Lawrence I. Okoro ( Sir Law ), @LawrenceOkoroPG, posted on Twitter:

"Which ever way, 6th of September will go down in the history of Nigeria. Generations will read and learn about that date. I hope you be on the right side of history."

Wale Adedayo, @Mario9jaa, in his reaction, took a swipe at Obi and his supporters.

"On Wednesday the 6th of September, 2023, Peter Obi will move to the second phase of “HOW TO STAY RELEVANT AFTER COMING THIRD” by proceeding to the appeal court.

"It is a process that he must take his delusional Obidients through because you cannot discard 6m people like that even when you know you have lost the election," he tweeted.

Kelvin Odanz, @MrOdanz, said:

"The day a selfless person becomes President, he will change the Presidential election petition system so that issues regarding election petition are completely settled before swearing in a President. Until that happens, you'd never witness a tribunal sack a sitting President."
