Rev Fr Chukwudi this Peter Obi bribe to Catholic bishops is really taking all the senses away from you. How do you file a case before an election petition tribunal when no winner has been announced for the election?

The matter is for the interpretation of pertinent sections of the constitution related to the supplementary election.SIG is only interested in the interpretation of the grand norm of the country as it affects Anambra guber election.It has nothing to do with election tribunal cases.

more troubles for Peter Obi, he thought he could own Anambra or cover his looting tracks with that ease. Most Anambrarians are disappointed with the outcome of this election just because they know the evil associated with Obi. The only thing that will solve this is the emergence of a leader who will have the mind of his own, a leader who will be ready to recover the loots. Obi must go.
