Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi, has said he would carry out a national tour after the Presidential election tribunal to inspire all the Labour Party candidates who failed in the last election.
Obi said this while fielding questions from a participant on the Twitter space hosted by Parallel Facts news outlet.
The space had over 35,000 participants, while many who spoke extolled the virtue of the LP presidential candidate. They assured him of their unwavering support as he seeks redress over the presidential election which was held in February, 2023.
According to Obi “Once we finish this Court session, I am going to start moving around and touring where I will have the opportunity of meeting people like you.
“You know this year everything went into a rush. Change is a difficult thing. We are trying to bring change into the land, even those whom you are trying to better their lives, because they are not sure whether you will win. So bringing a change is a very difficult thing.”
