I won 2023 presidential election, Obi insists
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has insisted that he won last Saturday’s presidential election, stating that he was ready to prove it.
He revealed that the results used to declare the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was controversial and predetermined, and not the results of last Saturday’s presidential election.
CAPITAL POST reports that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu in the early hours of Wednesday announced Tinubu as the duly elected President.
Tinubu who is now 70 years, according to INEC, polled 8,794,726 votes to win the 2023 presidential election.
Our correspondent earlier reported that the collation centre at the International Conference Centre was rocked with controversies and protests by aggrieved supporters of the Labour Party who claimed that the party won.
Speaking at a world on Thursday, Obi maintained that the exercise did not meet the necessary requirements and shouldn’t have been credible to declare Tinubu as winner.
The former Anambra State governor insisted that Nigerians were robbed of their true choice, adding that he would pursue justice through court and was ready to challenge the results till he prove his argument.
He added, “We have to go through this darkness. The structure of criminality can’t go out overnight.
“All we need to show is commitment and resilience. I will be at the forefront and will work through this darkness until daybreak,” Obi vowed.
