According to the twitterer: “The lawyer told Bamidele that according to The Location of FCT report he attached to his WS, Abuja is suppose to be a symbol of our unity, but the witness replied that the statement was subjective, and that every state has its capital city.
“The lawyer asked him a trick question,
“how many states do we have in Nigeria?”
“And the witness replied, “36.”
“The lawyer asked him to look at page 51 of that FCT report where the Committee recommended that Abuja as FCT should be specially provided for in the constitution because of its importance, and the witness read it and agreed with him.
“The lawyer told him that, by that recommendation, Abuja is a special entity. The witness replied that it was recommended that Abuja be provided for only. The lawyer asked him to read out a statement in the report which he did, and the lawyer said, “do you now agree that Abuja is our symbol of Unity?” The witness said yes.
“Another interesting interrogation for me was when the lawyer told Bamidele that Tinubu did not score 25% in FCT, Abuja and the witness replied that he (Tinubu) didn’t need to. The lawyer informed him that Buhari and Yardua scored 25% in FCT but Tinubu did not!
“I put it to you that Tinubu is the first person who never scored 25% in FCT!”
“The witness replied that it wasn’t the intention of the lawmakers to make 25% mandatory.
“The lawyer fired at the witness by saying, “Of all the 4 major candidates APC, PDP, LP, NNPP each of those 4 candidates won in their home state except Tinubu!”
“The witness said yes.
“Damn!
“Meanwhile APC & Tinubu closed their cases with PDP too.”
