In the aftermath of Saturday’s exercise, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has come out to declare that he actually won the 2023 presidential election<\/a> and will fight to reclaim his mandate.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to him, his mandate was stolen by people who Nigerians are supposed to be looking up to which he can only retrieve in a court of law.<\/p>\n

Obi made this assertion while speaking on Thursday afternoon during his first media briefing since after Saturday\u2019s presidential and National Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

He said, ‘We\u2019ll explore all legal options to retrieve our mandate. We won the election. I\u2019m fully committed to a better future for the country and nothing can stop that.’<\/em><\/p>\n

‘For the election on Saturday go out there and vote. I\u2019ll be part of it, I assure you’.<\/p>\n

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 presidential election has urged Nigerian youths not to leave the country in search of greener pastures.<\/p>\n

Africa Today News, New York reports that shortly after Bola Tinubu was declared winner of Saturday\u2019s presidential election, some Nigerian youths expressed interest in leaving the country.<\/p>\n

When asked for his advice to youths who are demoralized and intend to leave, Peter Obi, while addressing the nation, said: \u201cI see people telling me they want to leave the country\u2015stay in Nigeria. I will stay with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obi assured Nigerian youths that the Labour Party will overcome and reclaim its mandate.<\/p>\n

‘I assure you, we will overcome,’ he said.<\/p>\n

In another report, last weekend\u2019s presidential and National Assembly elections<\/a>\u00a0held in Nigeria have been described as far below the reasonable expectations of the people by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).Its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, in a statement on Wednesday, lamented that the polls were marred by late arrival of election materials in parts of the country, malfunction of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) machines, failure of electronic transmission of results to virtual results viewing portal amid other structural challenges in the electoral process.<\/p>\n

The cleric said these flaws were despite repeated assurances from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on its solid preparedness for the polls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
