Amidst the rising tension and anticipation surrounding the upcoming verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) on Peter Obi’s case, popular social critic and author, Reno Omokri, has raised an eyebrow on the timing of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) two-day warning strike.

In a recent tweet, Omokri pointed out the conspicuous timing, asking, “Why go on a two-day warning strike on a day the Presidential Election Petition Court is to deliver its verdict? Why not do it after or before?” The critique didn’t stop there; he further insinuated that the timing, coinciding with such a significant event, was beyond mere coincidence.
The NLC, under its current leadership, has been known to be politically active. Omokri was quick to highlight that the NLC President had openly shown support for Peter Obi during the elections, which brings about questions on the real motive behind the strike’s timing. “There are 365 days in a year. This timing is just too convenient for comfort,” Omokri added.
The forthcoming PEPT verdict scheduled for Wednesday, September 6, 2023, has generated a lot of attention, debates, and speculations among Nigerians. Omokri’s tweet further emphasized the need for a transparent judicial process without external interference. He ended his tweet by urging those behind the #AllEyesOnTheJuduciary movement to allow the judiciary to operate without undue pressure, “The Wednesday, September 6, 2023, PEPC verdict must not be scuttled, and those who are shouting #AllEyesOnTheJuduciary must allow the judiciary breathe.”
Reactions:
- Chidinma Ekile: “The timing indeed is questionable. But could it be a mere coincidence or a calculated move? Only time will tell.”
- Daniel Amokachi: “The Judiciary should remain impartial. Any form of interference or pressure, no matter how subtle, is a threat to our democracy.”
- Blessing Okagbare: “Both the NLC strike and the PEPC verdict are crucial for our nation’s progress. One can only hope they are not interlinked in any mischievous way.”
- Kunle Afolayan: “Intriguing times for Nigeria. Every move, every decision now holds so much weight. We’re watching!”
