Presidential candidate for the Labour Party, Peter Obi, could not hold back his emotions as he engaged the media following the declaration of the 2023 presidential elections.
Mr Obi, who fells cheated and has pledged to head to court broke down into tears. This was not directly as a result of claims of being cheated. He was recounting an unforgettable moment with a Nigerian lady he believed should be studying.
According to him, the lady decided to enter the baking business since she could not continue her education, but that even became impossible as she could not afford N75,000 to buy an oven
This got Peter Obi emotional and shed a few tears.
Meanwhile, the Labour Party presidential candidate is keen of proving that Bola Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential elections.
“Labour party won the election and I will prove it. I have had several phone calls where I asked people to remain calm and peaceful, that has nothing to do with what I am challenging, I am challenging the process.
“If a process is faulty, it is faulty, in fact, you can’t build peace on a faulty foundation, it cannot happen anywhere in the world.”
At the end of the election held on February 25, 2023, APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged as the winner.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, indicated that Tinubu polled a total of 8,794,726 to defeat his closest rivals and candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Obi of the Labour Party, LP who scored 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533 respectively.
