PEPC Judgement: Peter Obi Heads To Supreme Court, Says No Relenting On His Quest For Justice
Peter Obi has instructed his lawyers to immediately challenge the ruling of the five-member Presidential Election Petitions Court led by Justice Simon Haruna Tsamani.
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the contentious February 25th election, Peter Obi has instructed his lawyers to immediately challenge the ruling of the five-member Presidential Election Petitions Court led by Justice Simon Haruna Tsamani.
VerseNews reports that Obi stated this at a press conference in the commercial town of Onitsha, Anambra state on Thursday in reaction to the PEPC ruling yesterday, where he copiously acknowledged the Court’s contributions to due process and the seeming attempt to strengthen our democracy.
Obi said “As petitioners in this case, we respect the views and rulings of the Court, but we disagree with the Court’s reasoning and conclusions in the judgment it delivered. It is my intention as a presidential candidate and the intention of the Labour Party to challenge this judgment by way of appeal immediately, as allowed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”
“Our legal team has already received our firm instruction to file an appeal against the decision. I shall not relent in the quest for justice, not necessarily for myself but indeed for our teeming supporters all over the country and beyond whose mandate to us at the polls was regrettably truncated by INEC.”
