While appearing on News Channel, Arise TV, on Tuesday 14 March, Peter Obi said he is “challenging the INEC electoral process that led to the declaration of Tinubu as President-elect”.
The 2023 Presidential election conducted on Saturday 25 February, 2023, produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, 2023 Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as Nigeria’s President-elect.
Tinubu was declared winner of the 2023 Presidential election by the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu – discomfiting Peter Obi of the Labour Party; Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP); Rabiu Kwakwanso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP); alongside other Presidential candidates of other Political Parties.
The former Governor of Anambra State said, he is also “challenging the declaration itself”.
Obi said: “Following my response to a question while appearing on Arise TV earlier today, I want to state categorically that at the Presidential Elections Tribunal(PET), I am challenging the INEC electoral process that led to the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect as well as the Declaration itself.”
