The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has rejected the invitation by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for Obi to join him to get “justice.”
Recall that MUK TV reported that Atiku called on Obi and Kwankwaso, two presidential candidates of the LP and NNPP, respectively, to join forces with him and fight for justice following the controversies that surround President Bola Tinubu’s academic records, as released by the Chicago State University.
But the former Anambra state governor, in a statement by Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, showed no interest in collaborating with Atiku but said he was at the Supreme Court to “reclaim his mandate.”
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 the 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 honor 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.”
