Adighije, who is also the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, gave the advice in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday.
He said that Obi should show sportsmanship by calling the declared winner of the election and congratulate him.
According to
him, what Obi needs now to endear himself more in the hearts of the people of
Nigeria is that act that would not snowball into destruction of lives and
property.
Adighije, who is
also the Chairman of the APC stakeholders in Abia, said the LP presidential
candidate should think about his region, the South East, and Nigeria in taking
any decision.
He expressed
concern that Obi’s action would go along way to determine where the South East
would be in the political equation of Nigeria.
He commended Obi
for positioning the Igbos strongly in the political discuss in the country,
saying “l want to congratulate the leader of my party, the President-Elect,
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. l also will use this opportunity to congratulate Mr.
Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, for his
forthrightness and resilience in the election.
“I will appeal
that he congratulates the winner of the Presidential poll as l believe
sincerely that such a good gesture would endear him more to the hearts of the
Obidient Movement and Nigeria at large.
“He should know
that any decision that he takes in this circumstance has a high propensity to
affect Nigerians, especially the South Easterners positively or
negatively,” he said.
