Statement of Justice Misitura Bolaji-Yusuf on Atiku, Obi against Tinubu

The justice said:

“The petitioners did not understand the explanation of the first respondent or were just fixated on their belief that they won the election without any cogent and credible evidence, and they did not even bother to place such credible evidence before this court.

“Were they expecting the court to go and gather evidence from the street or the market? Or to be persuaded or intimidated by threats on social media. That is not the way of the court.”

“This short clip answers a lot”.

Zegelicious queried:

“And the judges were mute when INEC refused to give copies of IREV or EC8 forms to respondents.

“Did they compel INEC to do it?

“And come out to talk like pregnant persons.”

Jokotoye Olawale replied to him:

“You don’t even know who a “Respondent” is.

“Imagine and una get loud mouth.

“He said the respondent.”

Abdul-Mumin posited:

“Aswear, they were expecting the judges to get evidence from social media.”

DY explained that:

“When you try to intimidate the judiciary, you get a pushback. Then they show you they know the law both as lawyers and Judges. This is one time the Judges countered every line, probably even deeper than Tinubu’s lawyers could ever have done.”
