TINUBU UNDER FIR£ OVER ANARCHY COMMENT AT TRIBUNAL

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has received intense criticism for warning members of the presidential elections tribunal that removing him as president could lead to a breakdown of law and order in Nigeria. Tinubu who admitted his failure to score 25 per cent of votes cast in Nigeria’s capital Abuja said it was insufficient to overturn his victory as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. In their final defence statement to the court, Mr Tinubu’s legal team, led by Wole Olanipekun, said, “Any other interpretation different from this will lead to absurdity, chaos, anarchy and alteration of the very intention of the legislature.” With ‘Anarchy’ trending on Twitter, Nigerians berated Tinubu’s lawyer’s submission. Tinubu, who contested the February 28 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner of the poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Tinubu secured a total of over 8 million votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who had the second-highest figure of over 6 million votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) came third with over 6 million votes which was lesser than Atiku’s. However, Atiku and Obi approached the tribunal seeking to upturn Tinubu’s victory Adamu had also claimed ignorance of the emergence of the principal officers, saying he was not carried along in the process by the lawmakers.
