A political activist Rowland Okorie has urged the Nigerian judiciary to declare the true winner of the 2023 presidential election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Since the election in February, different parties, and candidates are challenging the results declared by INEC in court.

Following the petition of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi against the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Bola Tinubu on 25 percent of the votes in two-thirds of the states and the FCT at the presidential election, Okorie is urging the judiciary to nullify the election of President Tinubu and declare the right candidate that secured 25 percent of the lawful votes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja as the winner.

Rowland Okorie, who is the CEO of Equity Concepts Entertainments based in the United States of America, said the inability of INEC to electronically transmit polling units’ results to its Results Viewing Portal questions the credibility of the election and accused INEC of aiding corruption.

“The United State of America will always be the best country in the world where billionaires, ex presidents and high profile individuals are indicted, persecuted and even arraigned in court,” Okorie said.

He made reference to the former president saying “Donald J Trump has been the first. I am calling for the overhaul arrest of anyone involved in trampling Nigerian democracy including INEC chairman. The Nigeria Judicial system cannot be threatened by one man, never in the history of our great country.

“The Nigerian Judiciary are the best in the world when they are willing to do their jobs. It will be a waste of time to talk about INEC. The evidence is bold and overwhelming that they cannot defend their hasty pronouncement of the winner of the election.

“The nation have been stranded in progress and little achievements have been marred by tribal leaders which the 2023 election exposed all of them including some professors we listen to everyday in our tertiary institutions.

“The vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party Datti Baba-Ahmed was very right when he said democracy will end by installing someone that did not fufil the constitutional requirement.

“The Nigeria chief justice is coming to that point where Nigerians will be requesting his recusal. Ariwoola in his wisdom should never consider the personal needs of his family before millions of Nigerians.”
