Obi: Tinubu Lost February 25 Election
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has disputed the declaration of All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25, 2023, presidential election. In an interview on Arise Television's The Morning Show, Obi stated that winning an election is about winning the people and not just being declared president-elect by INEC.

Obi criticised church leaders who are urging him to accept the outcome of the election as "God's wish," arguing that accepting such a suggestion implies that God wants Nigerians to continue to suffer from economic hardship and poverty.

He called on INEC to grant him and his team access to the electoral materials used in declaring Tinubu as president-elect. He clarified that they are not challenging INEC's declaration, but the process by which the decision was reached.

The Labour Party candidate's comments come amid widespread allegations of electoral fraud and irregularities during the February 25 election, which has caused tension and unrest across the country.

Many Nigerians have expressed concern that the election was neither free nor fair, with reports of voter intimidation, ballot box snatching, and vote rigging in some areas. The situation has resulted in protests and calls for a fresh election in some quarters.

Obi's assertion that Tinubu did not win the election is expected to generate controversy and debate, especially among the APC's supporters and leaders.

Observers say that the outcome of the election has far-reaching implications for the future of democracy in Nigeria and the stability of the country's political system. As such, it is crucial for all stakeholders to come together to address the challenges facing the nation and find a way forward.
