The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) has been warned not to give any verdict that will set the country ablaze.

The spokesperson of the Diaspora Action for Democracy in Africa (DADA), Great Jonathan, gave the warning during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, August 17, TheCable reported.

Jonathan said all eyes will be on the judiciary because it has all that it takes to save Nigeria from the threat of explosion.

He added that the electorate knows more than the court because they know who they voted for and are waiting for the court because they have respect for the law.

“But since it is the prerogative of the court to ensure that truth and justice prevail each time they are disputed, to make room for peace and harmony, the court has been given enough evidence to prove the real winner of the 2023 presidential election.

“Arising from our discussions with a wide array of Nigerians is the fear that the judiciary needs to be cautious because if their verdict fails to satisfy the requirements of justice it may detonate the youths’ simmering anger and set the country ablaze.”
