In court, we'll reclaim our mandate. Obi-Datti pledge

-

   Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has informed Nigerians, particularly party supporters, that he and his principal, Mr. Peter Obi, were ready to pursue and recover their mandate through the legal system.
He urged Nigerians to keep using their voting rights because democracy belongs to those who can use it.
In his first statement following the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) declaration of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of yesterday's presidential election in Abuja, Baba-Ahmed said: "We implore Nigerians to continue to execute their civic obligations."
Anyone has the ability to exercise democracy is entitled to it. Nigeria should keep working to put it into practice. Peace is the only language we can communicate in. Obi and I have a greater faith in Nigeria and Nigerians.



"We won the election in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but they wouldn't upload the results or use IREV so they could defeat us," the person said.

"To beat Peter Obi and my modest self, it took a serving government illegality and constitutional violation.

"Nigerian people are winners, and Nigerian people look forward to the day when Peter Obi and I, through the rigors of law and constitution, would someday come to power."

He urged Nigerians and party supporters to maintain their composure while assuring them that their efforts to create a better Nigeria where the rule of law would prevail would not go in vain. 

Regardless of how little faith we have in the system, your responsibility is your responsibility, he said in response to a query about whether the party intended to file a lawsuit challenging the results of the elections.

"Despite our poor level of trust in the courts, Nigerians ran for president in 2023 through Peter Obi and my modest self. We'll keep up the fight.

We didn't have much faith in the government's election-related promises, but we nonetheless went ahead with the vote. Because of this, it makes no difference how little trust we have in the judicial system since the law is the law. 

But we do have trust in ourselves. We are confident that the election, to put it mildly, did not go as planned because the Election Act of 2007 as amended allowed for immediate result transmission from the polling place.
