Going By Nigeria’s History, I’m Pessimistic That Election Result Can Be Overturned- Femi Falana

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has expressed his opinion about the just concluded presidential election and court cases that have greeted it.

Falana, who featured on the Wednesday edition of Arise TV Morning Show, revealed that he does not see the election result being overturned by the court.

RovingNaija recalls that Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party have approached the Tribunal to challenge the outcome of the election that produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, as President-Elect.

The aggrieved candidates alleged that the results of the elections was grossly manipulated and INEC failed to comply with its electoral guidelines.

Reacting to the development on the National TV, Femi Falana said: “Going by the Nigeria’s history, I’m pessimistic that election results can be overturned.”

Speaking further, the Human Right Activist said: 

“it will depend on the evidence. However, it is disturbing that we involve the judiciary in our election, Nigeria has the highest number of post-election cases globally.”
