As the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is sworn in today amidst petitions filed by opposition parties and their candidates challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election, an aide of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, on Saturday, said it will be ‘extremely weird and unreasonable’ of his principal to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

Tai Obasi disclosed that Peter Obi will not attend the event while also dissociating his boss from the alleged plot to stage a massive protest to register his and the obedients’ movement displeasure over the Federal Government’s insistence on Tinubu’s inauguration.

“My principal is a very humble and reasonable man who is always looking for peace and unity of the country at all costs. But it will be extremely weird for him to attend the ceremony of a man whose election victory he is challenging in court.”

Obasi continued, “He is Obi and his followers are Obidient. I agree that on some occasions, they may act on their own, no matter how you tell them to keep calm. These guys are angry. They are not happy about how everything was manipulated against Obi who has given them so much hope. They followed him and waited for him all the way.”

Responding to the report about a planned protest, he said, “I don’t know where that report is coming from. We don’t know anything about it or who is behind the proposed protest. But I can categorically tell you that my principal is not aware of anything,” he said.
