"I hope they will. I think there's reason to doubt that because the Supreme Court has had rulings that just did not make a lot of sense to most people.
"And there is reason to worry. But I'm hopeful and generally hopeful, I'm optimistic that they would do the right thing and that people will get justice."
Legit.ng earlier reported that Chimamanda was a subject of criticism when she wrote a letter to President Joe Biden of the United States calling out the North American nation and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, for being two-faced in their democratic judgement of the 2023 presidential polls in Nigeria.
Chimamanda, in her letter, criticised the US and the UK government for congratulating the president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his victory in the presidential polls that were allegedly fraudulent and filled with electoral malpractices and violence.

Similarly, Legit.ng reported that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Festus Keyamo, has criticised Chimamanda Adichie's letter to President Joe Biden of the United States.
Adichie, in her letter, highlighted the ills of the 2023 presidential polls while accusing the US of low standards for congratulating Bola Tinubu.
Meanwhile, Keyamo described Adichie's write-up as an exhibition of a pathetic colonial mentality.
