The evidence that is being bandied and touted about should be taken to the Supreme Court, and if already there, should be left there to see if it will be accepted as extraordinary evidence. We will soon see the outcome, DV. In the meantime, let us please have some peace, respite and quiet. Atiku Abubakar’s publicists have become the interpreters of our laws, by passing verdicts on matters that are before the Supreme Court. The jurisdiction of the court must continue to be held sacrosanct and without prejudice. All the media attacks by Atiku’s publicists are ill-intentioned, destructive, and provocative to say the least, and should be stopped forthwith. Law courts are not comedy halls for exhibiting comical skills to please the audience. Law courts are hallowed chambers and temples of lustice, where issues are presented, argued, and judgments delivered; based on the evidence canvassed beyond reasonable doubt.
The current attempts to blackmail the Supreme Court over the election matter only leaves a sour taste in our mouths. Political desperation strategies cannot be equated with judicial adjudication; there are extant laid down procedures for issues like this. The Supreme Court is a court of jurisprudence and cannot suddenly acquire new status because one Waziri Atiku Abubakar seeks to become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What is right is right. Atiku Abubakar must tell his publicists to put a stop to the media blackmail and armtwisitng. He cannot be a Judge in his own case, and or the accuser and the Judge, all because of his desperate desire to ascend the throne of political leadership of the country. Our nation is a sovereign nation. The present challenges facing Nigeria, are enormous; and how to address these challenges to birth a new dawn is our immediate and deliberate concern now, to take the country to greater heights. We cannot be bugged down by a man who thinks his wishes must be done by all means.
