Giwa said:
"I hope my advice is not coming too late. Nonetheless, it is important to let you know that the future of Nigeria depends on the choices and decisions you will make on Wednesday.
“You must have concluded on the decisions to either allow justice to take its course or to upturn justice.
“However, do know that the greatest mistake you could make is to subvert the will of Nigerians."
The prominent pastor urged the judges to refrain from allowing history to replicate itself, charging them to examine the petition and deliver a judgment of the people.
He said:
“Do not allow history repeat itself by making sure you critically examine petitions before you and officially provide justice for the people.
“Whatever judgment you must have written down before the main judgment on Wednesday, please, reconsider and consider Nigerians.”
The final judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal will be delivered on Wednesday, September 6, at the Federal Appeal Court sitting in Abuja.
The exercise will be televised nationwide as Nigerians await the outcome of the legal battle between President Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi.
