Obi Request Calms From His Obidient Supporters As He Heads To Court To Reclaim Stolen Mandate
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has persisted in urging his followers to maintain composure while he fights to retrieve the mandate that was granted to him.
When speaking to LP candidates in Anambra State on Friday, Obi said he was on a thank-you tour and that those who supported him in the election on February 25 had chosen hope because he has the skills necessary to turn the country around.
He congratulated each and every new party representative to the National Assembly.
The former Anambra governor urged the candidates in the state assembly election to go to the polls in an organised manner, while asking the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce the outstanding Ogbaru Federal Constituency election result.
Obi was accompanied on the tour by members of the party’s national leadership and Anambra State executive members, as well as several National Assembly members-elect and state assembly candidates.
The meeting followed a visit to Enugu to commiserate with the family of the late Oyibo Chukwu, Enugu-East LP senatorial candidate, and Abia State.
In a tweet on Friday evening, Obi said he shared “great moments” with all the LP candidates in Anambra State at the federal and state levels.
Yesterday, I shared great moments with all the candidates of our great party, LP, in Anambra State, both at the Federal and State level. I reminded them that at the centre of our campaign will be a strong desire for service to the people and a firm commitment to nation building. pic.twitter.com/U5VIjG0oSC

“We must build a better nation for ourselves and for the future generations. Once again, I congratulated our candidates who won various elective posts at the Federal Level, and encouraged those contesting at the State level to give in their best,” he said.
“I reminded them that at the centre of our campaign will be a strong desire for service to the people and a firm commitment to nation building. I listened to their challenges and wished them well. They shall succeed. A New Nigeria is here.”
