Atiku, Obi's Legal Lawyer Didn't Show Impressive skill, Says Clarke
The senior legal Lawyer said he wouldn't allow a lesser individual from his chamber to bring such a short under the watchful eye of the High Court.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Robert Clarke, says the lawyers of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi did not demonstrate professionalism in challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 election.
"I'm not saying they (Atiku, Obi's attorneys) mishandled the situation; what I'm talking about is that they have not shown a fair of legitimate practice," the lawful light said on Thursday's release of Stations TV's Legislative issues Today.
The senior legal Lawyers remark comes hours after the High Court maintained the triumph of Tinubu in the February 25 official political race.
The zenith court, in its decision, excused the requests by Atiku, the official applicant of the People Democratic party (PDP); and Labour Party (LP) partner, Obi.
A seven-judge board excused the resistance's requests over cases of extortion, constituent regulation infringement, and Tinubu's ineligibility to run for president.
The summit court whipped every one of the grounds of allure of Atiku and the PDP on capability, resistance with the Electing Act, the 25% votes in FCT, and constituent misbehaviors.
Remarking on the decision of the zenith court, Clarke said there was an absence of a reasonable level of effort in the requests, bringing up that the legitimate portrayal of Atiku and Obi might have been something more.
The senior legal Lawyer said he wouldn't allow a lesser individual from his chamber to bring such a concise under the watchful eye of the High Court.
"Where the law isn't permitted to set its heads up in a procedure, it intends that there is one more regulation which denies their legal Lawyers to have brought such. They know it, they actually chose — either to satisfy their allies and permit such a make a difference to precede the High Court," he said.
"I won't permit any lesser in my chambers, even a couple of years old to convey such a brief to proceed to contend in court when I have investigated the real factors and the realities are exceptionally clear. There is a restriction of time in political race matters. You can't do specific things."
Clarke said Obi and Atiku's legal counselors got the opportunity to introduce their proof at a lower court however they didn't.
"They had the open door as a pre-political race matter yet they never brought it out. They had the open door as an issue inside a court's case yet they never brought it. They are currently coming and bringing matters that ought to have been contended in the lower council and the High Court will presently be checking on such proof as a re-appraising matter and not as a unique jurisdictional matter."
"I'm not accusing the legal Lawyers; that is the last thing I would do, however I'm sad to say that the legal counselors, with due regard to them, ought to have improved in such manner.
"As the High Court said, on the off chance that you have realities that were accessible before the preliminary begun and you didn't carry them into the preliminary court… Subsequently, assuming you expect to involve any proof in the High Court, you probably guaranteed that such proof priority went through the first purview of the lower court," he said.
