The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa
Tanko, has said election outcomes should be decided at polling units rather
than through prolonged legal battles in court.
Tanko, who is a close aide of former presidential candidate
Peter Obi, spoke on Wednesday during an interview on a current affairs
programme on Eagle 102.5 FM in Ilese-Ijebu, Ogun State.
The Obidient Movement National Coordinator noted the growing
dependence on judicial intervention to resolve electoral disputes and its
implications for Nigeria’s democracy.
He said elections should reflect the true opinions of voters
from the grassroots level, while warning that continued reliance on court
decisions in electoral matters could undermine the credibility of the voting
process.
Tanko said: “We don’t want to give any chance for us to end
up in court at all.
“Elections should be done and dusted at the polling units.
We will not want to give any opportunity for us to go to any court whatsoever.
“Let’s deal with this issue once and for all, establish the
winner, and move on.”
