APC Criticizes Peter Obi's Claim of 2023 Election Win

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has condemned Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, for asserting that he won the last presidential election despite lacking evidence. In a statement released on Friday, spokesperson Dele Alake characterized Obi's remarks, made during a BBC interview, as a troubling display of delusion.

Obi, who served as the governor of Anambra State, claimed, “I don’t like going back to the past; I won the last election. There’s no evidence, but I won the election, as everything is not based on evidence.” The APC council responded by stating that Obi's insistence on victory, despite placing third in the election, reflects a disconnection from reality.

They reiterated that President Bola Tinubu was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, a decision upheld by both the Presidential Election Petition Court and the Supreme Court. The council also challenged Obi to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race if it is proven that his administration left financial liabilities in Anambra State.
