The Nation Newspaper UPDATED: Obi surrenders, accepts Supreme Court judgement

, Peter Obi has surrendered and accepted the judgement of the Supreme Court which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu as president.

While officially reacting to the Supreme Court judgement at a news conference on Monday in Abuja, Obi said the party would continue to canvas for good governance and focus on issues that promoted national interest, unity, and cohesion as contained in its manifesto. “Setting legal issues aside, the Supreme Court exhibited a disturbing aversion to public opinion just as it abandoned its responsibility as a court of law and policy.

“As a party and as candidates, Datti and I have now exhausted all legal and constitutional remedies available to us. However, this end is only another beginning in our quest for the vindication of the hope of the common man for a better country. After all, sovereignty belongs to the people! If only for historical purposes, it behooves us to place our disagreement with and deep reservations about this judgment on public record.

“Going forward, we in the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement are now effectively in opposition. We are glad that the nation has heard us loud and clear. We shall now expand the confines of our message of hope to the rest of the country. We shall meet the people in the places where they feel pain and answer their needs for hope. At marketplaces, motor parks, town halls, board rooms, and university and college campuses, we all carry and deliver the message of a new Nigeria.
