The anti-President Bola Tinubu call by the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PD, Atiku Abubakar to “well-meaning Nigerians and leaders of thoughts” particularly fellow opposition Presidential candidates, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi, has drawn reaction from the latter camp.
‘’In line with this, therefore, I am calling on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thought, our religious leaders, our traditional leaders, our community leaders, our political leaders, and in particular, (ex) Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and (ex) Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and the leaders of every political party in Nigeria and, indeed, every single person who loves this country, as I do, and who wishes nothing but the best for the country, as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality and uprightness in our country and our government,” Atiku had said on Thursday at the press conference where he shared allegedly dirty dossier on Tinubu.
Reacting to the charge, Labour Party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said, “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.
“He 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.”
