He added that the electorate knows more than the court because they know who they voted for and are waiting for the court because they have respect for the law.

“Arising from our discussions with a wide array of Nigerians is the fear that the judiciary needs to be cautious because if their verdict fails to satisfy the requirements of justice it may detonate the youths’ simmering anger and set the country ablaze.”
