The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has responded to an appeal by his counterpart, Atiku Abubakar.

Recall that the former vice-president and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku had during his news conference called on Obi and the presidential flag bearer of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join his crusade in exposing the alleged dirty secrets of the president.

Reacting to it, Obi in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, said the former Anambra governor is solely focused on reclaiming his ‘stolen mandate’ at the Supreme Court.

The statement read: “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 the leadership it truly deserves. Obi has pontificated on the need for leaders to be good role models and 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.”
