Reacting, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ahmed Raji, said while the President claimed he had relied on the exparte order issued by the CCT, the question remains how did the order come about. He further submitted that it is pertinent to ask whether the order was properly and regularly issued
On the question on whether the said order can be reversed or set aside, Raji categorically emphasized that, “Any exparte order can be set aside especially when Parties have already joined issues on the point and matter already adjourned to a later date”.
