Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public
Communications to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has said the independence of the
United States of America judiciary led to President Bola Tinubu’s ultimate
defeat at the Northern District of Illinois court.
He said this while reacting to the order by Justice Nancy
Maldonado for the Chicago State University to release all of Tinubu’s academic
records to Atiku.
He said Tinubu had continued to evade justice since 1999
when the legendary human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), first blew the
lid on his certificates scam.
Atiku’s aide said rather than deliver justice on the merits
of the case, judges had continued to give Tinubu victory based on
technicalities, claiming the development had led to over 20 dubious victories.
Shaibu said it was unfortunate that the Nigerian judiciary
had failed to live up to expectations as the last hope of the common man.
He said, “Justice Maldonado, who has spent less than one
year on the bench and who sat on this case for barely a month, has been able to
do what the Nigerian judiciary could not do for 23 years.
“This explains why the Nigerian society is on the brink of
slipping into the state of nature, which Thomas Hobbes described as short,
brutish, and nasty.”
He lambasted Tinubu’s lawyer and former National Legal
Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Babatunde Ogala, who had described
the US court victory as insignificant.
