According to New Telegraph, Edun said the party has already made its stance known that the former Anambra state governor won the 2023 election.
Edun said the Labour Party is pursuing Obi’s alleged stolen mandate at the Supreme Court and has no plan to work with Tinubu’s government.
“This is why we cannot be talking about Obi, somebody who is the owner of the mandate, working with somebody who is a pretender to the office. Until we see to the end of this case at the Supreme Court, it is not over.”
In the same manner, the LP spokesman said Obi cannot be distracted from going after his alleged stolen mandate at the Supreme Court.
Ifoh said:
“We are still in the process of reclaiming our stolen mandate through our appeal at the Supreme Court. There is no way our candidate can be seen working for this government. For now, he is focused on the appeal at the apex,”
