Nigerian 2023 Election

Over the years in this country,it Should be on record that the 2023 general election is not just only more peaceful,it is also a picture of democratic process where the party at the center can not announce results that must be accepted.

The election showed the strength of the 3 major contenders and how a third force became a major force. A major force because From political permutations,it would have been a Herculean tasks to win if the PDP who are the main opposition party took care of their house properly. Who will say he doesn't know that south south and south East of Nigeria are the major stronghold of the PDP over the years? Not giving Peter Obi the opportunity to jostle for the party flag by some power brokers crippled the PDP. Obi used the labour party barely 5 months to contest a general election.

Who are those at the helm of affairs in the labour party as at the time Obi came looking for ticket? I know Prof Pat Utomi was there.

Imagine that before election games were on and persons positioned strategically.

Put it anyhow,the case in court to me is the weakest case in tribunal history
