By Ochogwu Sunday
Dr Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor of the Dunamis International
Gospel Centre, DIGC, has warned the Nigerian judiciary against being
compromised in the electoral cases filed before it recently.
The popular man of God, who was reacting to the alleged
manipulation of the presidential election results by the officials of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, recalled a similar case in
Malawi.
DAILY POST recalls that the opposition parties, particularly
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party had rejected the just
concluded presidential election that produced the candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu as president-elect.
The opposition parties alleged that the poll was rigged by
the ruling party, via over voting, snatching of ballot boxes and other
malpractices.
The two parties had challenged the process in the court,
seeking to overturn Tinubu’s victory.
Reacting to the controversies surrounding the outcome of the
election, Enenche on Monday, in a statement he personally signed, recalled how
an opposition party recovered his mandate via the judiciary after an incumbent
party rigged the poll in Malawi.
He challenged the Nigerian judiciary to do the right thing
while delivering judgment on the cases already filed by the aggrieved political
parties.
He said, “The judiciary in Nigeria has now before it, the
choice to either compromise its values or consolidate justice. It is the choice
of treading the path of probity and honour or sliding down the precipice of
compromise and infamy.
“It is time to save Nigeria and set her on a path of
electoral justice, peace and development, and we believe the judiciary will do
the right thing.
“Like Malawi, the Nigeria judiciary now has the golden
opportunity to etch its name in gold by ensuring that democracy remains the
government of the people, by the people and for the people, and not an article
up for sale to the highest bidder”.
