As the date for the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to deliver its judgement draws nearer, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, has assured Nigerians in the United States that Peter Obi, the party’s candidate in the February 25 presidential election would soon be declared president of the country.
Abure, who has been on a tour of the United Kingdom and the United States to encourage members of the party said the judgment by the tribunal was expected to come on or before September 16, 2023.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Parry, Obiora Ifo, Abure assured Nigerians in the US, while addressing the Obidient Nigerian community in Washington DC, that their candidate would eventually emerge winner of the election.
“Following Peter Obi’s participation in the 2023 general election, we changed the political narratives in Nigeria. We gave them a run for their money. They have murdered sleep and they will sleep no more. They have stolen what is not for them and they will not sleep until we recover it all.
“We are expecting judgment between now and 16th of September. And I am very sure Peter Obi will become President. Without sounding immodest, since they took over, things are now worse.
“The only party and the only candidate that has solutions to the challenges of the country is Labour Party and Peter Obi. And so we still believe that things will change in Nigeria. I want to say that we should not lose hope, we should not be discouraged. The hope is still alive and I am confident that Peter Obi will be president,” he said.
