APC argues in their reply that the wordings 'ANY Court or Tribunal or Competent Authority' used in Section 137(1)(d) can only be courts or tribunals in Nigeria.

That the US District Court that ordered the $460k forfeiture is not among 'ANY Court or Tribunal'.

By the arguments of APC in their reply to the Petitioners Final Written Address, anyone who was sentenced abroad by a court or Tribunal not in Nigeria can be president.

We are watching the courts, because if they uphold this argument, it means, Hushpuppi, James Ibori and many others who were sentenced and served jail term abroad can be president of Nigeria without being barred by Section 137(1)(d) of the 1999 Constitution.

They have finally agreed that their client was actually sentenced for crime but not in Nigeria. They have started accepting the truth. Obi lawyers really did a good job in their addresses.

I'm surprised that learned silks like Woke, Fagbemi are the ones saying this.

Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb if the judges fail to uphold the law.

Fingers crossed

This is wrong! A bad precedence is the worst that can happen to this country.

Rule of law is there for a reason. Judges must uphold the law at a cost.

The precedent these issues BAT is roped in will set, will determine the fate of constitutional order in this country. Many won't realize it yet until the resulting shege unfolds.

Agbado master is like a virus you either completely rout out or watch it infect and destroy everything, even his supporters wouldn't be so excited by all what this leads to, we need to maintain the rule of law and save our country above just one person

The whole thing isn't funny.

I just pity those cheering the whole madness.

Nigeria is the true land of opportunities and opportunists.

Even a convicted felon can become president.

By APC argument, a person convicted of a crime in a foreign country and deported to Nigeria will be Scott free to go home.

Tinubu matter is so bad that even the CJN and some of judges in the supreme court will have to confuse nd destroy themselves to please tinubu.

A good number of them have ruled against cases same as unconstitutional illegitimate tinubu matters.

They will have to destroy themselves and their consciences to please the illegitimate man.

Tinubu is an illegitimate president .Ironically it appears the major qualifications to occupy a top position in Nigeria is criminality and corruption record so if you are neither a criminal nor a highly Corrupt person, you won't go far in Nigerias political circle. Imagine Dangote of all people commissioning an incompleted refinery just to please his paymasters who have given him economic monopoly in production thereby forcing others to pack up.
