Declare Obi Winner, Don’t Waste Nigeria’s Resources, Group Tells Court

The Director General of Good Governance Institute, GGI, Mr Marcel Ngogbehei is asking the court to declare the Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections Peter Obi as the outright winner and save the country another round of spending and agony.

This he said follows the pieces of evidence tendered at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal against the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC, President Bola Tinubu by various witnesses.

Ngogbehei, who is also a Sloan Fellow of Strategy and Leadership Management at the London Business School (LBS), made this known in a statement issued yesterday in London.

He said after careful consideration of the proceedings of the Presidential Election tribunal in Abuja and without pre-empting judgement, he expects the courts to help the country move on by ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to the President and issue a fresh one to the Labour party candidate – after a careful recompilation of all the results of the 2023 elections from Polling Units all the way up.

He explained that the courts have the powers to recompute the election results as was done in Imo State and declare a rightful winner
