  "account": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has expressed concern over the ongoing display of lack of character, candor, and dignity by Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). The PCC's spokesman, Dele Alake, highlighted that Obi's recent claim of winning the 2023 presidential election without evidence is particularly troubling. He stated, \"I don’t like going back to the past. I won the last election. There’s no evidence, but I won the election. Everything is not based on evidence.\"\n\nAlake criticized Obi's habit of exaggerating facts, saying it is unbecoming of a man aspiring to lead the country. He suggested that this behavior might be more characteristic of overzealous supporters than a presidential candidate nearing the end of the race. Alake noted, \"By Obi’s logic, it is acceptable to make outrageous claims without a shred of evidence or veracity. For him, it is in order and acceptable to make allegations without substantiation or to act on impulse by airing unsubstantiated conjectures.\"\n\nAlake emphasized that Obi's persistent claims of victory, in the face of official records and electoral bodies confirming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's win, demonstrate a troubling disconnect from reality. He questioned the source of Obi's facts, implying that they might come from unreliable sources. Alake reiterated that Tinubu's victory was confirmed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the election tribunal, and the country's highest court. He urged Obi to act honorably and fulfill his earlier pledge to step down from the 2027 presidential race if it is proven that his administration left behind liabilities in Anambra State.",
