The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has said his party won the elections conducted on February, 25 and he will explore all legal and peaceful means to prove it.
Obi made this known on Thursday at a press conference held in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He said, “Nigerians especially the youths believed in and worked tirelessly for a new Nigeria. Gratitude to the Obidients, those who believed a new Nigeria is possible and I say to them a new Nigeria is possible and we will work for that new Nigeria that is possible.
“The commitment and silence of Nigerians even in the face of unwarranted panic attacks is a testimony that a new Nigeria is indeed possible. Look at people like lady Jennifer who was stabbed and still went on to vote then that gives me the courage to believe that a new Nigeria is indeed possible.”
“They asked us to go the court, remember I’m an ‘Obedient’, I will go to where they ask us to go.” He noted
Obi, in his first public appearance since the conclusion of the presidential poll, lamented that the number of voters in the 2023 election reduced sharply by 20% despite the increase in the number of registered voters and persons who collected their PVC in 2023.
“The reason for the reduction is due to manipulation and removal of votes here and there…We have chosen that we will challenge this rascality for the future of this country, Nigeria can’t conduct credible elections after 63 years of independence, it’s something we should all reflect on.
“We are not in an alliance, we’re discussing and in partnership with other people and any other Nigerian who feels hurt as we do,” the Labour Party presidential candidate said.
