has said its presidential candidate, Peter Obi resisted pressure from home and abroad to lead a mass protest against the February 25 election when the results were announced.
The party said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, on Monday in Abuja. The party said the former Anambra Governor insisted that taking back Nigeria through him will come through due and peaceful process and not via violence. “On March 1st, 2023 when the INEC announced its charade election result by 4 a.m., Obi supporters across the country and in the diaspora mounted pressure on him to authorize a mass protest but he declined insisting instead that taking back Nigeria through him will come through due and peaceful process and not via violence.”
The statement added: “The insinuation of late that Obi is orchestrating violence is a figment of the imagination of the authors and giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Obi is not a violent man but he believes justice must reign no matter how long it takes.“As a man of faith, the former Anambra state Governor strongly believes that a new Nigeria is POssible following due process and does not need to drag his supporters out in the street to achieve it.
