God’s Wish is not to Conduct Election Wrongly-Peter Obi

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi in an interview with Arise Television has said it’s not the will of God to steal or conduct the wrong election.

According to him, God’s wish was for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a credible, free and fair election.

Obi said, “What they are actually preaching is the problem of Nigeria. The problem of Nigeria is accepting wrongdoing and what is unacceptable.

“That is using God’s name in vain. That is not what God is saying. God said do not use my name in vain.

“So, what they are saying is not God’s wish, it is not God’s plan for Nigeria.

“Pastors are preaching the problem of Nigeria; it’s not God’s wish for Nigeria. Is it God’s wish that we don’t have electricity, a mortality rate?

“We have clear laws about the conduct of the election, it’s not God’s wish that we do the wrong thing. We want God’s wish to be truly God’s wish.

“Is it God’s wish that we steal or conduct the wrong election?”

Recall that,  Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, had described Tinubu’s victory as the will of God following the February 25th presidential election

She added that, “Regardless of our interests and diversity, we should all accept it as the will of Almighty God; we wouldn’t have done it without his grace.”

The Presidential candidate appealed to Nigerians not to accept the outcome of a rigged election as the will of God.

The former Anambra state Governor said it was disheartening that after 63 years as a nation, Nigeria  remained unable to conduct an election which meets the minimum acceptable standard.

He described the February 25 Presidential election as the worst in Nigeria’s history considering that the Electoral Law of 2022 was enacted to ensure free, fair and credible elections.

Obi said that while he is pursuing his mandate through legal and peaceful means, it’s disheartening that rule of law is being treated with levity by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC which is a public institution maintained by taxpayer’s money.
