departure from the present policy
where case management plays a
limited role in judicial outcomes.
“Speed of justice is the mantra
that our judiciary must proclaim
very loudly. This is needed in the
presidential petitions proceedings
urgently,” he stressed.

Useless country

PODATTI court prayers really hit, daze and confuse tinubu and his gang.

As at this day the 4th of april, tinubu and his team are yet to respond to summons.
They are busy starring up propagandas and fake news online.

Yes, it is possible

Useless country

I beg to differ. Our country is not useless.

Interesting...

The "INEC President-Select" will wait 21 days to reply. . . .
He can only run, run, run. . .
Nigeria is pursuing the biggest THIEF IN NIGERIA.

AJIBOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

It will give no room to review evidence and do cross examination.

Absolute nonsense. The law gives the tribunal 180 days to decide on the petition for a reason. So, why rush them? LP and PDP raised a lot of frivolous issues and they didn’t file their cases until the last day of the 21 days given to them. APC will raise a lot of frivolous issues as well and they won’t file their response and cross petition till the last day of the 21 days given to them to respond. So, how will the tribunal give judgement in 7 days?

Agbakoba and some of these guys that are expected to know should stop putting unnecessary pressure on the judiciary. They have 180 days, let them take their time to do their work and examine all evidences. Why the rush?

Did INEC give room for “supplying evidence” and “careful collation”?

Was it not at 4AM the next day SHAM RESULTS were given to NIGERIANS despite ALL THE HITCHES?

Till today, INEC is still uploading results to IREV.

Yet, a winner was declared and subsequent elections postponed BY ONE WEEK.

SHAMBOLIC YES DADDY SELECTIONS.

Do you have comprehension issue or what,or just jittery that your stolen mandate will be retrieved so quickly?

Time frame is not the issue.
If you had comprehension problems, you could have asked for help.
Let it take 50 years. . . .TIEFNUBU'S SHAM PRESIDENCY WILL BE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY- DUD, NULL AND VOID.

He will be recorded as a 'near miss president'! Like the fake 'senator' title he carries around.

Nothing will give me greater satisfaction than seeing him MOVE in and OUT of ASO ROCK!
Remember. . . revenge is a dish best served really COLD.

Have just read the petition against the apc and inec

Congratulations to the president elect
Jagaban of Nigeria

I no kukuma call any body papa name

And the same constitution mandates tribunal to make decisions within 180days of the petitions so why all the fuss ?

People that were not competent when they held positions in Nigeria in the past are raising their cracked voices.

Yes the law says, within 180

"In seven days" is still within the 180 days allowed by law

The same Agbakoba will then accuse the court later that they rushed into giving the judgment, this man should stop messing with the minds of Nigerians, especially the Youths, we don't want another madman on the plane to harass innocent Nigerians
