The fact that the Constitution prescribes a time limit doesn\u2019t mean that that time limit must actually run. So the context of my call is that the politics is overheated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other day, the Minister of Information (Lai Mohammed) was accusing Mr Peter Obi of treason, people wanting interim government and all kinds of things going around. The DSS is shouting that there are people all over the place doing some certain things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe judicial philosophy of Nigeria is about hundred years old, Nigeria is not known for speed. Why is it possible that Ghana finishes its own election petition in 30 days, why can\u2019t we also do it here.
