The Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, LP, would go to court to regain his stolen mandate.
In the presidential election of 2023, Obi finished third behind winner Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar.
In response to the election results, Obi had emphasized that he had won the vote and disputed the outcome.
At the electoral tribunal, he threatened to challenge Tinubu’s victory.
Ohanaeze’s National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, responded by stating that the leading Igbo group is ready to support Obi in his fight to restore his position to the fullest extent possible.
Speaking with journalists yesterday, Ogbonnia stressed that Nigerians believe in Obi.
According to Ogbonnia: “I have confidence in that because when he was deprived of his victory sometime in Anambra State, he struggled and assured people that he would recover it. Later on, he recovered that mandate. The same way, it is like history repeating itself.
“Anybody who has known Peter Obi will know that he is always sure of whatever he is doing. He is conscious of whatever position or decision he is taking.
“He is not a man of frivolities or a man who takes decisions anyhow. He takes a thorough review of his decisions before making it public.”
