Any presidential candidate who feels they were wronged by the results of the February 25 election is free to contest those results, according to the Imo Youths for Equality and Justice.
Frankline Awuzie, the group’s chairman, claimed on Thursday that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, had not broken any laws by asking a court to overturn the election commission’s pronouncement that Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress had won.
Awuzie predicted that the claimed schemes to implicate Obi for no other reason than the fact that he was contesting the results of the presidential election during a press conference in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, would fail.
Awuzie criticized Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, for attempting to charge Obi with treason.
The youth leader argued that instead of condemning Obi, the political establishment should applaud him for his insistence on looking into legal avenues for contesting the results of the presidential election.
