Popular movie actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has reacted to the Supreme Court verdict affirming President Bola Tinubu as the bonafide winner of the 2023 presidential polls.
Raye24reporters reports that the Supreme Court had on Thursday thrown out the petition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Reacting to the verdict via his X account, Okonkwo noted that it was strange that the Supreme Court refused to mention the issue of the $460,000.00 as fine for narcotics trafficking and money laundry brought to the Court by the appellants.
Okonkwo wrote, “The Supreme Court dismissed the petition of Peter Obi as lacking in merit, thereby affirming the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC). It’s strange that the Supreme Court did not say anything whatsoever about the issue of the
“Forfeiture of $460,000.00 as fine for narcotics trafficking and money laundry brought to the Court by the Appellants.
“It’s well.
“In God we trust.”
In another post Okonkwo wrote “The Supreme Court delivered judgment today. It started with Atiku’s petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the application by Atiku to admit the evidence of the “forged” certificate presented to INEC by the 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) on the ground that it was not pleaded in the petition at the lower court and the 180 days within which the lower court can try this petition has elapsed thereby robbing the lower court and the Supreme Court the jurisdiction to hear the matter.”
