Peter Obi, the presidential bannerman of the Labour Party (LP), has declined the invitation from Atiku Abubakar, his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, to collaborate in the legal battle concerning President Bola Tinubu’s academic records.
Obi, in a statement released by the LP’s spokesperson, Obiora Ifoh, pointed out his unwavering focus on regaining his mandate at the Supreme Court.
Atiku had urged Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the Labour Party and NNPP to join him, stressing the nation’s expectation for them to uphold and defend the rule of law.
Atiku further extended the call to religious, traditional, and political leaders
He reminded them of the significance of their collective effort in ensuring probity on a national scale.
He said:
“He (Obi) 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 severally on the need for leaders to be good role models and to 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.
“We therefore welcome every other interest willing to join us in our pursuit of a nation where justice shall reign.”
