The national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, says he is confident that the presidential election tribunal will declare Peter Obi as the winner of the February 25 presidential election, nullifying Bola Tinubu’s victory.
Abure spoke while addressing some Nigerians in Washington DC during a working visit to the United States.
Obi, the presidential candidate of the party who came third in the presidential election, and his rival in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar who was in second place are challenging the outcome of the poll. They are each claiming to have won the election.
Lamenting the situation of the country since the mantle of leadership fell on Tinubu, Abure said only Obi and the LP can ameliorate Nigeria’s economic woes.
“We are expecting judgment between now and the 16th of September. And I am very sure Peter Obi will become President,” the party leader said.
“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 the Labour Party and Peter Obi. And so we still believe that things will change in Nigeria.”
Abure added: “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.
“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.”
