Fabiyi Oladimeji, the Deputy Director, support group, Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, has given reasons the former Vice President will not get justice at the Appeal Court Presidential Election Petitions’ Tribunal.

Oladimeji was reacting to the Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa’s decision to recuse herself from the petition of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar against President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He saluted Justice Bulkachuwa’s courage to reach such decision but described the development as trap for PDP and Atiku.

Oladimeji, the National President of Turaki Vanguard, said this in a statement he signed and made available to DAILY POST on Thursday morning.

He said, “I wish to salute the courage of Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa for recusing herself from the tribunal, her action will no doubt raise the image of the judiciary in the eye of the public.

“However, the ruling of the Appeal court is trap for the PDP and Atiku Abubakar, apart from the fact that it has shown that the appeal court justices will not be fair to Atiku in the matter, their lordship ruling showed bias by concluding that there is no evidence to show for it.

“The law does not say there must be “allegation” but likelihood of bias. One then wonders what more likelihood the justices of the appeal courts are looking for to arrive at unbiased position.

“There is no single dissent ruling, this means that their lordships are speaking in one voice and that may mean that Atiku and PDP may not get justice on the appeal court

“Let me refresh our memories when the EFCC wrote to the Chief Judge of the High court to ensure that Justice Binta Nyako does not handle any of its corruption cases because her husband was a Governor and Politician with bias in PDP. The administrative request led to recusal ofJustice Binta from all corruption cases filed by the efcc.

“Secondly, respected Justice Odili, the wife of former Gov odili of Rivers State has never sat on any PDP case.

“In the final analysis, Atiku and PDP should challenge the Appeal court ruling at the Supreme Court so that it will not be used in the future in a glaring case of this nature.”

If all the appeal court judges could not see a "bias" or a "likelihood of bias" to arrive at its decision, one can assume they won't give fair judgement.. not even one saw a bias, not a single one.

Even a layman would see likelihood of bias..

A precedent has been set. Mary Odili, Kerekere Ekun and Rhodes will all hv to recuse themselves when the case reaches the supreme court. For those saying Mary Odili recuse herself in case of Wike and Peterside, I guess they think they talking to ignorant people as regards Nigerian politics.

There is no clean court in Nigeria. Atiku is wasting his time if he expects to get to a court free of political fraternity or bias. Not in this country!

Look at this Ingrate,u people said the woman should step down,now she did and u are saying ATIKU will not get JUSTICE, definitely ATIKU and pdp are just playing to the gallery, if u know u have a good case go ahead and fight it, of course the JUDGES are right if with the reason based on why the woman stepped down,
Abi Atiku and PDP want the entire 5 man judge to vacate their seats and put MARY ODILI, WALTER ONNOGHEN, MIKE OZEIKOME,OLISA AGBAKOBA and Co to head the TRIBUNAL?

You see how useless these guys have become? Those queuing behind this crying party are just wasting the small remaining liquid in their brain.

After your request has been granted by the woman you still call it a trap. Have you guys ever been out of trap?

Even your petition is a trap on its own cos you people are making no sense.

Spit!

I don't even understand what this PDP wants, on an earlier thread about the Justice who stepped down someone said PDP would look for another excuse but I didn't know it would be this soon.
Just as you said if they have a strong case then let them go ahead and present it instead of disturbing Nigerians or they want the tribunal to just declare Atiku as the winner with no facts

Why? I don't see "likelihood of bias". You might as well claim bias just because a person is from the same state or they share a gender or religion. We are not all stupidly that way inclined!

People forget that these people are professionals who rely on evidence and not the nonsense people think up in their heads! Personally, I doubt an appeal would be entertained. This woman showed intergrity by reclusing herself, a fact some people can't bring themselves to commend.

Really? You must be seeing things through your myopic view. I bet if he wins you'd be here claiming the the court was "free of political fraternity or bias".

PDP are very useless
