Despite the court ruling, Peter Obi is still very much confident that he'll be in the ballot.
He seems unshaken by the judgement. And looks like he's got other plans.
Well, only Tinubu and Mahmood know what they saw on IREV in 2023.
If na you see that same thing, you go actually fear the second coming of Obi.

EFFORTS TO DEREGISTER THE NDC IS A THREAT TO NIGERIA’S DEMOCRACY- Adeyanju
The ongoing and unrelenting efforts to deregister the two major opposition political parties expected to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election is condemnable and is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.
No President should seek to govern in an atmosphere where viable political opposition is weakened or eliminated. President Tinubu does not need to go into the next election without credible challengers to secure a legitimate victory. If his administration has earned the confidence of Nigerians, it should be prepared to face every qualified political party at the ballot box. Legitimacy is strengthened by competition, not by the absence of it.
Those behind any actions designed to weaken or cripple the opposition, whether directly or indirectly, should remember that they do not merely damage political parties but risk damaging Nigeria’s international reputation. A nation that is perceived as shrinking its democratic space sends the wrong signal to investors and the global community.
Nigeria’s democracy must never be reduced to a system where the outcome of elections appears predetermined by the weakening of political alternatives. Every lawful political party has a right to exist, to campaign and to test its popularity before the Nigerian people. It is the electorate who should decide who governs our country and nobody else.

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu judgement is working overtime to avoid contest come 2027, hence they have gone on forum shopping. The purported illegal fraudulent judgment procured today in Lokoja Kogi State through some criminal gang that is unknown by any law in Nigeria as a political Party cannot stand. Come 2027, BAT and his criminal terrorist regime will come to an end. It doesn’t matter how much fraudulent judgement they got, there will be elections and they will give account of their stewardship.@PeterObi@KwankwasoRM@iamHSDickson@Peter4Nigeria@AishaYesufu@AdaOgbuNara@peter_ameh@KKenPela@dchrisiyovwaye

Do not vote for me because I am an Igbo man. Vote for me because among all the presidential candidates, I am the most qualified.
I challenge all the presidential candidates to a debate.
