I immediately changed course as I felt I should deal with a problem at home first before looking across the border to South Africa. The xenophobia article will feature next week. My people say you start from home to be good before going outside.

Both the APC and the PDP, in the last couple of months have through their formidable legal teams, given a good account of themselves at the tribunal to the satisfaction of Nigerians I would say. Nigerians are interested in this case and have followed the proceedings religiously over the period of the trial. Everything is in the public domain.

Two, that Buhari lied on oath when he claimed that he had three certificates but could not produce even a photocopy to support his Form CF 001, which he submitted to INEC during clearance. With the conclusion of their final submissions, the ball is now in the court of the judiciary to give an unbiased verdict. A lot has been said and written about the judiciary and its failings to which Nigerians are not happy. There have been several presidential election tribunals in the past that were won and lost on technicalities rather than law and its merit, which have portrayed the judiciary in bad light.

As people who are experienced in the bar and bench, Nigerians expect the justices to abide by the age-old tenets of the law. Legal minds have told us that the law is an ass. It is no respecter of persons. What made certain authorities great and respected in the legal profession is their adherence to both the letters and sprit of law. The pursuit of law demands that justice should be done and seen to be done in every matter. Anything that falls short of this is anything but justice.
