During a visit to Bauchi, former presidential candidate Peter Obi issued a stern critique of Nigeria’s leadership and moral landscape. He stated that national legislators have effectively decriminalized forgery within the electoral process, while Senior Advocates of Nigeria actively represent those accused of such fraudulent acts.
Obi extended his concerns to religious figures, alleging that they often offer prayers and blessings for corrupt politicians. Furthermore, he expressed dismay over the current state of the judiciary, suggesting that judicial impartiality has declined since his own experience years ago. Reflecting on his past legal battles to secure his governorship, he noted that he won his case through judges he had never met, an outcome he views as unattainable under current circumstances.
Concluding his address, the former candidate urged citizens to practice introspection regarding the country’s direction. He emphasized the necessity for Nigerians to critically assess the state of the nation and their collective future.
