Supreme Court judgement: ‘Fight has just begun’ – Oby Ezekwesili

Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, has declared that the fight has just begun following the Supreme Court judgement that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election in the February 25 presidential election.

The judgement followed appeals filed against Tinubu’s election by Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.
Atiku and Obi approached the apex court to appeal the ruling of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which dismissed their petitions against Tinubu.

“Read the story of the 70s Hong Kong to learn that in the quest for a Good Society, ‘it is never over until a people say it is over’.”
