Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior Pastor and Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, has responded to Peter Obi’s court petition challenging Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election.
Tinubu was declared the victor of the February 25th presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) last week.
According to INEC, Tinubu defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Obi of the Labour Party to win the election.

Soon after INEC’s announcement, Obi and Atiku filed a lawsuit, alleging rigging in the presidential election.
The pair claimed to have won the hotly contested poll.
According to Newsmen, a video has recently leaked on the internet depicting Apostle Suleman urging candidates to abandon legal action in order to retrieve their stolen mandate.
In response to the viral video, Apostle Suleman stated that the video spreading on social media was part of his message in 2015 and 2019, emphasizing that it is no longer relevant.
In a tweet, Apostle Suleman expressed his continued support for the former Anambra State Governor, encouraging the public to overlook the video because it is not meant at Obi.

“I was just told that a video where I told people after the 2015 or 2019 election to forget about the courts is being circulated like I said it recently. Lol. I am solidly behind Peter Obi going to court. I have never said otherwise in secret or public, disregard,” the cleric wrote on Twitter.
