The LP candidate, in his appeal, maintained that the Presidential Election Petition Court erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential poll that was held on February 25.

Reacting, Omokri, who is one of the strongest critics of Obi wrote on his verified X handle:

“I congratulate Peter Obi for filing his appeal at the Supreme Court, and I assure him that the same fate awaits him at the apex court.
