The Punch paper reported that Chief Edet Nkpubre, in an exclusive interview said; “Assuming the court calls for a rerun, who takes over the government? It is the Senate President. This would not be fair to the system or to other parties. Remember that President Tinubu has appointed the security chiefs, he is appointing ministers and has supported the emergence of the heads of the legislature.”

He stated further; “What else does anybody want again? The government has already been set up. This might even influence the Judiciary on the doctrine of jurisprudence”
