A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has hailed the Supreme Court’s judgment on Thursday, October 26, which upheld the Presidential Election victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adwgboruwa described the judgment as “sound in law”.
The activist lawyer blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the vehement disputes among supporters of opposing presidential parties and their parties over the conduct of the election.
He wondered why there is no provision for sanctioning INEC for failing to keep its pre-election promise to upload election results on the iREV, saying this was responsible to an extent for the loss of public confidence in the electoral process.
Despite this failure, however, he echoed the apex court’s finding that such failure could not cause the election results to be nullified.
The lawyer urged the National Assembly to set up a special committee to scrutinize the judgment of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court for the purpose of amending the Electoral Act 2022.”
