The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has lampooned the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, expressing concerns over his demonstration of troubling lack of character, candour, and dignity.
The PCC, in a statement by its spokesperson, Dele Alake, made available to newsmen in Abuja, chided the former Anambra State governor over his sumersualting claims on winning the 2023 presidential election.
The spokesperson noted that nothing could be more annoying than Obi’s recent claim that he won the 2023 presidential election, while simultaneously admitting he lacks the evidence to support it.
The PCC emphasised that it reflects a deep and troubling disconnection from reality and absolute disregard for facts and truth for a candidate who finished a distant third in the presidential poll to persistently insist he won without evidence and contrary to all official records.
Tagged Peter Obi’s election claims troubling display of delusion, the PCC, noted: “Nothing is more annoying than Obi’s recent claim that he won the 2023 presidential election, while simultaneously admitting he lacks the evidence to support it.”
“In a recent interview on the BBC, Obi stated: ”I don’t like going back to the past. I won the last election. There’s no evidence, but I won the election. Everything is not based on evidence.”
”By Obi’s logic, it is acceptable to make outrageous claims without a shred of evidence or verisimilitude. For him, it is in order and acceptable to make allegations without substantiation or to act on impulse by airing unsubstantiated conjectures.
“This is deeply troubling. There is simply no end to Obi’s posturing and no end to his shenanigans and farce. For a candidate who placed a distant third in the presidential poll to persistently insist he won — without evidence and contrary to all official records — reflects a deep and troubling disconnection from reality and absolute disregard for facts and truth.
“This constant habit of exaggerating facts is unbecoming of a man who aspires to lead our great country. Where is Obi sourcing his facts? Could it be from his infamous adviser at Upper Iweka Junction or from one Obidient punching the laptop for the next post from California or Dallas?” Alake asked sarcastically.
Reacting further, the PCC noted that; “At the pain of restating the factually obvious, President Bola Tinubu won the 2023 election decisively. There can be no doubt about it. The Independent National Electoral Commission confirmed his victory. The election tribunal and the country’s highest court affirmed it.”
“President Tinubu has continued to discharge his mandate, advancing key reforms that have stabilised the economy, expanded infrastructure, supported businesses and youth, upgraded education and healthcare, and created job opportunities.
“We again call on Peter Obi to act honourably and honour his earlier pledge to exit the 2027 presidential race if it is proven that his administration left behind liabilities in Anambra State—a fact now clearly established by the state’s financial records,” the statement read.
