…says ‘I’m in court to ‘reclaim my mandate’
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 general elections, Peter Obi, has shunned Thursday’s invitation by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar to join him to fight for “justice.”
Obi, in a statement by Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said the former Anambra governor was at the Supreme Court to “reclaim his mandate.”
The statement read, “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.”
