We are ready to meet Obi in court, says APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is ready to meet Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in court over his claim of electoral fraud in the Feb. 25 presidential election. NEWSDIARY reports.Information Guide Nigeria

Director of Media and Publicity APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Mr. Bayo Onanuga, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

The statement was the APC PCC reaction to comments made by Obi, at a news conference in Abuja.

“We welcome the decision of Mr. Obi to seek redress in court as an aggrieved party if he is convinced of the evidences of electoral frauds he will present before the tribunal as alleged.

“Going to court is part of the electoral process and it is the most decent, statesmanlike, and civilised course of action to take,“ Onanuga said.NYSC Portal

He said the APC PCC salute the decision, adding that it was better than calling supporters to the streets and instigating social unrest.

He, however, challenged some specific claims in Obi`s press address, saying that contrary to his statement, it was not true that the election was not free and fair.

Onanuga said the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly election was one of the most transparent and peaceful elections in the history of Nigeria.

“It is because the process was credible that made it possible for Obi’s Labour Party to record the over six million votes it got contrary to the pre-election forecast.

“That Labour Party and Obi surprised bookmakers by winning in Lagos, Nasarawa, Plateau, Delta, and Edo States where there are sitting governors of either the APC or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Those governors have entrenched political machinery,’’ Onanuga said, adding that Obi’s win, attests to the credibility of the election process in those states.JAMB Result
