Withdraw your petition, align with Tinubu for new Nigeria – Nnamani tells Peter Obi

By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Former Governor of Enugu state, Chimaroke Nnamani has asked the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi to withdraw his petition against the President elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and join him in the task of making a new nation.
In a statement he issued yesterday, Senator Nnamani urged Obi and his supporters to align with the ebullience and conviviality welcoming Tinubu’s victory to the office of the President of the greatest black nation on earth.
He said that Obi knows he has neither spread nor national appeal to win the presidential election, pointing out that what Obi is doing with the petition is “bad belle, petulance and demarketing.
According to him, “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 besmirch his reputation”.
Nnamani reiterated “he does not have near spread and national appeal. His petition is ego driven, joke carried too far. His attempt to highlight non electoral issues is trying to embarrass the President elect”.
To this end, he counseled that “Obi needs to come down from his high horse to allow sedate minds to negotiate on behalf of the Igbo and South East for safe landing to include our stake in the national palavar and share of the accruals of the commonwealth”.
According to Nnamani “we must join the main stream and participate in the making of a new Nigeria. We are not going any where. We de kampe and ready to bargain for our own share. It is a 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”.
