The Obidient Movement has criticised a former President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami, over his recent comments on the eligibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to contest the 2023 election.
Recall that on Tuesday, Justice Salami argued that Obi ought not to have been allowed to contest the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party platform.
In response to this, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko said the highest court in the land had already settled all matters regarding Peter Obi’s candidacy and his membership in the Labour Party, insisting that the courts did not disqualify him on the grounds of party membership.
According to him, rather than revisiting settled matters, attention should be directed to addressing systemic challenges within the judiciary, including concerns about competence and standards raised earlier by Salami himself.
