The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to statements credited to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, saying it was unfortunate that he was casting aspersions on the judiciary, which gave him victory as governor of Anambra State.
Replying to Obi, Onanuga said the Presidency is at a loss as to how the copycat Obi and his faction of the Labour Party convinced themselves they won an election in which they came a distant third. He advised that Obi and his party should come to terms with the Supreme Court judgement, start playing the role of the opposition and start preparing for another shot at the presidency in 2027.
'We wonder how the Labour Party candidate expected the courts to do justice on the basis of rumours, lies, and false narratives by sponsored partisans and fanatical members of his Obidient Movement. 'We expected the Labour Party candidate to know that the Supreme Court or any other court does not give judgement based on public opinion and mob sentiments. Judicial pronouncements are based on evidence, precedents, and the rule of law.
