THERE are strong indications that followers of Labour Party candidate at the recently concluded presidential elections in Nigeria, Peter Obi, will not back down on their proposed nationwide protest in the face of opposition.
The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council said the demonstrations will hold across the country unless the Independent National Electoral Commission – INEc grants the LP’s lawyers access to materials from the contentious February 25 presidential election.
Speaking on the development, the chief spokesman for Obi campaign council, Yunusa Tanko, insisted there was no going back on mobilisation of their supporters to occupy INEC offices nationwide.
“We didn’t fix a date for the protest because we deliberately wanted INEC up till Monday to respond to us first,’’Tanko reemphasized.
“But when they (INEC) fail to do what they are supposed to do, our supporters will hit the streets, by the grace of God. There is no going back.The LP spokesman accused the electoral commission of disobeying the order of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to grant Obi and the party access to the certified true copies of materials used in the conduct of the poll.
