Peter Obi, The Presidential Candidate Of The Labour Party Vows To Seek Redress In Court

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi addressed a press conference in Abuja today (Thursday). 

Extracts below;

Obi said, “We will explore all the legal and peaceful means to recliam our mandate. We won the election. Datti and I are committed to mandate of Nigerians.”

"The election that we just witnessed had been conducted and the results announced as programmed. It is a clear deviation from electoral rules and guidelines contrary to what we were promised.

“This election did not meet the minimum standard expected of a free, fair, transparent and credible election. It will go down as one of the most controversial elections ever conducted in Nigeria.

“The good and hardworking people of Nigeria have again been robbed by our supposed leaders whom they trusted,” he said.

“Let me reassure the good people of Nigeria that we will explore all legal and peaceful options to reclaim our mandate. We won the election and I will prove it to Nigerians,” Obi vowed.

"It is my belief that if you must answer your excellency, the process through which you arrive at to office must be excellent.

"We must now require that we do the right thing in order to generate the right confidence and moral authority to lead. As you know, the structure of society begins and gradually retrogresses when we act rascally and deliberately in the manipulation of rule of law and suppression of the will of the people.

"On this issue (presidential election) I am challenging the process. I will challenge this rascality for the future of the country.

“The court exists for this and they have asked me to go to court and I will be going to court,” the former governor said.

He said, “Please, be assured that this is not the end but the beginning of a journey for the birth of a new Nigeria.

“Datti and I remain absolutely undaunted and deeply committed to the project of a new Nigeria that will be built on honesty, transparency, fairness, justice, and equity. All the above starts with the process.

He added, “We have to go through this darkness. The structure of criminality can’t go out overnight.

“All we need to show is commitment and resilience. I will be at the forefront and will work through this darkness until daybreak,” Obi vowed.

Blac Chyna Drags Tyga's Mum Into Child Custody Battle

The service was done via a process server since Blac Chyna couldn’t find her ex to deliver the documents accordingly.

Last month, Blac Chyna filed a petition in the Los An...
