Obi Did Not Say He Will Fight And Bleed To Death To Claim Mandate – Aide

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has denied stating that he would fight and bleed to death to claim his mandate.

The media adviser to Obi, Valentine Obienyem in a statement released on Friday said his principal is working on retrieving his stolen mandate through legal means.

According to Obienyem, the presidential candidate promised to retrieve the mandate without endangering the peace of the country.

He further stated those responsible for rigging the presidential election are against the peace of the country.

Obienyem said obi also asked his supporters to ignore the news where he was quoted as saying that “he never lost an election”; that he would fight and “bleed to death until” his mandate is restored; that he would drag “INEC until there will be no life left in them”; that he was “looking forward to jailing all that partook in this scam and fraud called election, among others”.

He said Obi described “the news as not only false but also mischievous, misleading and out of character”.

Obienyem reiterated that the LP candidate “would continue to pursue the recovery of the stolen mandate through the legal process”.

“I have worked through similar paths in the past and was successful. I shall follow the same path without endangering the relative peace in the country, which is actually what those election riggers are striving desperately to upset.”
