News - Women's Perspective

A Labour Party chieftain and spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Kenneth Okonkwo has disclosed why it’s an absolute waste of time to challenge the results of the presidential election in court.

The Labour Party chieftain bared his mind on Twitter saying no Nigerian should think going to court to contest against a Muslim-Muslim ticket would work.

The veteran actor’s reaction is coming after allegations from different quarters that the results of the Saturday’s polls are manipulated in favour of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Bola Tinubu.

Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have accused Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of compromising the election.

However, the electoral umpire in its response to the several allegations and calls for the cancellation of the results told political parties to seek redress in court.

In his reaction, Okonkwo, an actor and lawyer in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle on Tuesday, submitted that “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, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, National Chairman of the Party and the Chief Justice of Nigeria were Muslim is ignorant of the Machina treatment.

This is a government that can’t give poor Muslims like Bashir Machina justice, and some ignorant Christians believe they will receive justice from such a government.”
