The Labour Party faction under the leadership of Alhaji Lamidi Apapa has said the petition by the Peter Obi was a wild goose chase.
The national publicity secretary of the party, Dr Abayomi Arabambi, while reacting to the verdict on behalf of the party, said it is a shame that the legal team of Mr Obi failed to advice him properly before going to the tribunal.
While saying that the party accept the verdict without any bias, Arabambi said the whole process is a waste of time.
“Peter Obi has just gone on a wild goose chase, imagining the candidate that failed to fund the party in order to engage the number of required polling agents, also the filing of the witnesses outside the stipulated time has shown that the legal team is a failure.
“Some of us have been saying that Peter Obi decided to go to the tribunal to justify all the money he collected during the campaign, all that money was corruptly syphoned.
“It’s unfortunate that Obi failed to convince the Tribunal those polling units where he was rigged out. “
The LP faction said, “our previous position has now been confirmed that Peter Obi was just all out to defraud our party of donations made towards 2023 General Elections.
“As a law abiding party, we accept the verdict, and we are going back to the drawing board to know where we have gone wrong.”
