Although the Labour Party, LP, the presidential candidate was declared the second runner-up in the February 25 poll, Obi was arguably the most popular, despite running against veterans with age-long ambition.
The group also condemned the various onslaught of attacks on non-indigenous residents in Lagos State and other parts of Yoruba Land, while calling on the threat mongers to immediately desist from such a dastardly action.
Mr. Obi described the gesture as a reflection of the Labour Party’s responsiveness to the yearnings of Nigerians.
Mr. Obi in a message to supporters and Nigerians in the diaspora described the OBIdients as the arrowhead in the take-back Nigeria mission.
He said, “As a consequence of the events of the last few days I am constrained to say that, the Nigerian opposition, represented by the followers of Atiku Abubakar (Atikulators) and the followers of Peter Obi (Obidients), have lost control of their senses.”
The ruling by a three-man panel of the court, led by Justice Joseph Ikyegh, followed separate motions ex-parte filed by Abubakar and Obi before the court.
Keyamo made the call via a document entitled: Petition against Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed for making incendiary comments and claims capable of causing insurrection and rebellion against the Nigerian government and President-elect.
The document entitled ‘Petition against Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed for making incendiary comments and claims capable of causing insurrection and rebellion against the Nigerian government and President-elect.’
“I am excited about the issues raised in those Election Petitions. All the deceit & lies & disinformation & misinformation about otherwise very simple and clear issues are about to be busted by our Law Lords.” He further affirmed that…
Mr. Obi also alleged that Mr. Tinubu failed to win the majority of the lawful votes cast in the election, and just as he could not secure one-quarter of the lawful votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The Labour Party’s Legal Team was at the INEC HQ to discuss modalities for obtaining the documents.
Obi said this during his appearance on Arise TV Monday morning.
The legal tussle is about to kick off as the various parties including the ruling All Progressives Congress APC’s candidate and President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the People’s Democratic Party PDP’s Atiku, and Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party have hired several Senior Advocates of Nigeria SAN for the post-election battle.
“We, therefore, call on the general public to note the level of lawlessness and brazen disobedience to a lawful order of a court by an important statutory agency such as INEC, which is a well-calculated attempt to undermine and frustrate the presentation of the Petition by the Labour Party and its Presidential candidate before the tribunal in good time.
They further mentioned some notable demagogues including those that contested the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria as conspirators.
“God forbid that I become what I want to change, I can’t sacrifice competent for partisanship!” Aisha Yesufu said
The three-member panel of justice, however, dismissed the objections of the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the request.
Mr. Peter Obi who is challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, had accused INEC of not granting them access to materials used for the election despite a court order asking them to do so.
The development is coming in the wake of reports that the state chapter of the LP has collapsed its structure to endorse the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Sim Fubara.
“He, Keyamo first started with emotional blackmail, he said one who cannot handle defeat does not deserve victory. To this, he told Obi to play the “hero” like GEJ, and call Tinubu to congratulate him so that peace will reign.” Fr. Ugwu said.
