Wednesday, October 30, 2019, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress in the February 23, 2019 presidential election.
The seven-member panel justices that gave the judgement was led by the Honorable Chief Justice of the federation, Justice Muhammed Tanko with honourable Justices, Rhodes-Vivour, Amiru Sanusi, Uwani Abaji, Ejembi Eko, John Inyang Okoro and Olukayode Ariwoola making up its members.
The apex court did not state reasons for the judgement, it however left the camp of the president and ruling party in celebratory mode, while members of the camp of the appellants left the court room sadder than when they came for hearing.
Notwithstanding of the feelings of the interested parties, there are some issues that need to be discussed, these issues bothers on discarding traditions of the court by the CJN Justice Muhammed Tanko.
Firstly, the noninclusion of honorable justice Mary Odili and honorable justice Sylvester Ngwuta as members of the panel of justices that heard the appeal raised concern as both justices are senior members of the Supreme court bench, and the CJN, by so doing, discarded the age long tradition of having the most senior seven justices to hear presidential petition appeals at the Supreme court.
Secondly, composition of members of panel that heard the appeal did not reflect national spread as it excluded justices from the southeast geopolitical zone in the seven justices that heard the appeal. The panel has two justices each from the northwest and southwest geopolitical zones, one each from northcentral, northeast and south south zones and zero from the southeast zone. This is also against the age-long tradition of the apex court. More worrisome is the fact that justice Sylvester Ngwuta, a senior jurist at the apex court from the southeast zone was excluded.
Thirdly, the speed at which the appeal was heard and discarded left observers worried. This is because the names of the seven-member jurists that heard the appeal were only unveiled few minutes before commencement of hearing and the verdict was given less than thirty minutes after conclusion of hearing- all these happened same day and it is unprecedented in the history of presidential appeals in Nigeria. This left Nigerians to wonder whether the whole process was mere academic exercise as the court seemed to have reached a verdict even before parties argued their briefs.
Though the public await the reasons for the decision of the apex court, the question on the lips is of everyone is whether justice was dispensed or miscarried. This can only be answered by the conscience of the seven justices that heard the appeal.

http:///s550548af191031en_ng Yeah? You mentioned the composition of the panel. What about when PDP demanded that the female head of the Appeal Court step down on account of conflict of interest, and the judge yielded? Why does PDP think it must decide the composition of the panel before which it has a case? You can't decide the color and tone of the panel You've lost all the way to the supreme Court. Hang your collective empty heads in shame and move on. When PMB lost all his cases he moved on and tried again, he never attacked the judiciary. Besides, if there's any corruption of the judiciary, guess who perpetrated it? 6 Likes |

http:///s550548af191031en_ng There is no where in our constitution or the supreme court act where it was expressly stated that the constitution of judges must reflect national character when it comes to presidential election matter. To this extent your submission lacks merrit ..and at this point let me throw it in the dustbin where atiku case belong. Non inclusion of justice Mary odili is the best thing that happens with our electoral jurisprudence. Recall , this same judge got what we called perpetual injunctions for the husband....this has frustrated all effort to try the husband. You can see she is taking undue advantage of our legal system for the benefit of her family. Such a person cannot be trusted with sensitive issues of this nature...she may end up subverting justice . Finally , both parties had submitted their writing addresses to the supreme court long ago to enable them study and pass judgement....mind you the supreme court has got more teething issues to tackle rather than waste their time on pdp drama like petition that is only good for entertainment 5 Likes |

Tonye Barcanista, so you speak of federal character in composing the panel of Supreme Court Justices to hear the appeal. And you say the names of the Justices ought to be unveiled, so that they can be influenced or what? This case is special and what proof do you have that Justices Mary Odili and Sylvester Ngwuta did not recuse themselves? Justice Sylvester Ngwuta especially?
In appealing the ruling of the Presidential Elections Petition Tribunal, one of the documents submitted by the petitioners is the tribunal judgement. The judgement was studied by the Lord Chief Justices, and whatever anyone wants to say, the tribunal judges did a thorough job. I mentioned before that Atiku shouldn't appeal the judgement of the tribunal because his petition was watery.
What their Lordships just did is a precedent. Atiku would have done better to prove a strong case at the tribunal, thereby causing a split in the judgement. For example, he could have argued underage voting, violence, inflation of votes and prove them convincingly so that the margin of defeat would be lower after unlawful votes are deducted, thereby forcing the tribunal to order a rerun. But how on earth can anyone prove that 3 million votes were flawed? It is herculean.
Taking that appeal to the Supreme Court is gross abuse of our judicial system. Some people need to be jailed. 5 Likes |
