- The APC has fired back at Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, describing him as a serial complainer while reacting to the Edo governorship election results
- Felix Morka, the APC's spokesperson, said Obi never accepted the result of any election he lost or his candidate was defeated
- The APC then stated that Obi was never a candidate in the election, asking the opponents, the PDP and the Labour Party, to seek redress in court if they were not satisfied with the poll outcome
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described Peter Obi, the Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, as a serial complainer, adding that the former Anambra state governor never accepts the results of any election he or his candidate lost.
Felix Morka, the APC spokesperson, made the claim in an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, September 25, regarding the outcome of the Edo state governorship election, which was held on Saturday, September 21.
According to Morka, the APC did not have business with Peter Obi because he did not participate in the just-concluded governorship election.
APC to PDP, Labour Party: Go to court
The APC maintained that it is understandable that anyone who went into an election with the mindset of winning but lost would be deterred and urged the aggrieved losers in the election to approach the court and register their grievances rather than doing a media trial.
Recall that INEC declared Monday Okpebholo of the APC as the winner of the Edo state governorship election that took place on Saturday, September 21.
According to INEC, the APC candidate polled 291,667 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, came second with 247,274 votes. Meanwhile, Labour Party's Olumide Akpata emerged third with 22,763 votes.
However, the PDP and the Labour Party have rejected the election outcome, alleging electoral malpractice during the process. The two opposition parties have pointed accusing fingers at INEC and the APC.
