We helped Peter Obi to become LP presidential candidate- Sowore

Speaking at the memorial lecture held in honour of the late human rights lawyer and activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, in Lagos on Monday, Sowore said that he and human rights lawyer, Femi Falana helped the party to pick the former Governor of Anambra State after they took legal steps to defend the Labour Party when they had a problem.

“When 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 obtained a judgment in court, from the Court of Appeal and handed it over to Falana to use it to defend the Labour Party, and by extension, Peter Obi’s candidacy.

“Yes! I’m just telling you that we’re in the business of saving people,” Sowore said.
