A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Robert Clark, says nothing may come out of the appeal of Wednesday’s judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Court by Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP) his counterpart ,Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that in a judgement delivered on Wednesday by the five-man panel of the PEPT led by Haruna Tsammani, held that the case brought before it by Obi and Atiku lacks merit, thereby upholding the victory of President Tinubu in the Feb 25 Presidential election.
But the petitioners have vowed to approach the Supreme Court.
Clark while Skspeaking on the development, during an interview with Channels Television’s Sunday Politics said, “My personal view has been enriched by past experience in the dispensation of justice at the bar.”
The 85-year-old legal luminary noted that “I have every belief, and I seriously believe that the unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal is unassailable, it is as fixed as you can fix anything and I can assure you that if there is an appeal, I doubt whether anything can come out of the appeal.”
According to the legal veteran, all the matters, based on law, that were brought before the Tribunal by the petitioners had already been adjudged by the apex court in the country.
Clark aligned with the Tribunal that the petitioners failed to prove their petitions beyond reasonable doubt.
