APC Criticizes Peter Obi's 2023 Election Claims

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has condemned Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), for asserting that he won the 2023 presidential election despite lacking evidence. APC spokesman Dele Alake described Obi's claim as a “troubling display of delusion,” arguing that public assertions should be backed by verifiable facts.

Obi reportedly stated, “I won the last election. There’s no evidence, but I won the election.

Everything is not based on evidence,” during a BBC interview. Alake pointed out that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Bola Tinubu the winner, a result upheld by both the election tribunal and the Supreme Court.

He criticized Obi's behavior as unbecoming of a presidential aspirant and challenged him to fulfill a previous pledge to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race if it was proven that his administration left financial liabilities for Anambra State. Alake also defended Tinubu’s administration, citing its economic reforms and contributions to infrastructure and job creation.
