A lot of things played out at the Presidential Elections tribunal, which was held on Saturday, May 20th in Abuja. Peter Obi the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, asked the court to grant him seven weeks to produce 50 Witnesses to support his case.
Reacting to this, Festus Keyamo, the minister of Labour and Employment has said that when he said that the Presidential Election Petition can not be de-used before May 29th, some people thought he was joking, as even the petitioners need time to prove their cases.
He further said that with all that is going on, we’ll soon get to know the truths differently from the lies
More than a week ago, I tried to educate some of those calling for the ‘instant’ determination of the Presidential Election Petitions before May 29th that it is even the Petitioners that would need more time to prove their cases. Shockingly, some supposedly ‘learned’ fellows goaded the mob to believe otherwise. Now, they can see the process as it unfolds IN REALITY. “In the fullness of time, we shall separate the truths from the fantasies.”
The Petitions were adjourned till Monday, May 22nd, with the court issuing the directive that no lawyer or journalist would be allowed to enter the court proceedings with their phones and gadgets.
