Tanko Yakasai, a Nigerian politician and human rights
activist has told the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi,
that politics is not learnt in school but a continuous process.
Yakasai, a former Liaison Officer to former President Shehu
Shagari and a founding member of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, said this after
Peter Obi addressed the press in Abuja for the first time after the
announcement of the presidential election result by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday morning.
Obi told the press that he was heading to the court,
claiming he has the necessary proof to defend that he actually won the 2023
presidential election and that his mandate was stolen.
Speaking on Arise Television, Yakasai said that Obi must
learn to be patient, adding that the former Anambra State helmsman is just new
in politics.
“He was a banker and now a politician. He is contesting
election for the first time and it is in process. I plead with him to be
patient enough,” he said.
According to Yakasai: “You don’t learn politics in school.
You learn through [the] process and I’m sure he’ll be a good politician and be
successful if only he can endure. In this kind of situation, you see people
speaking from different perspectives.
“If somebody is not happy with the outcome of the election
you don’t expect him to praise the process but it’s another matter if you ask
another person. I’m not surprised.”
