Supporters of the Labour Party, LP, in the United States of America, have been told by the party’s National Chairman Julius Abure that Peter Obi, LP’s presidential candidate in the February 25 elections, may soon be declared the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, if his petitions succeed at the law court.

Abure’s prediction comes ahead of the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) expected to be delivered by September 16.

PEPT has heard the arguments of Obi and LP over the declaration of the APC frontrunner, Bola Tinubu, as the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and subsequently inaugurated substantive president of Nigeria.

On tour of the UK and US to shore up the enthusiasm of party members and other supporter in the face of the fierce legal battle with a faction led by a Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa, Abure said, “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.

“We are expecting judgment between now and the 16th of September. And I am very sure Peter Obi will become President.

“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. 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,” he said of his assurance that his party’s candidate will be declared Nigeria’s new leader.”
