Justice Salami Questions Legitimacy of Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Bid
Former Appeal Court President Justice Isa Ayo Salami says Peter Obi should not have been allowed to run in the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party banner. He attributes this to judicial incompetence and inadequate vetting, citing similar issues with Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf. Salami warned that some judges lack the necessary background and experience for high court duties. He blamed regional balancing and poor appointments for flawed verdicts at all levels, even in the Supreme Court. These remarks from a retired jurist are surprising given his own controversial rulings in Osun State. The criticism has prompted questions about his integrity and whether personal bias and parochial interests are at play in Nigerian politics.
