Transcript
00:00 Today is a great day for Nigeria.
00:16 The Nigerian judiciary has proved itself to be the guardians for justice and fairness
00:23 against the sirens of deception.
00:29 It's a battle between the will of the people and the forces of misinformation and disinformation.
00:40 But democracy has finally triumphed.
00:44 We have the firm instruction of our clients to challenge the judgment on our people.
00:57 And the court has promised us that possibly by tomorrow we are going to get a copy of
01:03 the judgment.
01:04 Once we have it, we swing into action.
01:08 Let me say this.
01:09 Let me say this.
01:10 We have to be very, very careful in this country.
01:16 If we are not careful, electoral jurisprudence will virtually disappear.
01:25 This is a struggle that is not just for our clients, but for the constitution of this
01:32 country, for the rule of law, for democracy.
01:39 We were expecting an outcome that will improve, encourage the use of technology to enhance
01:51 election management, to enhance transparency, to enhance accountability, so that Nigerians
01:59 will believe in democracy.
02:01 Thank you.
