President–elect, Bola Tinubu, has said the live broadcast of the Presidential Election Tribunal is an abuse of the court process.

Reacting to an application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Tinubu urged the tribunal to discountenance such a move.

He prayed the court to refuse the application on the grounds that “the court is not a rostrum or a soapbox and not also a stadium or theatre. It is not an arena for ‘public’ entertainment.”

In a counter-affidavit filed by his counsel, Wole Olanipekun, the President-elect argued that the application was not within the tribunal’s jurisdiction.

He stressed that the issue Atiku raised touched on policy formulation.

“The application also touches on the powers and jurisdiction invested in the President of the Court of Appeal by the Constitution, over which this honourable court as presently constituted cannot entertain.

“The application touches on the istrative functions, which are exclusively reserved for the President of the Court of Appeal.

The application is aimed at dissipating the precious judicial time of this honourable court.

“The said application does not have any bearing with the petition filed by the petitioners before this honourable court.

It is in the interest of justice for this honourable court to dismiss the said application filed by the petitioners,” he said.

You are writing trash.

Anyone can google the names of the judges and know their identities.

You cannot be smart and that druglord.

Thought they won....

They clearly do not want the world to see how dubious, fraudulent, flawed and shambolic of the electoral process and the glaring connivance between aapc and eyeneck that brought about the selected president-elect.

Why is Tinubu afraid of transparent judgement?

Me no just understand

This is actually sensible.

What are you hiding... main while, yesterday in court INEC could not provide evidence of what led them to declare you winner...

This is the man you said is a Democrat and will transform your country?

The court should not allow live broadcast for security purpose, we know how Obi ers are behaving and we saw what they did to LP chairman yesterday and the judges need to be protected.

Instead of you to be happy your mandate will speak for you in court, you're afraid of televised trial.

Theif if you really won y u come dey fear

Hmmm

I don't understand why Tinubu's team is so apprehensive about the trial going live...

Did Nigerians tell them that we don't want to be entertained

some people will claim it's obi not attiku.
tinubu for jejely step down now make atiku become presido before we go see him yansh

Is this the first time presidential election petition tribunals will be held in the country?
How many has been given live coverage in the past?

IPOB rats no go gree o o

If truly you won the election as you claim, you shouldn't be scared to show the world, moreover why is APC against doing anything right.

I live coverage.
What is INEC trying to hide?
What is APC trying to hide?
What is Tinubu trying to hide ?
Only the guilty ones are afraid of live coverage
If you live coverage click like and share if you disagree

If it's possible for Tinubu, the courts should be sitting in a dark room where no one can see anyone.

The drug lord and his terrorists vice president and their demonic party and evil INEC have so many things to hide

Atiku's application
