Labour Party’s Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians in the spirit of Ramadan to remain focused on peace and the rule of law and resist the temptation to be distracted.
The ex-Anambra state Governor made the imploration in his Salah’s message to Muslims on the occasion of the celebration of this year’s Eid il fitr.
He said: “We remain in prayers that these challenges will be overcome without adverse shock to the polity, nation & national interest.
“The most egregious of these acts is the allegation of treason for speaking up and for following due process. It is now common knowledge that perpetrators of state capture and their acolytes continue to attack Datti and I, and indeed, the Labour Party and the Obidient Family, for seeking redress in the court of law to recover our stolen electoral mandate.
“Efforts to dissuade us from pursuing rightful judicial recourse have included state deployment of deep fake audio, identity theft, impersonation, trolls, and fighting words, but In the true spirit of Ramadan, we have remained guided and responsible.”
