Peter Obi speaks on accepting defeat, working with Tinubu government

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has distanced himself from the possibility of working in a unity government with the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking on Monday during an interview with Arise News, Obi said he is challenging the process through which Tinubu got into office so working together may not be an option at this particular point in time.

According to the former Anambra State Governor, it is very important that leaders get in through the right door and not by jumping through the window.

He made the submission while answering a question on whether he plans to work with President Tinubu’s administration to help with nation-building.

Responding to the question, Obi said, “We are at a point where we are challenging the process, these are part of what makes a nation. The process through which people come into office or assume or achieve anything is far more fundamental than what they do thereafter. It is important that people come through the right door and not just jump in through the window.

“As far as I am concerned, again, when it comes to issue of working, even opposition is part of building the process of having the proper government. What is important is that we challenge the process through which this government came into being, and that challenge is still there.”
