The Supreme Court concluded that the 2023 presidential election was not credible, according to Kenneth Okonkwo, the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council.

This comment was made by Okonkwo, one of Obi’s attorneys, to reporters following the Supreme Court’s decision on Thursday, October 26.

According to the lead judgement, which was detailed on all other issues, all the issues there have been overtaken by even our own issues, so I did not hear the issues. “As a fine imposed on the second respondent for the proceeds of narcotics and money laundering by the district court of Illinois, I sat down too and I wonder whether that was swept under the carpet or was an oversight,” the speaker stated. and for that reason, even if the verdict is final, I declare that I respectfully disagreed.

Indeed, it has been set aside; the Supreme Court is qualified to interpret the Constitution. All I’m going to say about it is that it is their prerogative as the branch of government that has been given the authority to interpret, and that interpretation is binding on all of us.

It’s extremely intriguing that the Supreme Court acknowledged that the failure to post the election results on IREV lowered public faith in the process. This is the only interesting paragraph that the court made public. I understand the Supreme Court to be in agreement that the elections were not credible, or not as credible as they should have been in light of the uploaded results.

Therefore, one of the three components of a free, fair, and credible election for the people is credibility. I was happy that the Supreme Court noted that Nigerians’ confidence in the results was lowered by the non-uploading of the results, indicating that it cannot be taken for granted that it is credible because Nigerians were excluded from it. Credible implies believable, so why exclude the people for the rights that the law has granted them? I adore that specific passage.
