Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, says some of the people blackmailing the judiciary on the presidential election petitions are 'first time voters'.

Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, says some of the people blackmailing the judiciary on the presidential election petitions are “first time voters”.

The Allied Peoples Movement , Peter Obi of the Labour Party , and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party have approached the tribunal to challenge Tinubu’s victory.Over the past few months, conversations on the presidential election tribunal have been regarded as a threat to the judiciary in certain quarters.

The human rights lawyer queried the reasons behind the “cheap blackmail” of the judiciary since parties can still approach the supreme court after the tribunal’s verdict on Wednesday.“We have been having election petitions since the colonial era, but none has attracted such level of blackmail and intimidation of the judiciary,” he said.
