His words:
“When the Labour Party ran into a problem. There was a member of the LP who insisted that the LP could not present the candidacy of Peter Obi. They had a legal problem.
"We went and obtain judgment in court; from the Court of Appeal, and handed it over to Falana to use it to defend the Labour Party, and by extension, Peter Obi’s candidacy. Yes! I’m just telling you that we’re in the business of saving people."
Saving Obi from impeachment in Anambra
Continuing, Sowore stated that while Obi served as the governor of Anambra state, he saved him from possible impeachment by members of the House of Assembly.
He claimed that there were moves by some key indigenes of the state to "flush" Obi out of Anambra state but his online newspaper, Sahara Reporters intervened twice.
He added:
"Falana on a daily basis will call me, saying: ‘I don’t know Peter Obi, but we should not allow this injustice to pass, nobody should be impeached.
"Obasanjo was impeaching everybody impeachable at that time in Nigeria. That was how Obi was able to complete two tenures. So when we speak, we know what we’re saying.”
