It would be recalled that the tribunal had, on April 18, issued a subpoena to compel the CBN governor or any of its officers to attend the proceedings to give evidence about the allegation levelled by Governor Ododo that the petitioners filed the petition against him outside the 21 days allowed by law.

The senior lawyer told the panel that he was aware that the CBN management, in a letter to the tribunal, said they would not be available until Friday, 26 April pursuant to their application for subpoena. Aliyu Saiki, lawyer to the Independent National Electoral Commission , the 1st respondent; D.C. Demingwe, who appeared for All Progressives Congress , the 3rd respondent, and Pius Akubo, who represented the petitioners, aligned with Mr Izinyon’s application.

The judge held that the act of writing to the tribunal by the central bank that its officers “will be available on April 26 is contemptuous and condemnable.”
