Peter Obi has expressed his strong disagreement with the recent judgment handed down by the Presidential Tribunal and has announced his decision to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court.
In a move that has surprised many political observers, Obi has refused to accept the verdict of the Presidential Tribunal, which upheld the election of the incumbent president. In a press conference held today in Onitsha , he outlined his reasons for rejecting the judgment and his determination to seek legal redress in the highest court of the land.
Obi, who contested the presidential election as the candidate of the opposition party, cited what he called “fundamental irregularities and electoral malpractices” during the election as the basis for his disagreement with the tribunal’s decision. He argued that these irregularities undermined the integrity of the electoral process and raised serious questions about the legitimacy of the election outcome.
During the press conference, Obi reiterated his commitment to upholding the rule of law and the sanctity of the electoral process in Nigeria. He stated that his decision to take the matter to the Supreme Court was not only a personal pursuit of justice but also a stand for the millions of Nigerians who voted for him and deserve to have their voices heard.
Obi’s legal team is expected to file the necessary papers with the Supreme Court in the coming days, initiating what promises to be a high-stakes legal battle. Legal experts anticipate that this case will have significant implications for the country’s political landscape and will be closely watched by both domestic and international observers.
In the meantime, the nation braces itself for what could be a protracted legal battle as Peter Obi seeks to challenge the presidential election results through the judicial system.
