The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has told his supporters not to despair in the quest for a new Nigeria as a result of last Wednesday’s judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court.
SaharaReporters reported that the PEPC dismissed Obi’s petition and that of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) petition challenging the declaration of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the validly elected President of the federal republic of Nigeria from the election.
Both Obi and Abubakar had rejected the over 700-page judgement of the Tribunal and directed their respective counsels to appeal the judgment at the Supreme Court.
How, in a message addressed to all Obidients and my supporters on Saturday morning titled: “DESPAIR IS NOT AN OPTION,” the former Anambra State Governor, assured them that the dream for a new Nigeria “has only been deferred for now but remains alive for all times”.
