Atiku’s Lawyers Refuse To Show Up At Supreme Court For Reason Of Dismissed Suit Proceedings

The legal representatives of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Presidential Candidate in the last election, Atiku Abubakar have shun the Supreme Court’s proceedings for reason of dismissing Atiku’s appeal.

The over 20 senior and junior lawyers shun the apex court proceedings on Friday.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, many of the SANs who led the legal teams of President Muhammadu Buhari, the winner of the poll, the All Progressives Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission were already seated ahead of the proceedings that began at about 9.05am on Friday.

The three parties are the respondents to the appeal in favour of whom the apex court had ruled in the summary judgment delivered on October 30, 2019.

It could be recalled that the apex court had in a summary judgment delivered on October 30, 2019, dismissed the appeal and announced that it would give the reasons for its decision on a date to be later announced.
