Loading

Amidst public heightened concerns, Nigerians were on Tuesday told to prepare themselves for potential “miracles cum shocking” outcomes from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT). Expressing its worry about public’s conjecture on the matter, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, pointed out the disappointment experienced after the 2023 presidential election, warning that a similar scenario might unfold following the tribunal’s verdict.

Read a statement by Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro: “Nigerians are urged to ready themselves for conceivable shocks or miracles that may arise from the decision of the tribunal judges.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo acknowledges the widespread optimism that accompanied the 2023 election due to the new electoral laws and the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) assurance of a credible, free, and fair process.

“The introduction of electronic transmission of votes was expected to enhance transparency and accountability, giving citizens confidence in the electoral system. However, the election outcome left many Nigerians disheartened and demoralised.

“As Nigerians eagerly await the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as the apex Igbo cultural organisation, advises citizens to prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for potential shocks or miracles.

“Drawing attention to the disappointment experienced after the 2023 presidential election, Ohanaeze Ndigbo emphasises the need for resilience and realistic expectations.

“By doing so, the organisation hopes to foster a more stable and peaceful environment as the nation awaits the tribunal’s ruling”.
