The long walk to victory for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi appears to have started on Wednesday following his decision to shelve the governorship campaigns in some states and instead appear in Court with his lawyers.
Peter Obi who is challenging the result of the presidential election that produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressive Congress as winner, has asked the appeal court to grant him access to INEC materials used in the conduct of the election.
Following the decision of the Appeal Court to fix the ruling for Wednesday, today, the former governor of Anambra state decided to put every other thing aside in order to personally witness the proceedings in court.
He made this known on his verified twitter handle on Wednesday.
He wrote: “I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today.
“Initially, my trip was to take me to Nasarawa, Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Plateau, Borno, etc.
“However, following INEC’s refusal to allow our party to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the 25th February presidential elections, I am personally heading to the court today with our lawyers.
“As we pursue due process and defer to the rule of law, I urge all the OBIdients in the various states to remain calm continue to support our party and candidates,” he said.
