Nigeria's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has harshly criticized the state of the country's electoral and judicial systems. During a recent speech at a democracy dialogue in Bauchi, Obi accused professors of aiding electoral fraud, lawmakers of weakening electoral laws, and senior lawyers of defending forgery. He contrasted his own legal victory in court with the current state of Nigeria's institutions, stating that "professors are now aiding illiterates to rig elections" and that "lawmakers have removed forgery as an offence in electoral matters."
Obi also criticized senior advocates for defending forgery and religious leaders for praying for criminal politicians. He further alleged that some judges have become politically aligned, singling out the phrase "On your mandate we stand" as a sign of a broader institutional crisis. Obi emphasized that these developments require immediate attention and reversal.
