Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election has turned down an invitation by his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar to join him in his ongoing battle against President Bola Tinubu.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Atiku had on Thursday during an International Press Conference in Abuja, urged Obi and Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian People’s Party, NNPP, to join his fight for justice.
Obi while responding to Atiku’s request in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, said he is currently busy seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate at the Supreme Court.
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 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.”
