Idimogu Calls Opposition Party to Stop Pettiness and Support Tinubu

The opposition parties have been called to allow President Bola Tinubu to breathe and concentrate on governance in the interest of the masses.

The call was made on Friday by the Deputy Apex leader of Ndigbo in Lagos APC, Jude Idimogu.

The former lawmaker, who represented Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, noted that following the verdict of the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, opposition parties and their candidates needed to rally around the President in the interest of the nation.

He asserts that politicians who were opposed to Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election and the court should refrain from doing any acts that would damage their nation’s reputation.

In response to the certificate controversy, the legislator said that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential nominee, has made allegations against President Tinubu that could damage the nation’s reputation.

“All I want to tell good Nigerians is to understand that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, did not and will never forge any certificate, and whatever he submitted to INEC is clean and true.

“We want to appeal to Nigerians to calm down and not allow themselves to be deceived by those dragging Nigeria’s name in the mud.

“We want the opposition to allow our President, who God gave to us to breathe. Please allow him to breathe for the sake of the masses,” Idimogu said.

The senator asserted that the Chicago State University never stated that the certificate Tinubu provided to INEC was a forgery or false and claimed that PDP narratives were embarrassing to the country.

He added, ” They (the opposition) should desist from trying to tarnish the image of Nigeria and that of President Bola Tinubu.”

“There is nothing anyone can do right now because God has ordained him to be President, and he emerged despite all visible hurdles.

“God has crowned him as President, we should stop all pettiness.

“No matter what the detractors are doing, they cannot pull Tinubu down because God and Nigerians are behind him and he is a man of grace.

“The opposition should note this and wait for another election period.

“The matter of certificate is a pre-election matter and cannot make any opposition presidential candidate come through the back door,” Idimogu said.
