Tinubu forged Certificate: I’m already in Supreme Court to reclaim stolen mandate, LP welcome every other interest willing to join us in pursuit for justice – Obi replies Atiku

The Labour Party, which fielded former Anambra governor Peter Obi as presidential candidate, has said it welcomes the request to join the move for justice at the Supreme Court as put forward by Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Atiku on Thursday staged a world press conference during which he exposed alleged discrepancies he claimed to have found after receiving the academic records of President Bola Tinubu from Chicago State University.

The former vice president, who came second to Tinubu at the February 25 presidential poll, is currently at the Supreme Court challenging the President’s victory.

While delivering his speech at the press conference, Atiku urged Obi, who came third at the polls, and fourth-placed Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party to join him against Tinubu at the Supreme Court.

In response, the Labour Party issued a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.

The party said, “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.”
