A social activist, Comrade Kennedy Iyere has appealed to the judiciary, especially the Appeal and Supreme courts, to ensure that Mr Valentine Ozigbo, an aspirant in Anambra governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gets justice.
Iyere, who is also the convener of Victory 4 Ozigbo Movement made the plea on Sunday, during an anti-corruption protest march/press conference in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
While addressing the protesters, Iyere, affirmed that the Victory 4 Ozigbo Movement is an initiative of the civil society, driven under the Civil Society Committee for Anambra Election Security (CISCAES), an election integrity project of Youths Off The Street Initiative (YOTSI), the NGO he founded.
He said the protest was an aftermath of the judgement delivered by Justice O.A Nwabunike.
According to Iyere, Ozigbo is the authentic PDP candidate and winner of the party primary which was conducted by the national leadership of the party on the 6th June, 2021.
He said by the establishment of the “Justice 4 Ozigbo Movement”, the eyes of Nigerians and other members of the international community will observe the way the Nigerian judiciary will play out its role in the ongoing legal battle between good and evil, stating that Valentine Ozigbo, represents everything good because his political ambition means well for Nigeria’s democracy.
He further said that the plot to take over Anambra will never be allowed to succeed. He said this was the reason he formed the Civil Society Committee for Anambra Election Security (CISCAES), whose focus is to ensure that politicians, candidates, security agents, parties, INEC officials, judges and supporters of parties are compelled to play by the rules.
According to him, the “rig and let’s meet in court” approach to elections will not work again in Anambra State.
