Supreme Court Judgment: Atiku’s Lawyers Only Collected His Billions – Prof. Sagay

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory
Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has reacted to the Supreme
Court judgment which validated President Muhammadu Buhari’s
election, saying the lawyers of Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) only collected
hefty sums from him.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Sagay said any
serious lawyer with hood good knowledge of election laws would have
known that there is no way Atiku could have won based on the two
issues he promised his appeal on.

The two issues according to him are Buhari’s certificate and
INEC server.When I look at these two major issues, i just wondered
what the appeal was all about. For me it is about lawyers just
making millions, maybe billions, because any lawyer going to court
on behalf of Atiku with all that legal background has not done its
duty as a lawyer”.

” I said so because when your client has no case, you should
tell him. If he insists on going ahead instead of ridiculing
yourself, you can refuse to take up the case”.

“I have done that on several occasions. So I am not surprised
but the speed shows how hopeless the case was” he said.
