In response to Atiku Abubakar’s plea for him to join him on the quest to uproot President Bola Tinubu from office on account of alleged fake university degree certificate, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) has said that he is rather preoccupied with wresting the office from Tinubu on yet other grounds at the Supreme Court.
Atiku, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had secured a court judgment from the United States releasing Tinubu’s certificate from the Chicago State University (CSU) which threw up contentious issues about its genuineness.
At a press co defence thereafter, the former Vice-President had urged Obi and other Nigerians to join him and get Tinubu out of office.
But Obi’s response, which was contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, on Thursday, stressed he and the Labour Party are at the “Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.”
Ifoh further noted that 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.”
