During hearing yesterday, the court refused Peter Obi’s request and ordered that the INEC should go ahead with the reconfiguration of the electoral machines.

He said, “You cannot stampede the judiciary by blackmail. Law does not follow trends on Social Media, mostly uninformed and illiterate. Law is not emotions. Law is law. INEC: 1 – 0 Peter Obi”
