The former minister of education and solid minerals, Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, has described the Supreme Court’s verdict affirming President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 presidential election as a ‘judicial enthronement of criminality.’
The Supreme court had affirmed Tinubu victory despite evidence of irregulates during the presidential poll, certificate forgery, drug trafficking and other crimes.
Ezekwesili, a former World Bank vice president for the Africa division, made this known in a social media X post shortly after the apex court’s verdict.
She wrote:
“Now we all know the true definition of a Criminal Enterprise Gang.
“Some would ask, “Where’s now the hope?” because what else can Citizens who seek a Good Society now do in the light of judicial enthronement of Criminality as an official Norm?
“Well, take heart in this fact. History shows that every Criminal Enterprise carries the seed of its eventual deconstruction. All. The. Time.
“So, do not be deceived. Nature abhors dishonest gain and knows how to deal with it from the inside.”
