This will cool the temperature in Nigeria on the issue of interim government etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speed proposed here requires a radical departure from our present judicial policy where case management plays a very limited role in judicial outcomes. Case management is the spirit and driving force of modern adjudication. Speed of justice is the mantra that our judiciary must proclaim very loudly. This is needed in the presidential petition proceedings urgently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The timeframe allowed by law for which an election petition must be heard and judgement delivered is 180 days from the date of the filing of the petition.<\/p>\n<p>An appeal from a decision of an election tribunal or court must be heard and disposed of within 60 days from the date of the delivery of the judgment of the tribunal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olisa Agbakoba, a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has charged the presidential election tribunal on swift delivery of judgement on petitions before it.
