The standard-bearer of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, yesterday replied to the recent comments by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the victory of Bola Tinubu at the just-concluded presidential election, should be accepted as the will of God.
Recall that wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, last week described the victory of APC’s Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential poll as the will of God.
But reacting in a post-election interview with Arise Television, Obi faulted the First Lady’s comment saying God’s wish is doing the right things and not vice-versa.
When asked if he would accept Tinubu’s victory as the wish of God as some religious leaders rightly claimed, he responded that preaching of some men of God is the problem of Nigeria.
He said that the problem of Nigeria is accepting wrongdoings.
The electoral commission, INEC, had declared Bola Tinubu, as the winner of the Saturday, February 25 presidential election.
Tinubu defeated 17 other candidates who took part in the election. He scored a total of 8,794,726 votes, the highest of all the candidates, thus meeting the first constitutional requirement to be declared the winner.
He also scored over 25 percent of the votes cast in 30 states, more than the 24 states constitutionally required.
However, Peter Obi of LP and his PDP counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, have since taken the case to the Presidential Tribunal challenging the process that declared Tinubu as the winner of the poll
