A faction of Labour Party (LP) loyal to its presidential candidate, Peter Obi has rejected the judgments of the Presidential Election Petitions Court in the party’s petitions challenging the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25, 2023 poll.
It added that it will make its next move known upon consultation with its lawyers after receiving the Certified True Copy of the judgments.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement issued Wednesday after the verdict of the Tribunal, said justice was not served in the petitions of the party against the APC and Tinubu.
He said: “The judgment of the court did not reflect the law and the desire of the people. Nigerians were witnesses to the electoral robbery that took place on February 25, 2023, which was globally condemned but the Tribunal in its wisdom refused to accept the obvious.
“What is at stake is democracy and we will not relent until the people will prevail.We salute the doggedness of our team of lawyers who fearlessly exposed the wrath in our system.
“We can only weep for democracy in Nigeria but we refuse to give up on Nigeria. Details of the party’s position will be presented after consultation with our lawyers after the Certified True Copy of the judgment is made available to us.”
