The Labour Party, LP, has responded to the invitation extended to Peter Obi, its presidential candidate by Atiku Abubakar where he urged the LP candidate to join him in the fight to unseat president Bola Tinubu.
AFRIPOST recalls that the former vice president had during an International Press Conference in Abuja on Thursday, charged Obi and Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian People’s Party, NNPP, to team up with him to address the ongoing certificate controversy of the Nigerian president.
Atiku had in the address accused Tinubu of allegedly forging his academic document submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
But a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh said Obi is currently busy seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate at the Supreme Court and would rather welcome anyone wishing to join him in an effort to reclaim his mandate and sanitize democracy in the country.
The statement reads, “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.
“He has been in the vanguard of ensuring a just nation where justice must be the watchword, and he will not stop until Nigeria achieves a leadership it truly deserves.
“Obi has pontificated severally on the need for leaders to be good role models and to live a life worthy of emulation. This he has done by publicly putting his credentials in the open for verification. Nigeria will get better when men of integrity and honour drive the affairs of the nation.
“We therefore welcome every other interest willing to join us in our pursuit of a nation where justice shall reign.”
