Lawmakers, SANs now defend forgery, religious leaders pray for criminals – Peter Obi

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Tuesday accused senators, members of the House of representatives and Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SANs, of defending forgery in Nigeria.

Obi also accused religious leaders of praying for criminals.

Speaking in Bauchi, Obi said: “Our lawmakers have removed forgery as an offense in electoral matters, our Senior Advocates of Nigeria are defending forgery, our religious leaders are now praying for criminals politicians for blessings, we are in crisis and above all our judges are now singing ‘on your mandate we stand’.

“I was just discussing with somebody I met here that a justice of the Supreme Court I have never met wrote the entire judgment that made me a governor.

“Where will you get that type of judgment in Nigeria today? It’s impossible. I never met her, I met her two years after being governor.

“I was in court for three years challenging my election and past judges that I never met one day gave judgment in my favour, it can’t happen in Nigeria today.

“So I urge all of us that unexamined life is not worth living. It’s time for every Nigerian to sit down and ask ourselves – ‘where is Nigeria going?’”
