Shehu Sani, senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th assembly, has described a recent ruling by the National and State Houses of Assembly Plateau Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos as one of the most tragic and comical rulings in the country.

Sani stated so in a post via X on Monday, saying that the justice in Nigeria has become a board game, adding that the ruling must not be allowed to stand.

He wrote: “The Sacking of Honorable Beni Lar, House of Reps member and other Legislators from Plateau State by the Election Tribunal on the grounds that “their party have no structure” is one of the most tragic and comical rulings in this season of judicial magic and mysteries. Justice is becoming a Ludo. This can’t stand and must not stand.”

On Tuesday, Justice Mohammed Tukur-led Panel 1 of the National and State Houses of Assembly Plateau Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos upturned the election of Hon. Beni Lar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as member Langtang North/South Fed constituency.

It declared Hon. Vincent of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the election.

Lar was a fifth-term member of the House of representatives.

The National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal also nullified the election of a two-term member of the House of Representatives in Plateau State, Dachung Musa Bagos.

Bagos, who represents Jos South/Jos East Federal constituency, was also elected under the PDP.

Wailers must wail.

But the court in its wisdom ruled that the interest of Atiku Abubakar in obtaining Tinubu’s records from CSU outweighs his privacy rights because by submitting his diploma to INEC, he has put his certificate to issue. That means interested parties can question its authenticity and seek verification from the issuing authority; a step leveraged by Atiku.

.....If Tinubu is clean with the CSU academic records he paraded over the years and which he presented on oath to INEC, what then is he trying to hide from Nigerians?

Eze condemned efforts by Tinubu and his team to deliberately deploy the usual delay tactics common in the Nigerian Jurisprudence in depriving justice from deserving parties, noting that regardless of their schemes, justice will be served and Nigerians will win in the long run.

Deploying every means to conceal his records does not speak well of him, taints his administration with fraud and further damages the reputation of our democracy and governance system and every responsible Nigerian should feel concerned about this mess. “It’s now about our country reputation”.

Honestly i don't understand anymore.

In as much as APC supporters are cheering them now, they should remember they are destroying the institution and shouldn't cry come 20yrs later.

It is just horrible to see how the love for unbridled corruption and institution of criminal state capture have turned once reverred Justices of our law courts into judicial terrorists.
