Supreme Court Ruling: Government Of The Day Creating Monster Very Difficult To Tame In Years – Labour Party.

The Lagos State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has reacted to the final judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria concerning the outcome of the February 25th Presidential election where they affirmed the election of President Tinubu as the duly elected president of Nigeria.

The Lagos State Chairman of Labour Party  Pastor Dr. Dayo Ekong, in a press conference on Tuesday, 31st October 2023, said that the government of the day is creating a monster that will be difficult to tame in years to come.

She stated that the Supreme Court ruling is a miscarriage of justice that will directly affect the nation.

In her own words during a press conference at the Party’s secretariat in Lagos, Ikeja GRA:

“It is not just Labour Party or our Principal, HE Peter Obi who are directly affected by the ruling who suffers, but the entire nation.

“The ruling of the election tribunal has cast a shadow of doubt on the integrity of our Justice system and eroded the trust that citizens place in it.

“The ripple effects of this great injustice has not only robbed every single Nigerian that braved the odds to come out and cast their votes of their rights and dignity but also sends a chilling message to all citizens that the system can fail them.

“This injustice has created in our youths a sense of disillusionment and injustice.

“Young people who are supposed to be a nation’s most valuable asset have been left questioning the very principles upon which our legal system is built.

“A nation where our youths have lost faith in the fairness of the courts will result in them less likely to report crimes, cooperate with authorities, or even engage in peaceful and lawful activities, out of fear that the system will fail them.

“The government of the day is creating a monster that may be difficult to tame in the years to come; the have laid a blueprint for the younger generation to learn from and replicate.

“It sends a message to that some individuals are less valuable or less deserving of Justice, simply because of their race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other factors. This, in turn, fosters resentment, mistrust and division within our society.

“Our economy is in a terrible state yet our so called leaders are busy spending and wasting the little we have.
