Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, Enugu State ex-Govenor has advised the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to withdraw his petition challenging the victory of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 presidential election.
Nnamani made the call yesterday, where he described the petition as “dead on arrival” and one borne out of ego.
His words: “His petition is dead on arrival. He does not have the spread or national appeal. His appeal to non-electoral matters is to demarket the President-elect and besmirch his reputation.
“His petition is ego-driven, a joke carried too far. His attempt to highlight non-electoral issues is trying to embarrass the President-elect.
“Obi needs to come down from his high horse to allow sedate minds to negotiate on behalf of the Igbo and the South-East for a safe landing to include our stake in the national palavar and share of the accruals of the commonwealth.
“We must join the mainstream and participate in making a new Nigeria. We are not going anywhere. We de kampe and ready to bargain for our own share. It is common knowledge that others are doing the same.
“Igbo has to confront reality now or be consigned to the backwoods of history. Time to align is now.”
