In response to social media posts claiming that the “Obedients” are organizing a nationwide groundswell protest with the hashtags “ENDINEC” and “ENDNigeria,” Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, has distanced himself from the claims.

Obi charged the opposition with staging the postings as well.

He made this disclosure on Friday in a post on his verified Twitter account.

The former governor of Anambra said that he had publicly stated that he would seek to have his stolen mandate restored through the legal system and with due procedure.

Despite the doubts some people may have about the judiciary, Obi urged Nigerians to work to create durable and powerful institutions.

“Social media posts that claim the Obidients are organizing a massive statewide “#ENDINEC,” “#ENDNigeria” protest have caught my attention. We are aware that the opposition is responsible for those postings.

“I have clearly declared that in the subject of regaining our stolen mandate, we shall do so aggressively via the Courts and Due Process, without prejudice to constitutional mandates on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly,” Obi added.
