The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has labelled the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Gregory Obi, as a habitual complainant.
This is coming on the heels of Obi rejecting the outcome of the recently concluded Edo State governorship election, which Labour Party lost.
But reacting to Obi’s utterances on the election, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said Obi is a habitual complainer.
He noted that Obi has consistently refuses to accept the outcome of any election that does not favour him or his candidates.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, the winner of the election.
Fielding questions in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday, Morka emphasized that Obi’s views on the election hold no significance.
He said, “Peter Obi is a serial complainer. Who will not accept the result of any election that is not in his favour or candidates that he supports.
“Since the 2023 election, Obi has been in consistent denial of that election. He has a new pet project which is to deny the Edo State election. Whatever he thinks of the Edo election is completely irrelevant.
“I think Akpata and Ighodalo have a legitimate interest in that election. And if they are not satisfied, they should do what they must do. Which is to head to court and prove the allegations that they are handling around now. They are spreading unsubstantiated allegations.
“I have not listened to any of them finishing any evidence of the high-sounding allegations that they make. When you get to court, it’s not about the headlines. You must break it down to realistic evidence to support your argument of winning the elections.”
Recall that after the announcement of the Edo State election results, Peter Obi criticized the process. He called it a “blatant example of state capture” that undermines Nigeria’s democratic principles.
Obi also cautioned that such flawed methods of leadership selection could have serious consequences for the country. He, therefore, urged the authorities to take action to address the issues of the election.
