Wednesday, October 7, 2026 -The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says there is no evidence to prove his claim that he won the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Africa, Obi maintained
that he believes he won the contest.
When pressed for evidence to justify his claim, the former
Anambra governor said, “There’s no evidence. Everything is not based on
evidence.”
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the polls, while
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, came second and Obi
finished third.
Recall that Obi and Atiku challenged the outcome at the
Presidential Election Petition Court, but the petitions were dismissed.
The Supreme Court subsequently upheld Tinubu’s victory.
During the BBC interview, Obi also addressed his position on
fuel subsidy, saying his stance had not changed despite criticism that his
comments on the issue had shifted.
