Presidential Poll: Ned Nwoko Mocks Obidients, Dismisses Peter Obi’s Petition Against Tinubu

Delta North senator-elect, Ned Nwoko, has said the petition filed by presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi against the President-elect, Bola Tinubu may not see the light of the day after he (Tinubu) is inaugurated as president.

He said as it stands, there is no way the petition can stop the four-year term of Tinubu.

Recall that Obi and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar had earlier filed a petition to challenge Tinubu’s  victory in the February 25 presidential election.

Obi, who came third in the election, in his petition, alleged that the election was characterised by irregularities, praying that Tinubu’s victory be annulled.

In a reaction, Nwoko, however, stated that the Labour Party’s 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 the 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.”

The senator-elect maintained that the ruling APC would have suffered a severe defeat in the presidential poll if the oppositions had aligned.

He further pinned the blame on the Labour Party and ‘Obidients’, stressing that they were too self-absorbed to give room for logical reasoning.

The lawmaker stated, “It would have been a landslide victory for the opposition if  the Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party had worked together.
