Mr Onanuga advised Mr Obi to find a worthwhile vocation to engage his time having been rejected by Nigerians at the poll

A press statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy on Monday, noted that Mr Obi was rejected at the polls because “he posed present and future danger to the peace, progress and stability of the country.”

Speaking at the press conference on Monday, Mr Obi, who came third in the election, accused the Supreme Court and INEC of “shifting the goalposts” as the umpire of the election. At the press conference where he tried, in vain, to gaslight Nigerians with false claims and innuendos, Mr. Obi contradicted himself. Here was a beneficiary of judicial pronouncements in the past now castigating the same court because its judgment did not go his way.

Having admitted that the Supreme Court ruling brought an end to litigation and any challenge to the bona-fide of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the validly elected leader of Nigeria and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Obi should have congratulated President Tinubu for his victory and pledge his support, in the spirit of statesmanship.
