Aggrieved presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi said he would not accept the offer of becoming part of Tinubu Government of National Unity if called upon.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, March 16, 2023, Obi said he is bent on challenging election process and declaration.
“The first thing I want to see is that the process is right. The process through which you achieve anything is far more fundamental than what you do thereafter.
“Let us go back first, I am challenging the process and the declaration. Until we get it right, then we can talk about a government of national unity.
“Otherwise, we would go and sit down and say that those who stopped a train and kidnapped people can call us to discuss peace when they have people in captivity.
“Until things are done rightly, we will be encouraging what we don’t need to encourage.”
“Issues about the election will be sorted out in court. I will be shocked if this country goes on with that situation. It will then stand that it is a corporate criminalized country. We can’t allow it. We need to start unbundling this criminality.
“When people were talking about structure, it is this fraud and criminality that we witnessed that they were talking about, and we want to unbundle it for the sake of our children.”
Obi then stated in clear terms that he could lose faith in the judiciary if the court upholds Tinubu’s election.
“Until we get it right, until justice is done, we can’t talk about government of national unity. We should get things done rightly, and I am sure that the judiciary will do the right thing.”
