The Labour Party Leadership has urged the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to leave out its candidate, Peter Obi, from his feud with President Bola Tinubu, saying the former Anambra Governor is solely focused on reclaiming his ‘stolen mandate’ at the apex court.
The party, however, said it will welcome any interest that amplifies its quest for a nation, where true justice shall reign.
The response was a reaction to the call by the PDP candidate for 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.
In a statement in Abuja by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, the party appealed that they would appreciate if their candidate is allowed to concentrate on his case at the apex court.
The statement read, “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his 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.”
