- Peter Obi Global Diaspora Support Network (POGDSN) rejects the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s decision, urging an appeal to the Supreme Court
- The group vows to fight for Peter Obi’s mandate, expressing shock and discontent with the PEPT’s judgment
The Peter Obi Global Diaspora Support Network (POGDSN) has rejected the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s (PEPT) decision and urged their presidential candidate not to back down from appealing to the Supreme Court.
The group, in a statement signed by its convener, Prof Pat Obiefule, expressed shock at the decision, adding that the justices’ decision did not reflect the position of the Nigerian constitution and that Peter Obi should appeal to the Supreme Court.
The group vowed to reclaim Peter Obi’s mandate at the Supreme Court.
The statement said;
We, the Peter Obi Global Diaspora Support Network (POGDSN) hereby reject, in the strongest possible term, the entirety of the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) on the petition CA/PEPC/03/2023 filed by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, challenging the selection of Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
POGDSN is absolutely shocked, discontented, and dismayed by the PEPT’s judgment as it amounts to a total abdication of power to the executive arm of government in a manner indicative of state capture, and does not reflect the independence of the judiciary as envisaged by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
NSCDC alerts on fake recruitment letters
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), has alerted Nigerians on the circulation of fake and invalid employment letters purportedly from the Corps, warning unsuspecting and desperate job seekers to take caution in order not to fall victim to fraudsters and scammers.
According to a statement credited to the Crops Public Relations Officer (PRO), Babawale Afolabi, the Corps have been inundated with complaints from victims who had parted with their hard-earned money ranging from N250,000 to N500,000 before they were issued the fake letters only to get to the NSCDC office and find out that they have been scammed.
