Chimamanda Adichie present at the Presidential election tribunal.
Nigeria’s Presidential election might hit a new turn, with the case presently at the election tribunal. Both Labour Party (LP) and The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had filed petitions against INEC for its lackadaisical role in the 2023 Presidential election, as well as APC’s winning candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for failure to meet the requirements as recommended by the constitution. World acclaimed writer, Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie, who has been overtly vocal in her support for Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, was present in today’s hearing as a show of support for the Labour Party candidate. All eyes are on the judiciary to deliver a fair judgement on the issues that ensued during the recently concluded presidential election.
