NOW THAT ATIKU HAS DECIDED TO GO TO COURT, I FULLY SUPPORT HIM
Much has been made about my position on @atiku approaching the court to challenge the result of the February 23, Presidential Election. I have been misquoted to that he will lose at the Election Tribunal.

That is far from the truth. I meant he will face an uphill task, given the circumstances of challenging the Election results. My initial decision to charge @atiku not to go to court is based on the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari has subverted the Supreme Court...

By the removal of CJ #onnoghen and the appointment of the Acting CJN. My perception is that we need to resolve the status of the Supreme Court. I wonder what is taking the NJC so long. I am also worried about the historical precedent, as no petition on Presidential Election.....

As one of Nigeria’s experienced Election Petition lawyers, I know that the burden of proof to succeed in an Election Petition is unfairly huge. We first have to prove that there are electoral irregularities. Also, Remember that the gap between @atiku and @MBuhari is about 4m....

It is clear to me that the Presidential Election results were manifestly riddled with electoral irregularities. Now that @atiku has approached the Court, it is important to emphasize that he is constitutionally entitled to do so...

My personal advice has become irrelevant. I fully support and wish Former Vice President, @atiku Abubakar every success.
