The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, says the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would be declared the winner of the February 25, 2023, presidential election by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Abure said the judgement by the tribunal would be delivered on or before September 16,
2023.

The LP chairman made the declaration in an interaction with Nigerians in Washington DC, United States.

“We gave them a run for their money. They have murdered sleep and they will sleep no more. They have stolen what is not for them and they will not sleep until we recover it all.

“We are expecting judgement between now and 16th of September. And I am very sure Peter Obi will become president.

“Without sounding immodest, since they took over, things are now worse. The only party and the only candidate that has solutions to the challenges of the country is Labour Party and Peter Obi. And so we still believe that things will change in Nigeria.

“I want to say that we should not lose hope, we should not be discouraged. The hope is still alive and I am confident that Peter Obi will be president.”
