“Once you are in this politics, don’t lose hope. Don’t think that if you don’t win today, you will not win again. And once somebody has won an election, to be a good sportsman, you must give the person support.”
Ogah, who did not mention Obi’s name directly, said President Tinubu deserves to be respected and supported until the court delivers judgment against the February 25 presidential election that produced him as president.
He added:
“For me, like I said earlier last week, that trended all over the world when I told the people, the election has come and gone. Now it is about governance. And whoever God has given that mandate to represent the people, you must respect that institution
“And that is why I always say, whoever that is on that seat, give the person that support until either court says otherwise or God says otherwise.”
