Abide by the law of the land - Peter Obi tells supporters

Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, has urged his supporters to

respond to attacks from the opposition with equal measure. Speaking at the National Executive Council meeting of the party in Asaba, Obi emphasized that while responding to attacks, his supporters must abide by the law of the land.

 

Obi encouraged Nigerians to remain calm and steadfast in their quest to reclaim their mandate of a New Nigeria. He acknowledged that the journey would not be easy as the forces who had benefited from the old order were bound to fight back. However, he reiterated the determination of the group involved in this project to resist intimidation or harassment from any quarter while remaining law-abiding.

 

Obi declared his commitment to a Nigeria that would benefit every Nigerian, stating that the struggle to reclaim the mandate was not about him, but millions of Nigerians who trusted him with their votes. He promised to lift people out of poverty and transform Nigeria, starting from the North to every part of the nation.

 

Obi acknowledged that there may be more mudslinging against him from those who are against the emergence of the New Nigeria, but he would not be deterred by the obstacles along the way to victory. He emphasized that he had always lived his life in the most law-abiding manner possible and encouraged his supporters to do the same.

 

The statement released by the Obi-Datti Media office titled “Obi at Labour Party NEC Meeting, calls for Calm and Steadfast to the Course” highlighted Obi's commitment to the Nigerian people and his determination to lead them to a better future. He urged his supporters to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and not give up on the nation.
