Nigeria awaits the verdict in the case against President Bola Tinubu's election victory as contenders Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar challenge the credibility of the poll and Tinubu's qualification. The judges are deliberating, and if the court upturns the result, it would be the first time in Nigeria's history for a presidential poll. Legal experts weigh in on the potential outcome.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, has criticized President Bola Tinubu's plan to provide N8,000 as a palliative to 12 million households, stating that it is insufficient to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal. Obi emphasized that almost every family in Nigeria is feeling the impact of the subsidy removal and that the relief plan should be extended to include teachers and other poorly paid individuals. He encouraged Nigerians to enroll for the N8,000 relief plan, highlighting the country's high poverty level.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, has denied planning a protest ahead of the inauguration of the incoming President, Bola Tinubu. Obi's aide, Tai Obasi, also stated that it would be "extremely weird" for Obi to attend Tinubu's swearing-in ceremony as he is challenging Tinubu's election victory in court. Obasi added that Obi is a humble and reasonable man who is always looking for peace and unity in the country.
