APC: Peter Obi’s Complaints on Edo Election Results Are Irrelevant
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has labelled Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate from 2023, as a persistent complainer who refuses to accept electoral outcomes that do not favour him or his party.
Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, made these remarks during an appearance on Arise TV.
He criticized Obi’s ongoing disputes regarding the recent governorship election in Edo State, asserting that the former presidential candidate has been in denial since the 2023 elections.
Morka emphasized that Obi’s views on the Edo election hold no significance.
“Peter Obi is a serial complainer who will not accept the results of any election that does not align with his interests or those of his candidates,” Morka stated.
“Since the 2023 election, he has consistently denied the outcome, and now he has turned his attention to undermining the legitimacy of the Edo State election.”
Morka encouraged those who are dissatisfied with the election results, such as the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata, and the Peoples Democratic Party’s Asue Ighodalo, to pursue legal action if they believe there are grounds for challenge.
He criticized the opposition for spreading what he described as unfounded allegations without providing substantial evidence.
According to the election results, Akpata received 22,763 votes, while Monday Okpebholo of the APC won decisively with 291,667 votes, followed by Ighodalo, who garnered 247,274 votes.
Morka concluded that any claims made in the court of public opinion must be substantiated by tangible evidence rather than mere headlines.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
