Leave Peter Obi out of certificate forgery fight with President Tinubu, LP tells Atiku

The Labour Party, LP has asked the former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the last general election, Atiku Abubakar to leave its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi out of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate fight.

The leadership of Labour Party stated this after Atiku called on Peter Obi and Engr. Musa Kwankwaso who also contested for presidency on the platform of the New Nigeria Political Party, NNPP to join forces with him in exposing the dirty deal of President Tinubu.

In response, the LP said, its presidential candidate was concentrated on reclaiming its ‘stolen mandate’, hence, the former governor of Anambra State was not interested in the certificate forgery saga.

Reacting through a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, the party, however said it will welcome any interest that amplifies its quest for a nation where true justice shall reign, pleaded that Obi should be 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 stolen 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.
