God Doesn’t Rig Elections - Peter Obi
Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the February 25 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has said the problem of Nigeria is accepting what is wrong and unacceptable as God’s wish for the country.
Obi said this on Monday, while featuring on ARISE Television’s Morning Show.
He was reacting to the position of some Nigerians that the outcome of this year’s presidential election, should be seen and accepted as the wish of God.
But Obi said God does not wish bad things for people and that this is what the Obidient Movement is trying to change.
“The problem of Nigeria is accepting what is unacceptable. That’s not God’s wish. God’s wish is when you do the right thing. Is it God’s wish that we remain poor as a country despite his abundant blessings on us?” Obi said.
On the possible partnership with the PDP, Obi said that there is nothing like that but that they are challenging a process that is wrong created by INEC to serve a particular purpose.

CBN: Emefiele Not Involved In Lagos State Politics
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, has no involvement in politics, especially as regards the March 18 governorship election in Lagos State, the bank stated on Monday in Abuja.
Its acting Director, Corporate Communications, Mr Isa AbdulMumin, made the declaration in reaction to a newspaper report entitled: “Emefiele launches fresh plot against the president-elect, Tinubu.’’
The newspaper reported that Emefiele gave money to a certain candidate in the Lagos State governorship election to spite the president-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu.
According to AbdulMumin, the story is completely false and malicious as Emefiele has never met nor spoken to the said governorship candidate.
“We wish to reiterate that the CBN governor does not take part in politics, and therefore, urge anyone with contrary information to provide them,’’ he stated.
He urged politicians to allow the CBN and its management to concentrate on the statutory mandate of the bank. (NAN)
