Former Minister of Education and Solid Minerals, Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, expressed her disapproval of the Supreme Court’s decision to affirm President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 presidential election. In a social media post following the verdict, the former World Bank Vice President for the Africa division labeled the decision as a “judicial enthronement of criminality.”
Ezekwesili criticized the verdict, stating that it is a clear indication of a “Criminal Enterprise Gang.” She also addressed the citizens who seek a good society, asking them what they can do in the light of judicial enthronement of criminality as an official norm. However, she encouraged them to take heart in the fact that history shows that every criminal enterprise carries the seed of its eventual deconstruction.
