Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25 election, Mr. Peter Obi on Monday reassured his supporters the ruling of the Supreme Court on the contest is not the end.
Obi stated this on Monday at a press conference in Abuja in reaction to recent pronouncement of the apex court on the presidential election.
Obi said his dream for a new Nigeria has not ended with the October 26, 2023 verdict of the Supreme Court.
Crux News recalls that the apex court affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While he faulted the judgement of the Supreme Court, Obi however conceded that the end has come to the legal battle of the last election.
Addressing his supporters popularly called ‘Obidients’, the former governor of Anambra State said a destination is not an event but a journey.
The 62-year-old businessman addressed the media alongside his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed and did not disclose whether he would run for President again in 2027.
He assured the Obidient movement that “this is not the end of our journey but in fact the beginning.”
“Nigerians heard you, the world has taken note and we will not forget easily. We shall endure, persist until we reach our destination because new Nigeria is our destination. A destination is not an event,” Oni said.
Justice John Okoro-led panel of the apex court threw had on October 26 thrown out all the appeals by Obi and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar for lacking merit.
