Dissatisfied with the judgment, Yusuf appealed against the tribunal verdicts and urged the court to set aside the judgment. Olanipekun argued that the tribunal has created a new jurisprudence that departs from the precedent set by the appeal court and the apex court with its judgment. Counsel for INEC, A.B Mahmoud SAN asked the appeal court to dismiss APC’s cross-appeal, adding that it was lacking in merit. I urge the court to allow this appeal as it is preeminently meritorious and set aside the judgment of the lower court,” he added.

Full speech: Peter Obi’s reaction after Supreme Court judgment
Setting legal issues aside, the Supreme Court exhibited a disturbing aversion to public opinion just as it abandoned its responsibility as a court of law and policy. More appalling, the Supreme Court judgment willfully condoned breaches of the Constitution relative to established qualifications and parameters for candidates in presidential elections. With this counter-intuitive judgment, the Supreme Court has transferred a heavy moral burden from the courtrooms to our national conscience. Indeed, the rationale and premise of the Supreme Court judgment, have become clearer in the light of the deep revealing and troubling valedictory remarks by Hon. Both INEC and the Supreme Court as the referees, respectively shifted the goalposts in the middle of the game.

The blood of business (2)
When the recording of the proceedings went viral on social media, it sparked outrage within the company and in the online community. In another statement he issued a few days later, Vishal Garg wrote, “I want to apologize for the way I handled the layoffs last week. The Vishal Garg approach to employee disengagement is typical of leaders and companies that do not recognize that the first customers of any business are the people who work there. When people know that they matter and that they are vital stakeholders in the corporate outcomes, they will work like they own the business. The people that work with us are flesh and blood with feelings, desires, personal hang-ups and frustrations, just like us.
