The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has rejected the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Court describing it as against justice.
Obi acknowledged the Tribunal’s adherence to the statutory time frame and expressed respect for the court’s views and rulings but disagreed with the judgment’s rationale and final conclusions.
He announced his intention, in his capacity as a presidential candidate and on behalf of the Labour Party, to immediately challenge the judgment through the appellate process, as permitted by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He urged Nigerians to maintain their focus, steadfastness, and commitment to peaceful processes while emphasising the importance of adhering to the rule of law.
