Edo poll: APC slams Peter Obi, calls him serial complainer

The All Progressives Congress has labelled the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as a habitual complainer.

The APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said Obi consistently refuses to accept the outcome of any election that does not favour him or his candidates.

This came following Obi’s remark about the Edo State governorship election result which declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, as the winner of the election.

Morka stated this during an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday.

He also emphasised that Obi’s views on the election hold no significance.

“Peter Obi is a serial complainer who will not accept the result of any election that is not in his favour or candidates that he supports.

“Since the 2023 election, Obi has been in consistent denial of that election. He has a new pet project which is to deny the Edo State election. Whatever he thinks of the Edo election is completely irrelevant.

“I think Akpata and Ighodalo have a legitimate interest in that election and if they are not satisfied, they should do what they must do which is to head to court and prove the allegations that they are handling around now. They are spreading unsubstantiated allegations.

“I have not listened to any of them finishing any evidence of the high-sounding allegations that they make. When you get to court, it’s not about the headlines; you must break it down to realistic evidence to support your argument of winning the elections,” he stated.

After the Edo election results were announced, Peter Obi criticized the process, calling it a “blatant example of state capture” that undermines Nigeria’s democratic principles.

He cautioned that such flawed methods of leadership selection could have serious consequences for the country, urging the authorities to take action to address the issue. https://punchng.com/edo-election-example-of-state-capture-obi/
