Chicago State University Saga: Labour Party Declines The Invitation From Atiku

Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar 

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, declined the invitation from Atiku Abubakar, his rival in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to join him in the ongoing conflict with President Bola Tinubu.

The former vice president encouraged Obi and Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian People's Party, NNPP, to join his fight for justice during an international press conference on Thursday in Abuja.

Following the controversy over President Tinubu's diploma, which Atiku received from Chicago State University, CSU, comes this.

Atiku made it apparent on Thursday that he intended to use the academic records provided by CSU as part of his litigation against the president in the Supreme Court. Atiku said that Tinubu faked the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.

In response to the appeal, Obi's team claimed he is now engaged trying to retrieve his stolen mandate before the Supreme Court in a statement released by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh.

The statement reads, "The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.

"He has been in the vanguard of ensuring a just nation where justice must be the watchword, and he will not stop until Nigeria achieves a leadership it truly deserves.

"Obi has pontificated severally on the need for leaders to be good role models and to live a life worthy of emulation. This he has done by publicly putting his credentials in the open for verification. Nigeria will get better when men of integrity and honour drive the affairs of the nation.

"We therefore welcome every other interest willing to join us in our pursuit of a nation where justice shall reign."
