BREAKING: Peter Obi admits to breaking 'the law', reiterates commitment to new Nigeria

Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has admitted to breaking "the law" but maintained that he would not do that intentionally.

The former governor of Anambra state took to his Twitter on Tuesday evening and wrote on his commitment to taking back the country from forces he alleged were making the people poorer.

The law that Peter Obi has broken He promised to bring out the people of the "north", in particular, out of poverty and that his alleged stolen mandate would be taken back.

The Labour Party leader then said: "Sometimes, as humans, we make mistakes, but I will never knowingly break any law. I am, therefore, not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person. They are part of the journey to a New Nigeria."

Recall that Peter Obi recently reported having been arrested in the United Kingdom by immigration officials, the details of his arrest in the UK have remained shrouded in speculation, and he has kept mute on the events that led to his arrest.

The Labour Party candidate has also been accused by the opposition of committing a felony over his claim that he won the election where figures showed he came third.

His running mate, Yusuf Datti, was accused of committing fascism by Professor Wole Soyinka, Nigeria's celebrated Nobel Laureate.

He was also accused of politicizing religion during his campaigns, but Obi did not further explain the law he had broken as "humans".

I encourage Nigerians to remain calm and steadfast in the journey to reclaiming their mandate of a New Nigeria. I will never give up on this journey until victory is achieved.
