We have highlighted those rules in our counter affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy lords, this is aside from the fact that the depositions were not done in the court, but in private chambers,\u201d Olanipekun added.<\/p>\n<p>More so, he argued that the 180 days period allowed for the hearing of the petition that Atiku and his party filed to nullify the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, had since elapsed.<\/p>\n<p>He said it would therefore be wrong for the apex court to admit a fresh evidence at the stage of appeal, adding that Atiku ought to have joined the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as an interested party in the US proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Court of Appeal is a tribunal. The First Schedule to the Electoral Act 2022 as well as section 285 (13) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, is very clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey merely went on a fishing expedition in the US. The evidence they are seeking to tender is not at large. It cannot be compartmentalize in any where.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Alice in Wonderland knew where she was going. At least she was told where she was going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Lords, this is an application that we believe is in Wonderland. It has no merit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe courts are bound by the law. The law is to be interpreted as it is and not as it ought to be,\u201d Tinubu\u2019s lawyer argued.<\/p>\n<p>While INEC, through its lawyer, Mr. Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN, urged the court to reject Atiku\u2019s plea to be allowed to tender the CSU certificate, insisting that the time allowed for hearing of the petition had expired.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Akinola Olujimi, SAN, argued that Atiku\u2019s application lacked merit and ought to be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>He contended that the requirement of the law was that there must be an order of a court in Nigeria before the CSU could be approached to release the certificate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrder 20 Rules 6 and 7 of FHC Rules, made provision for obtaining of depositions from foreign jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey omitted that very fundamental step,\u201d Olujimi, SAN, argued.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, counsel to Atiku and the PDP, Chief Chris Uche, SAN, argued that the apex court, as the custodian of the Constitution, should overlook technicalities and do justice in the matter by admitting the fresh evidence.<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that the fact that the 180 days had elapsed should not tie the hands of the court.<\/p>\n<p>More so, Uche, SAN, told the court that contrary to the position of the Respondents, the said foreign depositions were made in the Chambers because it was a venue that was agreed upon by parties and approved by the court.<\/p>\n<p>He said the evidence obtained confirmed that the certificate that Tinubu presented to INEC, did not emanate from the University.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, while Uche, SAN, urged the court to uphold the substantive appeal and nullify the presidential election, all the Respondents prayed the court to dismiss the appeal and affirm the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Justice Okoro, who is heading the panel, stressed that the case was of great public importance.<\/p>\n<p>However, he wondered if the evidence that Atiku is seeking to tender before the court, was not geared towards establishing an allegation that has elements of crime.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Okoro noted that there were contradictory documents relating to the said CSU certificate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a criminal offence which ought to be resolved beyond reasonable doubt. So when you see this kind of discrepancies, I don\u2019t know how we can resolve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, he said: \u201cThis is a serious matter. It is not to admit the document that is difficult, but after that, what do we do with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we going to draft a charge and ask someone, did you forge these documents?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat notwithstanding, we are here to do justice and there is no room to cover anything,\u201d Justice Okoro added.<\/p>\n<p>The panel, thereafter, reserved it judgement till a date to be communicated to the parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A seven-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Inyang Okoro, okayed the matter for judgement, after
