Verdict of presidential election tribunal may throw Nigeria into turmoil – Bode George warns

George, a former governor of old Ondo State, said he is concerned about what would happen if the tribunal’s decision leans in favor of the petitioners’ (President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, and the Independent National Electoral Commission) or the respondents’ (2023-2027: Nigerians, Elected Leaders, and Expectations) (the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party).

George continued by stating that Nigeria’s constitution is unworkable since it was created by the military while imitating the American system. George was a special guest of honor at the occasion. “I spent a lot of time in the military, and I can confirm with authority that the Nigerian constitution is unquestionably written with the military in mind. In the military, directives are given from the top down. However, in a democratic system, the people themselves hold the most authority. However, the fact that we replicated the American Constitution is the reason why nothing is working. If we believe that this constitution will lead us to the Promised Land, then we must be deluding ourselves.

According to The Punch, the world has been waiting for Nigeria to emerge as a great nation, according to Governor Hope Uzodinma, who was represented by the Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba. She also stated that Nigerians want a country that can function.

In the presence of his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Daniel Alabrah, Governor Douye Dir bemoaned the failure of Nigeria to realize its full potential 60 years after independence. He urged leaders to support young people and prevent them from being recruited for political violence.

Gabriel Akinadewo, the lecture’s host and managing director of Freedom Online, had earlier stated that the lecture’s goal was to generate ideas for what Nigerians could want between now and the next presidential election in 2027.
