In Nigeria, critical Issues await the learned jurists in today's judgement.

By Lanre Shodimu

Pertinent issues critical in today's verdict is the Issue of Obi crossing over from PDP and becoming a Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in less than 48hrs. The question is, is there no period of time required to completely validate an individual's membership before the person begin to contest election on the platform?

Second; is forfeiture tantamount to conviction in Nigeria's jurisprudence in the case of alleged drug forfeiture of Tinubu in the US?

Third; is it mandatory for a Presidential Candidate to get minimum of 25% in FCT before being declared as President?

Fourth; Whether Shettima duly resigned as a senatorial candidate for Borno North Senatorial district before agreeing to contest alongside Tinubu.

Five; Did INEC run foul of the law by not transmitting Presidential election results through IRev as promised, after all the party Agents were all available to sign the result sheet.
