The flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP) in Nigeria’s just-concluded presidential election, Peter Obi says he won the poll and he will explore all legal options to reclaim his mandate.
Obi said this during his first media briefing since after Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
“We will explore all legal and peaceful option to reclaim our mandate. We won the election and we will prove it to Nigerians,” Obi said at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja.
“I am challenging the process,” Obi declared to a room full of journalists at Nigeria’s capital city, his first media appearance after the declaration of a winner by the electoral umpire.
“This is very unfair. It is the least expected of Nigeria,” he said.
He however enjoined his supporters to be calm and law abiding as they go through the process while also asking them to come out and vote for labour party in the forthcoming gubernatorial and state assembly elections.
