Judiciary independence caused Tinubu’s defeat in US court – Atiku replies President’s lawyer, Ogala

The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has said the independence of the judiciary in the United States, US, led to President Bola Tinubu’s ultimate defeat at the Northern District of Illinois court.

Atiku was reacting to the order by Justice Nancy Maldonado to the Chicago State University to release all of Tinubu’s academic records to Atiku.

He lambasted Tinubu’s lawyer and former National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Babatunde Ogala, who had described the US court victory as of no consequence.

Ogala had also compared the victory to masturbation, insisting that the judgement would have no consequence on Atiku’s appeal against Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court.

However, Atiku said rather than deliver justice on the merits of the case, judges in Nigeria had continued to give Tinubu victory based on technicalities, a development which had led to over 20 dubious victories.

He said Tinubu had continued to evade justice since 1999 when the legendary human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), first blew the lid on his alleged certificates scam.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said it was unfortunate that the Nigerian judiciary had failed to live up to expectation as the last hope of the common man.

He said, “Justice Maldonado who has spent less than one year on the bench and who sat on this case for barely a month, has been able to do what the Nigerian judiciary could not do for 23 years. This explains why the Nigerian society is on the brink of slipping into the state of nature, which Thomas Hobbes described as short, brutish, and nasty.

“Ordinarily, we would not have responded to the words of a legal Lilliputian who has never won any landmark case in court and whose growth in the legal field is tied to the apron strings of a Chicago Bagman. However, the truth needs to be said for the sake of posterity.

“It is unfortunate that Ogala glorifies technicality instead of justice. Ogala claimed that the victory was meaningless. So, why did his principal try to block the release of his credentials if he had nothing to hide? Why did he also appeal the initial judgment? The Bible says only the wicked run when no one chases them. Why has Tinubu been blocking the release of his academic records for nearly 30 years?”

Atiku’s aide said Ogala’s outburst was based on his desperation to receive an appointment from Tinubu, having failed to make the cabinet.

He claimed that, “Ogala was lobbying to be the Attorney-General. He believed it was his birthright after defending Tinubu in court on several occasions.

“However, having only received the title of senior advocate two years ago without any remarkable or landmark cases under his belt, Tinubu opted for the more experienced Lateef Fagbemi.

“Since then, Ogala has been trying to ingratiate himself to Tinubu and is now standing logic on its head just to please his master. How pathetic!”

Wey the csu certificate na? Druggie make way.

However, Atiku said rather than deliver justice on the merits of the case, judges in Nigeria had continued to give Tinubu victory based on technicalities, a development which had led to over 20 dubious victories.

Nigeria judges are criminals. They are as corrupt as politicians.

Atiku is 4000000% better than a worthless kriminal that exploited foolish people.

Atiku has certified academic qualifications
Atiku is very Presidential and dignified
Atiku is not a worthless ethnic bigot
Atiku doesnt pay idiots to push propaganda for him

Those PEPT judges ought to be stoned to death and their houses reduced to ashes...
No long talk

There's nothing like justice in Nigeria courts. It is only for the highest bidder. Shame on them.

Exactly!

There was no Ariwoola or Tsammani for them to procure.

I’m itching already for the cankerworm that will ooze out from Tinubu’s rotten record.

If falsehood flees for twenty years, truth will overtake it in a day. Now Druggie's cup is full.

That thing you quoted stole someone's phone and is still using it till now. What a shame.

Independency? Tinubu is the president of United State of America, Vice president or Speaker House of representatives in the US ? what a rubbish.
Well no man born out of woman or even evil spirit like Peter girigory Obi can unseat Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu Jagaban the Eze-chukwu of Igbo land

Dubious people can spin anything. If they can spin the results of a presidential election how much more the results of a court case that is even yet to be concluded.

Ask someone to read and interpret the thread for you in a language you understand. But wait, What can make some people like you happy to have an internationally renowned hardened criminal as their president when it's not as if there's no alternative? My joy is Amoda's real identity will be revealed tomorrow latest.

This one don collect most foolish nairalander from helinus

The truth of the matter is, Mr Tinubu is a born criminal which he can never deny. Criminality is his nuture. His entire life is shrouded in crime.

Renowned criminal as president and you didn't organize your family to arrest him since you have all evidence against him. it is not you speaking, it is the height of grieves and anguish, your candidate lost woefully

Do you know the meaning of criminal state capture? That's what Tinubu has done to Nigeria. When the executive, legislature and judiciary are corruptd, what can the sane Nigerians do? Every aspect of Tinubu's life is totally and extremely shrouded in secrecy. There is no one in the entire world who is close to Tinubu when it comes to living a life of complete darkness. I wonder why the criminal is never ashamed of himself. Shior.

Please, Atiku must be protected!

Tell that to Donald Trump.

Igbos claimed Buhari was dead and the one that returned to Nigeria is double, this is not the first you people thrive on propaganda to smear candidate that doesn't suit you.

Ok

Absolutely right! The US is a sane country where the institutions are stronger than the individuals including the president. This is the iberiberism the PEPT and Supreme Court would have dismissed based on technicalities

Wait! If tinubu had plans all the while to contest for President of Nigeria and he knows the certificate he's been parading is fake. What will it cost him to get another original certificate here in Nigeria.

Weac, neck or GCE or even ond from any institution here in 9ja?

In Nigeria, the judiciary as an institution has been criminally captured

Mutiu, you don't have sense for being tribalistic. Who are the Igbos who claimed Buhari was dead? How did you know Buhari was not dead and the one that returned to Nigeria was not double?

Hehe ATIKU will soon ask for TINUBU videos in class as student

You can go and conclude the case for Tinubu na. Abi who is stopping you?

Atiku and his ipob minions should rest
The judgment doesn’t change anything
All his minions will be disgraced woefully,
imagine saying the Nigerian judiciary isn’t independent. Insinuating that our judiciary is collecting bribes to favour judgement. I hereby plead on the @DSSNG to question atiku and his spokesperson to reveal the names and identities of said judges as this statement is libelous against our esteemed judges
Failure to do so will result in us taking a civil actions suit against them

On a side note we are not scared about the judgement because our principal PBAT is not a man of mystery and is not shrouded in secret
And I’m sure the records are there to prove that
Thank you all
