A respected peaceful gentleman but I want President Goodluck Jonathan to be active in politics like President Barack Obama

He's not a do or die politician
@Web3Analyst01
Yeah. He did not only congratulated his opponent but also, he didn’t drag him to court✍
@GodwinsNduka1
Because the 2015 election was free and fair. I will be disappointed if PO or Atiku congratulates Tinubu.
I was in Rivers State on the day of the presidential election. I will be disappointed if PO congratulate someone who stole his votes in a state he clearly won.
@Iselema
Lol! Senator all we need now is to strengthen our electoral law further, so that people will not be going to court after elections
@walecoker65
People actually took his simplicity then for cowardness
Tinubu reacts to Peter Obi’s attack on Supreme Court
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that President Bola Tinubu urged Peter Obi to get himself another vocation after losing out at the 2023 general election.
Tinubu stated this following Obi’s world press conference where he attacked the Supreme Court for affirming the election of the President.
Nigerians allegedly rejected Obi because he is dangerous to the peace, progress and stability of the country.
'How Supreme Court allegedly abandoned its responsibility', Obi alleges
Obi alleged that the Supreme Court "abandoned its responsibility as a court of law and policy" in its verdict upholding President Bola Tinubu's electoral victory.
He said the apex court's decision to affirm President Tinubu's election "contradicts the overwhelming evidence of election rigging, false claim of technical glitch, and substantial non-compliance with rules set by INEC".
