Peter Obi’s Recent Statement Is Desperate – FG

The Federal Government has come out to warn the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi against inciting people to violence over the outcome of the presidential election.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is very wrong for Obi to seek redress in court over the outcome of the polls, and then try to incite people to violence at the same time.

He added that Obi’s recent statement is that of a desperate person, and he is not the democrat that he claims to be.

His words, “Obi and his vice, Datti Ahmed, cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress is sworn in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria. This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing.”

“Obi’s statement is that of a desperate person, he is not the democrat that he claimed to be.”

“A democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins the election.”

“The constitution has stringent criteria for anybody who wants to be president of the country.”

“Not only must he have the plurality of vote cast in an election, he must also have scored one-quarter of votes cast in at least 25 states.”

“Only the president-elect met the criteria by scoring 8.79 million votes and having one-quarter of all the votes cast in 29 states of the federation.”
