Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, revealed on Wednesday why he would be going to the Court of Appeal.
Obi stated that he was going to the Appeal Court because the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, refused to allow the LP to check electoral materials used in the presidential election.
He made the revelation while bemoaning his inability to campaign for LP gubernatorial candidates across the country.

Obi finished third, trailing the winner, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Following his defeat, Obi moved the court to protest his loss and requested permission to inspect electoral papers.
However, Obi, in a series of tweets, wrote: “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.
“As we pursue due process and defer to the rule of law, I urge all the Obidients in the various states to continue campaigning for our candidates, namely, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour in Lagos, Chijioke Edeoga in Enugu, Patrick Dakum in Plateau, Alex Otti in Abia, Ken Pela in Delta.
“Ibrahim Mshelia in Borno, to name just a few. It is also imperative that Obidients vote for candidates with Competence, Character, Capacity, and Compassion. I remain committed and will give more attention to our mission of retrieving our mandate. A new Nigeria is possible!”
