The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has explained why he has remained confident in Nigeria's judiciary despite the controversy around their rulings on some matters.
Obi speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Thursday, said that his confidence is drawn from the fact that the Justices are Nigerians and are aware of how bad the situation has been in the country and only truth and justice will save this country.
“They, the Justices desire a better Nigeria for themselves and their children and that can only come through by doing the right thing and telling the people the truth of any situation.
“For me, I have no cause to doubt the courts, it’s we the politicians that are bent on corrupting every aspect of our national life,” Obi said.
On what his reaction will be if the nation decides to go on with the situation, Obi said he would be shocked if the country at this point still wishes to go on with the rascality of criminality.
The former Anambra state governor said it’s disheartening that the giant of Africa cannot deliver a simple election when small nations like Ghana can deliver with a small error margin and big nations like India also delivers with less than a five percent error margin.
Obi reiterated his earlier position that what the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared is false, pointing out that he's challenging the process and the declaration.
“My trust in INEC has evaporated with what they did on February 25, setting out a rule for the election and abandoning it in the middle of the game. He said that the majority of Nigerians have declared a vote of no confidence on INEC because everybody saw that they promised so much and could not deliver even the minimum.
The LP standard bearer likened what INEC did on February 25 to a restaurant promising a sumptuous meal, but after serving the appetizer, failed to bring the main meal.
On his message to his supporters for Saturday, March 8, 2023 gubernatorial and state assembly elections, Obi said they should vote for Labour Party candidates in their states, and where there is no candidate they should vote with a new Nigeria in mind, looking out for competence, character, capacity, and capabilities.
