"Expects Media To Hold Tinubu Accountable" Falana Reacts To Supreme Court Judgment

A renowned human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana expressed his lack of surprise regarding the Supreme Court judgment that cleared the path for the inauguration of President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on May 29.

In an exclusive interview with Vanguard on Saturday, Falana shared his views on the matter.

The Supreme Court recently dismissed an appeal filed by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the presidential election held on February 25. The court ruled that the appeal lacked merit and was brought forth in bad faith.

The PDP’s appeal was based on allegations that the Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, had been nominated for more than one constituency, which they argued should invalidate Tinubu’s candidacy.

However, Falana noted that he was not surprised by the Supreme Court’s decision, as the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal had already dismissed the same action.

Falana emphasized that under the current electoral regime, all candidates cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and issued a Certificate of Return are legally entitled to be sworn in on May 29.

He also highlighted the timeline for petition resolution and appeals, stating that they should be determined within 180 days and 60 days, respectively.

Regarding the public discourse surrounding the Supreme Court judgment, Falana expressed his confusion, as all governors and legislators elected across different political parties are scheduled to be inaugurated on May 29.

Some clowns who think swearing in of a country's president is same as changing the chairman of village market have run to court to stop the inauguration. Their reason? 25% in FCT. grin

The clowns were expecting judges to come sit down and be discussing that dogshit when there are important things to do. The reason for stopping swearing in must be such that it is clearly and gravely in conflict with the constitution of the land.

The toad was even threatening thunder and brimstone in the event of swearing in Tinubu. Anyway, I go stay my house dey watch inauguration for Channels, thank God fed govt for kukuma declare 29 public holiday. cheesy

Which media. TVC or The Nation Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda newspaper

Falana is yet to come to grasp what Nigeria as a whole has gotten into

The quote below says it all

"Mr Tinubu’s many controversies, from perjury, multiple identities, corruption to documented drug-trafficking, are also beginning to embolden the country’s darker instincts, with politicians, officials and security operatives, making a show of competing for who is the baddest gangster."
