The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has \u2018revealed\u2019 how he helped Peter Obi, emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

Sowore<\/a> said that the Labour Party ran into a problem in the course of choosing Obi as its presidential candidate, as there were calls that the former Anambra State governor should not be presented.<\/p>\n

The pro-democracy campaigner said he, alongside Femi Falana (SAN) rose to the occasion by taking legal steps to defend the LP.<\/p>\n

He stated this on Monday while speaking at the memorial lecture held in honour of the late human rights lawyer and activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Sowore said, \u201cWhen the Labour Party ran into a problem. There was a member of the LP who insisted that the LP could not present the candidacy of Peter Obi. They had a legal problem. We went and obtain judgment in court; from the Court of Appeal, and handed it over to Falana to use it to defend the Labour Party<\/a>, and by extension, Peter Obi\u2019s candidacy. Yes! I\u2019m just telling you that we\u2019re in the business of saving people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also claimed that he purportedly rescued Obi from being impeached as Anambra State governor.<\/p>\n

He said there were moves to \u201cflush out Obi in Anambra State twice, Sahara Reporters saved the day. Falana on a daily basis will call me, saying: \u2018I don\u2019t know Peter Obi<\/a>, but we should not allow this injustice to pass, nobody should be impeached,\u201d saying that as of that time, \u201cObasanjo was impeaching everybody impeachable at that time in Nigeria. That was how Obi was able to complete two tenures. So when we speak, we know what we\u2019re saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are saying that we have been standing with the Nigerian people but we don\u2019t have any sense of entitlement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
