A member of the House of Representatives under the Labour Party, Amobi Ogah, has declared his total support for President Bola Tinubu, maintaining that election was over.
Ogah, while speaking in an interview recently, said it is time for governance; hence Nigerians should respect and support whoever God has given the mandate to lead them.
His words: ‘Once somebody has won an election, to be a good sportsman, you must give the person support.
‘For me, like I said earlier last week, that trended all over the world when I told people the election has come and gone. Now it is about governance. And whoever God has given that mandate to represent the people, you must respect that institution.

‘That is why I always say, whoever that is on that seat (president), give the person that supports until either court says otherwise or God says otherwise.’
Recall that last week, Ogar had expressed his surprise at the intelligence and preparedness of President Tinubu, after his encounter with him.
The LP politician made this known after a meeting Tinubu had with the opposing federal lawmakers-elect to resolve the National Assembly leadership tussle on Thursday.
The Eastern Updates had reported that a meeting was attended by opposition senators-elect and House of Representatives members-elect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), among other opposition parties at the State House in Abuja.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Amobi said, “Well, I can tell you that today is my best day, today I’m so happy that I’m an elected member seeing my President talking. In fact, I never knew that this man is so intelligent. I never knew that this man is so prepared to serve this country.
“I saw the love, I saw the character, I saw the charisma, the belief that Nigeria can be a better nation. So I’m so glad that the meeting we have today is going to take us a little bit to a more stabilised house. Now, even without talking to us again, we’ve agreed that we are going towards the government’s decision. Not minding, I’m of Labour Party.
“As at now, the party is not the issue; we’re talking about building the Nation, we’re talking about the unity of the nation.”
He went on to add that the country should be a priority and only God gives power to whosoever he wishes.
