The Labour Party has said it was confident that Nigerians wouldn’t be intimidated into abandoning their legitimate, legal right to seek judicial redress to reclaim their mandate which was freely given to the LP Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi which was brazenly stolen.
Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party, Dr Yunusa Tanko, said this in response to an alarm raised by the Department of State Services, in Abuja, yesterday.
The DSS alleged that some politicians were plotting to derail democracy through demonstrations and “obtaining frivolous court injunctions” to stop the inauguration of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.
Yunusa said, “We are certain that Nigerians who want to take back their country will not be intimidated or blackmailed into abandoning a legitimate course.
“As a party, we have submitted ourselves to pursuing the course of justice through constitutional means, it will not serve as the interest of democracy collapses in Nigeria.
“We will like to ask, where was the DSS when our members and other Nigerians were being attacked, maimed and killed especially in Lagos?
“Where was the DSS when MC Oluomo and his ilk were engaged in ethnic profiling and violence against Nigerians of a certain ethnic nationality over their democratic choices?
“We needed the DSS to step up its game then but it failed. If it had done what it was supposed to, our nation would have been better for it.
“ Now that Nigerians have decided to follow laid down democratic procedures of drawing attention to injustice warnings and threats are being issued.
“The DSS ought to have issued these warnings from the beginning to show Nigerians that this country belongs to all of us and not the personal fiefdom of an individual or a group.
“We urge the DSS to send these words of caution to those bigots who are pushing this country to the brink of disaster with their utterances and violent conduct against other peace-loving Nigerians who do not subscribe to their political views or speak their language.”
Truly they are Obidiots. Is LP contesting the election results? Why are you jittery over DSS seeking to arrest anyone trying to commit the felony of asking for interim government? Ozuonumakon Pro-Max
Inasmuch as I do not support the fraud and violence committed by the APC before,, during and after the election, it is wrong for anyone to heat the polity further by calling for an Interim Government.
The case is in court. The the law take its course.
I believe that PETER OBI will get justice for us at the Supreme Court.
Take it or leave it, Nigeria will be great again!
Those clamouring for an Interim Government should be arrested an made to cool off.
MC Oluomo should not go free either. The ethnic profiler, Onanuga, should be picked up by the DSS as well.
Let everyone be truly equal before the law.
Interim Government is a NO-NO!
I am Obidiently Yusful.
