#NigeriaElections2023: I Won The Election And Will Prove It To Nigerians, Says Peter Obi

*I’ll prove LP won presidential poll, Obi vows

The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Wednesday, disclosed that last Saturday’s presidential was controversial and programmed to deliver pre-determined results.

He said the election did not meet the necessary requirements and could not be adjudged credible.

The former Anambra State governor who is currently addressing a world press conference in Abuja said that Nigerians were robbed of their true choice.

He insisted that he would pursue justice through court and was ready to challenge the results till he prove his argument.

“Labour Party won the election and I will prove it,” Obi vowed.

He added, “I will challenge this rascality for the future of the country”.

The former governor said he believed the process through which people come into any position was important and there was a need for Nigeria to sanitise the process.

“On this issue (presidential election) I am challenging the process,” Obi said.

He said he had challenged several election results and come out victorious and he would be approaching the court with the firm belief of getting justice.

“The court exists for this and they have asked me to go to court and I will be going to court,” the former governor added.

Quipped on if he is under pressure, he said no one can put him under pressure for challenging the rascality.

“We have to go through this darkness. The structure of criminality can’t go out overnight.

“All we need to show is commitment and resilience. I will be at the forefront and will work through this darkness until the daybreak,” Obi vowed.

When asked for his advice to youths who are demoralized and intend to leave, Peter Obi, while addressing the nation, said: “I see people telling me they want to leave the country―stay in Nigeria. I will stay with you.”

Obi assured Nigerian youths that the Labour Party will overcome and reclaim its mandate.

“I assure you, we will overcome,” he said

Obi shed tears while narrating his meeting with a young Nasarawa lady, who finished university in 2018 and could not secure a job anywhere and did not have just N75,000 to buy an oven to start her bakery business.

Narrating on live TV, Obi said: “One thing about me is that I always want to know what young people want. I went somewhere with my Chairman (Labour Party chairman) this afternoon and I needed to boil water for tea. I wanted to do it but she volunteered to do it.

“Along the line, I asked her name, she told me. She said she’s from Nasarawa and a graduate of Nasarawa State University. About her school, [she] said she schooled in Nasarawa. She said she finished school in 2018 and has no work. I asked her what she was doing here and she said she wants to bake.

“When I asked why she’s not baking, she said she doesn’t have N75,000 to buy an oven [he shed tears].”
