JUST IN: Peter Obi Blasts Akpabio Over What He Told Tinubu About Rigging Election

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, responded to a recent comment made by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Akpabio claimed that Peter Obi did not win the presidential election in Lagos and Ebonyi States, insisting the election was rigged in those places.

Akpabio’s statement was as follows: “INEC must explain to us how you [Tinubu] would lose the election in Lagos during the presidential election. And Lagos was your base. In fact, one of the other explanations INEC will make to you is how you’ll win all the federal houses in Ebonyi States and we won the three Senate seats in Ebonyi State and they said you didn’t get 25 percent..”

Appearing on Parallel Fact, Peter Obi responded to Akpabio’s comments, saying, “The Senate President is an uncommon person, everything about him is uncommon. I don’t deal with uncommon people. I deal with common people…when uncommon people talk, common people keep quiet. I won the election not just in Lagos and Ebonyi, I won the elections in Nigeria. If not for Nigeria being an uncommon place we all know what happened.”
