Julius Abure, national chairman of the Labour Party (LP),
has asked supporters of the party not to be discouraged by the judgement of the
presidential election petitions tribunal.
On Wednesday, the tribunal struck out the various charges
filed by Peter Obi and the LP, challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in
the February 25 election.
Abure, in a statement on Friday, said the tribunal verdict
would be appealed, adding that the party’s participation in the 2023 elections
changed the political landscape in the country.
“Let me start first by thanking all our supporters, Labour
Party members and the Obidient members for their immense support towards the
party,” Abure said.
“Out of their support
for the party, we have in our kitty today a governor, 35 members of the House
of Representatives, 8 distinguished Senators and several House of Assembly
members.
“Our participation in the 2023 general election, no doubt
has changed the political landscape in the country.
“All these achievements by the Labour Party could not have
been possible if not for the support of members of the public, the Obidient
family and well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians who genuinely wanted
change for the country.
“I am indeed very
appreciative of their efforts, their financial contributions and moral support
and how they came out to vote for the party in the presidential election which
we believe we won irrespective of whatever the tribunal has said.
“Even the judgement is also a step towards reclaiming our
country. I am therefore admonishing all our supporters not to be discouraged at
all. We are preparing our papers and we are definitely moving from here to the
Supreme Court.
“For us as a party, we are going to sustain this momentum
and we are also calling on all our supporters to sustain this momentum to take
over the country and to reposition it for greatness.
“It is not an easy task but I am happy that we have started,
we have put our hands on the plough and we will definitely not look back.
“I am therefore admonishing our supporters to remain
committed to the movement and remain committed to Nigeria. Nigeria belongs to
all of us and it must definitely work.”
