“My position is clear: Without prejudice to constitutional dictates on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, I have publicly stated that in the matter of reclaiming our stolen mandate, we shall do so robustly, via the Courts and Due Process.
“Regardless of the misgivings many may have about our Judiciary, we must strive to build strong and resilient institutions, of which the Judiciary is one”, Peter Obi said.
He said further that, “As a firm believer in the separation of powers between three arms of government, I am conscious that every so often, the Judiciary is called upon to vindicate itself on epochal national public-interest issues.
“The matter presently before the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is one such litmus test case. Therefore, we committed to pursuing Due Process in an unfettered manner. That is our primary and priority option”, Obi said.
Obi who said he is on the right course to reclaim his stolen mandate by challenging the outcome of the February 25 Presidential Poll that declared All Progressive Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as the winner in court.
