Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, has expressed faith in the judiciary to deliver justice in the case challenging the outcome of the February 25 election.
Obi finished third in the election results
announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The former Anambra State Governor, on the
other hand, rejected the results and went to court to challenge and reclaim his
‘stolen mandate.’
On Tuesday, Obi and the Labour Party called
their first witness in court against the election winner, President Bola
Tinubu.
Shortly after the court session, Obi
reiterated his commitment to using all legal means to resolve the electoral
process in his favor through the courts.
He also urged his supporters to keep the
peace and remain dedicated to the vision of a new Nigeria.
He wrote:
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal
(PEPT) resumed sitting today. Datti Baba-Ahmed and I were present in court,
with members of LP and the Obidients family.
I have maintained that diligently following
the rule of law in our quest to resolve the electoral impasse remains
sacrosanct. The judiciary is part of our democratic process and a critical
governance tool which must be held in high esteem.
As we journey through the judicial process, I
urge all Nigerians to remain committed to the vision of a New Nigeria. Nigeria
remains our common patrimony and in unity, we must sacrifice to make it better.
-PO.
