“I have never knowing compromised any officer and won my case in court, what I am doing is also for the good of their children. i am sure they will do the right thing.”
They have asked me to go to court, I am obedient, I will go to court.”
“Nobody will ever put me under pressure when I challenge their illegalities, Rascality and Process, I am challenging a process that is faulty.”

“This is very unfair. It is the least expected of Nigeria,” he said.
“I am for peace , I am challenging the process, you cannot have peace on a faulty foundation. If the Foundation is faulty, there cannot be peace. It is not about us, it is about our children and the society.
“We went into an election where someone said this is the route we will follow, and how we will do this when we start and he changes it. it is all about the the process, follow the process, it is important.”
Obi also mentioned that he alongside Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate remains committed to a new Nigeria while effusively thanking his supporters, also referred to as ‘Obidients’. He urged them not to be deterred by the outcome of the polls.
“We will work for that new Nigeria that is possible,” he said. “Datti and I remain committed to that new Nigeria.”
I know how the Youths feel now, They are Disillusioned, we will walk this path together, the people who did this are determined but we are more determined than them. We will overcome.”
