The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), United States, Professor Tai Balofin has made it known that the government of the United States was not in support of the protest organised by the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi at White House.
The party noted that protest could be carried out by anyone with approval in the United States and, so it was, with the supporters of Peter Obi.
In the statement made available to Theliberationnews, Balofin told Nigerians not to be perturbed by Obi’s desperate move to overturn the outcome of the “free and fair” election that produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of the country as he expressed his optimism that Peter Obi and his supporters will not succeed in “their mission to disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.”
“We wish to inform the public that a group of the Nigerian 2023 Presidential election losers are currently protesting at the park in front of the White House. It is important to note that the US government is not involved or in support of the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest.
“We also wish to state that this protest was sponsored by Peter Obi, who lost the election in Nigeria. It is our belief that the Nigerian Presidential election was free and fair, and Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu won the election. The majority of Nigerian voters gave him their mandate, and no propaganda, manipulation or tissue of lies can stop his inauguration,” the statement read in part.
“We have mobilized true Nigerians to come out in support of their mandate, and we believe that the protesters will not succeed in their mission to disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.
“We want to assure Nigerians that Nigeria will not secede, and it will remain united. We must work together to salvage it.
“We urge all Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful, as we believe that justice will prevail, and the mandate of the Nigerian people will be respected”, Balofin said.
