Obi noted that the majority of Nigerians have declared a vote of no confidence on INEC because everybody saw that they promised so much and could not deliver even the minimum.

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said he is confident in Nigeria’s judiciary despite the controversy around their rulings on some matters.
During an interview on Thursday on Channels TV’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, Obi said that his confidence is drawn from the fact that the Justices are Nigerians and are aware of how bad the situation has been in the country and only truth and justice will save this country.
“They, the Justices desire a better Nigeria for themselves and their children and that can only come through doing the right thing and telling the people the truth of any situation.
“For me, I have no cause to doubt the courts, it’s we the politicians that are bent on corrupting every aspect of our national life,” said Obi.
On what his reaction will be if the nation decides to go on with the situation, Obi said he would be shocked if the country goes on with the rascality of criminality.
The former Anambra State governor said it is disheartening that Nigeria, described as the giant of Africa, cannot deliver a simple election when small nations like Ghana can deliver with a small error margin and big nations like India also deliver with less than a five per cent error margin.
Obi reiterated his earlier position that what the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared was false, pointing out that he is challenging the process and the declaration.

“My trust in INEC has evaporated with what they did on February 25, setting out a rule for the election and abandoning it in the middle of the game,” he said.
Obi noted that the majority of Nigerians have declared a vote of no confidence on INEC because everybody saw that they promised so much and could not deliver even the minimum.
The LP presidential flag bearer likened what INEC did on February 25 to a restaurant promising a sumptuous meal, serving the a la carte but failing to bring the main meal.
In his message to his supporters for Saturday’s governorship and state Assembly elections, Obi said they should vote for Labour Party candidates in their states, and where there is no candidate they should vote with a new Nigeria in mind, looking out for competence, character, capacity, and capabilities.
