I will not back out on plan to follow legal root to reclaim people’s mandate — Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate for the 2023 election, has stated that he will not abandon his legal pursuit to reclaim the people's mandate. He made this statement at an LP stakeholders' meeting held in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
During the meeting, the former governor of Anambra State assured stakeholders that he would not give up his fight but would instead explore all legal options to reach a just conclusion.
On his Twitter page, Obi expressed his gratitude to the stakeholders for their support and highlighted the constructive nature of the meeting. He also stated that they had discussions on how to move the party forward.
In his words, “I reassured them of my readiness to go all the way, explore every available legal option to ensure that we get our mandate back. I appreciated all their support so far, as I assured them of mine.”
It is worth recalling that Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared the winner of the presidential election held on February 25, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi, who came third. Atiku and Obi have both claimed that their mandate was stolen and have opposed Tinubu's presidency.
