Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, said the era of court being arbiter of election matters may give way to jungle justice if state actors do not cease to constitute impediments to justice.
Obi stated this through his lawyer, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu, SAN.
Speaking while reacting to the the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, that upheld the election of President Bola Tinubu, Uzoukwu said, “If we are not careful, our electoral jurisprudence will eventually disappear. I am saying this with every amount of sincerity because when the litigant, when those that contested election continue to find it very difficult to establish their case due to obstacles on the way, starting by INEC, certainly they may resort to some other means of trying to get justice, which may not be lawful.”
