Labour Party Say Why Obi Can’t Work With Tinubu’s Government

The Labour Party’s leadership has stated that its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will not work with President Bola Tinubu’s government.

This was revealed in two separate interviews with Obiora Ifoh, LP’s National Publicity Secretary, and Kehinde Edun, LP’s National Legal Adviser.

Reacting to the possibility of Obi working with the Tinubu government, the legal adviser of LP said, “I think Obi has something he is pursuing, especially when we are sure we won the election. So it will be out of place for us to now say we want to work with this government. As far as LP is concerned, we are waiting for the Supreme Court to set aside the decision of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal that will pronounce Obi as the winner. That’s what we are waiting for.

“This is why we cannot be talking about Obi, somebody who is the owner of the mandate, working with somebody who is a pretender to the office. Until we see to the end of this case at the Supreme Court, it is not over.”

The Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary insisted that the LP candidate cannot be distracted by such an idea because he is currently focused on reclaiming his “stolen mandate” from the Supreme Court.

The party was responding to Atiku’s earlier call for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to join his crusade to expose Tinubu’s alleged dirty secrets.

The Labour Party’s stance comes six days after Obi criticized the president on Arise TV’s ‘Morning Show’ in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding his academic records at Chicago State University.

Obi stated that any leader who lies about his credentials or age cannot be trusted to do the right thing and is therefore unfit to lead the people.

Obi said, “We are at the point where we are challenging the process and that has to come to a logical end before any other thing. These are parts of what makes a nation. The processes through which people assume office are far more than what they do thereafter. It is important that people come in through the right door and not just jump in through the window and keep saying ‘Let’s move on.’

“The issue of qualification is the issue of leaders making statements and doing things that are honest and truthful. This is an issue of honour and integrity.

“If you look at what is happening in Nigeria today, there are so many issues of certificates, age, and all sorts of one falsification or the other with the leaders. There is no way people can do this and be able to do the right thing. That means they are living a falsified life.”
