Former Senator Shehu Sani of Kaduna Central Senatorial District has responded to President-elect Bola Tinubu’s opposition to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, requesting a live broadcast of the election petition proceedings.
Remember that Tinubu, who was represented by a team of lawyers led by Chief Wole Olanipekun, asked the Tribunal to dismiss the petition.
They insisted that the application was a mockery of the court.
The respondents said;
With much respect to the petitioners, the motion is an abuse of the processes of this honourable court.
They further insisted that the petition should be ignored because the courthouse “is not a rostrum or a soapbox. It is not also a stadium or theatre. It is not an arena for ‘public’ entertainment.”
Reacting to the situation via Twitter, Shehu Sani noted that the judiciary decision will be seen as part of the tribunal’s outcome.
He wrote;
The opposition wants election tribunal proceedings televised live and the ruling party don’t want the proceedings televised live. Where the judiciary stands on this will be perceived as part of the Judgement.
