The Labour Party (LP) has denied allegations that its members threatened judges who were considering Peter Obi’s suit challenging the Bola Tinubu-favoring election results.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fabricated the narrative, according to National Publicity Secretary Obiora Ifoh, in order to damage the LP’s reputation and cause unrest.
He called an image that was going around a ruse “to distract from APC’s open intimidating remarks.”
LP emphasised comments made by Tinubu’s legal team that alluded to possible anarchy if Tinubu’s election result was overturned.

The party is adamant that the judges “will fulfil their statutory responsibilities based on the law and weight of the evidence.”
The statement reads, “As such LP did not need any threat, to secure the delivery of substantive justice.
“It is increasingly evident that the ruling party is afraid of its shadow and the truth, and is as busy fabricating and labelling the Labour Party to curry imaginary favour.
“The discerning public should disregard this dubious label of LP because they know who is panicking and trying to create anarchy in the land to remain in power at all costs.
“We, therefore wish to reiterate our belief in the sanctity of our jurisprudence and expect that justice will be served based on nothing short of what the constitution and extant law says and not via the troll mechanism or devious acts of the ruling party that is desperate to cling to power without the people’s mandate.”
