But speaking with newsmen in Abuja yesterday, Uche, who is Atiku’s lead counsel, said: “I have been asked about May 29. I want to assure people that swearing in is only a ceremony that does not in any way tie the hands of the court.

“The taking of oath binds the person who takes the oath and not the court.

“The court has given you its timelines for parties to present their case. We are happy that with the development, the petitions will be expeditiously determined.”NYSC Portal
