Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have the right to challenge the decision of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), according to former education minister Oby Ezekwesili.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the tribunal dismissed the appeal submitted by Atiku, the PDP’s presidential candidate, and Obi, the LP’s flagbearer, disputing President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the election held on February 25.
Ezekwesili expressed his admiration for all the people who had refused to accept the tribunal’s decision in a post on her verified X account on Friday. He said that the judiciary will continue to be closely watched until the entire constitutional process had been completed.
UPDATE: Oby Ezekwesili Is Like Daughter To Me – Obasanjo
According to the former minister, regardless of how entrenched politicians and regulators may be, democracy belongs to the people.
She wrote: “The #PEPTJudgement is rightly being contested by the petitioners who have headed to the final arbiter, the Supreme Court.
“As arduous as the Constitutional Process is in our Democracy, my admiration is for all Citizens who have refused to “simply move on”.
“Democracy belongs to Citizens, not politicians and regulators, no matter how entrenched they may be.
”So #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary is still a thing, until the entire Constitutional Process is exhausted.
“Liberating society and people from an entrenched and perverse political culture is never a dash.
Stand on.”
