In a series of tweets on X, a former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, has added a touch of humour and anticipation to the upcoming Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) judgement scheduled for Wednesday, September 6.
His tweets, while lighthearted in nature, revealed the widespread curiosity and eagerness surrounding the crucial legal decision.
In his first tweet as gathered by News About Nigeria, Senator Sani hinted at the anticipation surrounding the judgement, alluding to the fact that some people are closely monitoring the proceedings and are ready to interpret every word their own way.
He advises such people that if a judgement starts by praising someone named “Mathew, na Martins go win the case,” suggesting that the court rule might not go in line with the current thoughts held by many Nigerians who had put some hope in the judiciary.
Meanwhile, in his second tweet, Senator Sani continued with the theme of people eagerly waiting for the judgement.
He humorously described an image of individuals standing with their hands behind their backs, one hand holding a flower, and the other hand holding a stick. This imaginative portrayal is said to capture the sense of hope and anxiety that could accompany such legal proceedings.
“Some people are waiting for Judgement with their two hands behind their back; one hand holding a flower and the other hand holding a stick.”
Lastly, Senator Sani touched on the concept that both love and justice are said to be blind. While acknowledging this notion, he went on to add a touch of scepticism by stating, “Love is blind, you agree. Justice is blind, una de doubt.”
This has been read by many to mean that there are doubts about the impartiality of justice in the upcoming Presidential election tribunal verdict.
Recall that the judgement has been announced to be broadcast live by Nigeria’s mainstream media, and parties involved could come into the courtroom with their phones as well, a rule that was not granted in the early days of the proceeding.
