Barely three days to the 2023 general elections, a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, has urged Nigerians not to allow judges to decide who rules Nigeria by not accepting the results of the presidential election.
Nnamani, who also explained the importance of the electoral process, stressed that the 2023 general elections will be challenging in the area of results, while calling on groups to speak the truth and lead with recommendations for a successful election.
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the National Coalition for Peace and Unity as the national chairman of the group on Tuesday, in Abuja, the former Senate president explained that “we are going into a pivotal electoral process and the challenge will be results of the election. A group like this should be in the position to speak up and lead with recommendations.
“I know people will dispute the results but there should be people that should advise that we should not allow two, three, five judges to determine who rules us, we should obey the outcome of the ballot box.”
The group, comprising its Secretary-General, Cairo Ojougboh and a former Anambra State Governor, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, among others, noted that it is important to proffer solutions for the peace and unity of the country.
The former senate president pointed out that; “We are now learning how to utilise our money. Anything that is happening now might be sounding very drastic but I see green light at the end of the tunnel.
“If we can endure through this period and get it right, we stand to benefit a lot without being violent. The benefit will definitely outweigh the hardship.
“I appeal to people that we don’t have any other country. In Nigeria, the situation we are going through now, I think in the end it will play out well. Nigeria is so blessed, our natural endowment is not in question.”
