Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has vowed to reclaim his alleged stolen mandate in court.<\/p>\n

Obi vowed to explore every legal option in ensuring he reclaims his mandate.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra State governor spoke during an LP stakeholders\u2019 meeting in Awka.<\/p>\n

Recall that Obi came third during the last presidential election.<\/p>\n

He was defeated by the President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Despite coming third, the LP flagbearer insisted he won the election and had headed to court to contest the outcome of the poll.<\/p>\n

However, tweeting about the meeting, Obi wrote: \u201cEarlier, I interacted with the Anambra State Labour Party Stakeholders in Awka. The meeting was quite animated and constructive. Part of our discussions centred on the way forward for the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI reassured them of my readiness to go all the way, explore every available legal option to ensure that we get our mandate back. I appreciated all their support so far, as I assured them of mine. PO.\u201d<\/p>\n
