The Labour Party affirms that its mission is to abide by the rule of law and not participate in violence of any form.
Also, the party expresses that this clarification is needed to straighten the record on false allegations of plans to arrest supporters of the presidential candidate Peter Obi on the charges of inciting violence.
This was written in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh in Abuja on Monday.
He also mentioned that he was aware of the viral trends of videos and prints showing the arrest of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
He further said:
“The stories are related to some persons who are praying for Obi’s arrest.
“Normally, such stories should not attract our attention. However, we are worried when fake stories fly around us including video clips from pre-election and campaign speeches where Obi spoke to Nigerian youths about the importance of returning to our country.
“Creating videos, like the latest record and trying to appear fresh, is wrong, if not criminal.
This is a deception, simple and vaguely aimed at false accusations and entrapment. Here, we must reaffirm Obi’s commitment and commitment to the rule of law and the propagation of non-violent politics.
“When INEC announced the results of the election at 4 o’clock on March 1, 2023, Obi’s supporters across the country and in the diaspora urged him to allow mass protests, but he refused saying that he would take back Nigeria. peaceful process, not violence.
Obi’s delay in organizing the violence is part of the author’s imagination and a bad name for hanging.” Obi is not a violent person, but he believes that justice must be served no matter how long it takes.
As a man of faith, the former governor of Anambra State believes that the new Nigeria will be filled with great potential and he does not need to take his supporters to the streets to achieve this goal.
The Labor Party; therefore, he wants to advise prophets and sorcerers whether real or imagined, stay away from Obi’s prophecies because faith is in Nigeria and God and not in imaginary sorcerers.”
