Legal luminary, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa SAN, says the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s dismissal of cases against Bola Tinubu’s victory should spur sober reflection, not tension.

He believes the verdict was unsurprising given the law’s presumption of election regularity.

In a statement following the Abuja ruling, Adegboruwa noted the heavy burden placed on petitioners to upturn results. He argued INEC practically fought the petitioners, behaving like an interested party rather than unbiased umpire.

According to the Senior Advocate, many expected this outcome based on settled legal principles. He insists the focus should be reforming INEC’s glaring partisanship, without which court victories mean little.

Adegboruwa stressed the petitions could have been swiftly resolved on legal points if democracy’s fabric hadn’t been hijacked. He says the flawed electoral process and litigation reveal Nigeria’s democratic malaise.

The SAN advised parties to pursue legal options but pressed for urgent INEC dismantling. He believes excessive expectations that the tribunal would upend Tinubu’s victory were unrealistic given many settled points of law.

Adegboruwa contends reflective stock-taking, not tension, is required after the significant tribunal verdict. He insists only INEC reforms can birth credible polls whose results withstand scrutiny, lamenting the agency’s current incapacity.
