The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said the Supreme Court verdict, which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 poll, only postponed the revolution.
Obi stated this while addressing a world press conference in Abuja, on Monday.
He said the Supreme Court simply “postponed the revolution by legalising illegality.”
“I assure all Nigerians that this is not the end. A new and prosperous Nigeria is not an event, it is not a destination, it is a journey.
“I will not give up on the quest for a Nigeria that is founded on character, competence, integrity, compassion and rule of law,” he added.
Obi also thanked Nigerians who supported Labour Party in the 2023 election.
“If there is one thing that has immensely gladdened my heart in the course of the struggle of the past 18 months, it is the passionate desire of our people, especially our young people from across ethnic and religious divides, to construct a new and restructured Nigeria that will work for all Nigerians.
“That goal remains my guiding light and abiding inspiration.
“Finally, I thank all Nigerians who believed in us. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Nigerians who have supported this mission from the onset
“We deeply appreciate the unalloyed non-partisan moral support millions of youth and ordinary Nigerians across ethnic, religious and geopolitical divides have continued to give to Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed and me,” he said.
