How The Independence Of The American Judiciary Led To Tinubu’s Defeat In US Court -- Phrank Shaibu

 The Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, has posited that the independence of the US judiciary led to the ultimate defeat of President Bola Tinubu at the Northern District of Illinois court.

Shaibu while reacting to the order by Justice Nancy Maldonado for the Chicago State University to release all of Tinubu’s academic records to Atiku, said Tinubu had continued to evade justice since 1999 when late human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), first blew the lid on his certificates scam.

According to Shaibu, the judges rather than deliver justice on the merits of the case, had continued to give Tinubu victory based on technicalities.

He said the development led to over 20 dubious victories by Tinubu.

The aide of the former Vice President said it was unfortunate that the Nigerian judiciary had failed to live up to expectations as the last hope of the common man.

“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", he said.

“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.”

Shaibu also lambasted a former National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Babatunde Ogala, who had described the US court victory as insignificant.
