Nigerian actor, lawyer cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has blown hot over reasons why he believes going to court to challenge the presidential election results is ‘an absolute waste of time’.
Many Nigerians have complained that some of the presidential election results reported by INEC were falsified. If they are dissatisfied with the results, some party chairmen have been tasked with going to court to contest it.
The Labour Party (LP) spokesperson recently stated on Twitter that if a Muslim-Muslim ticket can be imposed on Nigerians, with Muslims holding top seats in the senate and other high offices, going to court will not result in a beneficial outcome. Kenneth Okonkwo penned:
“Any Nigerian who thinks he will get justice in a court against a Muslim-Muslim ticket forcefully foisted on Nigerians in a country where the President is a Muslim, Vice President is a Muslim, Senate President a Muslim, Speaker of the House of Representatives a Muslim, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives a Muslim, National Chairman of the Party a Muslim and the Chief Justice of Nigeria a Muslim is ignorant of the Machina treatment.
This is a government that cannot provide justice to impoverished Muslims like Bashir Machina, and yet some foolish Christians believe they will receive justice from such a country.
Either we want or we don’t want a country founded on equity, justice, and fairness. A new Nigeria is feasible, but it must be founded on equity, justice, and fairness. “We moovee!!!”
