Peter Obi vs Tinubu: We will continue to pursue our stolen mandate – LP

The Labour Party (LP) has characterized the 2023 general elections as a battle for the liberation of Nigeria. Julius Abure, the embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party, made this assertion during the inauguration of caretaker committees for the 20 local governments in Lagos State.

Abure asserted that President Bola Tinubu lacks the capability to revitalize the country, citing the current state of affairs as evidence. He questioned the impact of power on governance, pointing out rising fuel prices and worsening insecurity since the assumption of power by the current administration. He contrasted this with the perceived solution-oriented approach of Peter Obi, suggesting that the ruling party’s age, energy, intellectual capacity, and education are not conducive to effective leadership.

Meanwhile, Abure expressed unwavering confidence that the Labour Party will triumph in the Presidential Election Petition Court. He hailed the party’s performance in the 2023 general election in Lagos State as a testament to its popularity and indicated that the LP’s involvement in the election has reshaped Nigeria’s political landscape.

“Since they took over power insecurity has worsened, suffering has increased. They don’t have the solution to our problems.

“It is only Peter Obi that has a solution to Nigeria’s problems. Age is not on their side, energy is not on their side, intellectual capacity is not on their side, and education is not on their side,” he said.

Meanwhile, Abure, has vowed that Labour Party would be victorious at the Presidential Election Petition Court.

Abure, said the performance of the party in Lagos State in the 2023 general election was a clear indication of the popularity of the party in the state.

He added that the LP’s participation in the 2023 general election has changed the political landscape in Nigeria.

Abure said, “I want to thank the people of Lagos for your resilience, for your fighting spirit, for fighting for change. You throw away tribalism and came back en-mass for true Nigeria; our labour shall not be in vain. The journey to liberate Nigeria has just started.

“We are ready to provide leadership and we’re ready to continue with the struggle for a new Nigeria.
“We will continue to pursue our mandate and I’m very sure that the judiciary will do the right thing.

“In the next couple of weeks the judgment will be out and we will all come back here to celebrate and form a government of the people.”
