With the expiration of the 21 days within which candidates are allowed to file and amend election petitions at the tribunal, all eyes are now on the Nigerian Judiciary in what may well turn out to be the most important judicial proceedings in the history of the country.
Last week, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), responded to petitions filed by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, as well as that of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) asking the tribunal to dismiss their cases. On the heels of their response, the tribunal is expected to announce dates for commencement of proceedings.
The questions on the mind of many Nigerians include:
1). Can the tribunal be trusted to deliver the right judgment?
2). Can the tribunal deliver it's judgement before the May 29th handover date?
3). Is it mandatory for the winner of the Presidential election to score 25% votes in the FCT?
Perhaps the most important question, especially for Obidients is, what if the tribunal upholds the election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President? What if the tribunal dismisses all the petitions raised against the APC and its presidential candidate?
Of course the petitioners still have the option of proceeding to the Supreme Court, however what if the Supreme Court upholds the ruling of the tribunal?
While I applaud the Obidient Movement for their resilience and putting up a formidable opposition to the shenanigans of the ruling APC, they also need to come to terms with reality and the fact that a winner of the Presidential election has been declared and he will be sworn in on May 29th. Our constitution does not recognize the place of an Interim Government (ING) and there will be no vacuum in governance. On May 29th, the declared winner of the Presidential election will be sworn in except the tribunal rules otherwise before that date - one cannot as well predict how long an appeal would take.
What then are the options before the Obidient Movement going forward? Form a formidable opposition base and hold government accountable. Strategically organise instead of consistently agonizing online. No matter how much we shout or wail, it will not change the technical interpretation of Nigeria's constitution or the law. Threatening members of the tribunal or making derogatory remarks against the judiciary won't make them issue a ruling in our favor. One thing we can do, is set standards with which we can hold in the incoming administration accountable in its delivery of the dividends of democracy as well as its campaign promises to Nigerians.
Again, I admonish us to tone down the heat and the verbal altercations online. Let's be civil in our communications. We can disagree without insulting one another or setting the nation on fire with our unguided utterances. We have no other home but Nigeria.

Yours Obidiently,
Amaka Ogunjobi

Agbado thread. . . Spotted and skipped.

To me, many non obidients have no issue with Obi himself but the Obidients...

Anyone wey wan enter .... May the person get sense... weda na Tinubu, Obi, Atiku, Kwakwanso... even Sowore.

All I can say us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Something unexpected will happen in this country which will lead to a new and a better Nigeria.

Come on guys, election is over , get busy with your lives… make money and make your family happy

Sound advice, but bound to fall on deaf ears. "Obidients" prefer to console themselves with made-up nonsense about Abuja's special veto and Guinean passports rather than engage with trying to build up an organization that can come back and win outright in 2027. The latter would require actual work and reaching out to others instead of repetitively posting the same stale propaganda and flinging insults online.

One thing we can do, is set standards with which we can hold in the incoming administration accountable in its delivery of the dividends of democracy as well as its campaign promises to Nigerians.

Again, this is asking the impossible. Insults, threats and inflammatory rhetoric are the bread and butter of the "Obidient" movement. You might as well be asking them to refrain from breathing air!

useless talk. FCT is like any other states.. Mandate THIEVES

Yes daddy criminal

Tinubu is una president

Your point is baseless

Sense can't be forced on any candidate.

If someone without sense is sworn in, no amount of prayers can transform anything.


You have problem with supporters of Peter Obi but you don't have problem with FFK, Bayo Onanuga, MC Olumo. You guys can't even pretend very well.

u are following around for 9 years,,roaming the streets. Only a mad fellow,follow/chase ones around

You are not Obedient. You are either Fanikayode or Kayomo. Go away.

Who be this one

Anytime I see reactions of these Obi dense to the reality of Tinubu being sworn in May, I always have a good laugh.

FG should keep building more psychiatric hospitals in SE abeg.

Campaign and elections are over, the next phase is for government to arrest and prosecute the lp mob who where calling for coup/interim govt, slandering, cyberbullying and criminally defaming innocent Nigerians so that we will not face this pestilence in 2027 elections.

They are not above the law and if they break the law and get away,God forbid, 2027, they will destroy our democracy.

Let's get it straight. You have an issue not with the person whose policies will affect you but people, most of whom who you know simply because you have an internet connection?

Get well soon.
