INEC asks court to dismiss Atiku’s suit over Tinubu certificates

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss the suit accusing President Bola Tinubu of submitting forged certificates in aid of his qualification to contest for presidency.

The electoral body, in a counter-affidavit it filed through its team of lawyers led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Dr. Alex Izinyon, maintained that the legal action which was instituted against Tinubu by a former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, constituted a gross abuse of the judicial process.

It argued that the suit failed to disclose any reasonable cause and therefore ought to be dismissed in its entirety.

According to INEC, Atiku was bereft of the locus standi (legal right) to institute the action, insisting issues raised in the suit were hypothetical and academic.

The counter-affidavit was supported with an affidavit that was deposed to by an Administrative Officer in the Litigation and Prosecution Department of INEC, Ayuba Mohammed.

Although INEC did not speak to the authenticity or otherwise of President Tinubu’s educational credentials, it told the court that that as the electoral umpire, it does not nominate candidates for political parties nor originate, manufacture, or procure personal certificates or credentials submitted by candidates or political parties sponsoring them.

It told the court that in the discharge of its Constitutional and statutory responsibilities, it receives documents submitted by candidates and deal with them in accordance with provisions of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, the Electoral Act 2026, and applicable Regulations and Guidelines.

INEC told the court that contrary to the impression conveyed in paragraphs 9-12 of Atiku’s supporting Affidavit, the mere receipt of a document submitted by or in respect of a candidate does not constitute a judicial or administrative determination by the Commission as to the authenticity of every statement or credential contained therein.

It added that Constitution already prescribed qualifications and disqualifications applicable to candidates for elective offices.

Bishops endorsing Tinubu are hungry, not acting on divine orders – Primate Ayodele

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Friday said Nigerian bishops who recently endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term were doing so because they were hungry.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said the bishops made the endorsement out of selfish interests and not based on a divine order.

The man of God criticised the bishops while cautioning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to be overjoyed by the endorsement, describing it as fake.

“Bishops endorsing President Tinubu are hungry and looking for what to eat. They didn’t do that endorsement because they love Tinubu but because they need some things from him. They just want to secure their next meal, and that is why they are singing the praises of the president. The president must exercise caution before expressing joy over the endorsement because it is totally fåk.e.”

“They are not doing it based on divine orders or God’s direction; there is no way God would give such direction. They are only lying on God’s name because of food; it’s such a bad thing that these bishops reduced the name of God to this level.”

The man of God also spoke on certain politicians endorsing the president for a second term, noting that they were not different from the bishops because they were also looking for food and, if they did not get it, would be the ones to turn against the president.

“Even politicians who are singing the praises of President Tinubu and endorsing him for a second term are not doing it for the love of the president; they are all doing it for selfish interests. They are not different from these bishops.

“If President Tinubu doesn’t give them what they want, they will be the first people to turn against him and endorse another person.”

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele urged President Tinubu not to believe in the endorsements, saying they would not be enough to secure him a second term in office. He said the president’s activities in office would be used to judge whether he would get a second term or not.

“President Tinubu must know that endorsements cannot get him anywhere near a second term if he doesn’t perform well for the people. Endorsements mean nothing; it is only his activities that can either secure or make him lose a second term in office. It would be better if he buckled up and put his house in order instead of allowing these endorsements to get into his head.”
