Read their blueprint. Most of their parts aren't manufactured here. Same for Nord.

Only Innoson has achieved 70% raw materials till date.

We need all their materials to be locally sourced for the sake of our economy. Of the thousands of minerals in the world we are blessed with quite a substantial amout of the highly sort after ones globally.

We need to convert them and make use of them in cases like this.

If he comes here in Nigeria to swear under oath before the Supreme Court that Tinubu's degree certificate submitted to INEC is not from CSU, you will still contest that he is not a Nigerian, therefore has no interest in the case.

You have a country whose presidents are selected but not elected. They have led you to become the official poverty capital of the world. Until your head starts to shrink due to abject poverty, you will regret what ethno-religious bigotry in choice of apex political leaders did to you.

MXrep:
They only turned down the request to fast track the release of the documents. The documents will still be released but Tinubu protested against the suit to fast track the release so that Atiku will not use it to finish him at supreme Court

discusant:


There is only one God.
A statement made under oath anywhere is like swearing before God that what you are about to say is the truth and nothing but the truth. The CSU man made statement under oath in the office of Atiku's lawyer in the US - and so what's wrong with where he took the oath? Does God not exist in the office of Atiku's lawyer?
Any how, you feigned ignorance of the portion of the proceedings where it was stated that the US system of oath administration is different from Nigeria's. A statement on oath is the most acceptable statement in court.

Kwontinue with hiding the truth. Think about next election. A wheel barrow pusher without Primary School Certificate can follow Tinubu's footprints on forgery and win presidential election if these judges have your type of mindset.

rollywise:
So I read through comments of those still supporting Tinubu and I am tempted to believe they are fake accounts created to counter reason and logic. That's the only logical explanation cuz I don't see how a sane Nigerian will be behind this clueless government except the person has been sworn on to like and die suffering. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Deepthoughts:
There are some funny things i noticed in this record of proceedings,how come only the Igbo judges asked all the questions?, does it mean all the other judges had no questions to ask or their minds are already made up?, secondly,if justice okoro said,there were two conflicting letters from CSU on the authenticity of Tinubu's certificate,who submitted the letters?,n doesn't that in itself show that something is definitely not right with Tinubu's certificate and there's the need for the supreme Court to examine the issue very critically? like Atikus lawyer said,is the deposition under path not supposed to be Superior to the conflicting letters?, the way i see the whole of this is that,the supreme Court, wants to pass their judgement n there by shifting the responsibility to the NASS should the FBI files returns a damning results against Tinubu,to claim that their hands were tied but deep down within them they all know there's something very dubious about Tinubu's certificate.

SensetionalGoal:



Are you being serious right now
Talk show in a girls office

See CSU are not meant to bring anyone to court... Their deposition is enough and can be tenderd in any law court that is the standard practice
The supreme court should not waste time to admit that CSU documents and critically examine it ... Thiefnibu should not escape on this one, he should be hold accountable for his forgeries

SensetionalGoal:
I thought some people are educated in this forum but I just realized they are bunch of noise makers who can't read and comprehend...

Tinubus US lawyer was there when CSU representative deposition took place that makes it legal and can be tenderd in any court of law as evidence.

Let me be just be watching you clowns

BJanta:



Funny? No . They no brain at at all. They CANNOT decipher Wole Olanipekun and Olujinmi's superior arguments and Justice Okoro's rider - whether the depositions were done in court or somewhere else, and to which Atiku's response was ' Atiku's Attorney's office in the US ' This necessitates the need for the deponent to appear on court for cross examination. Then consider the legal strength of China Wole Olanipekun's joke and the response of the entire court audience, you'll see THERE'S NO CASE.

Irony1:


If i were you just be silent and have small shame, all this propaganda games no dey work again.

9.16 a.m: Akin Olujinmi, a SAN, announces legal representation for the APC.

9:18 a.m.: Chris Uche, a SAN, says the appeals are ripe for hearing.

Mr Uche says there are some pending interlocutory applications.

09:20 a.m.: Mr Uche moves a motion filed 6 October 2023.

He seeks five minutes of adumberation of the application.

We are praying for an order of leave to present fresh evidence on appeal based on the deposition on oath from Chicago State University.

He says the application is predicated on 20 grounds and an affidavit of 20 paragraphs filed on behalf of Atiku.

Mr Uche says upon the receipt of counter-affidavit from Mr Tinubu, APC and INEC, we filed a written address dated 18 October.

Mr Uche adopts the application and urges the court to grant their request.

9.26 a.m.: He says the issue involving Mr Tinubu’s certificate is a weighty, grave and constitutional one, which the Supreme Court must decide. He urges the court to admit the fresh evidence of President Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University presented by Atiku.

He says the Supreme Court has a duty to take a look at Mr Tinubu’s records and reach a decision devoid of technicality.

9:28 a.m.: The presiding justice, Mr Okoro, asks Mr Uche whether the Supreme Court should rely on the Electoral Act or the Constitution.

In his response, Mr Uche says the issue about Mr Tinubu’s certificate is a constitutional matter which the court should look into.

9:29 a.m.: A member of the panel, Emmanuel Agim, asks Mr Uche to explain the nature of Atiku’s fresh documents he seeks to tender before the Supreme Court.

9:32 a.m. Justice Agim asks whether the testimony by CSU registrar was conducted in a court.

Justice Agim says from Mr Uche’s court filing, the testimony by the CSU registrar held in Atiku’s lawyer’s law office in the US.

9:35: am: Justice Agim says the CSU did not issue any letter discrediting Mr Tinubu’s certificate
“We are dealing with a matter that touches on the national unity of Nigeria,” the Justice adds.

9:36 a.m: Justice Okoro seeks clarification from Atiku’s lawyer, Mr Uche.

9.38a.m.: Mr Okoro asks Mr Uche why he wants the Supreme Court to brush aside constitutional provisions and entertain the fresh evidence.

09:39 a.m.: Mr Uche explains that Section 233 of the constitution gives the Supreme Court the power to entertain questions about whether a person has been properly elected.

9:43 a.m.: Mr Uche responds to the issue raised about the CSU proceedings.

“There is a slight distinction between proceedings in the US and the UK.
“In the US, that is how court proceedings are done.
“Mr Tinubu was represented by a US lawyer, but he did not object to the proceedings being held in Atiku’s lawyer’s office.”

Mr Uche says depositions are more effective than letters from the CSU authorities regarding the authenticity of Mr Tinubu’s academic records.

9:43 a.m: Justice Okoro says criminal matters have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. But that in this case, there are two conflicting letters from the CSU – one authenticating the president’s certificate and another discrediting it. “Which do we rely on?” he asked.

Mr Uche refers the court to a letter earlier issued to Michael Enahoro-Ebah, a lawyer, who testified for Atiku against Mr Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja.

9:48 a.m.: INEC lawyer, Abubakar Mahmoud, asks the Supreme Court to dismiss Atiku’s application seeking to tender Mr Tinubu’s academic records.

9:49a.m.: Mr Olanipekun, who is Mr Tinubu’s lawyers, urges the Supreme Court to “dismiss this very unusual application” seeking to tender fresh evidence against Mr Tinubu.

He says the fresh evidence is not admissible.

Mr Olanipekun argues that the CSU depositions are dormant until the deponent comes to court and testify. INEC should have been a party at the deposition proceedings in the US, the lawyer says.

Mr Olanipekun further says the question of 180 days (the statutory period within which an election petition should be filed and determined) is clear. It is sacrosanct. It cannot be shifted. Therefore, Atiku cannot seek to tender fresh evidence at the Supreme Court.

9.51 a.m.: Mr Olanipekun wonders how the Supreme Court will compartmentalise Atiku’s fresh evidence. “This is an application in wonderland. It has no merit. We urge the court to dismiss.

“The courts are bound by the law, and the law is to be interpreted as it is,” he says.

10:a.m.: Akin Olujinmi addresses the Supreme Court.
“This application lacks merit, it is misconceived and we urge the court to dismiss it,” the APC lawyer says.

Mr Olujinmi adopts Mr Olanipekun’s arguments.

“You cannot smuggle in a document into the Supreme Court without first tendering same at the trial court,” the lawyer added.

10:04 a.m: Justice Okoro asks, “what do we do with the fresh evidence?”

Mr Olujinmi says the burden is on Atiku to prove why the fresh evidence should be admitted by the Supreme Court.

10:05 a.m: Mr Uche responds to Tinubu’s lawyers regarding the CSU proceedings.

10.06 a.m.: Mr Uche says the CSU depositions can be used in the Nigerian court.

10:11 a.m.: Mr Olanipekun informs the court of a motion his team filed on 7 October praying for the striking out of some of the appellants’ grounds of appeal.

10:12: a.m.: Chris Uche says, in opposition, that his team filed a counter-affidavit on 18 October. He says the counter-affidavit is accompanied by a written address.

“We urge the court to dismiss Mr Tinubu’s motion,” he adds.

10:14 a.m.: Supreme Court begins hearing of substantive appeal in Atiku’s case against Mr Tinubu.

Mr Uche adopts his court filings in the substantive appeal.

He urges the court to allow the appeal, and set aside the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court.

He says germane constitutional issues are involved in the appeal, therefore, the Supreme Court should critically examine the appeal.

10:17 a.m: INEC lawyer, Mr Mahmoud addresses the court.

He prays the court to dismiss the appeal as it lacks merit.

Mr Olanipekun jokingly points out the contradictions in Atiku’s prayers, where he prayed the court to disqualify Mr Tinubu as a candidate in the election, and in another breath, called for a rerun to be conducted between him and Mr Tinubu.

Courtroom erupted into laughter.

10:24 a.m.: Court rises for a five-minute recess.

10:52 a.m.: Mr Olanipekun addresses the court. He urges it to strike out APM’s grounds of appeal.

10:53 a.m.: APM lawyer said he filed a counter-affidavit to Mr Olanipekun’s motion seeking to strike out the appeal.

He prays the court to allow the appeal.

“What will you gain if you win this appeal,” Justice Okoro asks APM lawyer.

11:00 a.m: APM lawyer tries to justify the merit in his client’s case.

But he now moves to withdraw the appeal.

The APM lawyer says, “I apply to withdraw this appeal.”

INEC lawyer is not opposed to the withdrawal of the appeal.

APC’s and Tinubu’s lawyers also have no objection.

11:13 a.m.: Court calls Peter Obi’s appeal challenging Mr Tinubu’s election.

11:14: a.m.: Mr Obi’s lawyer, Livy Uzoukwu, a SAN, announces appearance.

11:16 a.m: Tinubu’s lawyer asks the court in a preliminary objection to dismiss Mr Obi’s appeal for lacking in merit.

11:22 a.m.: Mr Uzoukwu begins arguments in Mr Obi’s substantive appeal.

He adopts all court processes, urging it to allow the appeal.

11:23 a.m: INEC lawyer, Mr Mahmoud, says we filed a brief of argument.

“We humbly adopt all the arguments and urge my Lordships to dismiss the appeal for lacking in merit,” Mr Mahmoud says.

11:26 a.m: Olanipekun argues Mr Tinubu’s case.

He adopts the court filings, praying the court to dismiss the appeal.

11:27 a.m.: APC lawyer, Mr Olujinmi also adopts his client’s brief of argument.

He urges the court to dismiss the appeal for being un-meritorious.

11: 30 a.m.: “This appeal is reserved for judgement until a date to be communicated to parties,” Justice Okoro says.

Nonny95:
There’s one letter and one deposition under oath. As a judge, Principle of Orality’ in Litigation must be appreciated.

A deposition under oath is not a letter, infact it gives clearer view to anyone's sworn statement, which the Judge is trying to create technicality for.

If your written statement is yes and during cross examination your yes turns no, then you're not saying the truth.

When you remember this is Nigeria and not Netflix then you will understand this statement from a judge.

We know justice okoro's antecedents, he should go on to approve certificate forgery. Nigerians will remember him for that.
