But while reacting to the Supreme Court ruling, Obi accused the apex court of ignoring evidence which he said further dampens citizens' trust in the judiciary.

Peter Obi has described the Supreme Court judgment that affirmed Bola Tinubu’s election as Nigeria’s president as a breach of the citizens’ trust in the judiciary.The apex court had some weeks ago dismissed the appeals of Obi, who contested under the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, and that of his Peoples Democratic Party counterpart Atiku Abubakar challenging Tinubu’s victory at the Presidential Election Petition Court .

“Without equivocation, this judgment amounts to a total breach of the confidence the Nigerian people have in our judiciary. To that extent, it is a show of unreasonable force against the very Nigerian people from whom the power of the Constitution derives,” Obi said during a world press conference at the LP National Headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

“Where the value and import of the recent Supreme Court ruling ends is where our commitment to a New Nigeria begins. Our mission and mandate remain unchanged. From the very onset, our mission has been more about enthroning a new Nigeria,” the LP presidential candidate added.
