Idimogu, the former two-term lawmaker who represented Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, made this appeal during an interview with Newsmen in Lagos.
He noted that after the verdict of the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, opposition parties and their candidates should come together to support the President in the interest of the nation. In his view, politicians who contested Tinubu's victory in the February 25 Presidential election and at the court should refrain from actions that could harm the country's reputation.
Addressing the certificate controversy raised against President Tinubu by PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former lawmaker described such allegations as taking politics to an extreme, which could potentially damage the country's image.
He said, “All I want to tell good Nigerians is to understand that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, did not and will never forge any certificate, and whatever he submitted to INEC is clean and true.
“We want to appeal to Nigerians to calm down and not allow themselves to be deceived by those dragging Nigeria’s name in the mud.
“We want the opposition to allow our President, who God gave to us to breathe. Please allow him to breathe for the sake of the masses,” Idimogu said.
Stating that the Chicago State University never said that the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC was fake or forged, the lawmaker said that narratives by PDP was an embarrassment to the nation.
He added, ” They (opposition) should desist from trying to tarnish the image of Nigeria and that of the President Bola Tinubu.”
According to him, Tinubu is a God-sent President to Nigeria and the best the nation can ever have.
