Peter Obi Shuns ‘Religious War’, Restate Position To Reclaim ‘Stolen Mandate’

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi has said that the attempts by the All Progressive Congress (APC) to divert his attention and that of ‘Obidients’ supporters from reclaiming their stolen mandate will not stand.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that Obi who is presently challenging the flawed electoral process of the 2023 presidential election said the APC led-government through some government officials and agencies are strategizing themselves to halt his legal process.

He condemned the allegations of religious war and treason by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed during an interview with international media at Washington in US.

He recalled that he has always asked people never to vote because he is Igbo or based or religions rather on the assessment of Character, Competence, Capacity, Credibility, and Compassion in a bid to achieve a new Nigeria.

Obi argued that the APC led-government should be more focused more focused to end flawed electoral processes, the parlous state of our economy, unsustainable debt burden, lamentable unemployment and inflation, insecurity, and multi-dimensional poverty instead of creating tension and hatred within and outside the country

However, the former Anambra Governor stated clearly that his fight to reclaim the mandate of the people through all lawful and peaceful options in line with our legal system and constitution will continue regardless the plots by APC.

He implores all Nigerians to remain peaceful and law abiding.

Obi wrote; “These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.”

“The present attempts by the APC as a Party, and the APC Led-government through some government officials and agencies to divert our attention from our blatantly stolen mandate is unfortunate and sad While we call on all concerned Nigerians and the International Community to implore the APC and the APC Led-government to stop their nasty attacks, my focus and commitment to lawfully and peacefully retrieve our mandate to secure and unite our Nation, take Nigeria from consumption to production, pull millions of Nigerians out of multidimensional poverty especially in the North, and jumpstart prosperity through agricultural, industrial, and technological revolution remain unchanged.”

“Elections are over, and we are in court to retrieve our stolen mandate. Let me reiterate that we are doing so through all lawful and peaceful options in line with our legal system and constitution, and I continue to implore all Nigerians to remain peaceful and law abiding.”

“Those fixated with heating up the polity, creating divisions, tensions and hatred within and outside Nigeria should remember that Nigeria is our only country. Our focus should be on how to address the litany of challenges facing us, such as: flawed electoral processes, the parlous state of our economy, unsustainable debt burden, lamentable unemployment and inflation, insecurity, and multi-dimensional poverty. A New Nigeria is indeed POssible, and God will help us.”
