Obiageli Katryn Ezekwesili, former minister of education, has finally broken silence on the recently concluded presidential and National Assembly election (NASS).
Speaking via a series of tweets on his personal and verified Twitter account, the Harvard University-trained economic policy expert told Nigerians to hold their peace.
Ezekwesili said the “certificate will be returned”, probably hinting at the possibility of a legal battle which may upturn the outcome of the February 25 electoral process.
Ikeja Bird recalls that on Wednesday, March 1, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the presidential election winner.
Polling over 8 million votes, the electoral umpire said the president-elect met the requirement by the law, and he will succeed the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari come May 25, 2023.
However, the outcome of the election did not go well with many Nigerians, especially the supporters of the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The two parties have since commenced legal redress, though the winner hs set up a reconciliation committee with the aggrieved sides.
Ezekwesili believes the outcome of the elections will be upturned.
