LP Youths caution against calls to arrest Obi, Datti, express confidence in judiciary

The Labour Party (LP) Youths have cautioned against calls on the federal government to arrest the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, demanding immediate stoppage.
The National Youth Leader of Labour Party, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, at a press conference in Owerri, Imo State, noted that Obi and Datti engaged in exceptional campaign, displaying their leadership competence and strength of character during the election period, stating that “there are no basis” for the calls for their arrest. He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of manipulation propaganda to mislead the people on the reality of issues in the country.
Ahanotu, also LP Deputy National Secretary, had stated: “it is surprising to see the APC stage-managing all manners of baseless propaganda to misrepresent” the people’s collective sense of equity and fairness.
He declared that “all the calls for the arrest of Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed should stop immediately as the Obidient Nigerian youths have cast their final hope on the judiciary”.
He added that the young people shall be in the court to observe every process for future reference.
Ahanotu further stated: “the attacks, intimidation and molestation of the Igbos in Lagos should please be stopped because such is an invitation to national instability. Nigerians must live as free citizens wherever they are in any part of this country”.
Ahanotu enjoined security agencies in the country to “adopt high level of professional conduct in excoriating their jobs and desist from being ready tools in the hands of power-drunk politicians who have kept the nation below the bars of international standards”.
The LP Youth Leader added that Obidient youths have passed a vote of confidence on the Nigerian Judiciary, and that the youths refuse to accept “the insinuations that the judiciary has been cowered and pocketed by powers that be, to subvert justice and popular wishes of Nigerians”. He said that the youths will be in court when hearing on the election petition begins.
