I recently wrote an article about the potential complications surrounding the call for an interim government due to the uncertainty of the conclusion of the presidential election petition before the inauguration of a new president on May 29, 2023. But it’s very possible to conclude these petitions, provided that the court systems are very proactive. Under Arbitration matters, procedural orders and or directions issue peremptorily to resolve sometimes very complex jurisdictional and procedural issues.

On Nigeria's Trade Policy
A Thread>>>>

My admiration for Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is huge but to advice us to continue to be import dependent is not correct policy advise at this time. Nigeria has no current Trade policy and Dr Okonjo Iweala seems to promote liberal and open borders. The problem is that we will remain consumers of imported products and cannot develop our economy to boost production and give jobs to the over 25 million unemployed.

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.
Thread... 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...

The Presidential elections are upon us, February 16, 2019, is only a few days away. The mood of the country is bad. Personally, I feel things have not gone in the right direction. The Economic situation is terrible to say the least. Has President @MBuhari done his job enough to deserve re-election? The big issues are unemployment, poverty, corruption, insecurity, poor quality health, and education etc.

On 25th of January 2019, @MBuhari pursuant to an exparte order of the Code of the Conduct Tribunal purportedly suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu #Onnoghnen and purportedly swore in Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed as the Acting CJN The Constitution is clear about the procedure for suspending or removing the CJN. The CJN can only be removed on the recommendation of the NJC. See Section 153 (1), Paragraph 21 (a) of the 3rd Schedule and Section 292 (1) (a) (i) of the Constitution of the Fed Rep of Nigeria 1999

President Muhammadu Buhari`s suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is the most brazen assault on Nigeria`s constitutional history.

Thread The President has obviously not listened to the advice of the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation or the Attorney General of the Federation has misadvised him or both.

The decision of the @NGRPresident to withhold Assent in respect of a Bill to enact a Law to amend the Electoral Act makes no sense. The Final draft Bill considered by @nassnigeria , was agreed with the President, precisely to avoid challenges, such as now occurred.

Thread The President states that part of the reason he has withheld Assent is to avoid confusion as to the applicable legal framework for 2019 Elections and the administrative capacity of INEC to cope with the new Electoral Act, as it is all too close to 2019 elections.
