The All Progressives Congress, APC, has labelled the 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi as a serial complainer.

Felix Morka, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, stated that Obi has never accepted the results of any election not in favour of his candidates. This is a result of his loss in the 2023 presidential election, where he came in a distant third.

In an interview with Arise TV, Morka argued that Obi’s perception of the Edo State governorship election is irrelevant.

“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.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday, September 22, declared All Progressives Congress Monday Okpebholo as the winner of the Edo State election held on Saturday.

Okpebholo polled 291,667 votes to defeat his major contender, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 247,274 votes. LP’s governorship candidate, Olumide Akpata polled 22,763 votes, coming in a distant third in the polls.
