PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: I INTEND TO RESTORE MY MANDATE - OBI PETER OBI

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has threatened to go to court to regain his allegedly stolen mandate.

Obi committed to exhaust all legal options in order to restore his mandate.

The former Anambra State governor spoke at an LP stakeholders' meeting in Awka on Friday about 11:30 p.m.

He was beaten by President-elect Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Despite finishing third, the LP candidate insisted he had won the election and had gone to court to challenge the results.

Obi, on the other hand, tweeted about the meeting: "Earlier, I interacted with the Anambra State Labour Party Stakeholders in Awka. The meeting was quite animated and constructive. Part of our discussions centred on the way forward for the party.

"I reassured them of my readiness to go all the way, explore every available legal option to ensure that we get our mandate back. I appreciated all their support so far, as I assured them of mine. PO."
