Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Idimogu, the most recent two-term member and representative of Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, made the request.

‘’Politicians that oppose Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election and in the judiciary should refrain from doing any acts that could bring discredit to their nation,” he claims.

“All I want good Nigerians to know is that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not fabricate any certificates and never would, and everything he presented to INEC is true and clean.

“We want to make a plea to Nigerians to remain calm and not allow themselves to be duped by those trying to tarnish Nigeria’s reputation.

“Our President, whom God bestowed to us, deserves the opposition’s permission to breathe. For the benefit of the crowd, kindly let him breathe,” Idimogu pleaded.

The former lawmaker asserted that the Chicago State University never stated that the certificate Tinubu provided to INEC was a forgery or false and claimed that PDP narratives were embarrassing to the country.

“They (opposition) should stop trying,” he continued.

Idimogu said that the only thing Nigerians should do is to give the President total and maximum support for the president to lead the nation out of her challenges.

“There is nothing anyone can do right now because God has ordained him to be President, and he emerged in spite of all visible hurdles,” he said.

“God has crowned him as President, we should stop all pettiness.

“No matter what the detractors are doing, they cannot pull Tinubu down because God and Nigerians are behind him and he is a man of grace.

“The opposition should note this and wait for another election period.

“The matter of certificate is a pre-election matter and cannot make any opposition presidential candidate come through the back door.”
