Despite the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declaring Tinubu as the winner, Obi has consistently maintained that he won the election and headed to court to contest the outcome.

In a tweet posted after the meeting, Obi stated that the discussion was constructive and centered on the future of the party.

He thanked the stakeholders for their support and reassured them of his readiness to do whatever it takes to ensure that the LP’s mandate is restored.

This statement from Obi comes at a time when there are rumors circulating that he may withdraw his petition against Tinubu’s victory.

Despite the rumors, Obi’s comments show that he is still very much focused on fighting for what he believes is rightfully his.

His determination to explore all legal options available is a clear indication that he is not prepared to back down without a fight.
