Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) has reacted to the Federal High Court ruling, whiched affirmed Barrister Julius Abure as the authentic national chairman of the party.
Obi stated that he had met with Governor Alex Otti of Abia State along with the Caretaker Chairman and Secretary of the Labour Party.
Earlier reported that the court declared the 2024 Labour Party national convention held in Nnewi, which reelected Abure, valid, stating that the convention was in line with all laid-down laws in Nigeria.
However, reacting on Wednesday to the matter, Obi, in a post on his X handle, said the goal is to emerge stronger and more unified, standing together as one united front.
The former Anambra State Governor urged all members of the Labour Party to remain calm and patient as they continue to engage in discussions and consultations.
He said: “Yesterday, Governor Alex Otti @alexottiofr and I, along with the Caretaker Chairman and Secretary of the Labour Party, convened to discuss and review recent developments, including the judgment delivered by an Abuja High Court on the same day.
“I urge all members of the Labour Party to remain calm and patient as we continue to engage in discussions and consultations.
“Our goal is to emerge stronger and more unified, standing together as one united front.
“We must not allow this to divert us from addressing the pressing issues affecting our people today.
“We have always known that the task of creating a new Nigeria that is possible will not come without challenges.”
