Once somebody has won an election, you must give the person support – Labour Party House of Reps member, Amobi Ogah

Amobi Ogah, a member of the Labour Party in the House of Representatives, emphasized the role of divine intervention in granting power and stressed the importance of displaying good sportsmanship among politicians. According to him, once an individual emerges victorious in an election, it is crucial for politicians to demonstrate support for the winner.

During a recent interview with Channels TV, Ogah expressed his belief that politicians should stand behind the elected candidate until either the court or divine intervention indicates otherwise. He emphasized that Nigeria’s well-being surpasses the interests of any individual, urging people to prioritize the nation’s welfare above all else.

‘’Once you are in politics, don’t lose hope. Don’t think that if you don’t win today, you will not win again. Once someone has won an election, to be a good sportsperson, you must give the person support. Like I said last week that trended all over the world when I told the people ‘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 because today why I representing you is because of that institution that brought me to this place. 

That is why I always say whoever that is in that seat, give the person that support until either court or God says otherwise. We must put Nigeria first. Nigeria is more important than anybody. It is only God that gives power” he said
