FCT, Abuja - The aftermath of the keenly contested presidential election has reached a fever pitch again, and conversations about the possible outcome of the presidential election petition tribunal have been predicted.

Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party's Peter Obi both filed a petition against President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The content of their petition faults INEC for its controversial decision not to display results electronically in real-time and the malfunctioning of the BVAS machine.

Olarewaju, in his latest tweet sighted by Legit.ng, said:

"There’s always a million reasons for failure but you need only one for success and Atiku Abubakar had it in 2023 - which is why he won that election and the evidence of victory is strong."

He noted that the evidence available to the PDP and its legal team was enough to reclaim Atiku's mandate.

Olarewaju stated that the worse that can happen at the tribunal is for the presiding jury to issue a ruling of a rerun election between Atiku and an unknown opponent to be decided by the tribunal.

He tweeted:

Can Peter Obi defeat Bola Tinubu in court? Charly Boy speaks on what may happen

Similarly, Charly Boy, a popular Nigerian entertainer and supporter of Peter Obi, has described Nigeria as "another Charly Boy show" where "anything can happen" in a negative way.

The popular entertainer expressed concerns over the fairness of the judiciary in delivering justice in Obi's case against Bola Tinubu, the winner of the February 25 elections.

Charly Boy questioned why anyone would advise Obi to let go and move on, using the analogy of a man whose wife had been snatched by another.
