A constitutional lawyer, Mike Mbanefo has said that the issue of President Bola Tinubu’s alleged certificate would lack probative value if raised at the Supreme Court. The legal practitioner said this while featuring on a live programme on Arise News TV, adding that it is a discretionary right of the apex court to decide whether it is apt to allow the parties to adduce new evidence in appeal trials.

Ahead of the November 6, 2021, gubernatorial election in Anambra state, some Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC have urged the national leadership of the party to resist the temptation of anointing any candidate.
Specifically, the chieftains said that anyone who emerges as the candidate of the party without the people’s input will occasion the party’s failure at the polls, citing Zamfara, Rivers and Bayelsa States as typical examples.
Coming under APC Patriots, Anambra chapter, the party faithful contended that credible, rancour-free primaries were a condition for an APC victory in the governorship election.
Some members of the group included former House of Representatives members, Honourables Chukwuemeke Nwogbo and Chizor Obidigwe, APC Southeast zonal youth leader, Olisa Onyeka, communications specialist, Ike Chidolue, business tycoon, Chidi Ogbaji and Mike Mbanefo, a lawyer, amongst others.
