Timi Frank, a former deputy spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress , has asked the supreme court to put Nigeria first.to hear the appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu’s February election.
The presidential election petitions tribunal had dismissed the former vice-president’s petition, prompting him to go to the supreme court. In a statement on Saturday, Frank said the court is the last line of defence for the country’s democracy.“This is not about Atiku Abubakar, it’s not all about Peter Obi, it’s not about the APM party but it is about the legacy and precedent that you are about to hand down in Nigeria,” he said.
“The supreme court as the last line of defense of democracy and the rule of law must fulfil its duty and this is the moment to do so. “Therefore this is not the time to base your ruling on technicalities. Judge within your conscience and God to know if the arguments before you are viable or not.“This is not time for the supreme court to reject any evidence that is germane to unraveling the truth and doing justice in the case notwithstanding arguments that the supreme court will not admit new evidence.
