Festus Keyamo reacted
Reacting to the development, Keyamo took to his Twitter page and recalled saying that the election petition tribunal will not instantly determine the outcome of the election before May 29th because the opposition will need more time to prove their case.
The tweet sighted by Legit.ng on Sunday, May 21, reads thus:
"More than a week ago, I tried to educate some of those calling for the ‘instant’ determination of the Presidential Election Petitions before May 29th that it is even the Petitioners that would need more time to prove their cases. Shockingly, some supposedly ‘learned’ fellows goaded the mob to believe otherwise. Now, they can see the process as it unfolds IN REALITY.
"In the fullness of time, we shall separate the truths from the fantasies."
