Partisan group operating under the umbrella of National Rescue Congress, has faulted the decision of the Supreme Court Justices on the electoral victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Leader of the group, Pastor Emmanuel Ihim, Esq, who expressed displeasure over the Supreme Court judgement, described it as a travesty, a blatant disregard for justice, equity, and constitutionality.

Pastor Ihim, who spoke at a virtual world press conference, said: “With a heavy heart, profound responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to justice, we, the National Rescue Congress, addresses the nation on the somber reality of our judicial system. We’ve witnessed a travesty, a blatant disregard for justice, equity, and constitutionality by the Nigeria Supreme Court Justices. Despite the glaring evidence surrounding the Chicago State University and the allegations against Tinubu, the Supreme Court has sadly chosen to disregard the tenets of justice and the rule of Law. It has been gravely observed that the core pillars of our Nigerian democracy, including the executive authority and judicial system, have been subverted. The verdict delivered on October 26, 2023, upholding the Presidential Election Tribunal Court’s decision regarding the petitions of Peter Obi and Alhaji Atiku against Tinubu, as endorsed by members of Nigeria’s Supreme Court, raises serious questions about the integrity of our Constitution, the essence of our democracy, the fairness of our justice system, and our cohesive strength as a nation. This judgment has implications for the principles enshrined in our Constitution, the integrity of our democratic and justice systems, and the very fabric of our national identity. This judgment, endorsing the alleged compromised the Presidential Appeal Court Tribunal, despite overwhelming evidence against it, is a dark stain on our nation’s legal tapestry and— a testament to the compromise of justice. Such glaring compromise was not an oversight but a concerted sabotage against the sovereign will of millions of Nigerians, which diminishes our faith in the system and beckons us to rise, challenge, and reclaim the sanctity of the rule of Law”.

This, he said, is not a moment of despair but a call to action, a reminder that the fight for justice, for a better Nigeria, is in our hands.

Calling on his members to rise, unite, and reclaim Nigeria from the jaws of injustice, Mr. Ihim said that when law becomes a tool of oppression, when justice is miscarried, and when the very pillars of democracy are shaken, it is not just a call to action—it is a clarion call for rescue, and salvage Nigeria with a renewed hope for generations.

While referencing Thomas Jefferson remarks that “When injustice becomes Law, resistance becomes a duty,” the leader of the group noted that “Our call is not one of anarchy or disruption. It calls for reclaiming the foundational values, our democracy, our Constitution, and our God-given rights”.

He called on Nigerians to hold those in power accountable, stressing that the group join hands with all believers in justice, fairness, and equity to champion the cause of restoring Nigeria’s soul.

He concluded that the mission of National Rescue Congress is devoted to reject impunity; systematically dismantle the structures that enable misgovernance and fraudulent political activities in Nigeria.
