Pressure on two presidential tribunal justices to resign, NGO raises alarm
FIDA
By Olasunkanmi Akoni

A Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, Face Of Waziri-Nigeria, FOWN, said strong indications have emerged of frantic effort to frustrate at least two of the Justices at Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, to resign, in order to make mess of the judicial panel.

The group’s Director General, comrade Bukky Adeniyi, stated this in a statement issued in Lagos, on Thursday.

Adeniyi, maintained that “given the existing legal proviso which necessitates a replacement and retrieval in case the Justices resign and consequently translates to buying time beyond that stipulated by the Supreme Court is a ploy to make the case statute barred and of no effect.”

FOWN, allegedly stated “there is surreptitious move by President BolaTinubu to make the Justices resign which is targeted at ensuring the time frame of 180 days elapses before the case is concluded by the panel.”¹

According to Adeniyi; “The Justice has not resigned at the moment but we have it on good authority that Mr. Tinubu and his team are seriously working hard to threaten and frustrate one or two of them to resign so that the panel will be bereft of jurisdiction at this stage.

“This will lead to replacement and retrieval de novo. In which case, it will be statute barred once outside the 180 days stipulated by the constitution and attendant of which ends the matter, because Supreme Court cannot extend time.

“At the moment Tinubu is pressuring the tribunal. He wants two judges to withdraw or resign from the panel.

“A particular Governor formerly with the PDP but now in APC sequel Tinubu’s blessing from South-South is delegated to use document of money exchange between the government of that state and one or two of the justices in the past for judgement favour then, as a proof to harass and intimidate the justices to shift the judgement of the tribunal in their favour.

The group however raised some poser on the matter: “How do you explain if at all such money exchange occurred in the past, to now want to use such to blackmail the Justice.?

“Did the Justice or justices demands for money the governor gave then or was given as thank you? In whatever case, the tribunal matter is different from whatever transaction they had together in the past.

“He faulted the recent move by the counsel to the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar to subpoena the institution on the need to ascertain authenticity of documents relating to his attendance at Chicago State University.

“Abubakar had in a petition dated July 11, 2023, by and through his attorneys, requested the court to “issue subpoena commanding a corporate representative of Resident Chicago State University (Respondent) to appear for deposition upon oral examination of the topics set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto at the offices of Dechert LLP at 35 West Wacker Drive, Suite 3400, Chicago, Illinois 60601 on July 21, 2023 at 9.00am”

The respondent is expected among other things to, “testify and give evidences and in support thereof states as follows: “That non-party Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently the President of Nigeria and is facing various court proceedings concerning his election and the authenticity of documents relating to his attendance at Chicago State University; “That Mr. Tinubu had previously asserted that he attended various educational institutions located in the Chicago area, including but not limited to Chicago State University; “To test the truth and veracity of Mr. Tinubu’s assertions, Petitioner must depose a corporate representative of Respondent Chicago State University (Respondent) regarding educational record or lack thereof, from respondent,” among others.

Na lie. The chairman, board of trustees of the Royal Nigeria corp is the only one who can dissolve the country. And that is after an unanimous vote by all the board members. Not all these ants that are forming Rambo.

No smoke without fire.

Nigeria!
A country where there is always FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE!

What a country of sheer greed and wickedness!
And they claim to be Christians and Muslims.
What they worship, I can never understand.

One thing is sure Tinubu DID NOT WIN the February 25th election.
Whatever gimmicks he wants to use, He'd be humbled.
A Thief can not lead Nigeria again.

What Tinubu doesn't know is that Nigeria is NOT APC

Tinubu lost that election clear
He got the least amount of votes but rigged poorly
Even the rigging was not clean

That was his plan from the beginning because he knew that majority of nigerians will not vote for him but he is confidence that after rigging the election to win by crook he will use his power to threaten judiciary but his plan will fail.

Tinubu is a GONER.
The Truth has finally caught up with him

With those evidence dumped on the tribunal? Stop grandstanding. Your case lacks substance.

This one is mentioning obi, 3rd class who came third in election as expected in the same sentence with winning tribunal. You better go and be gathering vocabularies you will use to abuse judges, Tinubu and APC because obi will loose badly. Obi never proved anything with all the refuse he dumped at Tribunal with entertainment that followed and yet, you are expecting magic to happen. Only way you can low your blood pressure after judgement is to accept from now that obi is not in the race of serious fellows at tribunal

Shatap ewu

Maybe now that an NGO is saying it and Vanguard is reporting it, the idiots that were in doubt would now believe it that there’s pressure on the Tribunal to subvert justice.

Fools will be here saying that Obi submitted nothing in court that is worth breaking a sweat for but their paymasters are scared to their pants trying to buy the judges.

Right now, the only acceptable decision from the court would be Tinubu’s sacking. Any other thing would simply mean they were bought.

POL 909: Political Abracadabra

Una never see something MN.

Shameless idiots even admit that a past governor did gave the judges money in exchange for favourable judgements in the past. Are such corrupt judges supposed to sit over election petition or any other case for that matter?

Now they are punching him below the belt....

The key to perjury proof lies with the US homeland security & Chicago State University. Make them deposit under oath, they will tell the truth!

It's Fair to assert that Tinubu bought his way to CSU, using another person identity, paid for by a drug cartel who Akande is affiliated to. He promptly recruited Asiwaju into the cartel.

Asiwaju should just understand that party is over!

Fake news from losers and betrayers.

PBAT by the grace of God.

Can’t imagine someone will write long epistles on a mere rumor. Nawa ooo
