 We're just concerned what your take is on INEC saying that the electronic coalition of results was not a mandatory requirement. Very simple. I want to say that the body called INEC, Independent National Electoral Commission, was created by the Nigerian Constitution and given authority and powers to carry out electoral functions in Nigeria. And so it derives its authority from the constitution. Section 153, subsection 2 of the constitution created this body. Now section 160 of this same constitution gives INEC the power to make its own internal regulations to regulate its activities, the processes of election and every other thing. Now taking advantage of that section, INEC enacted its own regulation which is the regulation that was used for this election. And then the regulation in section 38 introduced electronic coalition or transmission of results into the system. And after that introduction because that is that is the discretion that section 160 gave to of the constitution gave to INEC to create its own regulation, that the discretion and to use that to create its own way of managing or carrying out electoral activities. That discretion was done by the enactment of this regulation and this regulation introduced electronic transmission. So there's no more discretion for INEC once it says in section 38 of the electoral regulation that election results will be transmitted from the pulling unit by the electoral officers. Then it means that there's no more, no longer discretion for INEC to say that they are going to use both manual transmission and electronic transmission of manual coalition and electronic transmission. That is, that would have been possible if that regulation was not enacted and then INEC went out of its way to inform Nigerians that it is going to transmit the result live real time from pulling unit. It gave Nigerians that confidence and that was why many Nigerians drove out to the street to carry out their civic responsibility. So I do not believe, I do not want to align with the position that INEC has a discretion to now decide on the day of the election to transmit some result and then collect some results manually. So my thinking is that this is and after thought this is wrong from inception. INEC has no discretion to transmit result electronically and it has no discretion to collect result outside the transmission by electronically means that it itself introduced into the regulation. Okay, what happens by law if a due process is jettisoned? In this case a due process will be the electronic transmission of results of this election. What happens by law if anybody, any party, any organization jettisons what is supposed to be done as provided for by law? It is very simple, it is a cancellation of that result. It is a cancellation of the result that was not transmitted, that was not done based on the laid down procedure and law of the state. So if that was not done by INEC, the result in fact is that that election will be cancelled. That is a position of the law and if somebody says that election was, I mean the electoral body did not comply with the electronic transmission of the result and by reason of that, that election was mad with irregularity. What that person is actually going to ask the tribunal to do is to cancel that election and the tribunal are not now since this election was not transmitted electronically as was supposed to be done and by reason of that irregularities were inferred and so the election was not won by this person that was won by this other person. No, it would be cancelled. That is the position of the law. So if it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that what was supposed to be done was not done, this election there's a possibility it could be cancelled. That is the position of the law. It must be cancelled. Okay, just a little digression before we let you go. Some people have called for the speedy treatment of all the matters before the court, the election tribunals before the day of inauguration. Do you think this is a possibility? It is possible. It's quite possible and I want to believe that there's nothing that the tribunal want to do that it cannot do now because the best method, the best way to get these issues sorted out without any violence, without any problem on the inauguration day is to ensure that this election tribunal decides the case before the day of inauguration. If this is done, it will be very easy for somebody to know to say well this is what the court has said that then the inauguration will go on if the court now decides to modify or cancel that result, I mean that election. That means that another election will have to be held. There are going to be issues, consider issues but then that can always be handled. The court has the wisdom to know the pronouncement to make in the circumstances to take care of the value because there must be no vacuum in government. Is the date May 29 sacrosanth by law? That it cannot be changed. Well that date is sacrosanth by law because if that date is not kept it means that something else unless unless unless there is an intervention of natural natural elements that will cause it not to be possible for that innovation to be heard or the election is cancelled as in this case if this is done then the tribunal will now give a direction on what else to be done in the circumstance. Okay but if what if it gets to May 29 and maybe something happens like you have said or the elections is cancelled and there is no provision in the constitution for an interim government and the the tenure of the president administration will end on May 29. What happens now to Nigeria? How will it be at the start beyond then? The theory of necessity will come in because where the law has made provision for a particular issue and certain things because it was not in the search in the first place and certain things happened then the doctrine of necessity comes in. The issue of interim government can be by way of necessity let it come to stay to take care of the vacuum. I mean the situation between the time that election is going to be conducted properly another body that will be conduct the election and all that is set up and everything will be done according to the books according to the law that interim government can become legal by reason of the doctrine of necessity.
