“Professors are now aiding illiterates to rig elections”- Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, says Nigeria currently has a morality crisis alleging that prrofessors and clergymen now work hand in hand to champion the course of bad governance.

While speaking at a public function in Bauchi state today, August 11, the former governor of Anambra state recalled how how judges he had never met delivered judgment in his favour while he was challenging his electoral loss.

He said in present-day Nigeria, Professors who are supposed to know better now rig elections in favour of illeterates.

“I was in court for three years challenging my election, five judges that I never met for one day gave judgement in my favour, it cannot happen in Nigeria of today. I went to Court of Appeal, five judges I never met gave judgement in my favour.

So, if you look at that and look at what is happening today in Nigeria where professors are now aiding illiterates to rig elections, where our lawmakers have removed forgery as an offence in electoral matters, and Senior Advocates of Nigeria are defending forgery. Our religious leaders are now praying for criminal politicians for blessings. We have a crisis. And above all, our judges are now singing on your mandate,” Obi said
