Sit back to surf through the social media and sort from the maze
of commentaries on the day's sittings at the tribunal, whenever the court
adjourns the APC is everywhere claiming all manner of advantage. This is hardly
reasonable as the media trial and adjudication of the case at the tribunal
undertaken by APC hounds is unreasonable, ridiculous, irresponsible and
outrageous.
For countless folks here in the State, the ongoing legal firework
at the Elections Petition Tribunal is a media 'daily menu' to feast on. The
snag is: it is one cooked with faked tension and spiced with exaggerated false
reports to mislead them.
Anyone curious to have a firsthand knowledge of what truly transpires in the Tribunal during each sitting should try to be there at sittings. The experience will be enlightening on the real action. The first impression is that APC propagandists are just feeding the people with twisted accounts of what is happening out there.
You will realize that a well-oiled syndicate is perpetually on
stand-by, to interpret every process and sitting, doctored to reflect, amplify
and spread the APC version of reality.
Little wonder, folks who are nowhere near the court room become
authorities and experts at analyzing the pendulum of victory and where it will
eventually swing. It could be realized that the APC pliant media fronts are
focused on manipulating the proceedings to keep alive their false stream of
opinion about the April 11, 2015 elections.
For decency sake, the APC cannot play the double role of complainant and jury in her own case. They brought a petition to the Tribunal, yes. That is legitimate. The questionable and disturbing thing is not allowing the honourable Panel of Judges to do their interpretation of the performance of both prosecution and defense teams in the case and pass judgment.
Already, the APC horde says with facts at the Tribunal so far, we should all return home and prepare for a rerun. In their overblown arrogance, they have already concluded the matter.
An interesting aspect of the judicial proceedings is that the
hostility that pervades some social media accounts by the APC is shocking
indeed. It is a world apart in contrast to the camaraderie and amity that is prevailing
at tribunal sessions. Both defense and plaintiffs legal teams constantly
exchange pleasantries, hugs, handshakes and smiles which is normal. It leaves
me wondering where the toxic media flicks and outputs are fired from.
APC'S revisionism of events is not limited to the hard-boiled lies
dished out as new alerts on the goings-on at the Tribunal, it stems from the
inconsistency of their petition. Like a badly written book, the APC continues
to revise her protest and prayers in this case. The tribunal is yet to get to the
end of the trial of the petition, but APC acolytes will do well to spare us
those rulings fashioned according to their bias.
