Obi living in denial over 2023 poll – APC campaign council

The APC Presidential Campaign Council has accused Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, of living in denial over his loss in the election. According to the council, Obi's claims of winning the election contradict official records.

Obi had stated in a BBC Africa interview that he won the election, but acknowledged having no evidence to support his claim.

The APC Presidential Campaign Council, citing the Independent National Electoral Commission, the election tribunal, and the Supreme Court, maintains that President Bola Tinubu won the election. The council's spokesman, Dele Alake, criticized Obi's remarks, describing them as lacking character, candour, and dignity.
