ELECTION: Obi storms Abuja court to tackle INEC

By Akpokona Omafuaire

With the application of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to the Court of Appeal to vary the restraining order granted to the Labour Party, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi today has decided to storm the court.

This was revealed by him on his verified twitter handle @PeterObi

According to him, "I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today. Initially, my trip was to take me to Nasarawa, Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Plateau, Borno, etc.

"However, following INEC's refusal to allow our party to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the 25th February presidential elections, I am personally heading to the Court today with our lawyers.

"As we pursue due process and defer to the rule of law, I urge all the OBIdients in the various states to continue campaigning for our candidates, namely, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour in Lagos, Chijoke Edeoga in Enugu, Patrick Dakum in Plateau, Alex Otti in Abia, Ken Pela in Delta,

"Ibrahim Mshelia in Borno, to name just a few. It is also imperative that Obidients vote for candidates with Competence, Character, Capacity, and Compassion. I remain committed and will give more attention to our mission of retrieving our mandate. A new Nigeria is possible! -PO." He said.
