In their counter affidavit to the application, lawyers representing Tinubu and the APC said the court does not have powers to grant the prayers of the application. Their counter affidavit argued that the decision falls out of the jurisdiction of the court because it touches the power of the court’s president.
“The application also touches on the powers and jurisdiction invested in the President of the Court of Appeal by the Constitution, over which this honourable court as presently constituted cannot entertain.
“The application touches on the administrative functions, which are exclusively reserved for the President of the Court of Appeal,” the affidavit read.
