APC PCC Rebukes Peter Obi for False Election Claims

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has admonished Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), to refrain from making outrageous claims regarding the 2023 presidential election. This statement follows Obi's assertion during a BBC interview that he won the election, despite lacking evidence and finishing third behind incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC.

Dele Alake, spokesperson for the APC PCC, described Obi's claims as unpresidential and indicative of a troubling disconnection from reality. The APC emphasized that Tinubu's victory was confirmed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the election tribunal, and the Supreme Court.

The statement also criticized Obi's habit of exaggerating facts and called for him to honor his pledge to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race if his administration left liabilities in Anambra State.
