The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was wrong to declare the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu  winner  of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Obi faulted the process that gave him victory, insisting that ”Tinubu never won the presidential election”

Obi spoke today, Monday 13th, on Arise Television breakfast programme, The Morning Show, declaring that ‘winning the election is about the process, is about winning the people and not just being declared president elect”.

He criticized Church leaders calling on him to accept the outcome of the February 25, 2023 election as ‘God’s wish’, to refrain from such position as they may be taking the name of God in vain.

Obi said if he should accept the admonishment by the church leaders, then it would mean that it is God’s wish for Nigerian people to be poor, and that its God’s wish for Nigerians to suffer all the economic hardship the country is going through.

He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow him and his legal team access to electoral material used in declaring  Tinubu as  president-elect.

He said that they are not challenging the declaration of INEC, but the process by which they arrived at the verdict.
