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.
