Sen. Obanikoro warns anti-Tinubu protesters
A former Minister of State for Defence, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro says those protesting & kicking against the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on May 29 should not turn the country into a banana republic.
Obanikoro, also a former Ambassador to Ghana made the remark while speaking with journalists on the sideline of the 9th Ramadan Lecture of Anwar-Ul Islam College, Agege Old Students’ Association on Saturday in Lagos.
The lecture was titled, “Islamic Perspective of a Good Governance: Any Lesson for Nigeria?” He said: “They are daydreaming. There is no perfect election anywhere in the world. For anyone that is not satisfied, what is next is to go through the judiciary.
If you feel aggrieved, go to the court. We cannot turn Nigeria into a banana republic. Our system is not perfect; it is a work in progress.
We have to continue to work at it until we get to a situation that all of us will be comfortable with.
