Former Nigerian Minister of Education Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has said that the Nigerian judiciary is now in the radar of global surveillance as it adjudicates over the numerous cases of election disputes in the country.
NPO Reported earlier today that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal began it’s sitting today in Abuja.
Candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi and his Peoples Democratic Party’s counterpart Atiku Abubakar, are challenging the winner Ahmed Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress.
The two are asking that Tinubu’s victory be nullified on account of the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission to upload the results of the elections online as promised before the exercise.
Ezekwesili, who is a major backer of Obi, said the attention of the world is on Nigeria to see how the judges will act.
She wrote on Monday, “All eyes – at home and abroad- are now on the Nigerian Judiciary.
May the Lord help those our 5 justices to act with utmost integrity and uphold the Rule of Law at all cost thereby advancing Judicial Independence in our Democracy. Amen!”
