Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) during the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has acknowledged that President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, could be sworn in as Nigeria’s next president come May 29.

The former Governor of Anambra State, however, has not given up on reclaiming his stolen mandate as he expressed confidence in getting justice in court even after Tinubu may have succeeded President Muhammadu Buhari.

Obi recalled how he reclaimed his mandate as Governor of Anambra State years ago from Chris Ngige (incumbent Minister of Labour and Employment of Nigeria), three years after he had been sworn in.

Naija News reports that Pre-trials at the Presidential Election Tribunal ended on Tuesday, while trial proper is slated to commence on Tuesday, May 30.

Petitioners have been given three weeks to present their case as opposed to the alleged seven weeks they asked for, beginning from May 30 to June 23.

Speaking, however, through his spokesperson, Diran Onifade, Obi cited multiple incidences where people were recalled after being sworn into office and expressed hope that the court will get him justice now or later.

“Ngige was governor of Anambra State for three years; when his election was found to be faulty, he was removed. Only of recently, Emeka Ihedioha in Imo was asked to vacate for Hope Uzodimma and on and on. So, it’s not a big deal. That’s not how the system works. Even though some people think someone will use executive powers to curtail the court and all. There are separation of powers in our system.

“When you go to court, you expect to get justice in court, and I have been citing examples of people who got justice in the Nigerian court system. We can’t just write them off. As for us, we trust them (the court) because our constitution doesn’t give us an option,” Onifade told DailySun on Wednesday evening.

Story for the gods

Ngige was governor of Anambra State for three years; when his election was found to be faulty, he was removed.

Separation of powers does not work in Nigeria, till date the executive branch of govt still dictates to the judiciary, that is why Tinubu can just sit in his house and make a call to the Chief justice of the federation and tell him, how he wants the case to go.

I like the way Peter Obi speaks with confidence over this issue.

May God help him to get justice because Nigerians have suffered a lot.

Some are even so used to suffering so much so they think that suffering is a norm in this life.

Well, the good news is that Tinubu will be sacked by the Supreme Court tomorrow.

I’m sure that’s why INEC made sure Obi is not second so that he wouldn’t benefit from scenarios like this but he would still prove that he was above Atiku and get sworn in.

Obi, Tinubu and his Owambe Boys’ nightmare 😜

True Talk from HE Peter Obi.

With all the Preparation by the FG and backing of Gen Abdul-Salam and Sultan of Sokoto, Tinubu will be sworn in.

But he will NOT last as President. 😞

Either Osariemmen Osunbor or Yaradua Fate awaits him.
Or like Chris Ngige whom was Ousted by his Godfathers. 😔 😒

Tinubu will NOT last more than 9months!

You narrated one side of your story to back a very weak argument, on the the other side of your story that you purportedly avoided, is that no president elect has been removed in the history of Nigeria, so stop deceiving yourself.

Judas Peter Gringory Obi, is a very useless shameless man.

Be careful of this news website, they publish lots of bull shit stuff.

Hey yah....who know like better thing. Your name has been recorded in the list of Nigeria presidential aspirants. U can't be president.👌 Am not seeing u.

Conceding small small.

Drug Baron's presidency is a temporary one. It will be unexpectedly shortened. Peter Obi is coming.

Another lamba to his mumu followers, from Tinubu will not be sworn into you will claim your mandate after sworn in. What I love about this pandora is that he knows how to press the mumu button of his Obidient.

Tinubu will be the first president to be removed. A new Nigeria is POssible.

The higher you move up any hierarchy, the more rules you can break.

At the apex, the rules are not broken, they are made.

Plan, scheme, connive & strategize. Then be patient, and watch closely — yourself & others.

Every move counts.

Find your hierarchy.
