The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi has revealed that he will be going to court this morning; hence,calls off his activities for the day.
Mr. Obi revealed that his presence at the court this morning is necessary as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refused to release its presidential election materials for the Labour Party to inspect as directed by the court.
Recall that Labour Party obtained a court order to inspect the election materials INEC used in its conduct of the February 25th, presidential election. Peter Obi disclosed that INEC's refusal to release the election materials for inspection is the reason himself and his legal team will storm the court this morning.
"I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today. Initially, my trip was to take me to Nasarawa, Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Plateau, Borno, etc.
"However, following INEC's refusal to allow our party to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the 25th February presidential elections, I am personally heading to the Court today with our lawyers".
He thereafter urged his supporters to continue to campaign for the Labour Party 's candidates for the March 11th states's elections.
