He said:

“He can do like former President Goodluck Jonathan, who went on Twitter and congratulated former President Muhammadu Buhari before he became president in 2015. That hour, there was so much tension, but immediately Jonathan twitted, the tension came down.
“So, it would be better for Mr. Peter Obi to do that rather than wait till he loses in court because I see him losing the case.”

Prophet Ikuru, however, noted that Peter Obi’s political journey is not yet over as he still has a chance to a leadership position.
