Obi Rejects Tinubu\u2019s victory As Gods Will<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi<\/strong><\/a>, on Monday replied to the recent comments by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the victory of Bola Tinubu<\/strong><\/a> at the just-concluded presidential election, should be accepted as the will of God.<\/p>\n

\"Obi<\/a><\/p>\n

Recall wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, last week described the victory of APC\u2019s Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential poll as the will of God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of our interests and diversity, we should all accept it as the will of Almighty God; we wouldn\u2019t have done it without his grace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a victory for all Nigerians. I am optimistic that the President-Elect will not betray the trust and confidence that Nigerians reposed in him. It is now time to move on and focus on the path of `a renewed hope\u2019 for Nigerian women and youths,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But reacting in a post-election interview with Arise Television, which was monitored by TRIBUNE ONLINE, Obi faulted the First Lady\u2019s comment saying God\u2019s wish is doing the right things and not vice-versa.<\/p>\n

When asked if he would accept Tinubu\u2019s victory as the wish of God as some religious leaders rightly claimed, he emphatically answered; \u201cWhat they are actually preaching is the problem of Nigeria. The problem of Nigeria is accepting wrongdoing and what is unacceptable. That is using God\u2019s name in vain. That is not what God is saying. God said do not use my name in vain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
