Labour Party Now in Opposition, Says Peter Obi

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Monday officially accepted the judgement of the Supreme Court on Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.

He noted that his party, the LP, and the Obidient family have effectively accepted their new role as opposition.

Obi, who expressed disappointment in the judgment of the Supreme Court that affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s victory, vowed that they would take their message of a new Nigeria to the people in their homes, schools, and motor parks among other places.

The former Anambra governor delivered his message of hope at a world press conference held at his campaign headquarters in Abuja.

He said, “Going forward, we in the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement are now effectively in opposition. We are glad that the nation has heard us loud and clear. We shall now expand the confines of our message of hope to the rest of the country. We shall meet the people in the places where they feel pain and answer their needs for hope. At marketplaces, motor parks, town halls, board rooms, and university and college campuses, we all carry and deliver the message of a new Nigeria.

“As stakeholders and elected Labour Party officials, we shall remain loyal to our manifesto. We will continue to canvas for good governance and focus on issues that promote national interest, unity, and cohesion. We will continue to give primacy to our Constitution, the rule of law, and the protection of ordered liberties. We will offer the checks and balances required in a functional democracy and vie robustly in forthcoming elections to elect those who share our vision of a new Nigeria.
