The date, September 6, is set to register as an historic day in the history of Nigeria. On that day, the fate of Nigerians would be decided.
That is the day the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) would deliver its final verdict on the petitions challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu.
According to Kenneth Okonkwo, September 6, will determine whether Nigerians will continue weeping or experience joy.
Interesting Days
There are numerous anticipation, numerous expectations of this memorable day.
Aside from the expectations of the Tribunal verdict which has put the eyes of many Nigerians on the judiciary, September 6, will be the second day of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) nationwide strike.
September 6, promises to a day filled with drama, suspense and uncertainty. In fact, many have said that it may be the day Nigeria May see it end.
In all these drama, President Tinubu, who is in the center of it all, is no where to be found. The Jagaban is faraway in India on official assignment as if nothing is happening.
The Jagaban
You see, Tinubu’s political confidence is something worth looking into. As a matter of fact, such confidence could take one to greater heights, the Jagaban is a living testimony.
This man had dared the then president, Buhari and millions of opposition. He told them boldly that it his his turn to rule Nigeria. True to his words, he found his way into Aso Rock and nothing happened.
Nigerians had vowed to burn the country down if he wins, but when the time came, a diplomatic approach was rather chosen (The Tribunal).
Again, the Jagaban dared his opposition to go to court. Now the day to decide his fate is here and Tinubu is not in the country.
