A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Robert Clarke has submitted that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi will likely come back empty-handed from the Supreme Court in their attempt to upturn the tribunal’s ruling on the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking on Sunday, the senior lawyer observed that the unanimous tribunal judgment which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu is as fixed as anything.
According to him, the tribunal’s judgment was detailed and thorough and the Supreme Court had already ruled on almost all the issues raised by the petitioners.
Clarke during his appearance on Channels TV was of the opinion that the matter does not need to go to the apex court.
He said: “From my experience from the bar, I believe that the unanimous judgment of the tribunal is unassailable. It is as fixed as you can fix anything.”
“I assure you if there’s an appeal, I doubt whether anything can come out of the appeal.
“I doubt if the Supreme Court can upturn the judgment of the tribunal.
