Supreme Court: Oby Ezekwesili Vows to Continue the Fight

Renowned Nigerian activist and former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, remains undeterred in her pursuit of justice following the recent Supreme Court judgement that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election.

The Supreme Court ruling comes as a result of appeals filed against Tinubu’s election by two prominent figures in Nigerian politics, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

Atiku and Obi turned to the apex court after their petitions against Tinubu were dismissed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Ezekwesili, known for her unwavering commitment to achieving a transparent and accountable society, expressed her determination to continue the fight for a better Nigeria.

In a statement released on her platform, Ezekwesili wrote, “The fight for a Good Society has only now started, and we know that nothing can extinguish the flame of a people who have had enough of the invasive cancer of corruption and criminality.

“To fully grasp the magnitude of this struggle, one can draw inspiration from the story of 1970s Hong Kong, where the pursuit of a Good Society taught us that ‘it is never over until the people declare it so’.”
