Obidients React To Ned Nwoko’s Jab, Dismissal Of Obi’s Petition Against Tinubu
Obidients, supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi have taken a swipe at Delta North senator-elect, Ned Nwoko over his take on Obi’s petition at the Presidential Election Tribunal against President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
GWG.ng reports that Nwoko had earlier said once the President-elect was sworn in, the petition filed against him at the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, might not see the light of day.
Nwoko said the Labour Party and Obi’s followers (Obidients) poor assessment of the situation and unrealistic expectations led to its defeat.
Nwoko, who spoke with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, said had the opposition parties teamed up, they would have trounced the ruling APC in the election, given the poor performance of the current APC administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Nwoko reiterated that an alliance government would have been the perfect opportunity for Obi to “save” Nigeria’s economy as he avowed in his campaigns.
He stated that it was now near impossible to stop Tinubu from becoming President despite the petitions signed against him, once inaugurated.
Nwoko said, “Once Tinubu is inaugurated as President, he takes charge of everything. He becomes the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; he orders them and uses them as he wishes. He appoints new Chief Justice upon recommendation by the judicial council.
“So, you see, it is almost impossible to stop him from completing his four years tenure. “Moving forward, the PDP and Labour Party have to come to terms and make next election more strategic. Natural alliance between both parties is the only way to save Nigeria from this inauspicious government.”
But in a swift reaction on Twitter, Obi’s supporters who are better known as ‘Obidients’ said the judiciary should be allowed to their work without interference. They said nobody gave Obi a chance when he declared to run for president and would have thought him to come this far.
