Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi will not attend the inauguration ceremony of the president elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tai Obasi, aide to the LP candidate made this known in a statement on Sunday while dismissing reports that the party is planning to stage a protest during the inauguration.

Obasi said his principal will not attend the inauguration even though an invitation was sent to him.

Truth Live News gathered that there were wide speculations that the labour party is planning to stage a protest to stop the inauguration of Tinubu.

“I don’t know where that report is coming from. We don’t know anything about it or who are behind the proposed protest. But I can categorically tell you that my principal is not aware of anything, Obasi was quoted as saying by PUNCH.

“He is Obi and his followers are Obidient. I agree that on some occasions, they may act on their own, no matter how you tell them to keep calm. These guys are angry. They are not happy about how everything was manipulated against Obi who has given them so much hope. They followed him and waited for him all the way.”

“My principal is a very humble and reasonable man who is always looking for peace and unity of the country at all costs,” Obi’s aide said when asked if his principal will attend Tinubu’s inauguration following reports that political parties and their presidential candidates were sent individual invitations.

“But it will be strange for him to attend a ceremony honouring a leader whose election triumph he is contesting in court.”

Furthermore, he added, “My principal cannot act that weird and unreasonable. I can’t confirm if he receives an invitation to the swearing-in ceremony. But I am telling you that you can’t see him there.”
