The Deputy Apex leader of Ndigbo in Lagos, Chief Jude Emeka Idimogu, on Friday appealed to opposition parties to allow President Bola Tinubu breathe and concentrate on governance in the interest of the masses.

Idimogu, the immediate past two-term lawmaker, who represented Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen in Lagos.

The former lawmaker, said that after the verdict of the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, opposition parties and their candidates needed to rally round the President in the interest of the nation.

According to him, politicians against the victory of Tinubu at the Feb. 25 Presidential election and at the court must avoid actions capable of dragging the country’s name in the mud.

The lawmaker, reacting to the certificate saga levelled against President Tinubu by PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, described such allegation as politics taken too far and capable of destroying the image of the country.

“All I want to tell good Nigerians is to understand that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, did not and will never forge any certificate, and whatever he submitted to INEC is clean and true.

“We want to appeal to Nigerians to calm down and not allow themselves to be deceived by those dragging Nigeria’s name in the mud.

“We want the opposition to allow our President, who God gave to us to breathe. Please allow him to breathe for the sake of the masses,” Idimogu said.

Stating that the Chicago State University never said that the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC was fake or forged, the lawmaker said that narratives by PDP was an embarrassment to the nation.

He added, “They (opposition) should desist from trying to tarnish the image of Nigeria and that of the President Bola Tinubu.”

According to him, Tinubu is a God-sent President to Nigeria and the best the nation can ever have.

He said that the only thing Nigerians should do was to give the President total and maximum support for the president to lead the nation out of her challenges.

“There is nothing anyone can do right now because God has ordained him to be President, and he emerged in spite of all visible hurdles.

“God has crowned him as President, we should stop all pettiness.

“No matter what the detractors are doing, they cannot pull Tinubu down because God and Nigerians are behind him and he is a man of grace.

“The opposition should note this and wait for another election period.

“The matter of certificate is a pre-election matter and cannot make any opposition presidential candidate come through the back door,” Idimogu said.

The lawmaker described those behind Tinubu’s certificate issues, as interlopers, who would not achieve anything in the journey they have embarked upon.

“We know that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will overcome as always and he has passed such hurdles several times,” he added.

Glad to see that prominent Igbos have started saying the truth concerning the unnecessary pull-him-down-at-all-Cost Cancerous Envy that has been eaten some up from within.

Glad to know this.

It's their fellow ibos that will curse them out. Gladly, Tinubu is not distracted.

RUBBISH!

Dear igbos on nairaland, I challenge you to mention any notable igbo that had ever challenged tinubu's corruption and forgery. The major people at the forefront of the battle are mainly yorubas, the same yorubas you claim are cowards.

Looks like igbo leaders are the real cowards

Nlfbmod, Seun, Lalasticlala

They should continue with their fishing expedition

They should not let the president breathe please but when everything is settled by the supreme Court next month, they should not cry witch hunting when the president starts showing them what hes made of.

They should keep enjoying the media frenzy for now, they will meet their Waterloo soon.

Atiku was lamenting just yesterday how former president buhari revoked his Intel license on national TV, this time, he will be severely dealt with and made to cough out all he's stolen.

The other thief who is also the poster boy for the Pandora papers will regret crying on national TV when all is done and dusted next month.

He added, “They (opposition) should desist from trying to tarnish the image of Nigeria and that of the President Bola Tinubu.”

According to him, Tinubu is a God-sent President to Nigeria and the best the nation can ever have.

A good leader should be able to multitask.

Rubbish

Justice must prevail.

It would be noted in History that #LetTinubuBreathe actually started on NairaLand here and it is already going viral. Anyone that doesn't know how powerful Nairaland is should know today. Many Topics that was started on Nairaland later metamorphosized to full-blown Trending Discussions on Twitter, Facebook, and even on TV and Radio Stations.
Those that have not read the Nairaland Post #LetTinubuBreathe that has now started making Nigerians to speak up against the Internet intimidation and Campaign of Calumny that was perpetrated against President Bola Tinubu should Read: https://www.nairaland.com/7866920/let-tinubu-breathe-allow-tinubu
