“Peter Obi and I won this election, and if justice prevails in Nigeria, by God’s will, we will lead Nigeria and fix the country.”
Obi, while acknowledging the issues with Nigerian democracy and the importance of maintaining peace among Nigerians said the court will determine the legality of President Bola Tinubu’s inauguration.
“There are issues with Nigeria’s democracy, but we must live peacefully and focus on addressing the country’s challenges such as security, poverty, education, and other crucial matters that require our attention.”
