The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo says the determination of petitions challenging the outcome of the presidential election before May 29 is not feasible. <\/p>\n

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 1 declared Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress as winner of the February 25 presidential election. <\/p>\n

But the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and that of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, kicked against the declaration and are challenging it in court. <\/p>\n

Keyamo, however, opined that those agitating for swift hearing and determination of these petitions are making things difficult for the petitioners. <\/p>\n

Keyamo<\/a> noted that those behind such agitations “are plainly ignorant or crassly mischievous\u201d as it’s impossible to amend laws and rules of court to accommodate such an idea.<\/p>\n

Keyamo bared his mind on the topical issue in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday. <\/p>\n

His assertion and perspective followed calls by some Nigerians, asking the court to ensure speedy determination of election petitions before it, especially the presidential election.<\/p>\n

Some had also argued that May 29 swearing-in should be stopped pending the determination of presidential election petitions.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Keyamo said it’s the petitioners, and not the defendants, that need more time to prove their case, stating that rushing to adjudicate on their petitions will not bode well for them. <\/p>\n

Keyamo said \u201cThose who think by such a call they are doing the Petitioners any good, do not realise that they are, in fact doing a great harm to the cases of the Petitioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cTHOSE CALLING FOR A QUICK DETERMINATION OF ELECTION PETITIONS BEFORE MAY 29TH UNDER OUR PRESENT LAWS ACTUALLY WANT TO DESTROY THE CASES OF THE PETITIONERS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose calling for the determination of the Election Petitions BEFORE the swearing-in ceremonies on MAY 29th under our present electoral laws and Rules of Court and\/or procedure are either plainly ignorant or crassly mischievous.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn future, it is possible to amend our laws and rules of court to accommodate such an idea, but it is clearly IMPOSSIBLE under our present circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who think by such a call they are doing the Petitioners any good, do not realise that they are, in fact doing a great harm to the cases of the Petitioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the Petitioners that need more TIME to prove their cases and not necessarily the defendants. That is why the Petitioners are given 21 days to file and the defendants have 14 days to respond. And the Petitioners have a further 7 days to reply, making a total of 30 days as against the 14 days of the Respondents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt follows that in leading evidence in court\/Tribunal in support of the Petitions, the Petitioners would also take more time. It is more arduous to prove an Election Petition than to defend it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these characters say a single point (let\u2019s say the FCT 25 percent storm-in-a-teacup issue) should be set down for determination immediately, would the Petitioners\u2019 lawyers agree to withdraw and abandon all other issues raised in their Petition and proceed only with that issue?<\/p>\n

\u201cWill they take that risk? Ask them privately. They know better. This is because the rules of Election Petitions do not allow Petitioners to prove their cases piecemeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Petitioner cannot pursue a single point up to the Supreme Court and after losing, return to the Tribunal or Court and say he\/she\/it wants to now prove other aspects of the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven that single point alone CANNOT be determined by the Supreme Court BEFORE MAY 29th because of the time given by the rules for parties to file their Notices of Appeal and exchange their briefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indeed only the Respondent that can raise a preliminary objection that can determine the Petition in limine (that is, at the threshold). Even at that, the rules allow the Court\/Tribunal to take the objection together with the Petition itself and give one judgment at the end in order to save time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, this is a free advice to the advocates of pre-May 29th determination of the Election Petitions: they are doing the cases of their Principals (the Petitioners) great harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should realise that just as we say \u2018justice delayed is justice denied\u2019, we also say \u2018justice rushed is justice crushed\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
