Peter Obi Not Leaving Nigeria Despite Pres sure; Attacks–Spokesman, Tanko by Antimandatethie(m): 12:45pm On Apr 07, 2023
Tanko during an interview on Arise TV on Thursday also said every
scheme being put in place to demarket the party and its presidential
candidate is only making the party stronger and more popular.
The spokesperson for the Labour Party presidential campaign council,
Yunusa Tanko has said the presidential candidate of the party in the
2023 election, Peter Obi will not go anywhere despite alleged threats
against him and other members of the party.


Tanko during an interview on Arise TV on Thursday also said every
scheme being put in place to demarket the party and its presidential
candidate is only making the party stronger and more popular.
He said, “With the issue of whether Peter Obi was asked to leave; yes,
there have been threats like that. Not only to him but to all of us.
“They have been threatening our lives but we didn’t care because
Nigeria is our focus; that is the focus of Peter Obi and he has said
clearly, he is not going anywhere.
“We are right here; we are going to challenge this particular case of
illegality legally and that is it. But the issue of intimidation and
probably asking him to leave this country, no, he is not going anywhere.
“He is a general in this particular legal case and he has his legal team
and we are there to support and the Nigerian people are there to back
him up until when we get to the root of this matter.
“It is very clear that the Labour Party is the darling political party of
most Nigerians as at today, at least those of us who are interested in
getting Nigeria back on the right track and so every attack and every
means of demarketing the Labour Party, including the presidential
candidate is the scheme that is being put into place at the moment
now and it only makes us more popular and stronger.
“And the more they throw things at us, the more we rebuff them and
then make sure we are doing the right thing at the right time.”
Tanko also said those using religious and tribal sentiments are a
serious threat to society not Obi.
He said, “There are serious threats against the Nigerian state; it’s not
about Peter Obi. Now, he has gone beyond that because when you
challenge the Nigerian state and then its unity and then using religion
and tribal sentiment in order to send a negative signal to the Nigerian
people of course actually those are the people who are a threat to the
Nigerian society, not Peter Obi.
“Because it is very clear; you told us that an election has been
conducted based on provision of the laws, we challenged that particular
provision of the law.
“We said that the candidate which was put in place does not have the
prerequisite to contest for election; we also said that particular person
has already been convicted as a felony on the issue of drug abuse
which we still maintain and we are still pursuing, so what we are simply
doing, we are challenging the system legally and so it has become a
problem for those who could not maintain this particular fact of the
matter.

“So as it is now, they are now using all kinds of ways; they started
with the issue of religion, concocting all kinds of audio and all sending a
signal to our Muslim brothers in the north, saying that probably Peter
Obi is drumming the war music.”

People are making this country look an ideological war zone, which on the other hand defeats the very essence of any united country

A word is enough for the wise

Peter Obi is not going anywhere.

When hearing into the lawsuits of PDP and LP challenging the election of the Druggie starts, those APC thugs will have something to keep them busy.

For now, they can keep faffing around.
