The tribunal, however, resumed sitting yesterday following the appointment of the presiding Justice of the Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal, Justice Mohammed Garba as Justice Bulkachuwa’s replacement.
Justice Garba has also fixed today for hearing of all motions objecting to the petition of Atiku and the PDP.
Speaking to THISDAY on the replacement, in Abuja, the senior lawyer said: “There is no gainsaying the fact that we need accelerated hearing and that comes without saying so.
“We want accelerated hearing because so many days have gone by since she recused herself and the constitution of the new panel which started today.
He said the presidential election tribunal is time bound, with only 180 days to conclude the hearing and deliver judgment, adding that, “We have already done half of the time.”
The tribunal, earlier presided over by Justice Bulkachuwa, had adjourned on May 22, 2019, after Bulkachuwa recused herself from the panel, following Atiku’s petition alleging likelihood of bias against him and his party, PDP because her husband and son are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
