The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has expressed confident in the Judiciary to deliver to the right judgment on the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal case challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
This Online News Media gathered that Obi made this known during an interview with ‘Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily’ on Thursday morning.
According to Obi, has stayed in court for three years challenging to ‘reclaim his stolen mandate’ as the governor of Anambra State, and when people thinks he won’t win, he definitely won.
He noted that the Nigeria’s judiciary is one of the best in the world and believe they are on the path to building a better Nigeria.

when asked about his confidence on the judiciary, Obi said; “I am confident in the judiciary. I am because I have stayed in court for three years when people said it was impossible for you to become a governor through the court and I became the first (to reclaim a stolen mandate). Remember I was impeached and again the court brought me back. And I went for interpretation where I said, ‘My tenure is not complete’. People said it’s impossible because somebody else had been elected but I changed it.
“So, having gone through courts, several of them, I have not had any cause to doubt the court.
“I believe Nigeria has one of the best judiciary globally, but it is we, the politicians, because of our transactional nature, that are trying to ensure that everywhere is corrupted. That I wish can start reversing, even with this case. They are seeing globally what is happening, Africans are surprised that the giant of Africa can no longer deliver. Even Ghana will soon have elections and they will do all without the BVAS and it will go smoothly.
“ don’t go anywhere referring to how others were treated. Irrespective of their judgements recently, I have confidence that they know the country is collapsing, they know they have to help to build a better place for their children.”
