Festus Keyamo, minister of state for labour, has lambasted Ben Nwabueze over his comment on the supreme court\u2019s dismissal of Atiku Abubakar\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

Atiku, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had his suit against the election of Muhammadu Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) thrown out after a long litigation at Tribunal, appeal court, and Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the apex court\u2019s judgement,\u00a0 Nwabueze, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), described the decision as predetermined that is, it was not taking at the Supreme Court sitting.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Wednesday, Keyamo said Nwabueze has allowed his sense of decorum and professional etiquette to be overridden by emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, in the said press statement last week, Prof. Nwabueze took his political conviction too far by seeking to destroy the reputation and integrity of the Supreme Court on the altar of politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe let his emotions override his sense of decorum and professional etiquette \u2013 something totally unexpected of such revered figure in the legal profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the said press statement, Prof. Nwabueze, delved into the practice and procedure of the apex court in hearing and determining time-bound appeals and the propriety or otherwise of same when viewed in the light of the provisions of Section 36(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cProf. Nwabueze\u2019s submissions contain deliberate misinformation (given his pedigree) which become magnified when viewed vis-\u00e0-vis the provisions of the law, the settled decisions of courts and the precedents already long-established by the Apex court.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProf. Nwabueze\u2019s assertion that the Supreme Court went on a recess on the 30th of October, 2019 during the hearing of the Presidential Election Petition appeal whereupon they reconstituted the panel is, simply put, not correct,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of that recess was, as widely reported, to enable the counsel to the Appellant decide on consolidating the seven interlocutory appeals with the main appeal pursuant to an application by the Appellants\u2019 lead counsel who asked the court to allow all counsel to adopt their briefs, both in the main appeal and in seven other interlocutory appeals.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, rather than crucifying my lords at the apex court for hearing the appeal on the 30th of October, 2019 and deciding same on the same date, my lords ought to be commended for coming to court prepared and hearing and dismissing the Appeal with dispatch.\u201d<\/p>\n
