Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the prominent Igbo socio-cultural group, expressed unease regarding the recent presidential election, noting that the introduction of electronic vote transmission was anticipated to improve the electoral process, yet the "result left many Nigerians disheartened and demoralized."

As Nigerians await the judgment from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), Ohanaeze urged citizens to brace themselves for potential surprises in the verdict. The organization underscored the necessity of managing expectations and maintaining resilience in the face of potential outcomes that might not align with public desires.

Highlighting the potential impact of the tribunal's decision on national sentiment and stability, Ohanaeze emphasized the importance of a balanced perspective. It cautioned that unmet high expectations could lead to disillusionment and unrest.

In light of the disappointment following the 2023 presidential election, Ohanaeze released this statement to promote realistic expectations and resilience, fostering a stable and peaceful environment after the court's ruling.
