Bulama Bukarti, a senior analyst at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, said Wednesday’s presidential petitions court may not deliver the long-awaited verdict.

The appeals court said in a statement on Monday that it would rule Wednesday on a petition challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.

Bukarti, in his post titled; ‘PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION JUDGEMENT MAY NOT BE DELIVERED TOMORROW,’ stated that the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) could order all members to close all courts in the country during a two-day warning strike by the National Labour Congress, NLC.

He said:

Is it possible for the NLC’s strike tomorrow to prevent the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal from delivering its judgment? I believe it’s a possibility.

“While the judges themselves may not participate in the strike, the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), which is affiliated with the NLC, has issued orders to close all courts in the country today and tomorrow.

“If this occurs, it would result in the closure of the tribunal premises and judges’ offices, making it impossible to deliver the judgment. If such a scenario unfolds, it could have a significant impact, garnering headlines.

“However, the Tribunal could delay judgment until after the strike, potentially towards the late evening or the early night hours.

“But this may not work, as JUSUN may refuse to open the court after working hours or NLC officials may put it under lock and key until Thursday morning. I am keen to see what will happen tomorrow.”
