The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has called on Peter Obi not to contest the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, which validated the victory of President Bola Tinubu, as there’s no hope for him at Supreme Court.

Umahi also urged the political bigwigs in the South-East geopolitical zone to beat the drum of support for Tinubu’s administration for their own interests.

In his words, “I advised him (Obi) not to go to appeal. I am not a lawyer. My son here is a lawyer. He has interpreted the judgement, and he has left no hope for any appeal.

“Let the South East come together and support the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration; he made us the number one minister, even when we didn’t vote very well for him.

“Tinubu will be a divine President. Before now, God told me that Tinubu will be Nigeria’s President. I prayed, and God answered. It was tough here in the South East, but through the grace of God, we made it.”
