Abuja, FCT – Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has stated he will take legal action. After the All Progressives Congress (APCAsiwaju )’s Bola Tinubu was called the winner, Obi spoke.
Peter Obi declares that we’ll use legal means to contest the outcome. In response to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) announcement, Obi declared he would legally and peacefully contest Tinubu’s victory.
On behalf of our presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, I address you all and indeed all Nigerians on the current situation in the country following the announcement of the purported result of the presidential election held on Saturday, February 25th 2023.
“Please be assured of our determination to fight the injustice that has been perpetrated on Nigerians through all legal and peaceful means. It is our position that the purported result did not meet the minimum criteria of a transparent, free and fair election,” Baba-Ahmed said.
He, however, thanked Nigerians for their belief in them and for coming out en masse to vote for the Labour Party and a cause they believed in, which he said was the birth of a new Nigeria.
It was earlier, reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially declared APC’s Tinubu as the winner of Nigeria’s 2023 Presidential Election. Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of INEC, declared Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, the winner of the keenly contested election in the early hours of Wednesday, March 1, in Abuja.
