A prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi, has restated his claim that he emerged winner of the 2023 presidential election, despite the official results announced by electoral authorities.
Obi spoke on Saturday during the Naija Unfiltered podcast. He said the declared outcome did not match what he believes to be the true result of the poll.
“I can show you today, as far as I’m concerned, I have run election for the office of the President of Nigeria and won. But the system decided otherwise and they know it,” he said.
He stressed the point again, adding: “And we won. I can show you today as far as I’m concerned. I have run election for the office of the President of Nigeria and won. But the system decided otherwise and they know it.”
Obi was the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election. He polled about six million votes in the contest.
