Peter Obi accuses INEC of not allowing them inspect electoral materials

Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said that he would be putting a hold on his whistle-stop campaign for governorship and state assembly candidates of the party today, March 8, following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) refusal to allow them to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the February 25 presidential elections.

Recall that Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party were granted access to inspect sensitive materials used by INEC in the presidential election by a Court of Appeal. Obi, in tweets he shared, said he would be accompanying his lawyers to court over the issue. He also urged his supporters to vote for all Labour party candidates in the forthcoming election. The tweet read; “I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today. Initially, my trip was to take me to Nasarawa, Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Plateau, Borno, etc.

“However, following INEC’s refusal to allow our party to inspect the materials (including BVAS) from the 25th February presidential elections, I am personally heading to the Court today with our lawyers. “As we pursue due process and defer to the rule of law, I urge all the OBIdients in the various states to continue campaigning for our candidates, namely, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour in Lagos, Chijoke Edeoga in Enugu, Patrick Dakum in Plateau, Alex Otti in Abia, Ken Pela in Delta, Ibrahim Mshelia in Borno, to name just a few. It is also imperative that Obidients vote for candidates with Competence, Character, Capacity, and Compassion. I remain committed and will give more attention to our mission of retrieving our mandate. A new Nigeria is possible! -PO” I am supposed to commence our whistle-stop campaign for our various Labour Party Governorship and State Assembly Candidates today.

Peter Obi fulfills pledge to assist lady who couldn’t afford N75K to buy oven for her business

Popular politician and presidential candidate, Peter Obi has redeemed a pledge he made to a young lady who couldn’t afford to buy an oven for her baking business.

It would be recalled that during a press conference following the declaration of his political opponent, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president-elect, Peter Obi had narrated his encounter with the young entrepreneur. He had revealed that the entrepreneur, Ms. Gimba Sophia Emmanuel, who graduated in 2018 had told him that she had been unable to purchase an oven for her business. While recounting his chat with the lady, he had been moved to tears as he wondered how badly the state of Nigeria has become that a graduate couldn’t afford to get herself an oven for her business.

Days following this, the presidential candidate, who has taken the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the ruling party APC to court, has offered the Nigerian lady a financial assistance. He shared a photo of him and the young lady standing with a check of undisclosed amount held out for the camera. Mr Peter Obi wrote: “Today, I fulfilled my pledge to assist Ms Gimba Sophia Emmanuel in her aspiration to acquire an oven and start her baking and confectionery business. Interestingly, she had indicated that she would procure a Nigerian made oven, thus enhancing the value chain and putting into effect the production to consumption mantra. #PeterObi 🇳🇬”

“Accept defeat, don’t waste your time” — Senator Bent urges Peter Obi, Atiku

Senator Grace Bent urges former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his Labour Party counterpart, Mr Peter Obi to accept the results of the presidential election held on February 25th with grace and dignity.

The Senator who previously represented Adamawa South at the National Assembly issued the statement on Saturday, 4th March in Yola. She extended congratulations to the declared winners, Senator Bola Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima, for their victory. Bent stated that it would be a waste of resources and time for Peter Obi and Atiku to pursue a legal case.

Bent’s Statement to Atiku and Peter Obi “Engaging in a legal tussle on the widely adjudged most credible election will amount to only unnecessary distraction to hold down the process of leadership to thrive. “The presidential election results were a true reflection of Nigerians honest votes , you don’t need to waste your time and resources. “Going to court will lead them in exercise in futility with no positive impact in the judiciary and democratic systems. “I believe in the duo style of leadership, the ticket will unite us more than the thinking of many who are selfish to look at it from the religious point of view,” she said. “I wish them good tenure in office, I know in their ticket Nigerians will smile again,” Bent added.

Tinubu sets up reconciliation committee, to meet Atiku, Peter Obi, others

The President-elect, Tinubu has reportedly set up a reconciliation committee to meet with presidential candidates of other political parties.

Recall that Tinubu was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu made this known in Abuja during the presentation of the certificate of return to the president-elect, and Kashim Shetima, vice president-elect. He said: “The president-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together,” “This is an election that was not padded. People who voted were counted, that is the way I see it, not one which shows millions of votes. You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each, it has never been like that before.” Akeredolu maintained that the people of Ondo state voted for Tinubu because they wanted a southern president. “Ondo people are progressives and we will always, at least, be on the side of progressivism. From the onset, we were at the forefront of clamour for a southern president and so we have to put everything we had into it and we got the support, that is why we are able to make it,” he said.

Why Peter Obi left PDP, lost presidential election — Atiku

PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar reveals the reason Peter Obi left his Party before the presidential primary election in 2022 and why the LP candidate lost the election.

Atiku made this known during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday regarding the February 25 Presidential election, that Obi left the PDP because he was apprehensive about the demands of the party’s governors and was in a hurry. Reason Peter Obi Left PDP – Atiku Atiku said, “I think Peter [Obi] was in a rush. When the campaign started, and our PDP governors sat down and said they must produce the presidential and vice presidential candidates, the chief of staff among themselves, Peter, got scared and left. “I didn’t get scared. I stood up against the governors. When we founded the PDP, some of them were perhaps in secondary schools or universities. So, why should I be afraid? So, I stood up and I fought them. They fought me and I fought them and I won the primary election. “So, if he was there, nothing could’ve stopped him from becoming a running mate because I had the right to choose whoever I wanted as my running mate.” Atiku on Why Peter Did Not Win the Election “Yes, agreed that he took our votes from the South-east and the South-south and that of course would not make him a president. You all know that to win the presidential election in Nigeria, you need votes from everywhere,” he stated. Requirements to become president Section 134 of the constitution stipulates the requirements a candidate must meet to be declared the winner of a presidential election. The section states that:
“(1) A candidate for an election to the office of the President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election “(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and “(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.” Watch the video below …

He pressed on to state that a revolution bigger than the EndSARS protest will shake Nigeria before Obi is reinstated as the President of the country. “I saw Peter Obi crying; red eye in tears, proper tears. However, because there is no money to buy votes, he’d lose in the poll. I saw INEC announcing BAT as the winner. There will be a protest bigger than EndSars; it would be a revolution.
