"As @atiku @OfficialPDPNig @PeterObi @NgLabour closed at Election Tribunal, it is fair to say that they have added new points to our jurisprudence but nothing to the course of justice: (a) non-issues (b)no evidence and (c)sure to lose even with a weak or no defence by @inecnigeria."

"Does the inevitable dismissal of these petitions mean the end of the duty incumbent on the Nigerian political class to reach a solid consensus that the electorate of Nigeria deserves a clean, clear, and credible election devoid of trauma and angst? I don't think so. We must meet."
