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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
