The chairman of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, Justice Tsammani has allowed Atiku’s Lawyer, Chief Chris Uche, SAN, to file a reply to the reply of Tinubu and APC’s lawyers to his response to their written address.

To make it clearer for easier understanding, at the conclusion of trial, the respondents (INEC, Tinubu, Shettima and APC) were supposed to file a written address.

The petitioners (Atiku, Obi, PDP and LP) would then respond to the respondents final written address.

The respondents will then file a reply to the response of the petitioners and that would be the end.

But coming to court today, PDP’s lead counsel, Chris Uche filed another reply to the reply of the respondents which is a departure from tradition.

After an argument between the PDP lead counsel and the learned judges, the chairman of the tribunal in his wisdom said he was allowing the reply to stand because “the young ones are watching”.

Who said our little push and pressure is not working?

With trials and adoption of written addresses concluded today, we now await the date of judgment while trusting that the judiciary will give an impartial and unbiased judgment.

Still, All Eyes On The Judiciary!

Hmmm… Wahala in the courtroom.

Justice Tsammani and PDP SAN Uche are going at each other

Tsammani: Chief Uche, why did. You file a reply. You are not supposed to file a reply.
You are a petitioner and entitled to file final address presenting your case and not file a reply to their own address
You don’t have right of reply.

Hmmmmm

PDP: You said we can file this reply on 5th July

Tsammani: Learned silk it’s a matter of common sense

Tsammani: You filed 160 pages
Your final written address is 40 pages
Another one is 42 pages and another final address here again is 120 pages

PDP: They are different cases to different final address

Tsammani: Then you file one written address

PDP: No my lord it has never been done like that, they are different respondents and they all filed on different days on different issues, why would you say I should file one address, I don’t agree to that.

“The whole court is murmuring
Hmmm what sort of technicality is this”

Tsammani: So if you have 10 respondents you will file 10 final addresses

PDP: I will file addresses to all of them because they filed on different dates and different issues, so I have to address them all according
The proper thing we have always done is respond to all of them.

Tsammani: Chief Uche, I have pointed out to you what I want and that is it

PDP: My lords, they filed separately

Justice Bolaji: So you filed 3 replies, I have not seen where a plaintiff would file reply to defendants reply.

PDP: My lord we were definite on what we wanted to do abinitio and we deliberately replied to all of them separately because they boxed us from different angles, so we had to box them each.

Tsammani: So you have 3 different ones here and also a letter.

SAN Uche: Oh, okay take out the letter and leave our 3 addresses

Justice Bello: Learned silk, the law states final address and not final addresses you should have responded to it together.

Justice Tsammani: So you are saying the letter can go.

SAN Uche: Yes my lord, that one is just an explanation but the 3 others must stay, it is only right that we address them each finally.

Justice Tsammani: Okay, I will allow it, because this matter is critical and the whole nation is attentive and I don’t want people to leave here and start saying another thing because when we leave here now don’t be surprised what we would read out there, you know all these our young ones.


Ahn Ahn, it’s like Justice Tsammani is on Twitter oh
Who are the young ones he’s referring to
Sirdam, it’s like Justice Tsammani came to vawulence space oh 😭🤣😭

Young ones where are you guys oh, you people are scaring the judges 🤣🤣🤣

The attentiveness and engagement of more and more people into Nigerian politics is a beautiful thing

Long may it continue

justice must by done and heaven will not fall

The Young Ones are the Obidients na.
If Justice Tsunami abi whatever his name is do anyhow, he will collect wotowoto from we Obidients.

Neck pressing mode activated

So that when they throw out Giiiriiigoooorrryyy Pitobi case outside, those on the fence wont start to say another thing

This man is wiser than Achebe and Chimamanda put together

His skull isnt flat

God bless you chris Uche

Justice must be served and heaven will not fall.

I didn't see anywhere the Justice mentioned 'the young ones are watching', or words to that effect.

He said he would allow it 'because the whole nation is attentive'.

PDP strategy of filing 3 different final replies is not the usual practice and you can see the Justices were irritated and only allowed it in order to avoid controversy.

One of the Justices even mentioned the number of pages of each of the 3 PDP 'final' written addresses. Is there any other way of saying 'this is ridiculous'. I don't think so.

Irritating Justices in this way in the very last acts of a long case is poor strategy because that irritation will likely stay in their minds as the begin to write their judgements in the coming days and weeks.

Lol!

If hate hadn’t blinded your eyes, mind and heart, you would have at least read and seen that we are talking about Atiku and PDP here.

But like programmed robots, you lots must always rehash the instruction you have been given in your WhatsApp groups even when it’s totally out of contest.

Is this how much Obi is tormenting you people?

Where is your gun and grenades? The judgement is against you already. If you read the mood of the court, you will know where judgement will swing. So be ready to shoot your guns😂😂😂.

Go back and read the section I bolded.

I even made it bold but your support for Tinubu still blinded your eyes.

Well, just know that our little pressures are working.

They’ve been hearing our noise.

They’ve been listening to our voices.

They know that the nation is watching.

And they know that the young ones are watching.

Agbado master might enjoy the fruit of his criminality after all.

What’s my business with Wale Edun’s screening?

He can fucking go and continue washing Tinubu’s urine-dampened pampers.

And by the way, don’t be confident the courts will retain Tinubu.

There will be surprises.

Those papers were just accepted by the judges to clear the doubts of people like you. So far the act of the PDP lawyer is not in the court rules concerning this case, I can tell you that the judges will not even open those documents because it is outside the laws guiding the case. You know that but just choose to be economical with the truth.

Nothing like rerun. Awolowo vs Shagari 1979 SC judgement settled this matter already.

Breaking court rules is what you dey carry shoulder ontop?.. You even dey call the shenanigans "pressure on the judiciary", you kids don't know say if court flog you, na hin dey pain pass.

i dont have time for this your small children tactics, am on this thread to appreciate Atiku lawyer called chris uche for his boldness in the court today. So if you are ready to talk to me lets discus about Atiku Mr unifier because this thread belongs to him.

Is this how much Obi is tormenting you people?

Obi is giving them a sleepless night, they know that Atiku is a threat to their president select but they are just trying to play their small children tactics here.

The judiciary have a legal precedence to set with the way they adjusted on this 2023 presidential election tribunal.

Atiku case, you are bringing Peter Obi. Your mumu never do?

Of course, the young ones need to know that playing an Mmesoma like Peter Obi is doing doesn't pay.

Fines would be dish out accordingly just as we have seen in previous judgements like the 25% Abuja case taken to court by Abuja Ibo residents.

The most favourable judgment I can envisage Tinubu getting from the courts is a rerun that he would participate which would be suicidal because he won’t win it.

That’s why I am tempted to believe the report that Wike is trying to buy the judges to give favourable judgment to Tinubu because he fears Tinubu will lose a rerun.

And truly, Tinubu will lose woefully.
