PEPT: Tinubu Minister Tells Peter Obi Why He Should Not Appeal Judgement
Senator Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works, has urged Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for president in the general election of 2023, not to consider appealing the decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), which recognized President Bola Tinubu’s victory, because Obi will not prevail.
On Saturday, September 9, Umahi advised Obi not to file an appeal against the tribunal decision, claiming that the Supreme Court would likewise dismiss his appeal while addressing with reporters in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State.
“Throughout the campaign period and even now, I keep saying it boldly that God told me that Tinubu will be President of Nigeria. It was tough here in South East but I am very happy that Tinubu eventually became the President of this country. Like I said in Imo State, God has a purpose for everybody. There was John the Baptist, there was Christ and there is still Christ. Peter Obi has served the purpose of John the Baptist for the Divine President Bola Tinubu Ahmed, that’s all that God brought him to do this time around.
“So, I advise him not to go to any court of appeal. I am not a Lawyer but the Governor of Ebonyi State is a Lawyer and he has interpreted the judgment and it has left no hope for any appeal. Those judges are spirits. They went into everything and dissected them just like getting a coconut and breaking it. You will get the water and everything and get the nut.
“So, I advise him not to go to appeal, he is not even 2nd, he came 3rd at the election. he is our brother. Let South Eastern people come together to support President Tinubu. He made us the number one Minister even when we didn’t vote very well for him.
But we voted even very well more than other regions because through the calling of John the Baptist, we were able to bring down PDP and that is a victory for APC”.
