Buhari To Be The Next President Of Nigeria Isn't Certain




How Alleged Secret Plot Against Atiku And PDP In Court Was
Exposed And Names Mentioned
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has made
another strong allegation as some aggrieved candidates in the
elections and their political parties prepare for legal battles to
protest the outcome of the polls.
According to TheCable, CUPP alleged that some of the judges
on the panel to hear the petition of Atiku Abubakar,
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
are working for President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement by Ikenga Ugochinyere, its spokesman, the
coalition said it had seen the names of those on the five-man
panel. Ugochinyere listed them as Zainab Adamu-Bulkachuwa,
president of the court of appeal; Abdul Aboki; Peter Ige; J. S.
Ikyegh and S. C. Oseji.
He said authorities at Aso Rock endorsed the list which will
soon be made public. “The approved list which was
intercepted by our credible insider informant during
conveyance from the Villa back to the Court of Appeal was
drawn from a list of eight justices submitted to the Villa for
approval,” he said.
“Nigerians will recall that we had earlier raised alarm over the
donation of a Senatorial ticket to the husband of the President
of the Court of Appeal by the APC. We had questioned the
rationale behind such donation when he did not participate in
the Primaries if not to secure the assurance of his wife, the
President of the Court, to constitute with the approval of the
Presidency the Panel that will hear any petition challenging the
outcome of the elections.
“It was also a failure to secure similar assurances from the
Chief Justice of the Federation that led to the onslaught on
him by the Federal Government as the Honourable Chief
Justice had insisted on doing only justice and nothing else.
“The list is drafted in such a way that without any matter
properly being before the Justices, the Panel has been rigged
and skewed with three of the Justices on the list having been
approached and commitments secured from them that no
matter the evidence put before them, they were going to rule
in favour of the President.
“They are now agents and officers of the President and not
officers in the temple of justice. Ugochinyere asked
Bulkachuwa, Aboki and Ige to recuse themselves from the
panel. It is based on the foregoing and the evidence in the
custody of the CUPP that we immediately, categorically and
unambiguously demand that Justices Zaibab Bulkachuwa,
Justice Aboki and Justice Peter Ige recuse themselves from
the Panel,” he said.
“The intelligence at our disposal which formed basis for all the
views canvassed in this statement is that these three Justices
have already given their commitment to the Presidency that
they will rule in favour of the President at the Tribunal hence
they cannot dispense justice. The President has annexed the
judiciary and the hope of the common man is blighted.
Nigerians must rise in defence of the judiciary and insist that
justice must be done in this circumstance.”
Meanwhile, those mentioned in this accusation have not
responded to these weighty accusations against them.
