Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization,
has urged Nigerians to prepare themselves for potential “miracles or shocking”
outcomes from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT.
Expressing concerns over the public’s heightened
expectations, Ohanaeze pointed out the disappointment experienced after the
2023 presidential election.
The body warned that a similar scenario may unfold following
the tribunal’s verdict.
A statement by Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, reads partly: “Nigerians are urged to ready themselves for conceivable shocks or miracles that may arise from the decision of the tribunal judges.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo acknowledges the widespread optimism that
accompanied the 2023 election due to the new electoral laws and the Independent
National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) assurance of a credible, free, and fair
process.
“The introduction of electronic transmission of votes was
expected to enhance transparency and accountability, giving citizens confidence
in the electoral system. However, the election outcome left many Nigerians
disheartened and demoralized.
“As Nigerians eagerly await the verdict of the Presidential
Election Petition Tribunal, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as the apex Igbo cultural
organization, advises citizens to prepare themselves mentally and emotionally
for potential shocks or miracles.
“Drawing attention to the disappointment experienced after
the 2023 presidential election, Ohanaeze Ndigbo emphasizes the need for
resilience and realistic expectations.
“By doing so, the organization hopes to foster a more stable
and peaceful environment as the nation awaits the tribunal’s ruling.”
