Peter Okoye and Peter Obi
Peter Okoye, one of the members of P-Square music duo, has asked the presidential candidate of Nigeria’s Labour Party, Peter Obi and members of his party to accept defeat in their country’s 2023 presidential election.
Obi came third in the election, according to the results announced by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu on Wednesday morning.
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had a total of 8,794,726 votes to defeat his closest rivals and candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Obi, who polled 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533 respectively.
There are rumours of plans for a massive protest across the country over the results, according to a report by Dailypost.
However, Peter said it was not necessary. Obi and his supporters must give peace a chance.
“Dear H.E @PeterObi your mandate can only be delayed, but cannot be denied. Please, my fellow obedient, be calm, we live to fight another day, so please embrace peace. Let’s all allow the right people of the law to handle the case. Thank you Nigerians,” he tweeted on Wednesday.
