A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Emeka Etiaba has alluded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) being hasty in its decision to declare the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, Bola Tinubu winner of the February 25 election.
Etiaba, who appeared in a Monday interview on Channels Television’s morning show, Sunrise Daily, said aggrieved citizens should not speculate about the outcome of the election as the electoral body still had a week to review the results.
“Section 72 of the Electoral Act gives INEC 14 days to announce results and that there was no need to rush; they are still within time, they still have seven days to review the election results,” he said.
“The law is the law; the law insists that law is what it is, not what an individual says it is.
