It did<br \/>\nso in such anti-climactic manner. It grossly deflated Atiku and his<br \/>\nsupporters\u2019 high hopes and bonhomie feeling they built into the case<br \/>\nat the Supreme Court. Effectively, it was a sealing to Atiku\u2019s lurid<br \/>\nclaim to a mandate after he was trashed so badly in the February<br \/>\nelection, starting from his polling unit. It was the end of the queer<br \/>\nserver story. It is the end of the grand baloney Atiku and PDP said was<br \/>\ntheir challenge of an election they were visibly trashed. Some have said<br \/>\nthat it was also the end of Atiku\u2019s own chequered political history<br \/>\npockmarked by stories of elephantine graft and gargantuan perfidy but<br \/>\nsome still say Atiku\u2019s own parody at the tribunal is a way of ensuring<br \/>\nhe keeps his stranglehold on the PDP presidential ticket, at least for<br \/>\nthe 2023 contest where he will be swimming against the tide of the<br \/>\npresidency going south. Crest-fallen, Atiku has said he fought a good<br \/>\nfight but tht the judiciary was sabotaged. PDP has said it is still in<br \/>\nshock but the nation has moved on.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court decision to trash Atiku and PDP\u2019s petition was, to<br \/>\nmost Nigerians, sudden. It came like a sudden bolt; out of the blues<br \/>\nsort of. It came like a thief in the night. I am sure that neither<br \/>\nAtiku, his PDP confederates nor the APC and least of all, President<br \/>\nBuhari who is away on official duties in Saudi Arabia expected the<br \/>\nverdict to come when it did. Mid last week, information went out that<br \/>\nthe Supreme Court was to start hearing Atiku\u2019s petition on the 30th<br \/>\nOctober. To most Nigerians, that was the start of the case many<br \/>\nNigerians see as a non-issue but which Atiku and his cohorts had hyped<br \/>\nfar beyond its very sparse value. Many Nigerians expected a replay of<br \/>\nthe sordid drama and hyperbole that happened at the Court of Appeal<br \/>\ntribunal. Many expected the kind of interplay that earlier happened at<br \/>\nthe tribunal and most importantly expected the kind of detailed,<br \/>\nlong-drawn and entwining judgment that happened at the Appeal tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>But some Nigerians that know felt the Supreme Court merely reviews the<br \/>\njudgment of the Appeal tribunal and has no room for the twists and turns<br \/>\nthat took place at the tribunal. Many said the Supreme Court is not cut<br \/>\nout for elaborate time-wasting but rather would study the judgment of<br \/>\nthe Appeal tribunal; looking out for possible fault-lines to invalidate<br \/>\nit or approve the judgment if nothing impinges it. So to these Nigerians<br \/>\nthat were in the know about the workings of the Supreme Court, there<br \/>\nwould be no time for the extensive and long-drawn display that attended<br \/>\nAtiku\u2019s case at the tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>Many however, did not nurse the belief that it will take just one<br \/>\nsitting and under three hours for the Supreme Court to trash what has<br \/>\nbeen seen as cooked-up hogwash by Atiku and PDP after suffering a defeat<br \/>\nat the presidential election. But that was actually what happened. The<br \/>\nseven-man panel of Supreme Court justices led by the Chief Justice of<br \/>\nNigeria threw away the Atiku and PDP appeal against what was seen as the<br \/>\nmost detailed and grounded election petition ruling by the Presidential<br \/>\nAppeal Court Tribunal. The Supreme court was unanimous in the decision<br \/>\nthat the appeal lacked merit, which re-echoed the well-held opinion that<br \/>\nAtiku and PDP indulged in a deliberate waste of the time of the tribunal<br \/>\nand the Supreme Court without advancing credible evidences to back their<br \/>\nwild claims. The Supreme Court has said it will communicate the reasons<br \/>\nbehind its judgment later to the parties in the case. That it took the<br \/>\nSupreme Court just one sitting of under three hours to unanimously throw<br \/>\naway Atiku and PDP\u2019s case shows that the case was built nothing,<br \/>\nsustained by nothing and was about nothing but a deft effort to snatch<br \/>\nvictory from the jaws of crushing defeat. It was so bad that after the<br \/>\nextensive Presidential Tribunal verdict, one of the strongest PDP<br \/>\nbackbones, Governor Nyesom Wike quickly congratulated Buhari and pulled<br \/>\noff the dubious omnibus but not so for the rest of PDP and Atiku that<br \/>\nhoped that somehow they can con victory from the scam they cooked up as<br \/>\nelection petition.<\/p>\n<p>Much had been said of the hollowness of Atiku and PDP\u2019s case to bear<br \/>\nanother repetition here but the Supreme Court verdict put paid to a<br \/>\nsomewhat awkward effort by some cohorts of PDP to impugn the integrity<br \/>\nof the Presidential Election Tribunal for delivering justice in such<br \/>\ncadent manner it did. After the tribunal meticulously pried open the<br \/>\nemptiness of Atiku and PDP\u2019s petition and dismissed it from all fronts<br \/>\nas lacking merit, bereft of proof, lacking in evidence and credibility,<br \/>\nthe PDP and its allies had indulged in an extensive project to defame<br \/>\nand smear the tribunal while doing everything to blackmail and twist the<br \/>\nSupreme Court to decide its ensuing appeal in its favour. Typical of<br \/>\nPDP, it advanced no tangible ground to protest the well-researched and<br \/>\nwell-received verdict of the presidential appeal tribunal but raked so<br \/>\nmuch tar to haul at the verdict and the panel that gave it. It waved so<br \/>\nlyrical of how the Supreme Court will grant its Presidential Election<br \/>\nTribunal though it showed no further evidence than the shamefully<br \/>\nscrambled outing it did at the tribunal for such high hope. In the<br \/>\nheight of PDP\u2019s blackmail of the judiciary, it deigned no scruples<br \/>\ngoing public with names of judges it wants to hear Atiku\u2019s appeal at<br \/>\nthe Supreme Court and the Supreme Court had to come out officially to<br \/>\nlampoon a known ageless PDP errand boy and self-styled spokesman of the<br \/>\nambiguous CUPP for his puerile attempts to smear and blackmail the<br \/>\nSupreme Court for the benefit of Atiku and PDP.<\/p>\n<p>Practically, the Supreme Court unanimous decision on the Atiku and PDP<br \/>\npetition solidifies the decision of the Presidential Election Petition<br \/>\nTribunal and rubbishes the grand efforts of Atiku and PDP to scoop power<br \/>\nthrough dubious means. It seals Atiku\u2019s wild hallucination of winning<br \/>\nan election where he and most of his henchmen were defeated right at the<br \/>\npolling units. It put paid the weird and curious story of a back end<br \/>\nserver known exclusively to Atiku and his hirelings which proclaimed him<br \/>\nvictor in an election he was defeated roundly on the field. The Supreme<br \/>\nCourt decision capped the many strange, ludicrous and queer claims Atiku<br \/>\nand PDP cobbled up and dumped at the presidential tribunal for which<br \/>\nthey and their witnesses engaged in a chaotic and more queer melodrama<br \/>\nat the tribunal to disprove right at the tribunal by their hugely<br \/>\ncontradictory evidences riddled by unprovable moonlight tales and<br \/>\ndubious claims.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the Supreme Court decision, the way and manner it<br \/>\ncame proved poignantly the apt statement of cerebral Senior Advocate,<br \/>\nHuman Rights Activist and Spokesman for President Buhari Campaign,<br \/>\nFestus Keyamo who leafed through Atiku and PDP petition and dismissed it<br \/>\nas the most useless election petition in Nigeria\u2019s history. That both<br \/>\nthe Appeal Tribunal unanimously dismissed all grounds of this bogus<br \/>\npetition and that the Supreme Court unanimously agreed with the ruling<br \/>\nshows indeed that what looks like Atiku\u2019s valedictory showing in the<br \/>\nnation\u2019s political space was a huge fraud that cannot survive<br \/>\nelementary scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Claver Oparah.<\/p>\n<p>Ikeja, Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>E-mail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:peterclaver2000@yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peterclaver2000@yahoo.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And so Atiku Abubakar\u2019s political fortune came crashing down.
