If Peter Obi is not allowed to be on the ballot for president in 2027, Rev. Dr. Okechukwu Christopher Obioha, leader of the Njiko Igbo Forum, has warned, Nigeria might not be able to hold a successful general election.
The comment was made after Friday’s decision by the Federal High Court to order INEC to deregister the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a political party.
ruling in Lokoja was handed down by Justice Isah Dashen. Dashen ruled that the rights of the Peace Movement Party (PMP), which asserted ownership of the NDC’s chosen logo, were damaged by the previous judgement of the court.
The PMP did not have its claim over the disputed mark included in the original lawsuit, according to the judge.
the public’s trust in the court has diminished because of the present administration’s undermining of the institution and what he called inconsistent rulings.
The true citizens of this nation, he added, who hold the courts in high esteem and want to see a democracy that lasts, aren’t looking at them at all.
The Nigerian judiciary is now completely disregarded. Inconsistencies in Nigeria’s courts have an impact on the actions of the APC government, which has been in power since Tinubu’s ascension to the presidency, and on the country’s leadership generally.
The judiciary has been undermined and mangled by him.
We no longer have faith in judicial pronouncements or political agreements since the judiciary is one of the government’s weak points that needs strengthening.
There won’t be an election in 2027 if Peter Obi is sour about not being on the ballot. That isn’t dangerous. It will all work out in the end. My goal is to You can refer to it as prophesy if you so like. I hold the position of reverend. What I’m trying to do is warn the people of Nigeria.
There will be no 2027 election if Peter Obi, with all his challenges and current level of performance, is frustrated not to be on the ballot.
