Attacks Against Obi will Backfire, Imo Youth Mobilizer Warns Detractors.
A young entrepreneur and youth mobilizer in Imo State, Franklin Awuzie has urged the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to remain resolute in his desire and struggle for a better Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference in Owerri, Awuzie, said that, “the plots to incriminate Obi simply because he is challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election would backfire.”
He said “In our laws, challenging the outcome of an election in court, the Election Petitions Tribunal as the case is in Nigeria is not a crime. The plot to indict Obi for disagreeing with what INEC did on February 25 will backfire.
“From the doctoring of his telephone conversation with Bishop David Oyedepo to the treasonable charges preferred against him by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lia Muhammed are all desperate plots to shut Mr Peter Obi up.
“Obi himself has also confirmed that there is pressure on him to leave the country but those who are plotting this wickedness against a man Nigerians freely gave their votes to have suddenly forgotten that going to court to challenge the outcome of an election is part of the electioneering processes.
“They should let Peter Obi be. He hasn’t committed any crime. Our courts will decide who actually won the February 25 presidential election. Peter Obi is a man of the people. He has meticulously followed and obeyed the rule of law.”
