THE Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the February 25, 2023 election, Peter OBI has accused United States of America of being bias by taking sides with the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU.
Obi was reacting to the viral news of the U.S. Secretary of States, Anthony J. Blinken’s call to TINUBU congratulating him and the preparedness of his country to support and collaborate with the incoming administration.
In a message personally signed by Obi available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, Obi said the United States is interfering with the internal affairs of Nigeria.
He added that the U.S. should allow the court to determine the case in court.

Full Text:
“There is still a lack of clarity on the basis of the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinken’s call to APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on 16th May 2023. The most fundamental tenet and core value of democracy is the rule of law.
Nigeria’s democracy is founded on these principles which the American people hold dear. Without the risk of interfering in Nigeria’s domestic affairs, the U.S.-Nigeria relationship should be guided by the core values of democracy.
Above all, Nigerians expect that the U.S. responses to our affairs should be based on mutual respect, shared ideals, aspirations and interests which ought to transcend the considerations of any individual.
Contextually, the willful manipulation and falsification of the will of Nigerians as freely expressed during the February 25 elections cannot be overlooked by the true friends and partners of Nigeria.
It is thus of overarching importance that a beacon of democracy like the United States should not respond to political developments in Nigeria in a manner that faintly suggests taking sides.
There is an evolving political and judicial process around the last presidential election in Nigeria. We expect the United States to await the full resolution of the ongoing judicial processes before tacitly conferring legitimacy on any of the contending parties.
The final determination of the true winner of the election can only be made by the relevant courts of law. More so, the issues in judicial contention imply far-reaching violations of both the Nigerian Electoral Law and the Nigerian Constitution.
