Senior lawyers hail verdict
Senior lawyers yesterday praised the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court which affirmed President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the February 23 election.Those who spoke include Senior Advocates of Nigeria Robert Clarke, Femi Falana and Rotimi Jacobs.
“And the petition is hereby dismissed in its entirety,” lead judge Mohammed Garba said after the judgment that lasted several hours yesterday. “Secondly, on the question of certificate, the Constitution says you either have a certificate or you have attained certain training. Buhari went to the army and came out as a General.“The school, even if nobody brought any evidence, the military that was produced at the tribunal was enough to indicate that he went to school, he sat for an exam and he entered an institution that was higher than a school certificate and he came out as a General. So, don’t let us beat about the bush.
“Since President Buhari has said that the victory belongs to the Nigerian people, then the federal government should be retrieved from western and Chinese imperialism and manned by the genuine representatives of the Nigerian people.
