Justice Salami claims Peter Obi ineligible for 2023 presidency
Former Appeal Court President Justice Isa Salami asserts Peter Obi was constitutionally ineligible to contest the 2023 presidential election. Salami argues Obi lost the PDP primary but LP submitted its candidate list to INEC, violating the Constitution's prohibition against independent candidacies. He cites Habba Yusuf's PDP defection to APC as precedent, noting Obi's NNDP membership card issuance despite his absence from the party register. Salami criticizes the Supreme Court for upholding these decisions despite lower courts' objections, highlighting judicial incompetence as the core issue.
