President Bola Tinubu has been accused of making subtle moves and employing gimmicks to frustrate the efforts of the Labour Party in their quest to unseat him.
The allegation was made on Thursday by LP National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh in his response to reports that President Tinubu has written to state governors to nominate persons for ministerial and other board appointments from their states.
Ifoh stated that the party would not be distracted by the President’s actions and assured Nigerians that the LP has seen through APC’s ‘desperate attempts’ to legitimize a stolen mandate.
“We are not unaware of the subtle moves by the APC and President Tinubu to break our ranks using all kinds of gimmicks to try to break our resolve to retrieve the mandate freely given to Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed on February 25, 2023.
“We will not be swayed or distracted from our goal, which is to retrieve our stolen mandate that is why we are before the Tribunal and have provided the necessary documents and arguments to buttress our case.
“I can assure you that the majority of Nigerians are with us and have seen through all of the desperate attempts by the APC to legitimize what it is fully aware is a stolen mandate”, he said.
