Group Advises Tinubu To Resist Interference In Tribunal Judgment.

Civil society group, known as the Nigeria Youth Advocacy for Good Governance Initiative in collaboration with Coalition of Civil Society Organizations, is appealing to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to refrain from interfering with the judgment of the Kogi State governorship election tribunal and uphold the principles of democracy.

A statement titled “Exposing Attempts to Subvert Judicial Integrity in Kogi State Governorship Tribunal,” which was signed by the National President, Comrade Shuaibu Abdulkadir, the group insisted that, justice must prevail, regardless of the consequences, in order to rectify the alleged electoral malpractice in the last governorship election in Kogi State.

According to group President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a stalwart of democratic principles, must resist any temptation to interfere with the judgment of the Kogi State Tribunal despite the potential turmoil that may ensue, while, we steadfastly affirm that justice must prevail.

The group also said, the irrefutable evidence of electoral malpractice, including manipulation, over-voting, and voter inducement across Kogi State’s regions, demands redress and called on the judiciary to defend the nation’s democracy with unyielding resolve, without succumbing to fear or favoritism.
