“The PEPT verdict must be such that is tailored in ‘living and democratically progressive law’. The PEPT Justices must be reminded that the sacred collective assignment given to them by Nigerians is to factually determine the true winner and losers of the 2023 Presidential Election using the laid down rules and procedures including the collected and tabulated results in the FormEC8As and recognized electronic devices.
“It is also the assigned sacred duty of the PEPT Justices to determine the number of the ‘dead votes/results’ in the INEC announced presidential results from the country’s over 176,000 polling units and have them detached and invalidated. The awaiting verdict must be rooted in ‘spirit and letters of the law’ and not cloaked in legal loopholes or technicalities’.
“Matters involving presidential poll judicial enquiries are like matters involving mass deaths requiring judicial probes which must find answers as to: who are those killed? And when, where, how and why they were killed and who killed them?
“The Justices of the PEPT must also be allowed by the Presidency including the country’s spy police chiefs and regular police authorities to freely and morally write and deliver their verdict popularly and independently and refrain from moves strongly suggestive of forcing a scripted verdict on them prepared by the presidential “evil geniuses” to be delivered by PEPT to Nigerians and the world.
“The INEC-supervised rigging of the 2023 Presidential Poll in Nigeria is as worse as the military coups in the Republics of Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso and those going to the equity must at all times go with clean hands.
“According to the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, Nigeria’s leading research and investigative Human Rights, Democracy, Rule of Law and Citizens’ Security and Safety Advocacy Organization, “apart from a corrupt judge being worst than a demented man running amok with a sharp knife in a crowded market, he also hides under the cloak of ‘technicalities and political orbiters’ as his ‘ratio dicidendi’ or facts derived from weak laws or legal loopholes’.
“It must also be pointed out that majority of Nigerian Judges and ‘pro establishment lawyers’ have earned ‘notorious and crooked expertise’ in ‘legal technicalities (loopholes) and political orbiters’.
“These ‘crooked feats’ so achieved especially since 2015 have left Nigeria with the internationally rated or measured status of second to none in the world; to the extent that in international jurisprudential discourse, the growth of law in Nigeria amounts to under-growth of law in democracy compliant countries with international jurisprudential best practices in that killer-laws such as legal technicalities or loopholes thrive and shape the laws of countries with endemic and pandemic corruption under which Nigeria is unarguably and inescapably classified,” the statement added.
