Chimaroke Nnamani, urges Obi- withdraw your petition against Tinubu

Chimaroke Nnamani, Former Enugu Governor, has advised Mr Peter Obi to withdraw his petition challenging the election of Sen. Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Election Tribunal.

Chimaroke Nnamani said this in a statement on Sunday, April 23rd, in Abuja, urging Obi and his supporters to accept the reality of the fact that Tinubu had emerged as the President-elect of Nigeria.

Chimaroke Nnamani said Peter Obi needed to come down from his high horse to allow negotiation on behalf of the Igbo nation and South-East for a stake in the nation and share of the accruals of the commonwealth.

Peter Obi knows he has neither spread nor national appeal to win the presidential election, what Obi is doing with the petition is trying to demarket Tinubu.

“His petition is dead on arrival, he does not have the spread or national appeal, his appeal to non-electoral matters is to demarket the President-elect and damage his reputation".

"Peter Obi's attempt to highlight non-electoral issues is trying to embarrass the president-elect," he said.

“He does not have near spread and national appeal, the petition is ego driven and a joke carried too far.

“We must join the mainstream and participate in the making of a new Nigeria.

"Igbo has to confront reality now or be consigned to the backwoods of history. Time to align is now," he said

“We are not going anywhere, and ready to bargain for our share, It is common knowledge that others are doing the same.

“Igbo has to confront reality now or be consigned to the backwoods of history. Time to align is now,” he said.
