Can Nigeria 🇳🇬 Courts Resolve Electoral Doubts‽
I will be honest, I was rooting for Peter Obi to win this election & become Nigeria’s 🇳🇬 next President. However, the danger of three leading candidates is that while most people vote against the incumbent, the latter can win due to rivals “splitting the vote.”
That said, many people are upset with the results (& understandably so), as President Elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu victory is not being celebrated by most of Nigeria 🇳🇬. Peter Obi is challenging the results in court, but I wonder if the courts will overturn the proclaimed results of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)‽
While Obi said he won the election and would explore all legal and peaceful means to prove it in court, Atiku concurred, saying “the processes and outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly elections of last Saturday were grossly flawed in every material particular and as such, must be challenged.” […]
In a quick response, Tinubu, who had earlier in his victory speech extended a hand of fellowship to his challengers at the poll, said he would meet them in court to defend his mandate. […]
Obi, who spoke at a briefing in Abuja, enjoined his supporters, especially party members, not to despair because he and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, had taken up the challenge posed by President Muhammadu Buhari and President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to mount a legal challenge if they were convinced the electoral process was faulty. (Vanguard)
I do not think the courts will attempt to overturn the proclaimed results of this election in order to avoid creating a legal precedent (which could result in chaos in future elections).
However, I suspect the courts will issue decrees requiring the INEC to be properly staffed & funded to avoid this scenario in the future.
I do not think this is the end of Peter Obi’s political career. I believe that in four years, he will run for President again—albeit this time emerge victorious.

Nigeria may be dominated by Christians and Muslims but these two have no superior right to religion than traditional worshippers or even atheists. A secular nation such as ours is an embodiment of all religions and should neither discriminate nor be seen to do so, especially if unhealthy religious competition & oppression are to be discarded.
