Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2023 elections, Mr. Adewole Adebayo, has warned against what he called ‘politicisation’ of election Tribunals.
Mr. Adebayo said Presidential candidates who see Tribunals as a place to continue political campaigns should be prepared for the ‘heartbreak’ in the end.
Recall that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) have rejected the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the Presidential election.
Both Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi, had filed separate petitions before the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) to challenge INEC’s declaration of Tinubu as winner of the contest.
Commenting on the matter, Mr. Adebayo said some petitions are “mere therapeutic placebos” by the applicants to placate their followers.
Adebayo wrote on Twitter, “As for Presidential election petitions, blessed are those willing to learn facts and law with open minds when hearing starts.”

“Those who see courts as a continuation of campaigns are setting selves up for heartbreak ????.
“Some petitions are mere therapeutic placebos for followers.
“Keep this tweet to compare later: (1)What happened or not in USA 30 years ago is not relevant (2)VP was once Senate Candidate is not relevant (3)If votes not uploaded immediately to server are not valid to elect one, then same votes not valid for anyone else (4)FCT is mere 37th,” Mr. Adebayo tweeted.
