Phrank Shaibu, an aide to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on communications, says the presidential election petitions tribunal is trying to delay his principal’s quest for justice on behalf of over 200 million Nigerians.
On Wednesday, the tribunal affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 poll, prompting Abubakar to appeal the judgment.true copy of the judgement on Friday. In a statement, Shaibu said Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , has lost three “precious” days out of the 14-day period to appeal the judgment.“There can be no justification for the PEPC not making available the CTC of its so-called judgment for Atiku to continue with his quest on behalf of over 200 million Nigerians for substantial justice as opposed to the judgment rendered by the PEPC,” he said.
“It is curious that the same PEPC that claimed that the judgment was ready as at the time it was delivered on Wednesday is still grappling with typos and errors, according to available information. “Why did the PEPC not wait till next week to deliver the judgment as it would still have met the legal deadline instead of rushing to render a judgment which text is still undergoing panel beating?“It is anti-democratic of the court to steal, already at the last count, 3 precious days out of the 14-day time limit for Atiku to file his processes at the supreme court. The lost time would never be recovered.
