The spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has reacted to the Supreme Court verdict affirming President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential polls.
Okonkwo, said this while addressing the pressmen after the Supreme Court verdict, said that the Supreme Court agreed the 2023 presidential election was not credible.
He said as a fine imposed on the second respondent for the proceeds of narcotics and money laundering by the district court of Illinois, I sat down too I did not hear it and I wonder whether that was swept under the carpet or was an oversight because the lead judgment was detailed on all other issues and they say all the issues there have been overtaken by even all our own issues and I did not hear the issues… and so that is why I say I disagreed respectfully, even though the decision is binding.”
Also, reacting to the verdict via his X handle, Okonkwo noted that it was strange that the Supreme Court refused to mention the issue of the $460,000.00 as fine for narcotics trafficking and money laundry brought to the Court by the appellants.
Okonkwo wrote, “The Supreme Court dismissed the petition of Peter Obi as lacking in merit, thereby affirming the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC). It’s strange that the Supreme Court did not say anything whatsoever about the issue of the “Forfeiture of $460,000.00 as fine for narcotics trafficking and money laundry brought to the Court by the Appellants.
“It’s well.
“In God we trust.”
“In God we trust.”
In another post Okonkwo wrote “The Supreme Court delivered judgment today. It started with Atiku’s petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the application by Atiku to admit the evidence of the “forged” certificate presented to INEC by the 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) on the ground that it was not pleaded in the petition at the lower court and the 180 days within which the lower court can try this petition has elapsed thereby robbing the lower court and the Supreme Court the jurisdiction to hear the matter.”
