The LP is still committed to proving that Obi and Baba-Ahmed were the legitimate election victors notwithstanding the ongoing polling issue. The current court dispute has far-reaching repercussions for Nigeria’s democratic process, thus it is being monitored intently by both Nigerians and the world community.
The exciting developments in court since last Thursday, as reported by Tanko, show that Obi and Baba-Ahmed are not kidding about their win. Many people are watching to see what happens in the next days after the LP leader tweeted about the case.
Obi’s legal team has tendered many boxes of Election Results to the ongoing Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), as recently demonstrated in a video provided by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, a spokesman for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council. Tanko tweeted that both LP’s presidential candidate and his running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, have declared victory and are committed to demonstrating their legitimacy.
He stated, “Both the LP presidential candidate and his running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, claimed victory and pledged to produce evidence of it. It’s clear they aren’t playing any games after what’s transpired in court since last Thursday. Future events look promising.
The remark by Tanko comes as tensions rise in the country after the results of the elections on February 25. A lot of people in Nigeria are worried about how the elections are going, and some people even claim that there were major irregularities and voter suppression. Some consider the LP’s decision to sue over the results as a brave attempt to ensure fairness.
Below are some examples of his tweets:
