(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has stated that the victory of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress is not the will of God.

Obi made this known on Monday when he appeared on Arise Television saying that God’s wish was for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a credible, free and fair election.

Responding to a question if he would accept Tinubu’s victory as the wish of God as some religious leaders claimed, 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?”
