The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has faulted the conduct of the 2023 general elections, citing irregularities in the just concluded exercise.

Obi, 61, lost to Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) by almost two votes after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the result on Wednesday.

While Obi finished in third place polling 6,101,533, Tinubu raked in 8,794,726 to emerge the winner of the keenly contested poll.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, Obi said: “Is this what we spent billions to do? We should have used that billions to do something else and announce what we announced.”

The former Anambra Governor insisted that he on the February 25th presidential election and will explore all legal means to retrieve the mandate.

According to the LP presidential candidate, last Saturday’s poll did not meet the minimum standard of a free and fair election.

Speaking further, he appealed to his supporters to be calm, saying their support will not be in vain.

Obi explained that he and his team are committed to building a better Nigeria, expressing hope that the judiciary will help him reclaim his stolen mandate.

He described the outcome of the presidential poll as unfair, vowing to challenge the result in court.

“We will explore all legal and peaceful options to reclaim our mandate. We won the election and we will prove it to Nigerians.

“I am challenging the process,”
Obi declared to a room full of journalists in Nigeria’s capital city, his first media appearance after the declaration of a winner by the electoral umpire.

“This is very unfair. It is the least expected of Nigeria,” he added.

Just at the commencement of the briefing, Obi observed a one-minute silence for all injured and deceased victims of the February 25 poll.

Also in attendance at the briefing is the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure; as well as the director general of Obi’s presidential campaign, Akin Osuntokun.

He also said he and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed remain committed to a new Nigeria.

It is really a mess.

Just look at Nigerians in their massive numbers glued to the television and internet watching ordinary speech by PODATTI.

Compare with the grave yard silence all over the nation with the announcement of the fraudulent mandate of tilumbu.

Relax Nigerians. Our joy will be restored. There is no doubt about.
Nigeria is the only country we have . The true and authentic mandate of the people must be returned.

Tinubu will not be President of Nigeria. He did not win the presidential election

All Justices of the courts are now on the people's radar.

The court proceedings will be kept in the front burner of national and international news. Let us see if the judges will start looking for the usual 'technicalities' to deny Nigerians their mandate, after the greatest televised electoral heist in Africa with mountains of evidence all over the place.

The integrity, independence and strength of the Courts will be tested thoroughly.

angry


Lagosians,

I have never seen a forum as partial as this and we won’t keep quiet.
We dey on our own jeje when MODs push anti Sanwo Olu thread to front page that people should vote out Sanwo olu. Simply because some people are angry, then we should make irrational decisions and vote out a competent governor while voting for a tribal bigot with no leadership experience to run the 4th largest economy in Africa
Here’s the thread; https://www.nairaland.com/7591033/obidients-get-ready-retire-sanwo-olu


Evidence of Chinedu Rhodes Water vapor has been trending since yesterday and MOD refused to push to front page because Chinedu is Seun’s friend.
We won’t keep quiet
We won’t hand over Lagos to a tribal bigot, and a Biafra secessionist

To be honest, he has a point but the reality on the ground is this, Nothing will change. Nigeria is too gone.

Guys, I hope you have sharpened your beaks, you bunch are about to peck on corns until you turn to birds.

Get ready boys and girls, in 2 years they will blame herdsmen, they will blame cabal, they will blame the opposition and finally, they will pivot to "by God's grace"
Then when it is re-election time, these same people who were almost mortuary-ready from hunger will come on forums like this and tell you how this administration is the best thing since sliced bread.

As I said, get ready. If the hunger gets you and you have prime land for sale, I will be there to pick it up when the dollar goes to 1.5k naira.

Enjoy the emotional dance now, the reality is on the way.
