Veteran actor and spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo has said the party’s candidate, Peter Obi will emerge the next president of Nigeria if the presidential tribunal lives up to its “true bidding.”

He stated this while featuring as a guest on News Central’s programme, Politics HQ, recently.

He said, “If the court of justice will live up to its true bidding of being a court of justice, I will tell you by the grace of God, Peter Obi will be the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Okonkwo said section 134 2b of the Nigerian constitution made it clear that any candidate who did not score 25 per cent of votes in the Federal Capital Territory, ought not to be declared the winner of a presidential election.

He said it’s up to the judicial to save Nigeria’s democracy by living up to its true bidding.
