Why I Was Absent at Supreme Court — Peter Obi
Posted by Thandiubani on Mon 06th Nov, 2023 - tori.ngThe former governor of Anambra State spoke at the World Press Conference held at the LP campaign headquarters in Abuja.
Peter Obi has explained his absence during Supreme Court's ruling on his appeal against President Bola Tinubu's election.
Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the February 25 general elections gave an explanation on Monday.
He explained his absence at the Supreme Court, saying he was unable to attend due to a pre-arranged international commitment.
The former governor of Anambra State made this known at the World Press Conference held at the LP campaign headquarters in Abuja.
He said, “About a fortnight ago, I was traveling abroad on a prior scheduled engagement when I received the notice that the Supreme Court would give judgment on 26th October 2023 on our challenge to the ruling of the Presidential Election Petitions Court. That judgment has since been delivered as scheduled.
“The leadership of the Labour Party has already pronounced its position on the judgment. As someone who has previously benefited from the rulings of the Supreme Court on electoral matters, I have, after a period of deep and sober reflection, decided to personally and formally react to the recent judgment as most Nigerians have. Because we are confronted with very weighty issues of national interest, I will speak forthrightly.”
