Presidential candidate of the Labour Party(LP), Peter Obi has explained why he is not in the Labour party State Assembly and Governorship campaign trains across the country today.
Obi who gave the explanation in a statement he issued via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, said the reason for not joining them was because he went to the Court of Appeal with his lawyers.
“I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today. Initially, my trip was to take me to Nasarawa, Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Plateau, Borno, etc.
“However, following INEC’s refusal to allow our party to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the 25th February presidential elections, I am personally heading to the Court today with our lawyers.
He urged adherents of the Obidient movement in the various states to continue campaigning for LP candidates.
“As we pursue due process and defer to the rule of law, I urge all the OBIdients in the various states to continue campaigning for our candidates, namely, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour in Lagos, Chijoke Edeoga in Enugu, Patrick Dakum in Plateau, Alex Otti in Abia, Ken Pela in Delta, Ibrahim Mshelia in Borno, to name just a few.”
“I remain committed and will give more attention to our mission of retrieving our mandate. A new Nigeria is possible!
“It is also imperative that Obidients vote for candidates with Competence, Character, Capacity, and Compassion,” the tweet read.
