I don't know why Peter OBI and his likes are just wasting their time and resources at the court. Tinubu remains the Best thing to happen to Nigeria at this time. No judge will ever dethrone Tinubu, know this and know Peace.
TInubu's presidency has come to stay. After TInubu's 8years, he will hand over to Shettima.

Immediately the results were announced by INEC and a return made, Peter Obi was told you and your likes to go to court. Now, he as obeyed that clarion call, you are now turning around to say he is wasting his time and resources at the court. I don't just understand
