We have done our bit, says Labour Party
The Labour Party (LP), in its response to the Supreme Court ruling, says it has done it ‘bit’. On Thursday, the apex court validated President Bola Tinubu’s election while dismissing LP’s candidate, Peter Obi’s appeal.
Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party’s standard bearer Abubakar Atiku, filed appeals at the Supreme Court, aimed at invalidating President Bola Tinubu’s victory at last February presidential poll.
Yunusa Tanko, spokesman for LP, said about the ruling: “As far as we are concerned, we have brought out our cases beyond reasonable doubt, but the court chose to look at the other side and turn a deaf ear to our plea. And they have taken their decision.
“As democrats, we will not do anything otherwise but rather resort to the masses’ court — the public and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They can analyse this judgment vis-a-vis what they are facing at the moment and what’s the credibility of the leadership already enthroned.”
“We’ll continue to be law-abiding and follow the dictates of democracy. Don’t forget that democracy also gives room for people to speak on issues if they feel they are being offended. So we have done our bit and we will leave this particular issue now to the masses’ court.”vv
