The candidate of the Labour party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, on Monday, said his dream for a new Nigeria has not ended with the October 26, 2023 verdict of the Supreme Court.
Obi remarked at a press conference in Abuja roughly two weeks after the Supreme Court upheld President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) electoral victory on February 25, 2023.
Obi, who criticised the Supreme Court’s decision, agreed that the legal struggle over the last election was over.
The former governor of Anambra State, speaking to his fans known as ‘Obidients,’ remarked that a destination is not an event but a journey.
Although the 62-year-old businessman, who addressed the media alongside his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, did not explicitly disclose whether he would run for President again in 2027, he said the end has not come for his journey for a new Nigeria.
Obi appreciated “the energy and dedication of Nigerian youths and the Obidient movement”.
He said, “I want to assure them that this is not the end of our journey but in fact the beginning. Nigerians heard you, the world has taken note and we will not forget easily. We shall endure, persist until we reach our destination because new Nigeria is our destination. A destination is not an event.”
